A little late but a Blog about surviving Winter Running. They don't get into clothing but do offer some advice that we tend to forget/neglect.
HM on Sunday so suffering a bad case of Taperitise.2 -
@BeeerRunner - we call that a 'Halti' over here (the gentle leader). Absolutely brilliant for any dog that pulls, as it gently pulls the nose down meaning the dog can't physically move forward. Some people think they are like muzzles but not at all. My sister has a version that pretty much tightens over the dogs nose, and I absolutely hate it. It doesn’t do the same job at all and when we had to walk her dog through a field of sheep he got increasingly stressed about it (and the sheep, he didn’t quite know what they were).
@Honunui – nice turtle, and lovely clear seas.
@greenolivetree – you’d be surprised what you can do in dreams….@juliet3455 no special cookies needed…….
@JessicaMcB so sorry to hear your latest news.2 -
So, I'm only gonna post this once or twice, but every year I do one big fundraising effort for the Wildlife Conservation Society, when I run in the Run for the Wild 5k at the Bronx Zoo (super fun race btw!). This year I'm running for cheetahs, because cheetahs are awesome! If anyone else likes supporting causes like this you can donate to the Wildlife Conservation Society through my fundraising page here: e.wcs.org/site/TR/Events/RunfortheWildTeamraiser?px=3337243&pg=personal&fr_id=1190
Again, not going to be pushy or anything, just figured I'd put this out there in case there was anyone else out there who might be interested! Otherwise, feel free to completely ignore! Lol

Ugh, so many people I know (including my mom now) have caught the stomach virus going around. So far I've been able to stay clear of it, but I have a feeling it's inevitable. I just hope it waits until after next week. I have important things happening next week. I also don't want to have to stop running because I'm sick.0

@HonuNui I am forever jealous of where you live and that you can see such beautiful ocean wildlife. Maybe someday I can visit the ocean again.

Bluff City 10k - 5/13/20171 -
2/1-5.2 miles +1 mile with Stella
2/2-1.2 miles with Stella +6.9 miles solo
2/3-1 mile with Stella+
I got lost with this thread overnight! 61 new posts! I have a busy work day, so sorry i won't be able to comment on them all!
I did a really sorry excuse for a mile with Stella this morning. She was in hyper-sniff mode. I think it took us about 15 minutes to get through 1 mile and a poop. I am still undecided if I will do my afternoon run today. I skipped my usual Friday speed work on the dreadmill because I have my 10K in the morning. That, coupled with my potential 20 miles on Sunday, have me thinking that taking it easy today with just some yoga might be the smart thing to do. I think I will leave that up to mother nature and see what the sunset looks like when I get off work. If it's pretty, then maybe I will do 3-4 slow and easy miles.

I had to skip my run last night. Too much work and not enough sleep. I can't run tonight because I'm taking my wife out for her birthday. I'm looking at a 20+ mile run Saturday though, so I have that to look forward too.5

Had a brief walk break in the morning and then had a really good walk at lunch. I hit a new PR for walking with a 15:07 mile. I usually am more in the 16-16:30 range. I guess the cold was making me move faster.
It's not even 2pm and I'm already at over 12,000 steps. Woohoo!

They also have some earrings that I totally would have ordered right away, but those I couldn't find on eBay or anywhere else. Probably a good thing for my bank account
@RespectTheKitty Congrats on the great walking PR!
@KatieJane83 You are right, cheetahs are awesome! It's crazy how fast they can run.

Good point @RespectTheKitty ! Even if one doesn't run at all, this is a great site to visit just to see the terrific photos.
I have got to work the next 2 nights (12 + hour shifts). Next run planned for Super Bowl Sunday...I hope to be able to run outside this weekend.0
