Runners- share your run!

I gave up on running the past couple days because I just don't have the proper clothing. I have been flirting with the margins of safety with temps down into the teens. Last couple days though it has been single digits with windchills in the negative teens. Oh well, I've been pushing pretty hard and my legs need some recovery time. Hit the gym today for a lower body and some elliptical work. Tomorrow is planned for an upper body gym workout, then back to running on Wednesday.

3 miles yesterday, 7:55 min/mile pace, I'm currently on a streak of 16 days (either cycling or running) and beginning to feel it now. But stopping feels like failure?!!

stopping feels like.....resting those muscles so you can go faster and better when you are active again...

I'm still a very beginner runner and have stopped and started a couple of time over the last few months. I've been bouncing back and forth between week 1 and 2 of the app is use that's similar to C25K. Did my first cold weather run today (I'm a reptile, so dressing warm enough without being too warm is proving challenging....I barely got warm enough today). My stupid phone died a third of the way in, so I was counting my minutes in my head

Just stay with it, my worse weeks for C25K were week 2-3. Just have to work through it, it will become easier as time goes by. Don't stop. Mind over body, get into a good routine and stick with it. No matter what the weather is, prepare for it and run. I ran in pouring rain one day and came back wet as a rat but I ran. Just stay with it and you will see the results. Good luck

Cruised thru a wonderful 10K run this afternoon. The weather was perfect and I felt like I could go forever. 55:46 Heading to South America for work tomorrow. Just planning an easy 4 miles for the morning before my long night.

5K yesterday. Just arrived in Argentina for work. Going to take a nap and hit the pool for some laps. 87 degrees today.

Did the local Xmas Day Parkrun yesterday and scored myself an additional Xmas prezzie.

19mins32secs!

First ever time under 20 mins!

I assume the Parkrun was a 5k? Great time if so.

I enjoyed a nice easy 7 miles through town.

Yep it was. Free 5k runs organised all over the world every saturday morning. Did one on Xmas eve also which was far slower but way more fun as it was the GF's first proper run back from injury since around May time. Loved every minute of it with her.

I planned for a 6 miler today, but the result of several days of serious over-eating was that I felt bloated, stiff and slow. To make matter worse I had a "bathroom emergency" but was barely able to get back home so I only finished 4.6

Taking a few days off from running and eating tons of crap sure was fun but I can really feel the results.

Yeah silver..I feel the same way when I am on the treadmill at the gym with other people around me and don't want to let the gas flow.

Yesterday I was out on the trail for 6km recovery run after my long run on Sunday. Day two of my current marathon plan.

I managed to skid on the mud, 3km out and just before my turnaround point. So a walk back to the car and then a visit to the hospital to get it checked out.

Not broken, and likely to be the ligaments in my right ankle.

So I may have to wind down from the Marathon in March if I'm uncertain about getting the mileage in. There are 20 mile, HM and 10 mile options.

Irritated doesn't quite capture it.

89 degrees F in my neck of the woods, so only managed a 4km run and 1km walk. Getting cooler in the coming days well in the mornings that is, so can get a decent run in then.

Chilly day today, so I decided to do a leisurely 10k and try out the sweet new running gear I got for Christmas. I was given a pair of capris and as I normally wear shorts, I thought I'd give them a trial run before my first 10k race of the year in January. Happy to say they passed muster, and kept me toasty and warm. Not so impressed about the fact I took a wrong turn which added another 1.3 miles onto my route. Ah well, I'm planning on a half marathon at the end of the year so I need to start building up the miles anyway.

Did 5 miles yesterday and was overdressed for the temperatures. Tonight I am on the road for work so I did a treadmill workout. I did the 3 mile USMC Physical Fitness Test and scored 76pts for doing the 3 mile run in 24:58. Did .75 to warm up and .75 to cool down, so 4.5 in total. Tomorrow is a very long work day; coincidentally it is also my rest day. YAY!

4.2 miles at 7 degrees...perfect running weather! I'm working on upping my volume and thinking about training up for a 10K.

Now thats commitment! Well done!

Didn't run today or yesterday as I've been attacked by a nasty cold with a fever. On The 1st I did a 10K in 54 and then a 4 miler on the second. Felt awful during the 4 miler as I was starting to get sick. Came back drenched in sweat, sore everything. Took a shower and ate some dinner. Fever of 101. Feeling better tonight so hopefully I'll be back in my sneakers tomorrow. Today was a rest day so if I can make it thru my 5 miler tomorrow, I'll only have missed 1 run. Happy New Year everyone!
