I may have to boycott running tomorrow. Global Running Day? Seriously... can't they leave anything alone? I see this and picture thousands of wannabe runners singing "Cumbaya", holding hands and all crossing the finish line together so everyone feels like they won... lol... Yeah... I know... I am a cynical old b@stard....…

I continued to learn that I like being a zen runner... and that training for and finishing long races keeps me grounded. Well, that and bourbon.

The heat and humidity damn near killed me. But to quote AWOLNATION, "It's not supposed to be easy...that's why it feels so fcking good..."

I am feeling chagrined. Yesterday's trail run has left me tired, sore and beat up.... and it was only 9 miles. It was a more technical trail than what I usually run, with some steeper elevation (in terms of grade, not necessarily height) and it was close to 90 degrees, but I was not expecting to feel like this…

Go barefoot.

Good article from UltraRunning magazine on running in the heat... https://www.ultrarunning.com/featured/heat-stress/

@WhatMeRunning... compression shirts are what fixed it for me too... I always wear one for every run...

@MNLittleFinn... lmao @ you being old... I have a daughter older than you and gf who is younger... lol...
-
@7lenny7.... good report.... I love the trailrunning/ultra community...
-
@karlundy... you ran 11 miles 5 days ago... you are fine.
-
@MNLittleFinn... Maybe try these... Or do this....
-
Lol.... it does.... but I have dodged it for about 4 years...
-
Haha....that is why I don't run in cotton... first time that happened to me and I naively jumped into the shower, the F-bomb blew the lid off the neighborhood.

There is only Option A.... there is no Option B....lol... When it comes to water crossings and mud, the fastest and safest way is to go straight through them. The people that I have noticed who fall the most are the ones who try to negotiate water and mud in an effort to keep their footwear dry. Most good trail running…

Lol... I actually do run a number of miles barefoot... but just to be clear, I was not trying to spoof you or disrespect you. I have read your profile and I know you a really smart guy and there are quite a few people here that understand exactly what you were saying. I, on the other hand, am just a run-of-the-mill divorce…

In PoppetsMaster language, this translates into "Just put your shoes on and run and don't worry about anything else because it is rather confusing mishmash." P.S. -- I just checked and as I suspected. I have no microvascular peripheral flushing, and seem to have completely misplaced my peripheral vasoconstriction. Which…

Lol @7lenny7....like stop signs
-
Just do 10 miles... go for it! Live a little! These plans are holding you back! Don't analyze everything so much... lol... I can't begin to count the times when my "plan" called for 6 or 7 miles, I said screw it, I am going to effing run as much as damn well please... it is delightful and not one time has it ever caused me…
-
I don't like that much cushioning....
-
@7lenny7... I forgot about that one... lol... "Run away! Run away!"
-
Now that I said that, she is probably bringing this home...

Of course it does... it's bunny. Ain't no such thing as a macho bad-*kitten* man-rabbit...

My oldest daughter lives and works in Minneapolis... she loves it there and sends me cool pics of her running... she just did her first half up there on St. Patrick's Day...
