@kareF Thank you for the cheering! I put it on my newsfeed that shows to my friends and I'm surprised at the total lack of enthusiasm for that achievement. No one has even responded on FB. And I'm like "are you kidding me???! I JUST RAN 6 MILES PEOPLE!!!" So thank you

Today I ran 6.01 miles!!! NON-STOP! I've NEVER run that far. EVER! I had an avg pace of 4.5 until the last two miles and I kept repeating my mantra of the day...."Far, not fast. Distance, not speed." At the 5k mark I checked and my time was (for me) a respectable 13:25 mm. I am thrilled!
At some point it felt like my legs weren't even there. They were simply a propulsion method and I felt a bit disconnected from them. Does that description make sense to anyone? Is that normal?
And another question...I didn't stop because my body said I had to, I stopped because of how long I had been running (1 hr 22 min), it was getting dark, cooling off quickly and I still needed to take the time to cool down and walk back to my car. When I stopped running and started walking, a) my legs went jelly on me, b) I got really light-headed, and c) somehow convinced myself not to pass out. I literally talked myself thru it. So. The question...is any or all of that normal?? And what do I do to minimize it happening again?
Congratulations. What a milestone for you.
"At some point it felt like my legs weren't even there. " That is very normal. Means you are now able to put your focus on many things and not so much on your legs. They are just operating like they are supposed to.
"I didn't stop because my body said I had to, I stopped because of how long I had been running.."
Another normal feeling now that distance is no longer the biggest mental challenge.
"When I stopped running and started walking, a) my legs went jelly on me, b) I got really light-headed, and c) somehow convinced myself not to pass out." These are normal things. And there could be numerous reasons to explain this. Things to include, heart rate and blood flow slowing down is going to make your body feel different. Glycogen depletion. Muscle exertion. Dehydration (water & electrolytes).
You may want to make sure you have some Gatorade or water with electrolytes in it for you to consume immediately you are done. You may also want to get a protein bar or protein shake in you immediately. Continue the cool down post workout routine. You don't want your blood to pool by immediately sitting or lying down. You slow down, but you still want to promote circulation and blood flow. Then maybe a little light static stretching afterwards. You also have hormones going as you are running (look up runner's high) that are now decreasing after you cool down. As you run, those hormones mask what your muscles are feeling. But once you calm down and your hormones go into a resting state, you get the full effect of the post workout.
It will get better in time. Awesome milestone. Keep it up. Careful not to over do it. Important point you made, you worked hard but you felt like you could go further but stopped because of time. That is actually a good thing to feel. You want to work hard but stop knowing that you could go further if you had to.

Good question. You just did a kick @$$ job at yesterday's half. I would suggest maybe a nice walk today followed by some rest and stretching and/or foam rolling. Your body needs to recover after a race. Get some protein in you today as you will want to continue the hydration (water + electrolytes) process.0 -
Did you ever figure out what was causing it? If I'm reading the symptoms correctly it sounds like what happened to me after a Half. I assumed it was cuboid syndrome or the boney notch on the outside irritating the peroneous longus ligament/ tendon ( can't remember which). That runs under that area. Basically a sprain I think. But I treated it like cuboid syndrome/sprain and its lined out slowly ~ 4 weeks easy going. My chiro can adjusted it, but I never made it to see him.Gah. Looks like I will have to comment from the side lines for a little bit as I seem to have buggered up my left foot. I am waiting for a GP's appointment at the mo.
Did a long run on Sunday night and everything seemed fine as was Monday and Tuesday morning. Then on Tuesday afternoon the bottom of my foot started hurting next to the arch on the lateral side. Walking home that evening the pain got a lot worse and I had problems weight bearing.
It seems to have levelled out over the last few days and I haven't run since last Sunday. The symptoms are still there but at a lower level and I am limping a little. I sincerely hope its not PF. If it is I intend to be cautious and maintain my fitness through cycling for a while.
Bugger.

You are less than 2.5km of 1/2 way. You can easily catch that up. Especially since your last couple of runs have been so much longer than earlier ones. Don't be so hard on yourself - keep going!

Thanks @stoshew71 for the advice and the compliment. I decided to walk the doggie, stretch and do yard work. Hopefully the final lawn cutting of the year.0 -

What a day! I volunteered at the food table for a race this morning that my local running store + local Girls on the Run chapter put on, and let me tell you: volunteering at a food table for a TON of young kids and their parents is HARD WORK! It was cool to be on the other side of the event for a change, though (and next time I'll bring toe warmers because you get cold when you aren't running around!). After that, me and two of my teammates (who also volunteered) went to a local orchard and made a meal out of their Thanksgiving pie tasting (my top 3 of 11 I tried: strawberry rhubarb [which I ordered], lemon blueberry, and pecan). And then after THAT, I finally got my run in! Beautiful, breezy day for it, and my hamstring feels probably 90-95%, so if I keep doing my variety of bridges, I think I'll be 100% again by the time the marathon rolls around next Sunday.
So many good posts this weekend! Though I'm not diligent about replying to most, I am reading them all! Keep up the good work! And I wish you a speedy recovery, those who have been bit by the injury bug!

