I was feeling a bit blah yesterday so I moved my 3 miles to today. Hopefully it doesn't affect my deadlifts this evening.

3.1 miles this morning. Tried out some new trail shoes - they guide me to bend a bit more in the ankle than I'm used to (but need to do), so I could feel it in my calves by mile 1. I think these shoes will be good for me in the long run but will take some getting used to

so far, best week in the last 2 months
first of all no more pain, super super happy
I made the mistake to listen to people and thinking I was overdoing, it was not normal to wake up at 4 to run etc, and that affected my commitment and morale.
But for me running is entertainment, an expression of freedom, a way to prove myself, something I enjoy, and this is simply how it will be. 430-630 in the morning is my time, and I'll enjoy it.
Happy also that pace is improving a lot as well.
I probably underestimated the recovery post marathon, I acknowledge that and it is a lesson learnt for the future.
didn't win a spot for Berlin

December total so far 13.31. Goal is 30. Pretty sure I can crush that goal before month's end!0 -
I don't get it. They want us to lose weight. They want us to improve our health. They want us to be active. And every doctor I see, tells me that what I'm doing to reach those goals, I shouldn't be doing. It's too hard on the body. I'm too old for that. I'm 52. I'm not too old for anything! Uggghh! Okay. I'm done venting.
LOL. I didn't start running till I was 55.0 -

December Running Totals (miles)
12/1- 6.58 (warmup, speed work, cool down)
12/2- extra rest day
12/3- 6.40 easy
12/4- 8.12 easy
12/5-15.00 long slow run
12/6-9.15 easy with hills
12/7- planned rest day
12/8- 8.29 easy
12/9- 6.00 easy
12/10- unscheduled rest day (plan was 6 miles)
Total- 59.54
Goal- none stated
Today's notes: I was up too late last night, and had a conference call for work last right till 5. Great running weather, but between lack of sleep and getting a poor jump out of work, the planned 6 miles didn't happen. Revised plan is to run my 6 tomorrow on what was originally the scheduled rest day. I have tomorrow off work, so I get the added advantage of being able to run in daylight.
Upcoming races:
Dec. 19, 2015 Reindeer Run 5K (Rochester, NY)
Jan. 9, 2016 Winter Warrior Half Marathon (Rochester, NY)
April 18, 2016 Boston Marathon (Hopkinton, MA)0 -
Was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with stress fractures in their feet. I have a tender spot that is mildly swollen and has a red spot.

Ran the first 3 mile loop with the thigh compression sleeve, then took it off for the 2nd loop. Took about a mile for the hamstring to realize it had to actually do work, but it stopped feeling weird and started feeling normal about 1.5 miles in! So I am going to take this as a sign that I can start building up mileage again and get back to running 4-5 days a week. Very exciting stuff! Plus, paced 8:15 between the two loops, and that's the fastest I've paced since I ran Philly 3-ish weeks ago, and it didn't feel exhausting, so I think race recovery is in the bag!
Upcoming races:
5/1/2016: New Jersey Marathon
6/12/2016: Run & Ride HM at Cedar Point

Gotta stop being such a slacker....between travel and just being lazy, I'm not getting a lot of days running in. Fortunately, I can at least run a few longer runs, for me anyway, to catch up for now. Gonna keep on going.

@Elise4270 I have had stress fractures, but they were closer to my toes and felt like some was pounding a nail into the top of my feet0

@afrench050612 That's terrific! Yay you! I did C25K and ran my first 5 km without stopping at parkrun on Saturday 5 December, and hope to do it again there tomorrow.
Are you using a 10K training app?0 -
