7:00 PM TUE Sunny 69° 69° 0% 45% N 8 mph
This evening looks to be pleasant for running I've been doing 1 mile walk, 1 mile run, 1 mile walk, but I think I'll increase the running to 1.5 now and drop the walking to 1.5 and see how that goes.
@midwesterner85 I hope the ankle isn't a big problem.
@WandaVaughn I hear ya on the Mondayest Tuesday4 -

I got up and got in 2.5mi before the sun came up this morning. I don't typically like mornings, but it has been hot and humid lately and if I start once the sun is up it is miserable. Plus I have twin boys to get ready and to school in the mornings. I tried (tried being the best word I can think of at the moment) to put in a little bit of extra mileage on Sunday. The kids wanted to go to the park so I had to wait on the whole family to get ready. What I thought I was running was a loop and what I ended up running was a out and back that ended up being 4 miles. Well, the total trail is 2.75 each side. I realized I was not on the loop at 1.75 miles into the run. LOL. I did walk some because it really was so very hot. And when I got back, everyone was in the truck because Sean got stung by a wasp. And then I got stung yesterday when doing yard work. Man, that hurt. Got it right on my hand. I still feels like someone took a hammer to the back of my hand and I can't make a fist. We finished off our long weekend playing laser tag with the boys. That was blast (unintentional joke.) We are supposed to be getting a cold front tonight, so hopefully the temps will go back down. 73 degrees at 530 is still a little warm.
I finally got through the last 5 pages this morning after being busy this weekend and not catching up. I love that we have so many awesome people here.1 -
Hello, all. I've been lurking for about 3 weeks now & have finally decided to jump with a small goal for September. I'm just returning to running after a 4.5 year break (the reason for that break is a story for another day). My 17-year-old daughter (today's her birthday!) and I have been doing C25K together along with an overall healthy lifestyle improvement plan. We will start week 8 tomorrow evening. She's my motivation and my reason to get back to running, lose some weight & just generally work on being a more healthy me. I'm so very proud of both of us.
Our only goal at this point after we finish C25K is a trail 5k on October 21. We've got to work on something to do in the weeks before that.
So, with all of that said, I'll go with a modest goal of 30 miles this month.

@skippygirlsmom pace on the downhills was >9:00, so not super fast. I don't know why I was holding back, I know I can hit sub-6 pace on the hills.
@klovold1983 awesome! I'm about 50 miles from you, almost due north.0 -

Only 50 miles? Heck if you both run towards each other you could meet for a drink some place in the middle and have run-off any calories you might possibly consume.

Traveling for work this week. Been at it since 4AM. It's now 5PM and I just arrived at my hotel. Lots of stressful crap happened in those thirteen hours so I am really going to have to talk myself into this run rather than taking a nap. I just had two days rest after my night race on Saturday, so I know I need to do it. I am in a beautiful mountainous part of Virginia but it is raining so I might just be lazy and Hit the treadmill. Ugh...3

I'm not sure what to set my September goal at. I think I'll try and do as much as I can without stressing over whether I'll reach my target. All 3.50k walks are to/from work to my car. The carpark I used to use has increased the charges by £15 to £50 a month. I think I'd rather walk the extra 5 mins although I may regret that when it's cold, wet and dark.
1 Sept 2.85km run 3.50k walk
2 Sept NONE
3 Sept 5k
4 Sept no run but 3.50k walk
5 Sept PT session and 3.50k walk = 18.85k to date2 -

Non-running check in: PT visit today. Homework includes a balance exercise, 10-count of balancing on one foot, raised to the toes. It's like a calf raise, only without the weight, without the step, and I'm supposed to learn to do it without touching anything for balance. The goal is to strengthen the PTT.
Did 10 minutes of exercycle at the PT, but it was rainy enough that I didn't get out to bike on the roads. I'm a weather wimp when it comes to cycling; the weather was plenty good enough to run in, if I were able to run today.
And @PastorVincent did a fine job of convincing me to buy the 2nd Mistborn trilogy. I read the first trilogy some time ago; IIRC, I had to wait for Hero of the Ages to be published in mass market paperback. This time, I have the luxury of getting all three at once. No audio books for me; when I'm able to run again, the fiction reading will slow down a lot.6 -
9/1 13.1 miles! 2h:09m:49s
9/2 3.1mi 31m:56s
9/3 rest
9/4 4.38mi 41m:07s
9/5 6mi 57m:38s
Now that my kids are back in school my running schedule is shifted. No more early morning runs. Now I'm running after I drop the kids at school. I know it'll be good once the weather is cooler, but it felt quite warm at 8:30am.
4 miles tomorrow, my first week of running 6 days... normally Wednesday is a rest day. It might end up being on the treadmill since the forecast is thunderstorms.1
