Been a busy couple of days, so v.limited time for a quick run this evening.
Did 500m a fair bit faster than 5km pace followed by 500m at 10km pace, then repeated once. Will build the distance on this extra run slowly over the month.

September Goal: 165 miles
9/1: 6.05 miles
9/2: 6.52 miles
12.57/165 miles completed for September
It was really nice for me this morning. 66°F with a dew point of 65°. It was much nicer than it has been lately. I ran a tempo run and ended up with 6.5 miles. I know we'll have more hot weather, but it was nice to be a little cooler.

You're doing great @CMorning99 ….but, you probably need to change your running days to Sept. 🤣😉 Glad you found a food tracking app that you like. I wouldn't pay $60 a year for that either. It does sound like you need to find a newer pair of shoes. If you run too much in those, you may hurt some body part (knee, ankle, leg, etc.)
Glad you are back @Zaxa2021 . I would love to get comfortable at running 12 miles! Not happened yet. Three miles is my comfort level at the moment. LOL
Sounds like you are doing great @yirara . I hope the "gym" works out for the month.
1 Sept - Walked 1.60 miles, Ran 2.75 miles - Driveway and road
2 Sept - Walked 2.25 miles, Ran 0.00 miles - Drioveway6.60/80 mile goal
I am trying to get ready for a yard sale on Saturday, so spent most of my day on that.
It rained this morning, so my driveway was wet, and slick. Because of that did just a walk to minimize the probability of slipping and falling. Plus, I just wasn't feeling the best today, so that was a good choice all around. My pace was 15:54 min/mile. Avg HR was 120 with a max of 135 bpm.

9/2: 5 miles
Total: 5/100 miles
5 miles at 10 min/mile. It was a good run, I felt in the zone. The gym was extra busy tonight for some reason.

Pilates class followed by a 20 minute run at 5:45 pace followed by a visit to the osteopath to remove a few kinks (usual hip and neck, plus a bonus foot)

I'm Kizzy, 45 years old. Lives in California. I'm here and started on the treadmill for 15 minutes a day for about a week now. That's my goal to do at least one 15 minutes a day for a walk on treadmill. If I do more than that it's a bonus.

Sounds like you are getting your groove back after vacation @tarun_yadavA .
Put your shoes on and head out the door @angf0679 !

Monday was a recovery day. Yesterday garmin changed the planned threshold session into a longer base run so I made it longer a bit. The wildfire smoke came back yesterday strong in the morning, by the evening it had eased up a bit but by not much but at least the run was manageable, cough choke cough. Today still more smoke. We've been lucky, July and August had been smokefree unlike previous years. Might need to break out the NBC suit if this doesn't ease up soon.

Good morning!
1 Sep - Rest (SOOOOOO Hot)
2 Sep - 1.5 Miles / 6 min WOG / 35 upper body
3 Sep - 1.5 miles / 6 min WOG / 35 lower bodyGoal: (3) 20 Miles / (12) 42 Min 2x3min WOG'ing / (2) 13 Strength
@quilteryoyo Oops! Thanks, it is all a blur! I do need to dig out some new shoes, maybe even buy some new one since I am sure the foam has deteriorated even in my old "good" ones. I have been looking at the oncloud ones, their hybrid ones. I don't need anything fancy.
Back to back workouts today since I moved Mondays workout. New weight routine and he added back in some free weights after machines and they are a lot harder.
Day 3 of using cronometer, still liking it. DH is getting some wake up calls (his first time tracking ever) LOL. It is funny listening to him complain at the end of the day about how much salt in food.

Hi @Kizzy_Ann I'm happy to see you posting here in the Sept Running Challenge. This is a high volume group, so it's great for getting daily support, motivation, and encouragement. Posting your goal and checking in regularly really works. I hope to see you around.
2 -
Sure @Zaxa2021 You have a big goal (100) I hope to see you here meeting that big number.
Will you start mixing in some outdoor training along with the treadmill as you get closer to your race date?

