NICE!! Congratulations!
@7lenny7 I'm excited for your race and trip. I'll be over in the Seattle area this weekend but will be looking forward to hearing about it!
My right hamstring was still upset at me this morning, but when walking the dogs, I ran a few 1-2 block intervals anyway. I realized I miss doing intervals. I might have to do those on my shorter runs after this race.
At lunchtime today, I did a Feldenkrais lesson on "mobilizing your core" for running. Or something like that. It was actually really cool. I had to skip most of the running before/after the lesson because of a meeting, but still recognized improvements after the lesson. I'm really looking forward to my run tomorrow with my coworkers.9 -

One measly mile today - actually it was just .95 miles according to Garmin. This was a short warmup before circuit training group. It was intentionally a light day for training today and then I did yoga after. This week I just want to keep it light so I can be rested and not sore.

I think this sinus thing is turning into something else. I felt better this morning, after sleeping more last night. I played tennis at 10, indoors. I did okay, but there was a lot of coughing going on.
Then, I went to work with 11 two year olds. They were napping when I got there. I was sitting, watching them, when I sneezed and needed a tissue. I don't work in the room often, so asked where they were. The other teacher told me they were on the counter, by the sink. Problem was, it was darkish in the room, the box was brown, and the counter top was brown. I was trying to find them and not step on a sleeping child when I kicked a little chair that had been left right in the middle of the room that I didn't see. It toppled over. I didn't want to kick the chair into a child, so stepped over the seat. Unfortunately, I stepped onto the seat back, which is now flat on the floor. It went scooting, and down I went on my right knee. It scrapped my knee through my pants and it hurts a little, but doesn't appear to be swollen any. Just my luck.
As the day went on, I just started feeling a little bit worse. By the time I got home, I was feeling a little feverish. Took my temperature. I was 99.2, which isn't very high on a normal person, but mine normally runs 97.2. I wanted to get in some mileage, so went out for a walk. It wasn't easy, but I did 1.6 miles.
I hope I feel better in the morning. I'm supposed to cook a meal for a Relay For Life fundraiser. Fingers crossed.13 -
@7lenny7 if conveyor belts are not your style, my brother and his wife spoke very highly of “bamboo sushi” as their favorite in town. They did mention it was a little higher end, also. My friend and I were quite content to create $20 fish food babies.
Yesterday I focused on some mobility and some of my pt exercises. It’s becoming evident that I am going to have to focus on prehab if I’m going to stay over 15 miles per week or more with my gimpy ankle.
Today, I got in 2.3 miles. = 31.2/404 -
@Avidkeo I have new x rays. He was very pleased with the bone growth. I think the articulation of the hip look much better than it had. I’m hoping that alleviates my torn labrum pain.
Ohhhhhh pretty, thanks for sharing!!! yep that growth looks fantastic! nice healing. and I'm glad to see the radiographer used protection on you, excellent practice.0 -

I was pleased with the apron placement too. I had a surprise visit from af as I arrived. Nice the doc and I didn’t have to chat about the bone while pretending not to be staring at a tampon.5 -

First soccer practice outside for the spring season, so hit the trail while practice was going on. It was a beautiful evening and many people were out enjoying the trail.
4/7 - 4 miles
4/10 - 3 miles
4/15 - 3 miles
4/17 - 3 miles
4/21 - 4 miles
4/23 - 4 miles
Total 21 miles/Goal 50 miles9 -
Gorgeous evening here. We took our dog for a walk and ran into 2 other families we know doing the same. Everyone talked about how wonderful it was outside, especially since it'll be 99 degrees on Friday. Later I went for a run.
22.54/307 -
All packed up and ready to go! Just relaxing with some single malt Scotch and snuggling with Kody before I go to bed. We head to the airport just past noon so I'll have time to sleep in a bit. The flight is 3h45m nonstop. Round trip is only $211 each and we're renting a minivan for just $145 for 6 days.
The race allows two drop bags, one at 22 miles and one at 37. I'm trying to minimize what I bring so I just have bare essentials and am using string bags for drop bags. The biggest thing I have is a pair of socks in each. I think I read there are 12 water crossing, some calf deep.
I still don't know what my wife has for the rest of our time there, other than I know she wants to go winery hopping. We love Oregon pinot noir!
I want to go people watching in Portland. I can't think of a better place for that. And I want to eat. @hanlonsk I dropped the hint about the conveyor sushi and it seemed like she might go for that. And yes, I think it would be my style.
In my head I'm going back and forth between being very excited and very anxious about the race. Everything feels great now but 50 miles is a long time for things to go wrong. One thing in my favor is that I'm completely comfortable with the idea of being DFL. With a 14 hour limit I'd be thrilled with 13h59m59s for my time.
If there's reception on the trail I'll post some photos during the race.

