6.12 miles last night. It really felt like a slog, but was surprised to learn that it was one of my fastest runs for the year. My fastest mile was 5. I was, at that point, had lost my focus but the soreness that I usually feel in my right hip had vanished and probably was running a little faster at that point. No rain…

My goal is 50 miles for the month. I have been running but not posting lately. The weather has been beautiful lately. I had hoped to run at least 3 times this week. It is supposed to rain tomorrow but I am going to run anyway. The last 2 half marathons I ran were both rainy...so I can run it....its mind over matter. I am…

With regard to racing shirts, I have a couple of long sleeved shirts that I wear under scrubs. It is so cold in the hospital. I have another one which is super ugly that I wear to fix breakfast....in case grease gets spattered on it. The short sleeved ones I wear during my runs or walks and sometimes in the race itself. I…

So I am going to try to get 50 miles this month. I had a good start, running 6.25 miles today, mainly focused on staying relaxed and focusing on the music on my mp3 player. It was 48 degrees....so I wore a light coat and there were some cool head winds. My main problem has been starting late in the day and it getting dark…

@AlphaHowls I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I will be sending prayers for you and your family. Wow! Have you really been taking care of her since 2007? That's a really, really long time. @quilteryoyo When I read your story about all the wood that you cut and hauled and stored, and then mowed 2 yards, I felt…

Goal is 50 miles for the month of October. So on Monday, I had a dental appointment for cleaning and x-rays.(Must be the time of year for everyone to see the dentist.) My husband also had an appointment and usually we ride together, but I told him that I wanted to run afterward and so we drove separately. There was a new…

So...way behind on keeping up on this site...as usual. I am on page13. Will try to catch up on my lunch break. Yesterday I closed on my house (selling). I have a lot of mixed feelings but realize that it is best. I haven't lived in it for a while. I owned it before I got married. As I was entering the title office, I saw a…

1st post for October.....my goal is 50 miles for the month. So I was slated to run a half marathon on October 2nd. However i woke up Friday morning vomiting. I am still not sure why. My husband and I thought that i would be too dehydrated to run a half without getting into trouble. So for the first time, i was a Did not…

Hi everyone, Crazy weekend at work. I am going back in tonight. My husband just told me that they are deploying the National Guard to our hospital tonight. My plan was to run 7 miles last night. I was really fatigued from working my shifts. I usually just blow it off when I feel bleh, but talked myself into running at…

Beautiful day to run last night. Temperature was low 60 degrees with a slight breeze. I ran 4.15 miles and ran 23 seconds per mile faster than the last time I ran. I tried to tempo run but in reality, I ran faster after the first mile, which always sucks and just tried to run evenly. I noted that I wasn't leg weary but my…

Congratulations on completing your first marathon. So excited for you! Did you have fun? I have run at least 1 half marathon since 2014 until 2020. My last half was November 2019. I remember being very sick the week prior to the race ( I think that I had covid then....Lol) Also remember that it was cold and raining for the…

So I signed up for a half marathon before i knew that i would sprain my toes, get covid, and getting very close to selling our 2nd house. 10 more days. So on Tuesday I ran 5.57 miles. It was 76 degrees with 86% humidity. Again the first mile sucked. I glanced at my watch to see how far i ran, before it became more…

First post on the monthly running forum since January 2020. I hope to be back for good. Have i missed anything? My goal is to use these final 2 weeks to prep for a half marathon that i am not prepared for at all. 3 weeks ago i got covid and last week i started running continuously. By the way i forgot about how much the…

Not really for breakfast, but I love cottage cheese on a hot baked potato and sprinkle a little pepper on top. It sounds gross, but it is so good!

I am posting my goals for 50 (and I mean it this time) miles. January 1.....4.14 miles....Really nice weather but late start. Ran on the path next to the river. It felt good to get started again. January 2...6.02 miles....50 degrees outside. Run was on the Monon trail...my usual running spot. Most of it was in the dark due…

So if it is a combination of things that you log all of the time...you could put it in under recipe and give it a name, like Loring's salad. I have done it with tuna salad...rather than log bread, tuna, pickle, etc.

Hi everyone, Just needed a break from running/exercising. Now I am ready to get into it. Over the weekend, I was working on CPR re-certification (for my job) and did get most of it done except for skills demonstration, which I will do tomorrow night. I am amazed how much better I feel after getting this dreaded task done…

Happy Holidays, everyone. I am kind of in a mental fog and just not able to make myself run or do any exercise. I know that I feel significantly better after a run. Not sure, why I am not able to get passed it. I still have to finish out November but my miles were logged on fitbit and the app is down. Ed, my husband,…

1st time posting for November. (Only 440 posts behind) My goal this month will be 50 miles, the same as last month. I raced in the Monumental Half yesterday. Will post a race report in a couple of days. Congrats to all who raced this weekend. Total...13.1 miles Goal...50 miles.

I have a half marathon planned for November 9th. The weather has finally been cooler. I achieved my goal last month of 25 miles; shortened goal due to being on vacation for 2 weeks. My new goal for this month is 50 miles. I think that it is an attainable goal. 10/4......7.05 miles. 10/6.....6.01 miles. 10/7....2.03 miles.…

I haven't read any September posts yet. Any chance I get caught up before the end of the month? I have been on vacation since August 31st. My husband and I drove to Yellowstone National Park from Indiana. So lots of sitting in the car. My husband hurt his knee several weeks prior to our vacation. He was able to drive but…

eggs and zucchini!
