@ContraryMaryMary I once had something similar happen where I started driving! while my watch was still recording and didn’t realise until I got to the next km. I was able to go back in Garmin and Strava and edit the run. I just cropped off that part. I don’t know if it would work in your case, but might be worth a try :).…

@ContraryMaryMary I like winter wonderland! @John772016 I think I need to keep my eye out for nein orange shorts! With all these black shorts I just can’t seem to get my speed up ;). Today I did 2 runs. The first 2.5km was with my 10 year old, who is still working like crazy on his 6 pack…. It was nice and he could out…

Hi everyone, Haven’t had a lot of time to post, but just caught up reading everyone’s posts! I’ve been on Long Island, NY for about a week now. I used to come here every year as a kid but haven’t been since before I had kids. My brother lives here now, and my parents are here so lots of family time :). I have never run…

Hi everyone! No motivation this morning, so it’s makes it even sweeter that I managed 10.2k on the treadmill. I had to stop briefly to take a phone call mid-run (from the police no less) other than that the treadmill is usually completely uneventful ;). 60.2/270km for July.

Today easy 9.4 km. 50/270km for July.

@AlphaHowls I am so sorry for your loss!!! I’m thinking of you and your mom!

Hi everyone! I am now ready to make my first July post. I’m again aiming for 270. Probably not realistic, as I’m heading for New York in a little over a week. I am planning on running (and doing a 5k) while I’m there. 1.7. 10.3k treadmill 2.7 1.2k + 5.3k City Race! It was soooo hot 🔥. I ran with an ice cube filled scarf in…

Hi Everyone! I know I’m late to post but time has been flying. I finished June behind my goal 227.6/270. I had a lot of work and child commitments which (especially the child ones) take precedent. I’m happy to have gotten within “striking” distance of my goal.

@AlphaHowls I am so sorry to hear about your aunt! @Mari33a I am very sorry for your loss as well! @daria0919 I hope your husband is doing well! @Teresa502 I see you were at Neuschwanstein :)! I hope you are enjoying the Alps! @SummerSkier I am sorry to hear that you are still on the mend. I hope you can get back to…

Hi everyone! I haven’t been posting lately but I have been running. I feel like I am as busy now as I am getting ready for Christmas with the end of the semester, end of the school year, and loads of social engagements and appointments. The running is going well and I am doing my best to get out as often and far as I can.…

Hi everyone! Just got a quick 6km run in this morning while my son was swimming. 57.8/270km for June @tarun_yadavA Great unplanned half. It’s always fun when you have unexpected long runs :). @ContraryMaryMary You did great! Maybe you’ll get that PR next week! Great job all if you streakers ;)! That’s very impressive!

Hi everyone, I ran 10.1km on the treadmill this morning and then did a bit of weight lifting. 51.8/270km for June.

Hi everyone! I got in a successful tempo run on the treadmill this morning with 5x 5 minute intervals. I ran a total of 11.7km. @daria0919 I am glad your husband is doing well post surgery! So sorry to hear about your foot! I hope you make a speedy recovery! @SummerSkier I hope your injury is improving and you can get at…

Hi everyone! Got in 10.2km this morning. It was a nice run on the old train track route I haven’t done in awhile. Tomorrow, no running, I took the day off work and am going to the Hannover Zoo with my daughter and all of the other second graders at her school ;). 30/270km for June!