@midwesterner85 - I can't imagine running back to back marathons like that right after running a 50k!
@7lenny7 - Hope you can make it through your race without pain or rein jury. Can you tape around your heel and achilles for some added support? Hobbes actually had a great road trip. We were surprised that the National Park was dog friendly even off the paved trails. You can even hike and camp with your dog in that park. He was also welcome in the UFO museum and into many of the historical sites in Los Alamos.
@simcon1 - this is a HM taper plan from Jeff Galloway that I have used before and worked well for me. Or you could run another long run and then take it easy the week before your race, but if you have run 10 you are likely just fine to run the HM.
I got in a make up long run today for the long run I missed out on on Saturday. I changed my intervals to 2 min run 30 sec walk and it worked well. I may increase the run interval just a little though - I don't feel like I was running enough. I also had a terrible upset stomach resulting in 3 bathroom stops. I think I may have been a little dehydrated from the drive yesterday - it's the only thing I can think of. I did take note not to run a long run on the same day as agility class. I was exhausted already and then to have to race around on the grass field with Hobbes was tough. He of course still had plenty of energy. Now though, he is crashed out on the couch 😁

@7lenny7 - I know you have family there but for my 2 cents - there is SO much good food (and wine) in Portland - maybe a trip to VooDoo Donuts if you haven't been before. There is also a place called the Waffle Window that has really yummy sweet and savory waffles... Of course not food related but I can't go to Portland without a trip to Powell's books either - you could get lost in there!
Of course I hope the race is awesome - I am sure it will be beautiful and we will all be cheering for you!8 -
0423-5k total-45k, goal-75k
Girlfriend wanted a short run last night but bailed out on me, so I was left with a half an hour of spare time and length of empty road. Did a 4km speed-up (or tempo, however you look at it) with a 1km cool down.
Man it was hot. Garmin gave me 23-27 degrees Celsius (high 70s for Fahrenheit people). Summer is already upon us and I'm not acclimated at all. Kept telling myself to embrace the suck because this is probably the coolest weather I'll get until October.12 -

Have a 5K on Saturday that I'm running for time, so keeping the mileage a bit lower this week. Still planning on busting out at least 10 miles on Sunday.
UGH! This whole "keep the mileage low so you can race Saturday" sucks. Did a little speed work last night just for the heck of it.

I know I'll get the first goal.....#2 is going to be a stretch. We shall see!6 -
@7lenny7 Off topic but THANK YOU for mentioning your flight and car rental costs. It reminded me to check for lower rates for our reservation this summer. I was able to save over $250 on the minivan!5

@7lenny7 so excited to hear about your race this weekend!
I think I have officially decided that the Brooks Glycerin 16s don't work for me. Everything hurt in them last night on my short run. I'm so depressed. I've been running in Glycerins since I first started running, back in around 2011 I think. I'm not sure where to turn now. I always struggle to find shoes that don't make my feet go numb. Maybe Altra road shoes, since I have the Lone Peaks as my trail shoes. Ugh.
In happier news, this Saturday is my Run For the Wild 5k at the Bronx Zoo! It's my 5th year doing this race, and it's the one big fundraiser I do every year! It's one of my all time fave events! And, my company totally came through. They donated $800 to my fundraiser! Just in case anyone is interested, here's my fundraising page: https://my.wcs.org/fundraiser/1836605
I highly recommend the show The Zoo, on Animal Planet, for anyone who is interested. It's currently in season 3 and is a documentary about the Bronx Zoo (and other NYC zoos run by the Wildlife Conservation Society). It's super fascinating!
I did a short tempo run last night. Only two miles but it felt good to push! Other than the stupid shoes, lol.

