    October Walking/Running

    Oct. 4 - 6km run
    Oct 7 - 2.37km walk
    Oct 11 - 10km run
    Oct. 13 - 5km run

    With piano and voice lessons tomorrow night, the only real time I have to run is my lunch break. I haven't run on my lunch break since I was in the stall changing after my run, and well I hadn't made sure the door was fully and properly locked………… I need to keep up what I've done this weekend.

    "Driveway run"…is that running from one end of the driveway to the other, turn around and run back, repeat as needed? Basically turning your driveway into a miniature track? Yeesh, how many trips around do you need to get a reasonable distance covered?

    Nice running @kgirlhart . I hope the coyote was at a distance.

    @yirara That sounds like a lot to deal with. You do great to do what you do.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Sorry you're still struggling. I hope you are back to at least close to normal by the time you leave for your trip.

    Great run this morning @username301 . Great goals and I'm betting you will be able to meet them.

    Nice run @Teresa502 .

    Doing great @rennerkyler . Glad the clicking is getting better.

    Yeah for a lunch break run @angf0679 .

    @nossmf You're doing great. Yes, driveway run is doing laps on my driveway. My driveway is long (and hilly), so about 2.25 laps is a mile. Recently, I have been adding in a little bit of the road at the end of my driveway, up and down both sides of the hill a couple of times. It helps break up the monotony. I posted pictures recently. In case you missed them, here they are again.

    Up the hill from the end of my driveway.

    Down the hill from my driveway.

    Sounds like a great run @John772016 . The food sounds great and glad you were able to spend time with friends since you weren't able to travel to be with your family.

    Did a driveway wun after work again. I got off a bit earlier today, so had a little bit more time. The run felt good. I did run a bit more before walking today - and ran up my nemesis driveway hill twice without stopping to walk. The avg pace for the running portion was 12:26 min/mile (yesterday it was 12:55). Avg HR was 146 with a max of 162 bpm. Splits were 13:10, 11:53, 12:33, and 10:02 for the last tenth of a mile.

    I ran a 6 mile tempo run today. It was a good run. It was a little cooler than yesterday. I didn't see any coyotes today, just the usual cats.

    @quilteryoyo The coyote was a good distance away yesterday, but I was definitely on alert today.

    Ran 4.4 miles this morning. Yesterday it was 52F and this morning it was 46F. Still nice but my hands were a little cold on the first half mile. I was running on the sidewalk beside a high privacy fence this morning and I look up to see a possum waddling along the top of the fence. Luckily there wasn't any oncoming traffic as I hopped off the sidewalk and into the road to give him his space!

    Glad you are feeling better @tarun_yadavA

    @John772016 - I was wondering how you ate all that food (which sounds delish) and then I saw that you shared with friends and put some in the freezer for later. I've never had Yorkshire pudding. I googled to see what was in it and was a bit disappointed to see it's a savory dish and not sweet!

    Happy running everyone,

    Trying to get in more high aerobic training. Not quite. Short run yesterday only +5c but that wind was brutally cold. One ear started to hurt should have worn the head/ear band earlier.

    Great run @kgirlhart . Good idea to be on alert for wild animals.

    Glad you are feeling better @tarun_yadavA .

    Great running @Teresa502 . It has been a bit cool. It's been in the low 40's here for the last week. Afternoon runs have been better temp wise. I'm sure seeing the possum startled you. Giving it space was wise.

    You're doing great @WarmJellyfish .

    Hey @tarun_yadavA visiting Panama sounds pretty amazing.

    Also had a bit of a careless fall in my kitchen on Friday night. Lost of my footing and fell on my back. Lower back/right side a bit sore too.

    It's never good timing, but I hope you are able to be loose and comfortable whilst locked into your seat for a couple hours. Please send pics, and bon voyage!

    Yeah, that went super well again because I used some medication (offlabel) to get my heartrate up. Super easy, super relaxed breathing even right after my minisprints, legs happy, heartrate high as usual. Super happy with this run, and it was so much fun in perfect, cool yet fairly windstill autumnweather.
