@MobyCarp I am sorry to hear about your injury. Wishing you a fast recovery! Looks like there are many of you are from PA! I just recently moved to Gettysburg, so far I enjoy this area. No run for me today, but I did have a great strength training session. Goal: 120 Currently: 69 8/1 - 6 miles 8/2 - 0, strength training…

@skippygirlsmom I'm running faster now than I did in my "prebaby time", which is strange. Back in my twenties I ran a lot faster - sustained 8:25/mile for a full marathon - but that era has been long forgotten :no_mouth: All good, right now my goal is to just keep running. Any pace increase is just an auxiliary benefit.…

Today I did not feel like running, but did it anyway and it was amazing! My pace is slowly increasing and it is getting easier to go up the hills. Will be pushing a 10 miler this weekend, right after my rest day. Goal: 120 Currently: 61 8/1 - 6 miles 8/2 - 0, strength training 8/3 - 8 miles 8/4 - 0, rest day 8/5 - 7 miles…

@MNLittleFinn and @kristinegift - I am on the same page with you two when it comes to running in the heat - not my cup of tea, never was, never will be. I learned a long time ago that my running performance is severely damaged by hot and humid weather. If I had to choose running in the hear or pouring rain, the later would…

@MobyCarp thanks for your reply. That rack is awesome, I might put it on my birthday/Christmas wish so other people can get it for me. Lots of good info about becoming a pacer, so thanks for that too! It is something I was always wondering about and thinking I could do it, half-marathon pacing for sure. Few days ago I got…

@allyphoe @zdyb23456 @wishiwasarunner thanks for your replies. I have been running for roughly 12 years and always fasted (unless it's a 26.2/13.1 race). I never get hungry or thirsty during my runs, always replenish my fluids and food right after though. But this morning I was starving around mile 7 - it really caught me…

Hello all, I have done this challenge back in 2014-2015. I'll skip the "nobody-cares-why-i-was-absent-for-2-years" story and just run, occasionally posting my reports with not-so-funny remarks and comments. So, my goal for August is 120 miles. Goal: 120 Currently: 27 8/1 - 6 miles 8/2 - 0, strength training 8/3 - 8 miles…

7/1 = 5 miles 7/2 = 6 miles @ 6 weeks postpartum! 7/3 = weight training in the morning, 4 miles stroller walk 7/4 = Rest day, holiday dinner with the family and a very cranky baby. Add a dog terrified by the fireworks, shaking, panting and salivating on my bed, and you get the whole picture of my 4th of July night. Breath…

@skippygirlsmom I love the picture of Skip and the puppy!!! <3 Your girl is so beautiful and that dog is too cute.

Hello again, everyone! I have been absent recently, since my baby girl had to have a surgery. She had an inguinal hernia on each side and was operated on this Monday. I never knew my heart would ache so much :( Seeing my 8 weeks old baby coming out of anesthesia was the most nerve wrecking experience I have yet to have.…

@7lenny7 I have been rotating 2-3 pairs of running shoes: Brooks Ghost 6, Saucony Guide, Brooks Ghost 7. When it comes to replacing a pair, I personally go by their approximate mileage (around 500 miles) and by feel. For example, my Ghost 6 probably have less than 500 miles, but they are definitely not suited for running…

@skippygirlsmom I admire you for running on a dreadmill in these conditions... I have to literally convince myself to run inside my perfect, brand new, well-equipped, perfectly air-conditioned wonderful sports center. Nope nope nope- outside runs is where Im happy. But a run is a run!!!
