    Got in a final run this morning to meet my goal. I was pretty tired after spending the day at the hospital yesterday with hubby. He has a surgical procedure and is fine but I woke up tired. If it wasn't for this challenge and trying to meet my goal I probably wouldn't have run. Glad I did though.

    Hope you all have a great weekend and if you're racing I hope you kill it!

    I took an unscheduled rest day yesterday after the shiver/sweat episode Wednesday night. I could have run if I wanted to, but I am trying to embrace the whole "rest days are not a bad thing" attitude. And, honestly, my body has just been feeling a little beat up lately with the training, and the braces and being a week out from my remicade. I figured that the 7 or so miles I had planned on weren't really going to give me any benefit over a good solid day of rest. I didn't even feel guilty about it.

    As for 2017 goals, here are mine:

    1. Cross the finish line at Boston with a smile on my face. I have no intentions of trying to PR that race. I want it to be an enjoyable experience all the way around and I don't want that to be shadowed by any disappointment of not making goal, so as long as I finish, I will be happy. I will focus my training on making 26.2 as comfortable as possible, regardless of pace.
    2. Sign up for my local triathlon club. I'm getting older and, though I intend to keep running, I am starting to feel the effects of the miles. I think a more well-rounded fitness program is in order. Plus, I have always wanted to try a tri! Our local running store also sponsors the tri club and it appears to be a good one, with plenty of help for beginners.

    I'm gone a week and I'm 402 posts behind, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to catch up. On the plus side I survived Vegas and got my runs in (and Lord knows how many miles walking) and ended up with 107 miles for the month which beat my minimum of 100 and landed nicely in my 105-110 range. I just wish I had known I was so close to 110, I could have used the motivation and I would have pushed a little further.

    So it isn't official until it's my Mon-Sun mileage, but from Sat-Thursday (the last 6 days) I have finally done a 70 mile week (70.4 to be exact). Now I don't add my mileage OFFICIALLY Sat-Thursday, but it feels good to be able to add it all up for a 6 day total. Will be officially celebrating the 70 mile week on Sunday after I get my 30 weekend miles run :)

    Group run tonight in the drizzle, in the wind, in the dark... I'm sensing a theme here... yay fall? I really need to get a brighter headlamp though. Mine does next to nothing. Legs were tired, and I whined a lot, but honestly, having run a bajillion miles in 6 days I am not sore, I am not achy, I'm not even exhausted. I'm just happily fatigued. Very surprised. I expected that this kind of mileage would destroy my legs, but I'm feeling fine. That said though, I am excited to have a cutback next week when I visit home for Homecoming :)

    216 miles for September. A bit short of the goal, but when I scheduled September I expected to have bounced back from my calf injury before my race at Via. Since the 11th though, I've run every scheduled mile plus some, so I'm really pleased with this total. ON TO OCTOBER!

    Which was it? a bajillion miles or 70.4? :wink:
    That is so awesome. I can surely appreciate what that means and to do it bouncing back from a calf injury and race is super special. Congratulations.

    I would have the same attitude.

    End of month question for everyone. What changes, goals do you anticipate seeing in the next year running? Where would you like to be?

    - I'm going to join everyone who put "sub 2 hour HM on the list" - after 2:16 in May and 2:06 in September this year, that seems achieveable.

    - Getting faster in general, during regular runs. Everyone is always talking about having to slow down; but I realised that my default pace stayed more or less the same during the last two years, despite the fact that my PRs for all distances improved. If I shaved a few minutes of my 5k, 10k and HM PRs, shouldn't that mean that my easy pace gets a little faster as well? I think I'm just too used to running at the same pace after all this time...
    Stoshew71 wrote: »

    @_nikkiwolf_ Also, after running for 2 years, not only should you consider the above, but also consider adding some tempo and threshold training.

    When you reach a point in your training that you think adding mileage is no longer a goal, then introduce yourself with the bursts, the fartleks, and hill repeats. After you are comfortable with that and it is a part of your usual training, add a threshold run once and no more than twice a week. Keep in mind the 80/20 principal (yes I brought it up again) that 80% of your mpw is easy paced, 20% is the faster pace running.

    ^^ This got me so confused at first. I thought I was not supposed to do any speedwork, including the above, until I consistently run 30 mpw. So, I guess this is a "go" for trying out one of them say, once a week?

    @_nikkiwolf_ Not if you don't push it a bit, at least for me. Over the last months I was running at 6:00 min/km on my easy days even though my 5k went from 23:00 to 19:57. I'm still fine at 6:00 but my heart rate went from being 160 at that pace to 142 at the same speed. It's still easy but I can't really tell how much easier since it was easy. I can push it to about 5:20-5:30 min/km and keep my heart at 150-155 or so, which I did in the last weeks and it I'm starting to tune in on this new pace. It's still easy, only I'm faster. Like all change in training it requires some adjustment. When I switched my paces after a new PR the workouts feel weird and hard but in 1-2 weeks I'll get used to them

    Having hit 70+ a couple times this summer I know that feeling. There is a lot of time and effort to get to that number, good job.

    Awesome job @kristinegift -I have only hit 60+ a few times and I know how tired my legs were, so I can only imagine!

    @kristinegift Forgot to say earlier, that's amazing mileage. I'd have to take 2 of my running weeks to get to that number!

