Sorry to have been really MIA. In short I effed up my leg pretty badly when some idiot almost hit me with his car as I ran highway home- my right calf was so bad it couldn't bare weight and my left hip flexor, which has been dodgy for a while, went full on. Had to stop running for a week to have a shot at being able to toe…

Congrats to all the HM champs! Nice @MNLittleFinn! @weat0043 no, not foot pain! The worst! Hang in <3 Love you guys, *kitten* hate taper. Tonight I ran to Walmart because Ben forgot stuff (road running though so I am not counting it for my purposes) and my easy effort on 5k split somehow came out to 21:37 :D . I only have…

February 1- 15+3 February 2- 17 February 3- 33 February 4- Off 68/550 608/6000 2018 Races *Gord's Frozen A** 50K, February 19 *JAJA Trail Marathon, April 1 *Red Deer Marathon, May 20 *Lone Wolf Last Man Standing Race, June 17 *Eddie's Half Marathon, June 24 *Lost Souls 100 Miler, September 7

We are getting it bad too. Still ran today, will still run in this shin deep *kitten* tomorrow. No one expect PR pacing from me though :D

Ugh of course sorry it's a trek @sarahthes, no pressure! Going to nail down the date tonight :) February 1- 15+3 February 2- 17 35/550 575/6000 2018 Races *Gord's Frozen A** 50K, February 19 *JAJA Trail Marathon, April 1 *Red Deer Marathon, May 20 *Lone Wolf Last Man Standing Race, June 17 *Eddie's Half Marathon, TBA June…

@juliet3455 Namao RR offered me March 5 or 12, still talking to Ben about scheduling. Lemme know boss! Re: Strava stranger danger discussion, this can all be avoided by not using it lol. It's buggy and awful for my phone so I see zero appeal in the thing personally. My children gave me precisely 11:57 before having…

Sorry to hear of your thyroid troubles being confirmed @girlinahat :( . Because of my piri, my shot to *kitten* knees and recently pulling my left hip flexor during speed work (though that is sorted now) I run basically everything on NSAIDs (Naproxen, label name in NA is Aleve). I actually have Naproxen timings built into…

Coming into February ready to (a) run Gord's 50k trail race for my birthday, (b) run 50k elite qualifying time at Gord's to get funding for Calgary 50k (c) run at least 550km on the month and not punk out like in January -_- and all while not bringing shame to my primary sponsor for the 2018 season, Salming Running North…

Missed the mark by 10k this month because I suck, haha! Too much going on between Ben being gone a lot and trying to hammer out agreements. See everybody in February- congrats to everyone that had their *kitten* more together than I did and met goal! January 1- 18 January 2- 20 January 3- 19 January 4- Ran but I'm not…

Driving home this morning from my MILs surprise party. Didn't even totally develop corneal frost bite :D January 1- 18 January 2- 20 January 3- 19 January 4- Ran but I'm not counting it because slow January 5- Off January 6- 62 January 7- 21 January 8- 18 January 9- 5 January 10- 16 January 11- Off January 12- 10 January…

Nice pace @MNLittleFinn! Just realized I'm an idiot and missed a whole day of mileage in there- knew my monthly didn't look right lol. Ran the provincial park trails by mom's for a quick 20, the run out to the park took me across my university campus. The priests still don't keep the sidewalk up :D January 1- 18 January 2-…

Way to go @AlphaHowls ! @7lenny7 the MFP phone app reply process peeves me off too -_- The fog was wicked this morning and even though it was only -20 my lashes were freezing together something fierce. In the car on the way to my mom's house now. Will probably run at the provincial park near her house in the AM. January 1-…

@juliet3455 a lot of the Edson crew did Robson last year- most suffered :D . Sadly I will likely still be out on course for Lost Souls on the 8th ;) Sorry to be AWOL, things are very busy over here atm January 1- 18 January 2- 20 January 3- 19 January 4- Ran but I'm not counting it because slow January 5- Off January 6- 62…

@Orphia as someone who trains to 100% distance I would only max my 50k training runs at three hours if I could run a 50k in three hours. I'm in the minority but I can't say I've heard much of a 3 hour cut off, its usually 20-25 mile max outs I hear of from people who don't go to 100%. Your plan sounds good! I personally do…

OP I am 99.9% sure I recognize you from one of the keto groups I mod for on Facebook (you've posted that bikini pic more than once). If you are who I am pretty sure you are you definitely have no room to lose weight, I thought you were going to work on recomping if I remember your last thread correctly?

@PastorVincent so sponsorship terms depend on who you sign with. Some cover race fees, some front your gear (if they are a sponsor that in fact produces gear that is), a lot will push events for elite bibs if you have the times to qualify, there are a few that will straight up pay you to rep them. Mine will be through a…

Sorry to only be catching up now, been an intense couple of days! @Orphia congrats on the secretary position and the pacing- busiest woman in the biz ;) @MobyCarp way to go Runner of the Year! @sarahthes the weather has been lit, hopefully you enjoyed your capri run! @MNLittleFinn I'm gonna have to stay on top of your blog…

Reg goes live for LSU tomorrow night!

The only Candi I know is short and very overweight. My name prejudices are for stripper names honestly. If I ever meet a Bambi who isn't a peeler I will be so pleasantly surprised You're like Dolly Parton's character in Steel Magnolias! "I haven't left the house without lycra on these thighs since I was 14." "That's…

@skippygirlsmom you two look so cute! @sarahthes I too found the wind chill to be deceptive this morning. Eyelashes froze over pretty good even though it couldn't have been colder than -20 :/ So my HR data is very strange lately. RHR in the low 30's (was 39-40 dead on for the longest time), running a 4'0" kilometre today…

@kgirlhart I'm with @PastorVincent on creating your own.

I have a lot of problems with Strava, most recently it half recording runs, dropping full sections of trail, reflecting inaccurate info all around and claiming to be connected to my Garmin still after it was disconnected. I have an email in to them but I'm just going to stick to Connect which is mostly correct (I am…

I'm always reading like a creeper, the only thing I can keep up with posting on consistently is the running challenge thread though haha. @MoHousdon When I went back on race cut I felt the same re: *kitten* my *kitten* macros. Do you still want to cut much more? My only real confession of late is that I am terrible at…

Would die without my microwave 100% . Yay for surprise ice cream though!

Great post @MNLittleFinn - the master of hills is coming for you Zumbro ;) @hanlonsk that is kind of classic...I might steal that for future PT lectures! So I'm still alive, just inundated with sick children and a disaster zone house and a husband who is on the road yet again. I should be doing dishes right now…

@MoHousdon That face is killing me :D

I run everything but races and the very rare night run fasted. Off my morning running I don't eat for 6-9 hours afterward because I'm too busy with my kids.

Running on a half hour of sleep sucks- shout out to our youngest girl :# @PastorVincent I dunno man, I think I'm with @girlinahat on this one. We know that you lose time the hotter it gets above a certain point but is there any data to prove the same is true for sub zero running (independent of environmental factors…

Girl you're pregnant, it's okay to chill! I can guarantee you I ran exactly 0 anything's in any of my pregnancies- so you are beating the hell out of pregnant JessicaMcB :D #survivemama #itoolikeimaginaryhashtags
