April Weekly Miles GOAL: 140 miles 04/06 - 04/13 - 04/20 - 04/27 - 04/30 - TOTAL: 0.00 miles April has 1 less weekend than March did, so even though I was well over my goal last month, I'm going keep it at 140... also, will have a taper week next week and a recovery week the following week, so I'm sure my mileage will be…

My previous 10K PR was 52:01 and I felt I could slide in under 50 minutes. I knew the race ended on an incline…

The only negative was that a new pair of New Balance shoes of a different model than I have used before, has been causing some blisters on my instep/arch.…

Ummm... What jury summons? I don't think I received that... Must have been lost in the mail...

March Weekly Miles GOAL: 140 miles 03/02 - 13.25 03/09 - 03/16 - 03/23 - 03/30 - 03/31 - TOTAL: 13.25 miles Thanks all for the kudos on my half marathon race! I usually like to preview a race course sometime before actually running the race, but in this case, I think I would have been overwhelmed with the hills and then…

I know many of you saw my post on Strava, but posting here for more detail... Yesterday I completed my 4th half marathon and was able to trip 20 seconds off my PR time on a really difficult course. Was a crisp 22 degrees at gun time with a light wind. I lined up with my training buddy from our running club who is a bit…

Thank you @Elise4270 --- Zazzle says it is a private design (maybe that is why you said it won't work...). All good... My DW probably doesn't think I need another running shirt right now anyway. Lol.

March Weekly Miles GOAL: 140 miles 03/02 - 03/09 - 03/16 - 03/23 - 03/30 - 03/31 - TOTAL: 00.00 miles I finished February with 132.33 miles on a goal of 130, so looks like my planning was pretty accurate.

I have 4 half marathons starting the 1st weekend in March that are ~ a month apart, so my goal is to stay injury free. I am hopeful to PR in at least 1 of them and would ultimately like to get a sub-1:50 finish... current PR is 1:53:39. I don't recall if I have said here before, but I spent most of my youth in MN playing…

My wife had surgery last Friday and we expected a 1…

@Elise4270 had some good questions and advice. I will add that foam rolling can be a great benefit or grab a tennis ball to pinpoint where that pain is at to really massage that. Flossing can also be good, but I feel like you really need to know what you're doing with that. For my hips, I also like doing the pigeon yoga…

February Weekly Miles GOAL: 130 miles 02/02 - 02/09 - 02/16 - 02/23 - 02/28 - TOTAL: 000.00 miles I barely squeaked in my goal last month... just over 142 miles for a goal of 140. This month I will peak the first couple of weeks, then a small taper before my HM race the 1st Sat of March. This week I was able to manage a…