    I've been a bit delinquent in updating my log here, and when I tried to go back through all the post to find the last entry I gave up. I'll finish with 215 miles after this evening recovery run of 5 miles. This is short of my goal but i was feeling a little beat up a few weeks ago and started to taper a bit early. I thought things were great over the weekend with my Sunday long run but at about 15 miles my hip and glute on the right side tightened up pretty bad. I made it to 16.5 miles before stopping but I could tell that something wasn't right. I took it easy on Monday and did a bit of running on Tuesday and felt OK, Wednesday's 5 mile run felt OK and I took yesterday off due to life getting in the way. I did Thursdays run this morning which was scheduled to be a leg crushing 3x1 mile vo2max run totaling 8 miles but i knew it wouldn't be a good time to do that. Did a tempo run with 6 miles just a tad under what i'd consider my Half Marathon pace of 8:35-8:40. Felt good but on the cooldown i could tell that the hip was still a bit tender. I've got a couple easy runs this evening (5) and tomorrow (7 w 7x100 strides) then a 13 mile long run Sunday. If the hip is still talking to me after that run I might have to switch my entry to a Half, which would suck balls after 5 months of training averaging almost 60 miles a week.

    @5512bf -Oh no! That would suck after all of the hard training you have been doing. Is your race next weekend? Maybe one more week of super taper will get you feeling better. Fingers crossed for you!

    Also want to complete 50 parkruns and keep going. Am up to 42.

    Ooh, that one for me too. I'm only at 18 though so I have a lot more to do!

    @Elise4270 You are very right about the impossible being possible. Especially for you, there's so much that must feel impossible right now but I bet you look back in a year and are smashing more than you ever thought you could going from this position. But that's why running is awesome, it teaches us we are capable of more than we ever thought possible. Cliché, but true.

    @Stoshew71 Thanks for the link about speedwork for beginners, I'm going to try incorporating a bit of that starting after my HM this weekend.

    @5512bf That would be really upsetting if you can't race what you wanted to, so fingers crossed you recover quickly.

    @lporter229
    Race is next Sunday, frustrating part is training went very well, (4) 20+ long runs, 12, 14 & 16 mile pace runs, multiple fast finish long runs, etc. All indications were pointing to getting under that 4 hour mark fairly easily. Weird thing was that long run felt super easy cruising at 9:30-9:40 with HR still in Z2, then all of a sudden it wasn't so easy. *kitten* happens, there is always another day if it wasn't meant to be.

    9/30- finished up the month with another rest day (taper)

    Total mileage for the month: 93 out of goal of 90. Made it!

    I will have to do some calculation to come up with any kind of goal for October. My HM is on the 9th so I'll be tapering before and resting after so it won't be a big month at all.

    Upcoming races:
    9/18 CNY Bread Run Half, Fabius, NY (test run, long run with bling, not racing) 2:45:20
    10/9 Empire State Half Marathon, Syracuse NY (official first half marathon) 9 days left!
    11/13 Burn Run 5k or 10k, E. Syracuse NY (possibly - not signed up yet)
    11/24 Turkey Trot 5k, Cedar Rapids IA (signed up!)
    12/3 St. Nick Shuffle 5k, Syracuse NY
    1/22 Chilly Chili 5k, Cazenovia NY

    You're so very right. I do feel like everyday is impossible. But I know what I accomplished here in ~16 months. It wasn't easy. But I know it's possible. Just have to be willing to fight for the impossible. :wink: and that's what running has been about.

    No, go for it. I would only suggest not doing it if you are in the mileage build up phase for miles per week that you never achieved before. In that case I would suggest all mileage be easy except maybe some strides or bursts. And regardless you could do those strides or bursts up to twice a week. Hill repeats I would only perform once a week.

    September total – 114.22

    Nominal Challenge Goal – 200 miles
    Real Goals: Manage Rochester Marathon well as a race, recover quickly.

    Today's notes – Final report of the month. I basically missed all my monthly goals, as I did not manage Rochester well enough to finish, have not recovered quickly, and as a consequence am coming nowhere near the nominal monthly mileage goal.

    Today is Day 12 of No Running. I managed to jog up and down the hallway long enough for the eggs to cook. I think if my life depended on it, I could run a mile; but that would likely bang me up pretty bad and set me back quite a bit. So, no real run today. Maybe tomorrow, but probably not. I have two weeks to be ready to run 15K; that race could be a DNS, but I'm not ready to give up on it yet.

    2016 races:
    January 1, 2016 Resolution Run 7.5 mile (Mendon, NY) finished in 53:58
    January 9, 2016 Winter Warrior Half Marathon (Gates, NY) finished in 1:30:59

    Just an easy run for about 40 min. today. I kind of wanted that Distance challenge badge on Strava, but couldn't reach 200km (~125mi) GPS-tracked distance. Probably better that I rested anyway, since my first 10k race is tomorrow morning.

    9/1 6.3 miles
    9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast.

    I decided that wisdom was the better part of valor, and that trying to get 23 miles done on 4 back-to-back days in the week immediately after my first HM was probably not a good idea just so I could reach my triple digit mileage goal, lol. Finishing the month on a nice round number though, and it's still 2 more miles than last month, so there's that!

    This coming week I'll be starting my base mileage-building training plan, so I'm thinking when I calculate my October goal it should definitely hit at least 100 miles.

    Currently shopping around for a November race, not sure what distance I want, might be thinking of doing a 5k just to see where my speed is at.
