March 2017 Running Challenge

Looking back through performance data on Sport Tracks, I see a very similar pattern from when I picked running up again in January 2016 after an extended period of burnout (i.e. not running) after my 3 fall 2015 full marathons (my mind completely blocked that period of time it seems). After a couple weeks of 1 to 4 miles per run I was able to ramp up in the next weeks with 8-10 mile long runs and 3-4 miles on other runs. So if I do indeed feel strong at the end of this week and decide to target higher mileage on my Saturday run, I may gun for 8 miles. I sure hope I'm not crazy. It seems intense, and maybe too fast, but I know how I've felt and seen the performance results this week, and now I see a past performance to compare it to. Plus, that period led into my best mileage and performance to date during last spring, making it tempting to mimic those results. Should be an interesting few weeks ahead for me.5

Not sure if it was shared in here yet.

I took a self-defense class about a year ago. But I feel like we should take them every year or two, like CPR!

Wonder if that helps with bears as well1 -

Anyone know of any virtual races with bling?
I've done 8 HMs and only got bling for one of them, but I think I might like to get something as a memento for the 30 km I'm planning to do on my own soon.
Do you like pie? No, not that pie, the 3.14.... kind of pi.

You intentionally got my hopes up Stan. I thought we all were having pie! Maybe there pie at the finish line?1 -
Is it fitness pie?5

My very first race was "Run 3.14 Pie." I got a frozen pumpkin pie for swag. It was a crummy pie, but I'd run for pie, again. Probably have to buy my own pie - but it's cheaper than a race registration, anyway.2 -

@iofred - Yeah, I don't think I would try it on a bear! What everyone around here says with the brown bears here we are supposed to put our arms up straight in the air to appear taller than the bear. When I saw one on my run I just froze - there was no hands up!
@dpwellman - Luckily mine is not too bad! She drives me crazy but compared to other people I have heard about she isn't too bad.
Decided to take a rest day today due to the stress of a friend having a heart attack (completely unexpected). She's going to be okay, thank goodness. I'm just so shocked .. she just got over a super bug and isn't really 100% and now this. She's in shape - eats healthy and was a runner for many years but after adopting a little girl 5 years ago hasn't had much time to run/exercise. So... just drove right past gym and home. As I look at my month I guess I'm due for one anyway. I have a lot of grading to do anyway, so I can get it done earlier than I would have.

@ddmom0811 - Saw that and was about to share as well. Scary, but good for her!!! "Not today, MF!" And we should definitely take regular training.
@Stoshew71 - Mmm, pie. Time to go sign up for my first virtual 5K!
For today, though...
Set out on my lunch break to begin work on elongating runs, only to feel some twinges in my shins that made me stop after 1.23M. (And at an abysmal 15+min pace.) Don't know whether the pain is residual from Saturday's race? Or a reaction to slogging through boggy wet grass and mud? Or....? Disappointing, but I'd rather stop and rest up some more than risk full-on splints.

You ever hear za referred to as pie in the south? Confuses 'em!3 -
@ddmom0811 no running High, my comment was just objective and based on facts.
Felt awful after the 20miles run yesterday. Today my bike took me to a 50km ride, i managed to relax my muscles and I feel much better now. Nice day, sunny and hot, wanted to ride for just 20-30k but then the bike took me farer.
Tomorrow usual 9 miles. 2 weeks to marathon. Better morale. Nice week end planned. Back and leg must be better, or I'm *kitten* up for the marathon4 -
@Stoshew71 I believe I have demonstrated pizza relieves a balky knee.
@ddmom0811 I don't have any inlaws currently, but I used to. I can't take credit for re-purposing a punch line from a very old joke.
@lennyt91 I don't think I've seen one of those in 20-some odd years.3 -
@lporter229 a video came up in my fb feed after posting about Reynaud's (I hate the way everything gets connected). Anyway, this suggested the way to warm your fingers is to warm your wrists. Yes, they were selling wrist warmers, but it's an idea worth testing out.
Thanks for the info on dry needle therapy. I've had acupuncture, but I'm quite into Chinese medicine/daoist theories anyway so the background worked for me.1 -

Treadmill run this morning again. Temps are starting to go up but then we're expecting a bunch of snow starting tonight so we'll see if the rest of the week is all indoors too.4 -
