Yes I think @RespectTheKitty needs to start a new Thread Ugly Running Outfits to go along with the Shoe Thread. Great Job Embracing The Suck
. I could relate to every line in your post as I have been on similar runs. The worst run I ever had the wind changed direction 3 times in 50 minutes, it was in our face, on our front shoulder or back in our face. 0 -

I've tried out the aqua jogging twice now and it's definitely different than I thought it was going to be. I guess I always thought that aqua jogging was just running in the shallow end of the pool, but then when I watched some videos I thought that it looked a lot harder like treading water in the deep end while trying to run. Turns out, it's none of those things and actually feels a lot easier (like running in place, not struggling to keep my head above water) and it doesn't feel like it gets my heart rate up that much. So, I'll probably focus most of my aqua jogging workouts on doing speed intervals or ladder type workouts followed by regular lap swimming.
I feel like I say this every time, but I'm going to try to get caught up on the thread but I haven't really had any time to read any posts from the past few days and am already 6 pages and 100+ posts behind, so I make no promises.0 -
Registering for a second marathon is a great way to keep my mind off of my leg bugging me 4.5 months before my first.......1

As one of our drills in the adult swim club we would swim a distance and take our pulse. 25, 50, 75, 100m intervals. We were all surprised that our pulse was higher than we Felt it should have been. As one of my running/swim club friends said when she does a Sprint/Speed session on the Treadmill ( equivalent to a Sprint Ladder Drill in the pool ) she is spent and her HR is the same as in the Pool but she doesn't have the same spent feeling in the pool. The HR data indicates an equivalent WO but the general feeling is that the swim was easier.
@JessicaMcB 193.6/160km[/b] Way to destroy your goal. I know the last week has been tough so some running therapy always helps.1 -

Fabulous early morning run. I volunteer at a food pantry once a month, so I got up early to try and sneak my 18 miles in prior to that. After some delays with the dog and the tummy, I didn't get out until 6:45 and that wasn't going to give me enough time to get in the 18 I wanted, so I will be doing that tomorrow. However, this morning's run could not have been more perfect. Cold, but peaceful and pretty. I love running early on the weekends because nobody is up yet. I ran along the ridge across the road which gives distant views of downtown Cincinnati and fantastic sunrises. I actually took my phone for maybe the first time ever, but it quickly died (note to self: turn off Bluetooth connection to Garmin prior to running). I was kind of bummed because I could have gotten some great sunrise photos. Oh well, at least now I have time for a yummy homemade cappuccino and a nice long shower!2

However I did get a 50% discount code for the NJ Marathon, so guess what I'll be running for a third time this April? I needed an April race, so... I signed up for the full for $60 (~$40 off list price!) and will drop down to the HM if I'm not feeling the 26.2. I'll still keep Vermont City and Cleveland as back-up options at the end of May. I'll only do the full at NJM if I really think I have a great chance for a BQ, if not I will try for another HM PR.
And this being from the woman that swore off marathons from on out only a couple of months ago. Glad you're thinking about that BQ again.
@Stoshew71 Well I am following a Hanson plan, which is designed for marathons... so signing up for a marathon doesn't hurt. However I am currently going on hour four of procrastinating today's long run so I think I need to get my brain in the game before I can make any concrete goals!2 -
@orphia the pictures are beautiful
So the little annoying twinge I felt in my hip area has decided it's going to be intense pain every time I try to walk instead. WTF I'm at 60 miles for month which is way more than I've run in a few months. So I'll be happy and give my hip/leg whatever it is a few days rest.

Long-ish run this morning. Nice chatting session with a couple of women from my running group so it was enjoyable, but pretty slow. It was not as cold as I feared this morning, but was that kind of borderline where the number of layers you need is pretty debatable - and changes as you go.
This might be my last run for the month. I'm going to try to see if I can squeeze one in at the hotel tomorrow afternoon/evening (because I'm so close to 90 miles for the month!) but I know I won't have time during the rest of my trip. Unless I got up super early, which I guess is technically possible. Better see how much room I have in the bag for running clothes!0 -
