Wow! I am so behind on this thread. I'm sure there's a lot of race reports to catch up on. My first 5k (in awhile) is this Thursday. It's an evening race. Should I have a strategy for running this week? My plan was to do a long run today (probably 4 miles) and maybe a shorter run on Tuesday or Wednesday. What do the…

Beautiful 4 mile run at one of the county parks this morning. It's starting to get hot here. The 15 day forecast is all 70s/80s. Thankfully the park I ran at was well shaded. It was a very nice run.

4.3 miles done. It was rough, because it's hot out, and I really had to go to the bathroom. Ha! It happens, right?

Thanks for all the hugs, prayers, and good thoughts for my dad. His surgery went great. No run for me today, I'm going to get some strength training and yoga in, though.

2.5 miles this morning. Had to destress. My dad is having surgery this morning to remove a cancerous tumor from his small bowel. If you're the praying type, please send a prayer up for him.

Got a 5k in this morning. Congrats to all those who ran this past weekend! You guys are all beasts! I enjoyed reading the race reports. Great job!

2.8 miles done. Guys! I was under a 10 minute mile today. It felt really good to hear that on runkeeper. I did a little bit of speedwork. I was running around a half mile loop for my run this morning, and there was a slight incline (I live in Charleston, SC, so there's really no hills) that I would speed up for, and then I…

2.7 mile run today with a 30 lb preschooler in the stroller. That made it tough. I try not to run with them, because it's hard! It was also a lot warmer out than I thought. Whew! I got it done, though.

I also ran the CRBR on Saturday! I live in the Charleston area, and this was not my first time running it. It sounds like you came in from out of town to run? It is a very large race and very crowded. I actually thought it was better planned than previous years, but I definitely agree that it's a lot of people, especially…

Here's my updated mileage for the weekend. I'm taking a few days off to rest.

So I think things went pretty well on my 10k today, considering I'm not quite done with my c25k plan. My legs are sore, though. I ran most of it, with a few walking breaks. All of my splits were under 12 minutes, and a couple were under 11. Whoot! I'll update my tracker later.

@PastorVincent I like that plan too. I haven't run a full 10k in awhile, but I'm feeling pretty strong. I think I can run a good portion of it. It's a pretty easy course. I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow!

@girlinahat That sounds like a great plan. Thanks for the input. We'll see how it goes.

So... Tomorrow I'm running a 10k for my dad. He was supposed to run/walk it but is in the hospital. I've only trained for my 5k using c25k, and I still have a week left until I'm done with that. I used to actually be an avid runner, so I've ran this 10k before. What should my strategy be? I was thinking since I'm almost…

2.1 miles done in the mountains. It was tough! I admire anyone who lives in the mountains and runs these hills everyday! It was not an easy run, but I did it!

I'm continuing to get stronger everyday with running, but I still want to be kind of conservative with my goal. I'm a fairly new runner, so I'm going for 30 miles this months. Got 2.7 in today. Off to a good start for April!

Run if you have a cold? Yes or no? I'm debating. I leave on vacation tomorrow (where I'm planning to run). Just not feeling great today.

I'm right there with you! Just finishing up c25k. I haven't made a goal yet, but I'm really enjoying this group.

A little over 2 miles today. My last run of March. Feeling pretty good and getting much stronger.

I made it to my March goal! 2.8 miles this morning, and it was a beautiful morning to run...45° and a big, beautiful moon to follow. Under 12 min/mile average pace. What running app does everyone use? I've always used runkeeper, but is there a better app out there?

Just under 3 miles today, and I was under a 12 min/mile pace when I was running. Almost to my March goal. Feeling good!

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! @RunsOnEspresso it is hot and humid here, so I'm dealing with both. :neutral:

I'm looking for some suggestions for a couple of questions I have. I'm a fairly new runner, although I have run in the past. My longest distance is a 10k. I don't think I'll ever be a half marathon/marathon runner. Anyways, I've been doing the c25k training program. I'll be done with that in early April, but I don't plan…

Hard 1.5 miles today.

2.5 mile run/walk completed. It felt good!

6 miles this weekend combined. Today was a little rough, because it was pretty hot. But still a good weekend!

Ran 2.5 miles this morning, 12 min/mile pace. Pretty good!

Ran 2.3 miles today. It was HOT where I live. I'm not ready for this summer weather.

Anyone know why my ticker is only showing 4 miles? It should say 6 miles. The image when I copy the URL is 6, and that's what I have in the current cumulative value box.

Had a good 2 mile run/walk from c25k today.
