No one here will ever laugh at a run. Promise. I'm a newbie, so you can check my posts, for example, and then check the responses. Nothing but encouragement and support from this group. Good people here, every one.6 -

A run is a run, no matter how long or how short. There is no judgment here, whether you run 1km or 100km. This is a great group of people that will encourage you whatever distance you go.6 -

You went further than me. I went to get dressed thia morning realized how much I had to do and got to work around the house. Only had time for my strength training this afternoon.5 -
I wouldn't dare laugh! It takes a long time (at least it did for me) to build up to lots of miles, and even now I run in a month what some people run in a week! It's all about you and you doing the work to help you get better!5

Went for my regular run in super fog; it was a very humid 46 degrees. Just missed the pouring rain by about 15 minutes, thankfully. Would’ve been a great run if my damned hip flexor didn’t start tightening up on me near the end.
At least I was close to home. 6 -

Laugh? Are you kidding? No way will I (or anyone else for that matter) ever laugh at a run. You are more likely to laugh at me for turning up at the gym yesterday afternoon ready to do a treadmill workout, only to realise my gym kit was still sitting by the front door where I'd left it that morning. D'oh!5 -
Another 8.3 miles this am. I should have worn shorts as it was 45 degrees outside but I only slightly abandoned my winter garb.

ACK! Look at the weather prediction...
I thought this was February? Did I miss something?7 -
Signed up for yet another race. Just a short one though, so it won't require any changes to my training. I'll be across the street from the start line the day of the race anyway, so figured, "why not?".
Upcoming races:
3/4 Bieg Tropem Wilczym, 5889 meters (patriotic run in memory of anti-communist resistance fighters, distance comes from 3 loops of 1963 meters - 1963 being the year of the last casualty)
3/17 CityTrail 5k (Lublin)
3/18 CityTrail 5k (Warsaw)
4/8 Lublin 10k
5/13 Lublin Marathon8 -
Finally got my 2018 Run Calendar. Super motivated to fill it all up even if its just a couple of miles every day. My new motto as the calendar states..."You either ran today or you didnt"
And i did! 5.2mi closer to my goal. Slowly getting it done but at least im getting there.

2/20-7.1 miles ladder intervals
Today's scheduled run was ladder intervals, which I had to get done this morning. My legs do not like to run fast in the morning, so I was not looking forward to this one. I also wanted to run outside since it was 66F (Yeah, that's right. Mother Nature is paying us back for the *kitten* winter she threw at us). My neighborhood does not have too many flat places good for speed intervals, so I did the best I could on a loop in the neighborhood across the street. Despite being quite windy on the top of the ridge, it was a perfectly pleasant morning. Plan called for 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400, all at 7:20 pace. I managed to hit pace on all of them, although I ran the 400s closer to 7 min pace. I will definitely be doing some stick rolling at lunchtime, but other wise I feel great. Always great to start the day with a tough workout. Maybe that will give me the mojo I need to endure setting up my new laptop at work (ugh...IT people, how do you deal???)5 -

It is humid and warm here today as well. Thunderstorms over the next few days -- It looks like I will be dreadmilling it tomorrow.
