Didn't even come close to my goal this month. I've had a major job interview coming up and went through two rounds of phone interviews this month as well, so I've been devoting nearly all of my time to preparing for that. I haven't checked this thread at all (sorry), but I'll join the December challenge. 11/3 7 miles (7…

Happy Halloween! Yesterday: 13.2 miles (just for "fun") in 80 degree F (~27 C) heat on a half-mile loop. The hand bottle was a life-saver. Today: 6.6 miles easy, in order to reach goal. @_nikkiwolf_ Congratulations on your 1st marathon! @RespectTheKitty Congratulations on hitting 8.2 miles! @RunTimer Those figure…

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I got one of those Milestone Pod things, too, and it offers some decent insight into form. @shanaber Wow, what a nasty attitude for a photographer to have! 10/1 6.2 (6.2 MTD) 10/5 6.2 (12.4 MTD) 10/9 10.0 (22.4 MTD) 10/11 6.2 (28.6 MTD) (completely miscalculated in previous post,…

I finally bought one of those hand strap water bottles. Having water without stopping or anything is so good it feels like cheating. Carrying it is only a mild nuisance compared to running while gripping a standard water bottle. Today I ran my HM. I've had a bad habit of giving up on long runs in training, so I was worried…

3 miles easy yesterday, and today I ran a 5k race that was free through my work so I signed up at the last minute. I told myself I would take it easy, but race adrenaline kicked in and running conditions were near perfect, so that didn't happen. @7lenny7 This training spreadsheet is cool! I see a lot of JavaScript-based…

Yesterday, easy running + hills (5 miles) Today 6.7 miles, mix of tempo and easy + strides. I've used Strava's premium training plans before, but I don't know that I followed them correctly. I'm trying to read up on established training workout methods (I've been reading Jack Daniels' Running Formula book) and how to best…

Tried to experiment with speed workouts (400m repeats) after my normal run. Didn't go so well, got chased and almost tripped by someone's dog. Back to the treadmill, I guess. 10/1 6.2 (6.2 MTD) 10/5 6.2 (12.4 MTD) 10/9 10.0 (22.4 MTD) 10/11 6.2 (28.8 MTD) Upcoming races: 9/10 - Louisville Pure Tap 5k 25:03 10/1 - Norton…

Was able to run today after taking some days off due to very bad foot pain (extensor tendonitis?) Hopefully it doesn't get worse. I think I made a mistake getting shoes that fit too tightly instead of being a little loose, but they've reached 400+ miles anyway so I'll just go shoe shopping soon and be more careful. @Orphia…

6.2 miles in Great Pumpkin 10k race today (chip time 51:12). I couldn't pull off negative splits, but I'm satisfied that I kept a relatively even pace and never pushed myself too hard into the nausea zone. My goal for this month is 125 miles. I don't have any high ambitions for the HM on the 22nd other than to finish it…

Just an easy run for about 40 min. today. I kind of wanted that Distance challenge badge on Strava, but couldn't reach 200km (~125mi) GPS-tracked distance. Probably better that I rested anyway, since my first 10k race is tomorrow morning. 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast.…

Finally, the weather has been excellent for running this week. Catching up on a lot of posts, I'll do my best. @Ohhim Sorry to hear about Boston. That's so frustrating! @skippygirlsmom I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. @ccontr11 Missing running time due to illness is so irritating, but hopefully you've…

Tried running a few different routes outside since the half-mile circumference park I run around gets a little repetitive. I haven't yet completed a single 90-minute long run this month, which is concerning since I have an upcoming HM. I'll try tomorrow, if I can beat the heat (RealFeel today was 90 F). 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3…

@RespectTheKitty I hated running with my old glasses because they'd keep sliding down my nose, so I'd usually just take them off beforehand. Though, without glasses at night I'd get disoriented and take wrong turns in the park, which was bad. I recently got new glasses (still plastic frames, but thinner and tighter) and…

5k on Saturday went okay, but I had a problem where I kept getting stuck behind full rows of walkers, and made myself sick running faster to try to make up for lost time. Ran easy 6.5 miles on Sunday. 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast. 9/4 6.3 miles 9/6 6.2 miles…

Felt extremely sick during yesterday's workout. I tried to compensate with a full length recovery run this evening (60 minutes instead of 30). 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast. 9/4 6.3 miles 9/6 6.2 miles (treadmill) 9/8 4.8 miles fartlek run on treadmill, felt sick after…

Sunday is supposed to be long run day. I didn't wake up in time to avoid the heat and felt sick, so I didn't push myself to the full time this week, but I did make sure to at least get in 6.3 miles. 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast. 9/4 6.3 miles @Orphia Thank you! I got…

I'm new to the group, only relatively new to running. I'm going to aim for 100 miles this month. Here is my progress so far: 9/1 6.3 miles 9/3 6.2 miles, split into two equal runs as I started out way too fast.

Attack on Titan is good, and the 1st OP for the anime has been one of my favorite workout jams since it came out. Feel free to add me as a friend on here, if you'd like.

My current rotation for the gym is Ajin, One-Punch Man, Erased, and Dimension W. Also, when I'm running at the park or a race, I have an anisong & soundtracks playlist on my phone for motivation.
