My wife and I only live like 30 mins from the race start, but we will be staying overnight this year before the race. Got a room with a few hundred feet fo the start/finish area.
Was just too much "fun" dealing with getting there before all the roads close and etc last year.2 -

3.1 miles is my best distance yet. I had to slow to a brisk walk twice going up hills, but only for a minute so I'm still calling it a win!16 -

Ok! I'm in!
I've started the c25k a few times but always fail at week 5! I'm currently on week 4 so should have a 5 km completed by the end of the month.
A local park does timed 5k every day so my goal for march will be 50km and to do a timed 5km on 31st march! ❤️13 -

@karllundy glad to see you're on the mend!
My total for the month so far is already 1/3rd my total for all of February, so it's a great start but I really need to be careful not to overdo it. Just over 40 miles for the week, first time since my 50K last April. I'll probably get chastised by my PT Thursday for that, as I should.
16 miles yesterday, solo with about 15% walking. I don't want Kody running that far on pavement so I left him behind. My intent was 15 miles but this was part of my quest to run all the roads in town and I ended up finding two new housing developments which weren't on my map yet so I had to run them while I was there. This was the 17th run in that quest with 13 more to go. That doesn't include the federal highway going through town. I haven't decided if I'll attempt that or not.
My ITB started niggling at just 4 miles, but it never really developed into pain until the last mile. Perhaps that had something to do with the beer I stopped for. I never bring cash with me when I run, but something compelled me to bring cash yesterday. At mile 15 I was running by an indoor soccer & golf center which has a cheesy little bar and that's when I had my "Aha moment". I paused my Garmin, went in and ordered a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA. It was divine! I did get a few strange looks while I was there. Not sure if it was the UD hydration vest or the fact that I was the only one in shorts. Or may be it was my stunning good looks...hard to say.
I was pretty happy with the way the run went, but I am feeling some pain today. Hopefully being up and walking around today will help.

"The most interesting man on Earth", kinda looks? With a beer like that? Mm hmmm.
Hope the IT band behaves ITself.
@karllundy Good to see you back!4 -
Anyone recommend a chreapish chest strap HR monitor? My fitbit charge was pretty accurate reading my HR during runs, but now I have the charge 2, and it is way off during runs, It reads my heart rate about 102-106 when Its really around 155. I would like to know what its really at while im running, so Im thinking ill just get a chest strap for runs, but dont want to spend much.0

I don't know of a cheap one. Can you contact the manufacturer and ask for advise? Is the one you are using a chest strap? Is it wet? Is it positioned and snug? Garmin suggested I toy with the positioning of mine.
Good luck with it. I hope someone has more to offer.
