November 2020 Monthly Running Challenge

Got in my usual 5k trot behind Kroger while my husband shopped. Not going back until after Thanksgiving, it was scary in there! Huge crowds and not distancing.
I slipped on a banana peel while running! Like an old timey clown. Didn’t fall but skated along pretty good. Seriously who throws an entire half a banana in a whole banana peel on the sidewalk? It had shriveled and turned the same brown as the leaves, which is what I thought it was when I stepped on it. As a kid I always wondered, are banana peels really that slippery to step on? And the answer is, no, not really, but actual BANANAS hidden in the peel are!
Not another living soul out here but someone still littered!10 -

Went to run after work today. It was supposed to be a threshold run with some 100m intervals at the end. I just didn't want to do it. But I wanted to run. So I went out with the goal of maintaining a slightly hard pace for at least 4 miles. I figured that was a good threshold run and I didn't have to do intervals!
This plan has some pretty long runs during the week and I just get tired. I don't know how some of you guys log this mileage month after month. I can do it for a few months as I train for my HM but I can't maintain it year round. I think some people are just built for a longer distance. I'm definitely more of a mid-distance runner. My happy distance is around 3 to 6 miles. But I still like the challenge of working up to a HM once a year.7 -

I wrote out a post this morning but it appears I lost it. My back is doing better today, thank you @quilteryoyo and @skippygirlsmom. I ran on the treadmill before strength training. At the end of training, we did some foam rolling which was really good. I'm going to try to incorporate that into my routine a few days a week. During the session my trainer was pointing out how my hip flexors seem to be especially tight so gave me a few things specifically for that.
Sorry not to comment more - or recreate the comments I had earlier - but I'm just home from work and I think I'm going straight to bed. Have a good night everyone. Catch up with you tomorrow.

I ran 6 miles again this morning. The temperature was nice, but I could have done without the 15 mph winds. I can't complain though. It was nice to get out and just run for a bit. Today wasn't quite as stressful at work so that was nice. I haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread yet, but I thought I would at least post my run.

I'm glad you didn't get hurt! They were so close to getting it in the grass too, where it could've at least broken down without being on the sidewalk. I'm ok with banana peels, apple cores IF you toss them in the brush off of the road where they can decompose and no one can see them.
What makes me mad is cleaning up litter in the woods and then coming back to find an empty chip bag in the middle of the path, and later an empty soda can, like the whole place is their personal trash can. I don't understand the mentality of people who can just throw their trash on the ground. Put it in your bag or whatever you used to carry the snacks into the woods, and carry it out!
I also wonder, if I cave and go back AGAIN with a trash bag and gloves, am I just enabling them, and will it just get worse because they'll see that their trash magically disappeared?5 -

Right. The council here went through a phase of putting litter bins all over the trails. People still dropped their crap on the floor 1 metre from the bins. WTF is wrong with you, people?5 -
One day I was driving and saw a guy throw a pizza box down a sewer/storm drain on the side of the road. It was in an area with shops, so there were garbage cans nearby that he could have easily accessed. Made me so angry.4
-
I can't understand the littering either. I heard that it takes 2 years or more for a banana peel to decompose so I will never toss one out in nature, or apple cores, etc. In hiking it gets drilled in to carry out what you carry in and we tried to pick up anything we saw that someone else had dropped. Mostly people are very good on the trails but sometimes it's shocking how people don't seem to care or think someone else will take care of it.5
-
@rheddmobile So glad you didn't fall, but I do have that cartoon picture of you in my head now.
Makes me wonder if it wasn't a human who littered, but maybe some critter that dug a rotten banana out of the Kroger trash. I think most humans wouldn't just drop in on the sidewalk...unless it was a tiny human in a stroller and mom/dad didn't notice.
@martaindale You did great. Interestingly enough, when I don't want to run, I prefer to do intervals. It just seems to cut the run up which makes it easier for me to mentally do.
@katharmonic Glad your back is feeling better!
@kgirlhart Yeah for a nice run, especially in that wind. I don't do wind very well either.
@polskagirl01 I dislike those who litter too. Good for you for picking up the trash in the woods. I don't think you are enabling them because I really don't think they would notice.

According to the display in my car, the temperature this morning was a few degrees warmer than Wednesday morning but I ran by a lake so it felt colder.
@RunsOnEspresso – I’m running a little behind on my monthly goal mileage also but I’ve got a long weekend next week for Thanksgiving so I’m hoping to make up some ground then.
Happy Friday people!

