Didn't get around to come by again until now. @ddmom0811 Yes, the run I will do on Thanksgiving day is timed. It was also the first 5k I ever run back in 2014. @_nikkiwolf_ Thanks for your advice! @ariceroni Thanks for your suggestions! I am afraid I may not have access to a track... Maybe I can simulate 400m repeats with…

I'm sorry for not being able to keep up with the posts... Just 3 days into the month, feeling a bit late for setting goals :sweat_smile: Last month I ran 82 miles according to Strava but the month has 5 weekends (5 long runs). For November, I am thinking 80. Question: I have a 5k race on Thanksgiving day and I want to give…

My goal for this month was 60 miles, which I set to keep myself running during the week. And I just found out that I already hit it this past weekend. Just thought I would pop in and report :) 10/1: 7.1 10/3: 3.1 10/5: 3.5 10/7: 7 10/8: 4.7 10/10: 3 10/12: 4 10/14: 3.3 10/15: 8.1 10/17: 3.1 10/19: 5.2 10/21: 1.9 10/22: 7.2…

I have been rather lazy this year and haven't showed up in here for a long time. Just want to pop back in here to say hi and put in my goal for October. 60 miles should not be too much a stretch but yet keep me running during the week :grin: Upcoming race: 11/23 Thank you Run (5k) 12/16 San Diego Holiday Half ( @shanaber,…

@7lenny7 They gave those out for people who picked up their race packet the day before. My husband and I just decided to keep those in our hiking bags for unexpected circumstances. They also gave out a pair of gloves which was nice, if only I remembered to wear them :grin:

Thanks, @skippygirlsmom . Pictures were taken by my husband. It could be so annoying at the moment but I've got to appreciate it more. @shanaber Thanks! And yes, my quads hurt too but it was more towards the side, so I was not sure if they were the IT bands or quads. I do usually get more DOMS like feeling on my quads from…

I have not come on this thread since my sister visited me earlier around Thanksgiving. I didn't run while she was here and I missed my November goal by a lot. Then, I did not set a goal for this month... It was good that I registered for a race and get to meet with @shanaber. Otherwise, I am not sure how long I would be…

I will run a very local 5k race on Thanksgiving Day with family and friends. Two years ago, it was the very first race I registered to mark the finish of the C25k program (or to make sure I finish C25k). Last year, we started to run that course with family and friends and we ran that race together. This year, a group of us…

@MobyCarp Thanks for the advice. It is my goal to run those hills for my long runs too. Right now, I am building mileage with increasing long run distances. Maybe I can increase the distance one week and then keep the distance and run those elevations the next. I actually bookmarked a neighborhood route that cover 13 miles…

Thanks @lporter229 @greenolivetree and @Stoshew71 I guess I want to make sure I am on the right track. I picked a path that cover almost 300 ft elevation in about 1.5 miles to run frequently so I can feel comfortable with that (both HM I ran earlier cover that kind of elevation). In fact, it is quite difficult to find a…

@_nikkiwolf_ That ticker is really pretty. Can't help but try to get one for myself :) It is my official "I miss snow" ticker :smiley: I also can only swim in breaststroke and struggle swimming free-style. I thought about taking an adult class but the time didn't work for me. I also thought about participating in a local…

Date .. Miles .. Total 11/01 .. 05.6 .. 05.6 Made it to run on the first day of the month :) Seeing @HonuNui's goal, I checked my yearly mileage. Today it hit 650 miles. If I ran as planned in November and December, I should be around 850. Perhaps, I can set my yearly goal at 1000 miles for 2017.

Woke up to put in my goal for the month and see 100+ posts already... Last month I ran 90. With my sister visiting and the Thanksgiving break, I will set a modest increase at 100. Another goal is to run a HM distance long run this month. The last few weeks, I unintentionally kept my weekly miles more or less constant (at…

@_nikkiwolf_ Congrats on the Full! I enjoyed reading your race report and thanks for sharing the experience! @RespectTheKitty congrats on the 8.2-mile run. Just want to quickly report that I think I ran 90 miles this month, 15 pass goal. Ran 3.1 miles on Saturday with group. As in most Saturdays, I ran with my 7-year-old…

@MNLittleFinn Good to know that I am not the only one... @Elise4270 I tend to tilt my pelvic the wrong way too... So, I guess that adds to the posture problem. @Stoshew71 Thanks again! Definitely different things hurt over time too. But I guess I do a little bit of the "push off from just your toes" thing. Time for me to…

On the subject of running mechanics, I have been trying to run more straight, and avoid leaning my body forward at at the hip. And I feel my calves a lot more in this newer position, is this pretty normal?

@_nikkiwolf_ I don't know when I missed the post, didn't know that you have a full marathon coming. Best of luck! @BeeerRunner I was going to say the same thing, and I almost thought you really meant they let you in at 29!

@Stoshew71 Thank you sooo much for taking the time to answer my question! Your 2nd response explains a lot why the beginning of the run is always easy. That's how I feel. And to make pacing more difficult, my neighborhood run usually begins with a short downhill followed by an uphill stretch :sweat_smile: Referring to your…

@Stoshew71 I was hoping "breathing rates" would mean something more systematic, like how many breaths you take in a minute that I could count :sweat_smile: My struggle with conversational/singing pace is that, there are long sentences and short sentences and there are people who sings with only breathing at the end of a…

@Stoshew71 How do you go by breathing rates to track if you are going above or below VT? I don't have a HRM so I thought having one will help me make sure my easy run truly easy with some objective data instead of going by feel which could be mask by how I feel emotionally.
