Trying to decide if I should map out another mile for tomorrow's run, just in case.....I've averaged 10:33 over my last 5 long runs, (7-10 miles), and with the time limit on the run scheduled for tomorrow (2:15:00) I could average 11:57 and make the time limit with the 11.2 miles I have mapped out.....so, I'm kind of tempted to add another mile on the end, just in case I'm feeling it......1

@Lord007 Great running!1

So I've been too busy over the past couple days to check in, but I just made it through all 256 intervening posts. Holy crap...you guys are all amazing. I'm a little too overwhelmed to post any individual comments, but to those rehabbing or facing surgery, I wish you a speedy recovery, and to those who have achieved personal bests, congratulations!
I did get in a 4 mile run at dawn on Tuesday and Thursday this week, as per my schedule, so that makes 58 total miles towards my May goal of 60. Since tomorrow is my long run and I'll still have Tuesday next week, I should probably revise that goal to 72. (Done!)
Happy running, y'all!5 -

Just finished my last c25k run! I have officially graduated!
In 30 minutes, I can run 2.25 miles, at least on the treadmill. I can probably go a little farther outdoors, but I will test that theory over the weekend. So I need to work on getting up to 3 miles, which is what I will be doing for the next couple weeks. After that, it's time to work on 10k.

all the discussion on biking makes me really want to bike! haven't been on one in 11 years
new york is the worst city to drive and bike in, imho.... 0 -
45 min low impact cardio this morning. Other than that, scrubbed floors and this dreary weather has killed my interest in being outside. But who knows. I may still jump on the bike this evening.
Ordered the 12oz version of @WhatMeRunning's water bottle and it's already shipped from amazon/third party. Woohoo! I had a $10 amazon card (coke points - because I'm a diet coke addict) so $14 instead of $24 helped me bite the bullet and order.
Highly considering a trail run in the morning.

Rest day today. While I'm still not sure how long it will take to get into race shape, I broke down and registered for another race. I've got to be in shape to run a 10K by Thanksgiving Day, right?
Anyway, Race with Grace is a must-run on my calendar. Even if I have to walk it, I'm going back for my 6th year. A 10K Thanksgiving morning is the best Thanksgiving Day tradition I have. And I didn't want to take a chance on not getting in early enough to get a tech shirt instead of cotton.5 -

But there are so many bike paths in NYC... Sure riding in the street is scary (omg) but I was really pleasantly surprised by how far I could go just on paths.

I've been shocked when I visit my daughter in Manhattan how many ride in the streets... like right along with the traffic. I don't think I could do that!