Yay my girl is home from school until January, she hasn’t stopped talking since she got out of the car ha ha
Oh my gosh @rheddmobile that’s crazy I hate littering, what is wrong with people. My other is people who let their dogs crap and don’t clean it up. I cleaned up a huge pile in the middle of our street the other day, now it might have been a stray dog, but the lady up the street let’s her poop and leaves it so I’m sure it was here. I admit on the trail I’ll get a stick and flick it a few feet off, but on the roads I clean it all up.
@katharmonic glad the back is better

Skimmed.
Yay @tramboman! I had 57F at 4AM! It was great! Got to do strides too, which I love. Lifted and ran yesterday. Normally today I would run doubles but today is the day I drive to Texas.
I can't leave work for a bit then I have to handle arrangements with kids and their dad and the dog so I won't arrive in TX until 10:30pm at the earliest. I will be tired. But I will also sleep. And then I will wake up and go run a 10K in a foreign land and then sleep again and then come home.
I'm convincing myself that I'm not THAT tired and that this was a good idea - why I do the things I do. Adventure, I guess. Plus, you only get this one life, so eat up all the opportunities presented.
@skippygirlsmom yay for having your girl back!
@RunsOnEspresso I'd do a combo. That's just my two cents, though.6 -
Oh!
I did check in on @pastorvincent 's wife -
She and their son are doing well. She is working, which I don't think she did before. She loves her job. She says she is trying to juggle everything and learn to do things differently, but her words read as though she has peace - and a new normal. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Also. What a relief to know they didn't just keel over too.10 -
I went out twice today. 5k before work and 2 at lunch. I'll take the dog after work because I never know what she will be up for 🤣
I need 5 miles a day for the rest of the month. Should be easy. I have 2 Saturday long runs and the weeknof Thanksgiving off.5 -
Interesting on the banana peels. I throw them into brush, so never see them again, but maybe some animal could be eating them that shouldn't. Times when I've seen others' banana peels laying along the side of the road, they've broken down rather quickly... I don't remember ever seeing the same peel repeatedly, but I've never actually studied it. One website said to compost them by putting them in a bin with leaves, and that they'd be decomposed in 3-4 weeks. Maybe I should toss one into my rose bush and see what happens. Either way, apples are definitely native here, and in fact entire apples are currently rotting on the ground in many places (as are other native fruits depending on the season, and they all break down, even on the sidewalks under the trees). Maybe I'm just being overly defensive

@Camaramandy648 good to hear Pastor Vincent’s wife and son are doing ok. She sounds like a strong lady - wishing them all the luck in the world.
I’m behind again after a week of long hours at work and various other childcare pressures. But I got out this morning in an eye-wateringly cold 2c for a 5 mile run. Then one of my comedy runs with the class of 5-6 year olds this morning. I keep forgetting to include these little runs but this morning I remembered to track it. Bless them they are still pretty slow, but they are developing a bit more stamina. Rather sweetly the tiniest girl in the class decided she wanted to stay by my side for the whole thing and kept going without walking or stopping! Pint-sized determination! Here’s a couple of pretty sunrise shots from icy London this morning. My reward for the pre-dawn start!
Hope all are well. Will have a good read and catch up this weekend x

With litter, I was all about tossing banana peels and apple cores and letting nature do it’s thing, but after a post about trail running and food scraps, I learned that here, all you’re doing is feeding the rats (not native here) and the Department of Conservation would really prefer it if you take all rubbish with you.6
-
@skippygirlsmom Glad Skip made it home safely and is so chatty. I love that you have such a great relationship. Enjoy your time with her.
@Camarmandy648 Be safe and enjoy your race tomorrow! I know you will do great. Hope you have the course on some sort of device so you don't get lost.
Pretty pictures @Faebert. I love the stories about your comedy runs with the littles.
1 -
So quick update and check in.
Lovely photos @Faebert !
@Camaramandy648 you got this. And thanks for the update from Kristi.
@skippysmom enjoy the chatty. I get one word convos with my teenager 😂
@rheddmobile , really unbelievable. Glad you are ok.
Great running to the rest.
So after a week the swelling has gone, but still painful. I did try and run on Thursday which I probably should not have. Went to orthopedic today and now have a brace to support the arch and foot. So no running for at least another week maybe more. He didn’t see any breaks, but likely the ligament is stretched and inflamed.
I can cycle though, so really glad I invested in that! Of course I won’t meet my November goal...first time I think!8 -
@Camaramandy648 good luck on your race. I hope it's an awesome experience and you can enjoy the time on your own on your adventure.
@hamsterwheel6 sorry about the foot not being better. Glad you can still cycle. Hope the brace will help it be more comfortable and heal.
Aw, @skippygirlsmom that's so great to have your daughter home and excited to tell you everything. It's such a long break this time - at least we're longer than normal so I hope all the students and families enjoy their time and we are in a better place when they head back to school in January.
@faebert that sounds so cute, your runs with the little ones. Beautiful sunrise photos!