@7lenny7 Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in Portland. Hope you have a great race!1
-
@KatieJane83 sorry to hear about your Glycerin 16's. I just got those a couple weeks ago, replacing my 15's. I have run short and long runs in them, and they feel great. Didn't really notice much difference in 16's vs the 15's. Believe me, I know everyone is different, and shoes are a very personal choice. But just wondering if something else is going on besides the shoes.

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.
Run the Year Team: Five for Nineteen
Nice day for running; partly cloudy, light wind, and just cool enough for a long sleeved top. Also felt good, so I ran a little quicker than I normally would. Unless something ugly happens, looks like I'll (barely) meet my goal for the month.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K -- 31:12 chip time; First Place male 65 and older
6-1 Freedom 5K (Will be off the schedule due to another commitment)
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5K9 -
@shanaber this will be our 3rd trip to Portland. We've been to both Waffle Window and Voodoo donuts but not to Powells. I used to be a voracious reader but not so much any more.
@zeesparrow did you reserve through Costco by chance? I love how easy they make it and that you're not charged until pick up. For this trip I initially had an intermediate car for $315 but kept checking every week and rebooking whenever I found a better deal. I bet I booked 6 or 7 times.
@KatieJane83 if you decide to try a different model, I found the ASICS Gel Nimbus to be very similar to the Glycerins2 -
@Scott6255 the last model I have is actually the 14s, lol. I did a really good job of stockpiling those. So, for all I know, the 15s could have been the 1st version that didn't work for me. I would suspect other things except that when I run in my old 14s I'm totally fine. So, I think I just finally encountered the Curse Of The New Model, lol. Maybe I'll go to a running store and try out the 17s too, who knows, maybe they changed again!
@7lenny7 good to know and thank you for the suggestion! I'll have to give those a try!
I do still think I'll try the Altras too, I've been thinking about transitioning to zero drop for everything, I'll just need to ease into it. Ideally, I've always wanted to have a couple of different shoes in rotation, I've just always struggled to find shoes that work, but maybe this will be my big opportunity to make that happen!

@7lenny7 Actually, no. I used Expedia. I just checked on Costco and their prices are double my new reservation! Ack!0

@KatieJane83 I really like The Zoo! We watch a bunch of animal/vet shows because my daughter loves them and that one is super interesting!!
@7lenny7 Good luck on race day!2 -
@martaindale one of my favorite things about it is the added depth it gives to my actual visits to the Bronx Zoo. It's really neat when you can visit and make connections to things you've seen on the show!0

I messed up my streak, the bottoms of my legs were feeling very tight and sore so I new I wasn't going to manage to the end of the month. I have hit my monthly target for the 1st time since Aug 2017 so that's a positive and I'm happy with that!

@KatieJane83 I remember feeling this way about some model of Nikes many years ago. I'd worn probably 3 or 4 versions in the past, but I bought a newer model and they just didn't work. I scoured the internet for a pair of the older model I'd loved and wore those until they wore out, and then moved on to Saucony and Brooks. I'm in the market for a new pair now and don't even know what to do, so I guess it's back to the running store for me.2

I ran at lunch today for 3.13 miles. It was a good run. I wish I had more time at lunch. It was pouring rain this morning when I first woke up, so I decided that I would just see if there was a break in the rain either at lunch time or after work. I knew I would have to run a shorter run, but the idea of getting out in the rain in the dark just did not appeal to me so I went back to sleep for a little longer. It has rained off and on all day, but was not raining at lunch time so I ran then. I really like running before work, but the lack of daylight that early means I run the same route on weekdays. So it was good to run a different route at lunchtime. It is always just a rush to get my run in and get back to work and sometime 3 miles just isn't enough to really get into the run. Too bad I can't just take off as long as I want and then come in when I get ready to. lol
