Goal is 120.5M. 117 to go.
Apparently I was too tired this morning after my flight to Germany to do math.
12.2: 4.5 @ 9:10/M (4.5) Easy Run
12.3: 4.0 @ 9:05/M (8.5) Easy Run
8.5 of 120.5 complete.
Was supposed to do some speed work but I’m getting a lot of discomfort on my right hip bone that extends up my side, especially when I lean or twist left. I can’t massage it our stretch it out so I ran an easy run today. Could a tight IT band give me pain above my hip bone? I feel it’s inflamed and it feels like little knots around my hip bone. Weight doesn’t bother it but it stiffens up even after a few minutes of sitting.
Could be IT band. But I'd focus on the TFL and medial glute. Maybe even massage out/stretch the psoas too.
Thanks for the tip. I've tried self-massage since my massage therapist couldn't really pin point anything that was troublesome to his touch with no luck. It seems to flare up more around my time of the month when I look back at my running app "notes". I still get a lot of pain around the front part of the pelvic bone and when I lean to the lift, in the motion resembling the start of a cart wheel. It hurts much worse AFTER my run than during.1 -

Still dealing with some pain around my right hip and some inflammation I can feel with my bare hands. I still can't massage it out or stretch it out. Will try some ice tonight before I go to sleep. Pain is much worse after I run and then again after I stand after sitting for a bit. I haven't gone to the DR at all this year, so I'm trying to wait until Jan 1st in case it is an "issue", I'll be working towards 2019's deductible.2 -
Happy Birthday @Scott6255 !0

So, remember the issues that I had with my back last month? Well despite not changing laundry detergents or anything- it has not come back. Which is great but confusing news.8

1206-5.1k total-16.3k, goal-60k
Early run on business trip before the gazillion things to do started out. I'm in a not very big town just 50km from Myanmar, and the sun doesn't come up until nearly 8am. It was pitch dark most of the way, and at 7am suddenly all the streetlights switched off.
Luckily the roads were empty enough to feel safe and my memory told me it was well paved. So I ran around pretty much blind for a few km, until I was rewarded with an awesome view at the finish.

this is a bit late, but @skippygirlsmom - a story. FOM (friend of mine) dropped out of high school, then started taking classes at the local community college. Before graduating with his associate degree, he transferred to a Baptist university. He finished all but the 2 required Old and New Testament classes which were known to be "grade busters" as the Profs took great glee in flunking people. Prior to graduating, he received his acceptance letter to medical school, so he never finished getting his BS and just went off to medical school....he finished that and is now a surgeon. So the VERY first degree he got was a doctorate. tldr: in the end, it doesn't matter how she gets there, Skip will succeed.
Upcoming races:
January 4, 2019 Hilo to Volcano Ultra 50k Relay. In memory of @keeprunningfatboy
Ticker is my goal for 2018 and (obviously deficient) progress to date:

Happy Birthday @Scott6255
Finally went out for my first run of the month yesterday and I'm annoyed because I'm pretty sure that I managed to pause my fitbit and lost probably around 400m worth of the run. And damnit I'm not running that far, I need that distance! Anyway the puppy was behaving himself and so was a joy to run with (unlike last time when he just kept pulling all the time) which was definitely helpful as it was drizzling so I didn't have my headphones on. Pretty sure I ran 90% of the distance which is a huge achievement for me, I did a similar route about a month ago and ran only about 50% of it, so definite winning.
Was frustrating though, as I felt like I had enough puff in my lungs to have gone for longer, but my legs were starting to hurt which is why I finished the run when I did.
5/12: 4.04km
Total: 4.04/32km8 -
Goals for December: 200 km (125 miles) of biking and 30 km (18.5 miles) of running.
12/04: bike 30 km (18.5 miles)

Total so far: 50 km (30.5 miles) of biking and 6 km (3.6 miles) of running. I'm getting there!
I hope to get back with replies to some of the posts - really busy these days :sigh:

a quick run this morning, couldn't find my fitbit and couldn't be bothered to put my Tomtom on as it was only round the park. The only question is, since it wasn't recorded in any way, did it actually happen?
Had a good giggle later, as I went to meet a client on a site to look at a monument. It's on a big country estate, and rather than take the shuttle bus I decided to walk, then decided to take a shortcut across the grass. It's the sort of terrain I'd love IF I HAD TRAIL SHOES ON. I instead had flat-soled boots. As expected I slid down the hill on my butt. I confess to this being the highlight of my day. How childish am I?

morning all. i got 2 in last night. nice and comfy. didn't break any records but it was nice to do more than a mile. i wish i did live closer to a trail. i'm not loving city running.
i was also covered in minimal pee which is huge. puppies are lucky they are cute. fosters smell like pee and are getting a bath.9 -
No run again yesterday and just a short 6.5 miles of walking. I am looking forward to getting back to my routine. I love vacation, and it is nice when you get to the last day or two and actually feel ready to go home.5

Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2019 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Run at least 4 5k races.
Get under 30:00 and a PR for 5k.
Average at least 135k per month, which would put me over 1,000 miles for the year.
So last evening my left achilles tightened up, and my legs hurt enough so that I took a couple of ibuprofen so I could sleep. When I thought about it this morning, realized that I didn't follow my regular post run routine: no protein drink; no back stretch; and no foam rolling. As a result, decided to make today a recovery run and follow my regular post run routine. Everything feels fine now.
