07/04 - 3 mile Interval, Back & Core 08/04 - sort of day off - only a 4.2 mile run after watching F1 09/04 - post-F1 8 mile run, cut short by shopping delivery (was supposed to be 10 miler) Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route -…

So that is why Forest Gump started running ...

05/04 - 3.3 mile midweek run, followed with Shoulders Biceps and Core workout 06/04 - 7.7 mile run, not the most inspired, as it took a while to get into the rhythm Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route - attempt 1 ) - 1:54:02 •…

I have decided to go for the tapering, but making it one week instead of the suggested 2 weeks. I have adjusted my monthly goal to 150mile, and see where I end up 04/04 - 7.7 mile run - Dreieich Day 1- 3 days running the same route Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half…

I find if you kill them they cannot give you compliments, but they cannot bother you anymore either ....

... oh and the other thing which probably gives you compliments all the time are your cloth-sizes ... and they are completely unbiassed

Here you go - You are doing a sterling job, well done you - I do not even charge (the first time :) )

... or, if it is just a thread i.e. "April Run challenge" you just start replying in there

02/04 - 4.2 mile (34:01), followed with 3 mile Interval, Chest, Triceps & Core Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route - attempt 1 ) - 1:54:02 • 25/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route - attempt 2 ) - 1:53:53 Coming up: •…

@HonuNui - shocking, hope you beat the odds and come back with a vengeance

01/04 - 8 miles in - April 0-miles off the board, the bunny is off its mark, just hope I have the right brand of batteries to keep it going Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route - attempt 1 ) - 1:54:02 • 25/03 - TM Half Marathon…

Exactly, I am Captain Slow anyway, so I see it as an event rather than a race, we'll see how the month goes ... good thing is that my HM is in the home of the Red Bull, so bet there are some red cloth available ... and this is not called a Challenge for nothing ....

So, I have just been reminded that April has a day less, with my first HM on the 1st of May, that I need to taper the last week etc, which looks most definitely like attempts to either update (downgrade) my goal or challenge my challenge ... my response: bull and red cloth ... steam coming from my nose .... Geronimo :p…

Last day - 5.2 mile speed training, followed with Interval & Core Grand total for March: 178.5 miles massive 50 miles over my original goal of 125 miles, but I appear not to be able to deal with Challenges very well in general :( ... let's see what April brings, where I have raised my goal to 200 miles ... doh Daily…

Going to regret this, but aiming high ... in for 200 miles for April

@dkabambe - Deferring the event is probably the wise decision - just join me with the Windsor HM - time enough to get your calf healed and ready :)

Ansolutely, but like mentioned, consult physician ... and ... go to a good running shop for getting the right shoes. They will do a gait-assessment. Nothing worse than running on the wrong shoes, that will spoil the whole experience

penultimate day ... almost Christmas again ... time flies 30/03 - Caveman workout - 3 mile Interval, Shoulders & Core Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route - attempt 1 ) - 1:54:02 • 25/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM…

congratz, hooked ... I had a time where I had to run, but not because i enjoyed it, but changing shoes, and seeming to have found my pace changed the whole mindset ... hook line and sinker ...

@ddmom0811 - Sorry about your saddle sore, but got visuals now where during your commando run you have to tie your shoe laces .... or running over a Marilyn Monroe vent ... or ... loads of pictures in my head ... hope you are better before saturday

@ddmom0811 - well, obviously this was a very slow cyclist, as I only did 7 miles per hour, but it was nice to (be able) to use him as a pacer ... it was still dark though, so he might have been half asleep

27/03 - 3 mile Interval, Chest, Triceps & Core workout 28 /03 - 7.7 mile pace run, perfect pace and HR, first 4 miles @8:45, then used a cyclist as pacer, and then overtook him for the kill, he almost toppled of his bike :) … I think my TM has helped me getting my perfect pace, as I can go with this for hours ..... I might…

26/03 - 6.2 miles - darn, this was supposed to be a 3 mile recovery run, as I was a bit stiff from yesterday. Gorgeous weather, perfect pace and HR, and a perfect start to the F1 season decided different, 6.2 miles, avg pace 8:45. and felt I could go forever ... looks like I am getting there - 5 weeks till my first HM, am…

25/03 - MK HM attempt 2 on my TM - 13.16mile @ 1:53:53 - 5 weeks to go, Sub-2hr time should be possible Very close to my running target for the month :) ... not certain if I would make that Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half Marathon (plugged in the MK HM route -…

23/03 - Enforced day off for travel and meetings ... work should not get in the way of my workouts .... :( 24/03 - 4.2 mile "steady paced" run (even on a TM I want to run faster than I should), followed with 1.5 mile Interval & Core Completed • 11/03 - 10K Run The Solar System (thanks for the tip) - 52:01 • 12/03 - TM Half…

Tell that to my better half ... I beg to disagree