I think you are my running twin, born a few months later!
You are doing awesome! The time for a 10K is really good for the first time. My first outdoor 10K was at 13:42 (my first indoor one was 11:41--I am *way* faster on the treadmill. No hills.
). Recently I ran a 10K race at a little faster than the same pace I used to do it on the treadmill (although I normally keep my long runs around a 12-minute mile so i can go longer).
Anyway, yes, I've experienced that leg disconnect before...it usually proceeds being able to feel my legs in the most exquisitely painful way later, lol. The best sort of feeling is when you only notice the power in your legs, but they don't hurt or feel exhausted. I call those my 3rd mile legs, since it usually happens for me between 2.5-4 miles. After that, I start to feel the fatigue and by mile 6 or 7 I can feel my general strength waning (I think I need to experiment with a fueling food for runs that extend past this point).
I've never had a point where I felt light-headed, though. That doesn't sound good. Did you have water with you?
1/1 3.1 @ 11:15 outside in the neighborhood in the rain
11/2 rest
11/3 5.0 @ 10:59 on the treadmill (plus a 1 mile walk and strength training)
11/4 8.2 @ really really slow (16:04) riking (run-hiking, steep, covered with inches of leaves and treacherous fun)
11/5 4.0 @ 12:30 recovery run plus .5 walk on the park trail
11/6 3.25 @ 10:53 on the treadmill (really 3.0 at 10:28, plus .25 at a walk) plus strength training.
11/7 Rest/Life Day
11/8 Rest/Life Day
11/9 5.5 @ 12:30 on the park trail with the doggy--who really enjoyed rolling around in the leaves!
11/10 2.5 @ 11:38 (really 2.25 at 11:07 and a .25 walk) around the neighborhood in the rain.
11/11 6 @ 11:32 on the treadmill (really 5 at 11:00 and 1 at a fast walk/jog) plus strength training
11/12 7 @ 11:45 (this is really like 5 at 10:50 and the rest a little slower), plus 1 at a walk on the treadmill. I am in some pain...yesterday was squats and lunges and this may have been a little aggressive of a run for right after.
On the other hand, I did get to watch the entirety of "Bring It On". Where are my pompoms?!
11/13 2 @ 13ish walk/running the dog for my recovery run.
11/14 Rest day
11/15 4.5 @ 11:18 in the neighborhood--it was a gorgeous day for a run!

@9voice9 that is very impressive - way to go
@kristinegift very nice times and great pics
@Stoshew71 love the pics
@Virkati I love the feeling of my legs not being there and I can just keep going and going. I usually get this when I hit miles 4-6 and then fatigue will begin to set in again. Ditto on what Stoshew71 said about gatorade and water. I learned this the hard way also.
Nov 3 - 4.73 walking
Nov 5 - 7.00
Nov 6 - yoga and stretches
Nov 7 - family time
Nov 8 - family time
Nov 9 - 3.2

Nov 13 - 3.27 walk
Nov 15 - 5 - took our Shiatzu mix out on my run this morning. I was pleasantly surprised she never slowed down.

You deserve it!!! I remember when my goal was to run further than 3km.. Then I couldn't wait to run 5k... And when I did that.. I thought how great it would be to be able to run 5k three times a week... that's 15k a week!
Then I went for 7.5km... and thought, why wait? Running slow had helped me get that far in a very short time.. So on my next run I did 10km and loved every bit of it!
Slowing down lets you take it all in without puffing and wheezing and having to stop and walk the rest of the way
When I started I was running about 6:40 per k (too fast) and completely wiped out after 2-3km of running!
I slowed my pace to around 8:40 per km.. a bit hard at first to go 'slow and strong' but once I got used to it all of my runs were done at this pace easily.
Only on my last few runs I noticed my pace was down to 7:50 per km but it was easy (and unintentional - So that's a bonus!)
I'd like to think my body was adjusting well and becoming a little faster without me meaning to go faster 0 -

Currently in Nike Zoom Pegasus 32 though moving into Asics Gel Cumulus 16's soon as they are a better shoe for mileage and have most stability and arch support.
The Nike's have served me well, though didn't last very long - Only 3-4 months... After speaking to a few people they are not built for high mileage or support.. They are built to be a light and fast shoe and that is all.
Before the Nike's I wore Brooks DNA and they were pretty good - Just can't afford them at the moment lol

