@MNLittleFinn Is there a reason you'd have to stop there mid-run rather than visit the store when you're not running already?0 -
Happy February! Going to head to the gym in a few to get my first workout of the month in but I'm exhausted from a crazy day at work, so it might not be too much.
@MNLittleFinn Glad to hear your shin pain is basically gone. Tomorrow will be a PT/rest day for me as well.
@Orphia Another stunning photo! Your part of Australia seems to be a beautiful place to run (and snap pics).
@garygse What a coincidence! Hope you enjoy your new group runs.
Welcome to all the newcomers as well!

Yipes it's only the 1st and I'm behind 3 pages. Work is trying to kill me, don't they know I don't do 12 hour days!
My hip feels like I can give running a try. I have one more day awful meetings.

@MNLittleFinn - Is it emotionally important to you that you keep moving for the entire marathon, or are you okay with taking breaks at water stops and potentially port-a-potties? If you want to keep moving, you train continual runs. If you're okay with short breaks, short breaks in your long run are okay too. FWIW, the training program I pace for structures the long runs as loops. There is frequently a break (usually at a running store) between the first loop when the half marathon trainees are done and the second loop that the marathon trainees run to complete their mileage. Sometimes a group agrees to keep running with no break between segments, and sometimes there needs to be a rest room break for multiple runners.
FWIW, the first time I ran 20 miles in a day it went like, 2.3 mile warm up; pause; 15K race; pause; 4 easy miles while waiting for the awards ceremony; extended pause for post-race food & awards, drive home; and finish the 20 miles with a run starting from my driveway because I'm already dressed to run. That was harder than any other 20 mile day I've done, and harder than some 22 mile days.
@skippygirlsmom - Work tried to kill me too, but they gave me 6 months warning that I was going to die trying to work and train for Boston. Fortunately, it only took me 2 months from that point to retire. A couple weeks ago I declined a second opportunity to do consultant work for my former employer. The work wouldn't be all that bad, it just happens to fall in the middle of tax season and Boston training, and my time is committed.5 -
1 FEB: 2 miles on TM at home
Woot! I'm running again!8 -
First run of February = 6.3 miles.
Since I started the new medication, I have noticed that my muscles fatigue easier. Not sure why this is, but I have to watch my pace so that I don't overdo it. After today's six miles, my legs feel like I've run ten. I also got some cramping in my right glute during the run, something I've never had happen before.
I'm hoping I can still put in a few longer runs from time to time, but the way things are going with my leg muscles, I might have to be more conservative. We shall see.5 -

On the treadmill tonight I learned, the hard way, that there is nothing good on TV for the half hour after 'Jeopardy!'3 -

Hey all! Recently resumed distance running. After 1/2 year off. Not sure how many mi I'll rack up this month. So I'll say 100mi for now. Likely more. Signed up for 2 races yesterday. Doesn't count, but I ran a nice 7mi mountain with 2,070ft vertical gain yesterday. Planning on 6-10+mi (trail) tomorrow.
2/1 - 60min boring gym cardio
Total: 0/100mi
Upcoming races
2/25: Blood Sweat and Beers 10k (mtn)
4/29: REVEL Mt Charleston (HM)10 -

6.3 miles @ 9:35
12F w/ 10mph winds = -1F windchill
It was a great, easy run but I could feel the hills from last night in my quads. I took another spill on the ice, my third of the season. I have a bump on my knee and a sore wrist, but nothing that will slow me down. All in all a good start to the month.