I should have looked at a calendrer for September before I set a goal of 15 runs. The most I run is 4 times in one week. There isn't enough weeks in September to make that goal. I am going to drop it to 12 runs.
Sept 3 - 4km
1 of 12 runs completed for September

Sorry to hear about the wildfire smoke return @WarmJellyfish!
Hope you're feeling better @quilteryoyo & good luck on the yard sale!Welcome @Kizzy_Ann!
Salt in the food was one of many shockers to me, just like your DH @CMorning99, while I was trying losing weight & get off HBP meds!
Posting 2 days.
Sept:01/09 - 8.08km / 5.02 miles
02/09 - 0km Rest day
03/09 - 6.21km / 3.86 miles
Total = 14.29km / 8.88 miles (Goal - 161Km / 100 miles)Decided after my lackluster performance on my first Sept race to take a rest day on Tuesday. This morning was a really nice cool start to the day for a run.

@angf0679 🤣😂
Wow. That's beautiful @AlphaHowls !
Good running @WarmJellyfish . I hate that the fires are so bad there and in CA too.
You are doing great @CMorning99 New shoes can't hurt. Glad you are liking your chronometer. Yeah. The first time you start looking at labels, it is a wake up call!
@John772016 Glad you had a nice run this morning. Thanks. I am feeling better and getting ready for a yard sale is a lot of work. I don't expect to make a ton of money, but hopefully can de-clutter a bit.

Mom and I ran some errands and did some shopping this morning. When we got almost back to mom's house…like one house away close…the road was blocked with fire trucks, ambulance, EMS, etc. Turned out some lady had driven off the road and down an embankment/bluff. It was basically straight down. We aren't sure what happened because it looked like she didn't break and didn't make any effort to turn to stay on the road. She was alert when they took her to the hospital and just complained about her nose hurting (per the neighbor) so hopefully she is okay. Anyway, we didn't know how long it would take to clear the road and we had groceries, so we had to backtrack and get to mom's by a different route. Here, in rural E. TN, that means about a 15 min drive.
They did get everything taken care of about 10 min after we got to mom's. We walked up to look at the scene and talked to our neighbor's.
I say this as a way to explain that, by then, I was short on time and energy, so decided on only a treadmill walk. Garmin had told me earlier that I didn't sleep well last night and should get some rest, so…. today I listened to the watch. 😂

Good morning/afternoon
Yesterday I did strength training in the morning. It fell on a good day because we got rain most of the moring. After work I did a short yogalates session on the porch followed by a 2.22 mile walk. This morning, I ran 5 miles with three friends. It was an uneventful run which is probably a good thing.

I probably won't be adding in outdoor running. It's just not really practical at this point. It would be running in the dark around pretty heavy traffic, which I don't want to do. I think (and hope) I'll be okay without it.

9/2: 5 miles

Another 5 miles last night. Legs felt a bit more tired but i managed okay. Happy to be starting the month off pretty strong.

Good running everyone.
@John772016 @quilteryoyo thanks
Yesterday was a shorter "recovery" run. Wanted to do a threshold as originally planned by garmin but it became a tempo run. Ran out of gas. Wonder why I was breathing hard hmmmm 🤨. Had a nice orange sun. Sky was soooo brown. At least it wasn't a red sun or I'd loose my powers🏃♀️Anyone watch supes? Love Krypto!5 -
Anyone who can stay on a treadmill longer than 30 minutes has my utmost respect and I think this takes a lot more mental toughness than running outside any day! You got this!

4 Sept - Walked 1.00 miles - Ran 0.00 miles - Treadmill9.85/80 mile goal
Was trying to get some furniture to mom's for the yard sale, but the rain kept interfering. Started a couple of times and it rained before we got anything loaded up. It really is hard to get anything else done when your waiting for a break in the rain.
I did manage to get in a mile on the treadmill and finally got the big stuff to mom's around 7 pm. Keeping the streak going may be all I'm able to do for the next couple of days.