I find a short slow recovery run with loads of stretching thereafter the best way to deal with that post-race stiffness!0 -
Its been 6 looong days since my last run - Arg life happens. 7 km run with the running club today - a few new members showed up which we are always glad to see. It will be a struggle to meet my 140 km Goal as we are 1/2 way through the month and I am 20 km short of my planned runs. Limited catch up opportunities due to weather and limited Daylight hours.
Probably the last Trail run of the year as it started to snow at 11:00 am and forecast is for 10 cm ( 4 in ) which hides all the roots, ruts and ponds on the trails so its becomes a dangerous slippery slide on the bush trails. So what we call the Real Estate Running Season begins - Running through the streets around the neighbor hoods.
11/01 – 4.6 Km – 4.6km – 135.4 Km
11/03 – 5.6 Km – 10.2km – 129.8 Km
11/04 – 6.0 Km – 16.2km – 123.8 Km
11/06 –21.1 Km – 37.3km – 102.7 Km
11/08 – 5.0 Km – 42.3km – 107.7 Km
11/09 –10.0 Km – 52.3km – 97.7 Km
11/15 –7.0 Km – 59.3km – 90.7 Km – – YTD – 7 + 431.4 = 438.4Km
So many posts - Everyone is doing great thangs, @kareF is in the bleachers nursing her injury but cheering everyone on. Looking forward to when we see you back doing some slow/short distance runs to slowly work yourself back into the routine.0 -

I'll catch up in a bit, but in short the conditions were absolutely perfect for the las vegas half tonight. Cool weather, wind blowing hard at my back for most of the race, a touch of refreshing rain at mile 11, and very little humidity.
Lots of slow jacka**es ended up jumping up into corral #1 & #2 (out of about 50) to try to stretch out the 5 hour marathon time limit, so I ended up doing a 7:35 pace for my first mile running around lots of very slow runners. Once I got past them, I managed to maintain a 7 pace for the rest of the race and finished at 1:32:46.
Anyhow, off to enjoy some beer & sausage at hofbrauhaus before flying back early tomorrow.

Haven't run for a couple days .....but walked a boatload in Vegas.
@ohhim...will be at the kid Rock concert on far left side...sporting a Toyota red sponge victory sign....as passed out at the expo!
Bad news is, I found a great pair of mizunos at the expo,bent over to try them on....and have been in back pain ever since! 13.1 seems unattainable right now!...but they sure are snazzy!
congrats to all who ran....and banged gongs this weekend. Advil,wine and sleep are on my menu for tonite.
Tomorrow, I make a crepe and bacon breakfast for the whole famdamily who have come to watch me and sons fil run tomorrow.
Hey - apologies as I finally got online for the first time this weekend a few minutes ago... weekend in vegas with the guys has been pretty crazy as we've been doing lots of shows, fine dining, and other activities. I hope your back recovered in time as the conditions today were absolutely amazing and great for running a PR.0 -

thankfully things improved a bit and I managed to run
Friday I was pretty desperate, couldn't move and I thought I was not able to run in the weekend
Saturday I found out that the more I move, the better the leg is, after a painful start, it looks like it needs to warm up. So I managed to go for a nice 10km, have been very careful and ready to stop as soon as I was feeling something weird. I did enjoy it, even if it was a little bit painful. Before going, I was absolutely miserable and in very bad mood, I need to learn to manage that, because it will happen that I won't be running in the future. but I was so glad to be out!
26km on Sunday, not my usual 35 but better than nothing and almost pain free (after the usual painful start). didn't go to the usual park and run on as much flat route as I could, without many changes in directions (that are painful)
if I managed to warm up during the weekend, this morning was harder as I had to go asap - start was really really painful, then I was ok
but the weather is awful, it's extremely windy and it rains, it starts to be a real struggle to go out in these conditions, the wind is so powerful that it almost knocked me down a few times. and this drizzle/extreme dark clouds/darkness is not inspiring at all
not very positive for tomorrow, for both the leg and because I feel tired, but tomorrow is another day
great time! @kristinegift
and nice picture @Stoshew71 - you really look happy and enjoying what you are doing, and there is nothing better to me that that
congratulations to all that run this weekend as well, hope you all had really good runs

Did you ever figure out what was causing it? If I'm reading the symptoms correctly it sounds like what happened to me after a Half. I assumed it was cuboid syndrome or the boney notch on the outside irritating the peroneous longus ligament/ tendon ( can't remember which). That runs under that area. Basically a sprain I think. But I treated it like cuboid syndrome/sprain and its lined out slowly ~ 4 weeks easy going. My chiro can adjusted it, but I never made it to see him.Gah. Looks like I will have to comment from the side lines for a little bit as I seem to have buggered up my left foot. I am waiting for a GP's appointment at the mo.
Did a long run on Sunday night and everything seemed fine as was Monday and Tuesday morning. Then on Tuesday afternoon the bottom of my foot started hurting next to the arch on the lateral side. Walking home that evening the pain got a lot worse and I had problems weight bearing.
It seems to have levelled out over the last few days and I haven't run since last Sunday. The symptoms are still there but at a lower level and I am limping a little. I sincerely hope its not PF. If it is I intend to be cautious and maintain my fitness through cycling for a while.
Bugger.
Doc wasn't sure of the cause and said it could be a number of possible things including PF. It probably is peroneal tendon injury though.
I have been advised to do the usual things: rest, ice, heat, stretches, medication and if it doesn't get better in a couple of weeks to go back for another appointment.
It did get much better over the weekend with rest and the use of an insole but it is painful again today after my walk to work. I will see how it goes.0 -
