Intervals today. I was dreading them because I didn’t think I could do it, but I did it and my pace was even faster then it was supposed to be! I was glad when it was done though!! This week starts tapering for the shamrock race.

@7lenny7 That looks like quite the epic race! I am afraid that is what my 50K in 3.5 weeks is going to look like.... I water walked and did my body weight exercises on Monday (and foam rolled while watching a movie at night with my son). This morning I did my first circuit training class (a lot of cross fit and body weight type exercises) and then ran 5 miles in the Nature Park (the weather is fantastic here today). I'm hoping that the classes for the strength stuff will be more motivating than trying to do it on my own.

@PastorVincent I do have a smart phone and use the Nike App for tracking. I am also toying with treating myself to a watch, narrowed it down to either a Fitbit Ionic or Garmin 935 (the Garmin with the leading edge thanks to you & others here!)
@juliet3455 I actually do have a backpack that I have set up for running/cycling/duathlons, with stuff in it from towels to medical to duct tape to extra undies. I used up the sun screen a few months ago & have forgotten to replace it, however, got a few samples there at the Expo that I promptly put in right in the pocket! And I usually always try to get to events a few hours before start times. This is my 4th year running Gasparilla & have NEVER run into this problem, usually I pull into the 1st parking lot & get a spot. Have NO idea why this year it was different.
My mum asked me the next day if I had "fun". Fun? No. Will I do it again next year? Oh Ya!!
And it's crazy, but I DO kinda look forward to the little badges on this Nike app. Yesterday's run, I earned "Farthest Run:, "Longest Run", the Silver Milestone (25 miles in a month) AND I beat Saturday for my "Fastest 5K"! Oh, and I so totally negative splitted! Oh ya!

I am going to throw caution to the winds and run in capris and a t-shirt this afternoon. It's supposed to be 4C! Hooray! (Aka muddy snowy slushy ice time. Will probably stick to the city maintained multi-use trails.)8
-
And just checked the updated weather forecast and we are supposed to get 4" snow on Saturday, just in time for my 10K race on Sunday...5

If you get a garmin you can connect it to your nike running app and still get the badges and track your shoes. Fitbit does not sync with nike.3 -

I'm almost up to $500 so far!

Imagine running through the woods, mind lost in the suffering and self doubt, when seemingly at random you run into these guys at the top of long, brutal hill

Just realized that today is my "official" 2 year Runniversary. It was the first day that I ran 5 miles without having to do intervals.8
-
Decided to go back out and hit up the trails to burn off some steam. Had just hit the 6 mile mark when it started to sprinkle and since the sky was already purple i headed home and of course the minute i walk in the door it stopped. Gotta love Cali weather. Finished the run with 6.5 and 9.5 for the day.

@katiejane83 Happy Birthday! Mine is tomorrow, but I would have to run a bit more than 3.5miles

Feb 27: 3.1 mi
Really beautiful day today, but I am having trouble making the switch to running in warm weather. It was only a little over 70 F but when I tried to run faster than easy pace I felt like my chest was an oven. Just last week the temps were below freezing. I gotta get used to this, it's only going to get worse! I did my first 5k last September in almost 100 degree weather, and although it was pretty bad it didn't kill me. But back then I was walk / running, and it seems like really running generates a lot more heat. Hopefully I'll adjust given time.
Tomorrow is another gym day, so that's it for me for February. I'm pleased to have made goal despite being sick this month. See you all in the new thread!6 -
Thanks @lporter229 ! Happy early birthday to you!