It was a lovely day here. I slept in after working late the night before and then snuck out early to get my run done this afternoon. It was about 65 degrees so felt pretty perfect. I did the trail that starts by the Wegmans grocery store so I could pick up some things after. I parked closer to the store than the trail and started running from my car. One of the employees was leaving work and startled when I ran past him - he said "oh, I thought you were chasing me" and laughed. I apologized because yes, I could see why he thought some crazy might be running after him in a parking lot. LOL. The first mile of the run felt really rough, but it got a little better as I went and my pace progressively increased. I ended up with a 5k distance - quite a bit slower than my 5k race from last weekend of course!
I'm so happy to be going into the weekend and a short week. I'm hoping it will be a a weekend to catch up on things around the house and at work, but all those grand plans tend to go nowhere so I'm going to try to set the bar low. In any case, the thanksgiving break will be very nice - whether there is anything holiday-ish about it this year or not, at least it's a few days off5 -
@skippygirlsmom - so excited for you to have Skip home! Enjoy every moment!!
@Camaramandy648 - good luck with your 10K. Have fun! Also thanks for the @PastorVincent family update.
@Faebert - that sunrise is gorgeous! I would love to see those littles out there running! Sounds so cute!
Littering - it makes me so angry too and also like @skippygirlsmom I hate that people are irresponsible with their dogs. Where I run the water basins and channeled river are settling ponds to fill the underground aquifer which eventually becomes our drinking water. People let their dogs go everywhere along the paved trail and on the dirt service areas along the river where I run. The city provides bags and bins to put the waste in so there is really no excuse. I have had people try to tell me it is 'natural' and the coyotes and other animals go there too. Yes but no... dog pop doesn't break down because of all the preservatives in the foods we feed them. Wild animals poop does.
I do know that banana peels in compost break down pretty quickly but I think it is because of the gases and heat that is generated by the composting itself. We have a lot of citrus, figs and pomegranate trees in our area that drop fruit all over. It eventually gets eaten by the squirrels, raccoons and possums and maybe rats too if people don't clean them up in their yards. We also have people who bring their scraps or bags of vegetables to the trail to feed the rabbits. It makes our park rangers crazy because they already have so much to eat natively and more food = more rabbits and squirrels and then you end up with more coyotes...
I have been running. My hip is sore and my legs are tired. I think I need to cut back some and rest. Doing so will mean I won't make my goal for the month or my rather arbitrary goal for the year. I already missed my goal of 2020km for the year so I guess it isn't a big deal to not hit the arbitrary lower goal I set for myself. I am going to walk this weekend and will include those miles and see how I feel on Monday. We don't have agility class so that should help my hip too. It just feels like it has been something or other getting in my way all year.

I am in Dallas. And i just paid $14 for a shot of tequila.
Didn’t stop the whole way here. Mask on right away. And so far zero interaction with anyone.
It’s starting to kind of hit that I just drove to Dallas after being up and working all day just to run a race they said is cancelled / virtual.
Maybe I HAVE lost my mind.10 -

You are an ultrarunner and only now you think you lost it 😊
You weren't being chased by a scrawny coyote carrying an Acme box of banana peels at the time were you @rheddmobile ? Glad you are okay though.6 -
I have missed a few runs lately, but I did do the prescribed stride repeats last night. The weather was a bit warmer yesterday, and the sun felt really good overall. It has been a rough week, so I am very glad for the weekend. I am behind on my monthly goal, but I am hoping to catch up over Thanksgiving.

@shanaber Continue to listen to your body. That's much more important than meeting some arbitrary goal.
@marisap2010 Sorry about the rough week. Glad you were able to get your run in last night.
