Treadmill workout at the gym after work. Planned on a slower steady pace and was tempted to increase at the end to finish up quicker, but didn’t change the speed setting. Aimed for 3, but pushed to 3.5. Tried for 4, but was too tired. Was happy with that and the week’s progress so far. Weight down from last week too! 1/1 -…

It was a swim meet weekend for our daughter, so when we got home both days took our dog out for a walk. Temp was great on Sat, but a bit windy on Sun so cut that one short. After work today did a treadmill run. Kept things interesting by doing an impromptu speed workout. Would bump it up and down every .25 and stretched it…

Yesterday I did a treadmill run at the Y and enjoyed a soak afterwards as legs were a bit heavy. I took my clothes with me to work with plans to run at the Y again today. I was pleasantly surprised when I got done that it was close to 40F out, so drove home and changed and ran outside. It was so nice to run outside and…

Ran here and there in December, but was consistently behind with keeping up with the thread so never got around to logging them. My goal for January is to keep up with cross training and run 3 days a week. That should put me around 40 miles if I do at least three miles each time. 2019 goals: Beat 2018 mileage of 508 miles…

I was struggling finding the motivation to run outside after being so cold at the Turkey Trot, so after getting nowhere I resumed running on the treadmill this week. Maybe I’ll get in some nice weekend runs this winter outside, but I know that I’ll be much more consistent if I plan my weeknight runs for the gym. I’m happy…

The last race in the wellness series that my husband and I were doing this year was the Turkey Trot. There’s a 5 mile and a 2 mile option for the Trot. The 2 mile option even has a dog walk. For the series we had to do the 5 mile as the other ones are not timed, so our daughter did the 2 mile with grandma and cousin. A…

Traveling for work so a couple unplanned rest days, but I was awake this morning before the alarm so used the treadmill at the hotel gym. I didn’t want to leave it for later when I got home later today. 10/10 - 3 miles 10/11 - XT 10/14 - 3 miles Total/Goal = 3/35 miles

@MegaMooseEsq - congrats on your new house!! It’s been almost two weeks since I had run the half at the end of Oct. I wasn’t planning on taking this much time off, but between work travel and an overall lack of motivation one week became two. I don’t really regret it as I figured out that I want to spend the off season…

@ContraryMaryMary - Great run, congrats on the PR. It was an inspiring read this morning before my race (due to the time difference). Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon Recap First half marathon in the books!! When I woke up this morning it was raining and 42F. I chose to do long socks, shorts, long sleeve shirt, and cheap…

@7lenny7 great job on your run, so inspiring and sorry to hear about your foot. @LaDispute57 I enjoyed reading your race report. Those hills are beasts and you have it one heck of an effort. @MegaMooseEsq nice job on your race Tonight was supposed to be four miles, but I’m a bit stiff yet from my run on Sun. I noticed my…

@MobyCarp - nice race and congrats on the age group award! The plan for the weekend was to get my last long run in before my half next weekend. Yesterday, it was soccer and during the game the wind got stronger and stronger. It was forecasted to be 30-40mph winds so not sure what it got to, but I was glad our daughter’s…

@Orphia and @Elise4270 it has been very inspiring and moving to follow along with the Run for Dennis project. It didn’t work out for my schedule, but I enjoyed reading everyone’s posts and seeing how it all came together. Thank you so much for all the work! Another windy run tonight, but it was in the 50F’s so that was…

Another breezy run during soccer practice, but thankfully it was warmer than yesterday. It was 55F and 17 mph, so felt a bit chilly at the start with the wind. Once I was away from the fields and onto the trail, the trees did a nice job blocking the wind. Plan called for 3, but decided to do 5 tonight as it was either…

Overcast skies, 39F, and wind 15 mph after work, but grabbed out long pants, long sleeve tech shirt (courtesy of Sat’s 5k), wind jacket, hat, and light gloves. First bit was right in the wind so that was cooler, but two miles in and the hat came off. The wind jacket was a bit much, but was happy to have tested out again in…

@shanaber so glad that you heard back about Hobbes, so happy that it is positive news!

