1/1 5.6 miles—street run given the snow and ice on sidewalks. excellent run at 25 F.
1/2 elliptical day, no run
1/3 10.2 — excellent run, slow pace 11:45. But pain in the heels and achilles afterwards. got better with ice treatment!
1/4 elliptical day, no run
1/5 rest day
1/6 6.5 — ran in 28 degree weather. starting to feel 30 degree weather might be pushing it too warm for comfort
My heels, which bothered me after my last run (stretched, iced, and rested) held up quite nicely during today’s run. i guess i should just recognize that every time i push myself a bit more on distance or on speed, i should expect some pain if not planned well enough and if not done in a gradual way.
1/7 3.64 — the run was okay at 10:30 per mile, but the roads were slippery because of some freezing rain. icing helps a great deal with the pain. I still have some pain in my achilles, but doing much better everyday. I took it easy though.
1/9 6.11 —nice group run while snowing lightly!
1/10 crosstraining—elliptical
1/11 4.31 — 6 degree weather @10:50
1/12 crosstraining—elliptical
36.36/70
ps notice the 36 and 36! a powerball sign?

@Virkati - So glad you are feeling better! We drive thru and typically stay in Medford on our way from California to see our daughter in Seattle. Your daughter's pup is SO cute! I bet he would love going for a walk or a run with you! I love Oregon too. Having grown up in Idaho we spent lots of time in Oregon camping and hiking. I am thinking it could be a good place to retire. As far as a running partner is concerned - training is required even if it is just leash training and basic commands and of course if you travel a lot there is always the consideration of who takes care of the pup while you are gone. On the other hand I miss mine when I don't have him to run with me, it just feels weird. He makes me feel safe and I just love having him with me. He is definitely the best running partner! I did however pick him because I wanted him to run with me.
@moyer566 - I think you need to run that race before, during or after the wedding I am sure your fiance would understand, right? It would only be 38 miles on your wedding night! I LOVE that shirt! So cute!!

Actually, we were planning on screwing our shoes. We would only nail them if the first few screwings were satisfying and left us wanting more.runner_girl83 wrote: »May have scared them with the nailing shoes topic... j/k
The group is definitely out of control, but so much fun! @7lenny7 - I hope you and your shoes recover from the screwing experience! @Elise4270 - I will get my order in tomorrow I promise! Are we close to the 25 order minimum yet?^^^ah hahahahah! @5BeautifulDays . Stan your group is out of control! Enough screwing around...
Thanks for all the addresses. I'll organize the order list (from what you told me you ordered) and put it out so errors can be addressed before they ship to you.
I have 8 envelopes left over. So, get a shirt!
Here is the order form:

@Stoshew71 if you order a shirt I won't send you money if you REALLY don't want me too. I can sent it to Skip, cuz she's awesome.
I went out for a run between meetings... finally just walked away from the phone, emails and text messages - as the old commercials used to say I 'had to get away'! It was a short run, cool and beautiful out. A picture from my run - it is days like this that I love California!
Not sure what was up with MapMyRun - said my distance was almost double what it actually was and that I ran 6 minute miles! I wish!!

3.4 miles today, my longest distance yet! 16.9 miles so far this month. My pace is really slow, usually around 12.10 minute miles. I'm new to running so don't really know much about it. Is now a good time to do shorter distances and try to increase my pace? Any advice would be much appreciated 0

Okay, no way I can catch up with these posts! 167 to read. You'd think since I was sick and not running I would have had time to read them all. Slacker. I finally ran after work yesterday (instead of my usual 4:30am run) because Florida temps are so nice right now. It was just .... amazing! Perfect 60 degrees, sunny, if there was humidity I couldn't tell, wanted to go much longer but trying to not push myself since still coughing some.

Trying to catch up on the posts and just saw @shanaber picture of where you run. Wow! I don't think I could ever go back home if that was my view running!
Happy that most of the posts I missed were related to screwing shoes. I don't think I can add to that conversation other than you guys crack me up. LOL.0 -

Hello Everyone! Just joining the challenge today and wondering why I have never seen this group before. I am an avid runner and usually run at least 4-5 days per week. Last October 2015 I ran my first marathon! After a year full of training (ran my fastest half in May and then the full in October), I decided this year will be my year off from marathon training. I will do other races, just not a full. Running a full marathon was an awesome experience. I learned so much about myself and what I am capable of. It was very rewarding! But it took a ton of time to devout to training. I have 3 kids that keep me pretty busy so training was difficult at times.
This year I along with my usual running, weight training, etc. I decided to do a fitness bucket list item for each month. This month was cross country skiing... which I completed already and was tons of fun! I may throw a triathlon in there this year, still not sure on that one.
Glad to be in a community of running lovers!