Hi everyone! I am going for 270km or more this month including more speed work in preparation of our highly competitive city 5km next month (not that I will be in with the competition- there are soooo many speedy runners around here). Today I went on a 9.1km run during my daughter’s swim lesson. I started off way too slow,…

@SummerSkier I hope your ankle is feeling better! @WarmJellyfish That sounds like a really tough race! Over heating is not good! I hope you have recovered now! I can imagine running in those temperatures with no heat training is very difficult on your body, and that was no short race! @martaindale I also have been cutting…

Hi everyone! I didn’t have a chance to post my final runs yet. The kids and life have been keeping me busy! I was hoping to run Friday, but we were gone all day visiting the VW Autostadt “museum” and shopping, so at least I did get a lot of walking in. On Saturday, I ran while my son was at his swim lesson. It’s a bit less…

Hello Everyone! I tried “boyfriend” pace this morning, but was still a bit too quick ;). It was fun. I was however reminded of my last HM, where I was struggling to keep up with the 2 hour pacer, and there was a girl and boy - early 20s - chatting to each other next to me the entire time like we were all on a leisurely…

Hi everyone! Just finished catching up with the posts. For all those who are hopelessly stuck in km math, like myself, boyfriend pace is about 7:30/km :). @swenson19d It sounds like you have been through a lot!!!! I’m really sorry to hear that! @John772016 and @WarmJellyfish You guys have nasty accidents! @chris_in_cal…

Hi everyone! @tarun_yadavA Happy belated birthday!! @kgirlhart Congrats on the new job! I am really happy for you! I hope you really enjoy the rest of your off-time before you start! Today I had my 2x half marathon of the month. I was able to arrange for my 5 year old to sleep at a friend’s house to make it possible. It…

@kgirlhart That does sound stressful. I’m guessing you had to walk then? Glad to hear the interview went well. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. @WarmJellyfish Nice pictures! That looks like a great trip. Sorry about your streak. Loading/unloading boats in the rain doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun. I had 10x 30 minute…

Hi everyone! I have 2 runs to post. Yesterday I ran 8.3km while my daughter was at her swim lesson. Today I ran 16.1km as my final long run before my next HM. I am quite sceptical about getting a PR, as the weather will most likely be too warm for me, but I’ll give it my best. I’ll be forcing myself to taper the rest of…

Hi everyone, Yesterday I had a really hard interval run at the gym. 15x 1 min, 1 minute easy pace in between. That workout always tests my resolve. It is definitely a workout I would NOT recommend for a run date :). I ran 11km. The afternoon was filled with lots of 10 year old boys on bikes, with various types of balls,…

Hi everyone, I have been super busy with life, kids, work, home renovation disasters, and squeezing runs in when I can. On Monday I had to register my son for his next school which ate up all the time I had planned for my run, but was obviously more important :). Tuesday I ran 15.1km. It was nice to be out for so long.…

Hi everyone! I ran Monday, but just an easy 3.2km, because I was meeting a friend at the gym. I only felt slightly sore after the HM. The fact that I don’t feel tired from the race and my daughter led me to sign up for a second, flatter HM race at the end of the month. Maybe this time I can PR (if it is not too hot!). If…

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the good luck wishes! I had a really nice race and was very very happy with it, even though it wasn’t a PB. I was about 1.5 minutes off there ;). I think what I wanted most was to have fun and run under 2 hours, which I did. The course has some hills and rolling elevation, which I really felt in…

Hi everyone! my goal for May is 270km. I’m hoping to up my mileage again this month and also want to get back to strength training regularly. Because of my HM tomorrow, I went on an easy 3.5km run today. Yesterday was a rest day and on the first I ran 5.1km. That brings me to 8.6km/270km. Fingers crossed I can PR…

Hi everyone! I am hopelessly behind reading and posting, (and mileage), but I would like to finish a post for the remaining day of April. I have been backing off mileage, because I am running a HM in my city on Sunday. I now do feel completely recovered from my marathon at the beginning of the month, but that took me…

Hi everyone, I got in 7.6km today. It wasn’t an easy one but the weather was nice. 102.4/300km for April.

Hi everyone, Still feeling quite weak, but ran 10.3km. I hope I feel stronger again soon. I am supposed to run our local HM at the beginning of April, but can’t imagine doing any speed/tempo workouts this week as preparation. Still in recovery mode. Perfect spring t-shirt/shorts weather. @SummerSkier That’s awful about the…