I knew I had the race today, so I didn’t sign up for a slot on the run for Dennis. I’ll see how things go tomorrow as a few plans on the schedule. Run for the Hill of it 5k Recap This morning was the 6th run of a 7 run series. My husband and I have done all of them except for one that didn’t work with our daughter’s soccer…

@7lenny7 the flooded trail looked crazy and fun all at the same time! I think I would prefer that towards the end vs. the start though. The temperature is dropping off quickly here and we have freeze warning in place throughout tomorrow evening. The good news is that the 5k on Saturday starts at 9 am, so it will get a…

Soccer practice was cancelled just as we were getting ready to go, so we improvised and went to the gym. Husband wanted to swim and use the whirlpool, so I used the treadmill on one of the virtual settings. A little hill work and it was fast paced, but very warm there. 10/3 - 5 miles 10/5 - 5 miles 10/7 - 9 miles 10/9 - 5…

It was supposed to rain all day today, so brought my gear with me to work thinking I’d go to the gym if soccer was cancelled. Rain held off and the field was ok, so they had practice so husband and I ran on the trail. It was windy and starting to cool off, but I wanted to try out a wind jacket to see if I liked that paired…

@MegaMooseEsq - great job on your 10k and PR! @RunsOnEspresso - great 5k and PR! @kgirlhart - strong work on the PR and age group work! Going to take a moment before I continue reading, but so far looks like solid results on the races this weekend so congrats to all those that raced! I finally made it back outside today…

I’m off to a slow start this month as having difficulty with the weather. We’ve been cold and wet for a week+, so finding the motivation has been lackluster. I ran a couple times on the treadmill, but I need to get a run in outside in the low temperatures (well lower than these past summer months). I’m a bit sore this…

Thought I was having allergy problems on Mon as I couldn’t stop sneezing. It was a planned rest day anyway, so tried to go to bed early. By Tues midday I was battling a fever and other issues. Didn’t end up running until today. I decided to do my long run today as soccer tournament this weekend, so it will be easier…

I made my goal on today’s run and very happy that I finally made it! Legs were pretty tired going into it, so figured I would run nice and slow. Once I got going fell into a steady pace that was faster, but still felt pretty decent. Stretched after running, which I need to get better about doing! 9/1 - 4 miles 9/2 - 0 9/3…

@PastorVincent - nice race! @travelling_lots - I can’t imagine how scary that was for you and glad it turned out well @Avidkeo - I also have the Plantronics Backbeats. Had them for close to a year and really like how long they stay charged for. Also, still can hear the sound of cars coming up with both headphones in. I had…

Welcome to all the new posters! It’s always great reading the introductions. Tonight I chickened out and decided to go to the Y. The weather is turning so it was overcast, light rain (more like a drizzle), so rather than run the trail during practice talked my husband into going to the gym so we could use the hot tub.…

Unplanned rest day yesterday as after my daughter’s soccer game some storms rolled in. It was 91F and humid, so created quite the storms. Much cooler today (mid 60’s) and overcast, so a very nice run. Planned on four, but felt good at the turnaround point so added an extra mile. Likely pushed a little too much, but it felt…

By the lake this weekend, so got in a hilly run this morning. The typical route that I usually do is 4 miles, but I wanted to do 6 so ran past the two mile turnaround mark. It’s pure incline on this old stone bridge followed by a pretty good descent, so knew I was pretty much getting that beast on the way back. Made it…

Yesterday, when I had finished my run I had the brilliant thought to do some walking lunges. It took me until the afternoon to figure out why I was so sore. It took me a little bit to get started on the run, but once I got started I was afraid to stop as the muscles were loosening. I had hoped for two, but decided to keep…

@ContraryMaryMary Good luck, vote was casted! Wasn’t sure what I was going to run tonight during soccer practice. I started out aiming for three, but ended up going the extra mile. Practice is an hour and a half, so I had plenty of time. It took me a bit to get in a groove as I switched out my shoes with a pair with lower…

Thank you everyone for shout outs on the 5k race. I very much enjoyed reading everyone’s race reports from last weekend. I should have taken notes so I could give shoutouts too, but so many posts now! Very nice run during soccer practice. The trail was very dry and in great condition. Pace felt good on th way out, but…