Yes. It's an DIY alternative to YakTrax basically. Here's some instructions. http://skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htmrunner_girl83 wrote: »With all this discussion I had to do it. I put screws in my shoes. It doesn't seem to work too well, though. I cant' lift them off the floor now. I must have done something wrong.
Hahaha.. you screwed them to the floor Okay, okay.. So all this laughing aside now.. Are the screws meant to give you better traction in the snow so you don't slip?
@shanaber - Gorgeous view! If that doesn't get people outside to run, I don't know what would.
@kateparry84 - Since you're new to running the best advice to is not worry about pace and keep things slow. Focus on running further and building up a good mileage base. Be careful not to build on too many miles too quickly. A good rule of thumb is to limit mileage increases to 10% each week (total miles for the week). The goal of all of this is to build up strength in your muscles, tendons and bones to support your running. (running fast will stress those and lead to injury if you do not strengthen them first). Also you will build up your aerobic system as you are able to keep running further, and will also create physical changes in your muscle to cause oxygen to reach your muscles more efficiently over time allowing you to keep going with less fatigue. That's a short overview, there is much more, but starting out just focus on increasing distance.
@runner4life08 - Welcome! I too am coming off the year I ran my first marathon (ran 3 actually) and am not focusing on that distance this year. I gained weight and wish to lose that weight plus some more, so I'm running shorter distances and focusing on increasing pace, doing strength training, and actually limiting my food intake (no longer the bottomless pit I was during marathon training).
Today's a strength day for me, so no running. My plan now shifts to some form of exercise 13 of every 14 days, alternating days between running and strength. The runs will be a mix of speedwork, stamina, long runs and even a sprint effort once every other week (based on McMillan definitions). Should be interesting. I really need those long runs now so I can build up the endurance at the new paces I've been working at. I never thought I would like these intervals and tempo runs as much as I do now. I used to dread those things. I guess it just took some dedication to them without distractions of long runs to learn to appreciate them.0 -

Having a dog has meant adding in one more layer of complexity to an already complicated life, especially when it comes to travel. And because our dog is a rescue with a dicey past, we've also had to learn to deal with some *really* challenging behaviors as well.
Try having seven! We started out with just a pekingese and a mini german shepherd/husky mix. Rescued a second peke and another GSD (this one full blood and full sized). Lost our first rescue peke (she was about 15 when we rescued her and had heartworms) and rescued another to replace her.
Four was a little much, but doable. Over the past 2 years, we've added on three strays--a dachshund, a pit mix, and a malamute. Part of the joy of living in a rural area is that everyone dumps their unwanted dogs, and it's pretty much impossible to get them rehomed quickly. We always end up spending too much time trying to find the owners, then are too attached to give them away to a stranger.
They all get along, and we can afford to feed them and enjoy snuggling on the couch with them in the evenings. It just makes travel impossible, because I can't afford $200/day in boarding.

Got some new Saucony hydralite tops (that actually fit, since I shrunk outta the other ones!) and wanted to treadmill run just because I like these tops so much for treadmill running. I used my Garmin to track distance, because I had done this at home on my parents' treadmill, and it only was off by about .02 per mile. But OH BOY, was there a discrepancy today at my apartment gym!! Garmin was off by about .1 per mile, so I either paced 8:07 for 4 miles according to the treadmill or 8:56 according to my watch. My watch definitely was not keeping up though because I changed the mph from 8.0 to 8.5 and got almost the same quarter mile split... which is impossible. I think the treadmill time is definitely more accurate than the Garmin time; there's no way my last mile was 8:30 when I spent 3 mins between 8.0 and 9.0 mph (7:30 and 6:40 mile pace), and only went back down to 7.0 for a quarter mile (8:34 pace). I think really I paced somewhere in between and ran something a little over 4. Oh well. More motivation to keep on truckin' outside!
Joining the Wednesday night group run tonight with my Thursday night running store. They always do the Wednesday runs, but I've never gone since I usually run Wed mornings. But now that I'm doing 2 runs on Wednesdays, I can make it to the evening run! Hooray!
Upcoming races:
4/3: Caesar Rodney HM

6/12: Race and Ride Cedar Point HM (maybe)

Congrats on the distance PR. To answer your question, no, you do not want to worry about trying to increase your pace. Right now you are trying to build an aerobic base and the best way to do this is to run more miles. Just keep running at a nice, easy pace and your speed will automatically get faster.0 -

Trust me, I'm a grad student, so I'm broke as all get out. But the Hydralite tanks and short sleeves are super on sale in certain sizes/colors. I got the tank for like $4 and the shirt for I think $5 or $6. I spend bottom dollar for my running apparel these days!0 -

I still want to buy it.
I get roped in by deals and the excitement of finding bargains. When I got my shoes super on sale I then thought, "Hmm. What other shoes can I find at outrageous prices?" I almost bought another pair of shoes (different model) for $70 before I remembered: "YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY. STOP IT." So I deleted them from my cart. Sometimes I forget that online shopping isn't a game, and it costs me real dollars. Oops.0 -
@Stoshew71, @7lenny7, @WhatMeRunning, @Elise4270, @kristinegift, @juliet3455 - Thanks for the input about cleats / screw shoes. Still trying to decide what to do...quickly getting frustrated with treadmill and the indoor track I like may be less of a weekday option soon.
@kristinegift - Wow! Rides are my favorite shoe...I couldn't snag the deal you did though
@7lenny7 - That group sounds fantastic! Enjoy! And, you did something very wrong...or maybe so wrong it's right!
I loves my running shoes! I might screw them, but I would never consider nailing them! They deserve better than that.

1/12 - Life got in the way - sick children, work issues, etc. - Ick!
1/13 - Woke up with a head like concrete...stupid sinuses! Hoping to feel better enough to squeeze in a rare late afternoon run today.
Way to kill it everyone!

Almost halfway there!
Does anyone else here use a fitbit (specifically the surge)? I am feeling a little discouraged because of how inaccurate it is. I've been comparing it to the treadmills mileage and it can be as far as half a mile off. This morning I did a tempo run, so I started off at a gentle jog at 6.0mph for about 5 minutes and maxed out at 7.0mph for 15 minutes then ran until I hit 3.2 miles at 6.0mph. This pace was much faster than yesterdays (I only maxed out at 6.3mph for a few minutes, most of the run was 5.5mph) but the fitbit actually shows my pace decreasing from yesterday. When I run at 6.0mph on the treadmill, I don't reach the mile marker on my fitbit until 11-12minutes and it seems the faster I run, the slower my pace gets?!
Does anyone else have this problem?0
