4.3 mi/9:53 mi pace. spent way to long at Comcast and ran late, and it's still like 90 degrees here. first mile was fast, so i decided to make it a tempo run and kept up a fast pace for me through the whole run. will skip speedwork tomorrow and just try a nice, easy run. Kristina, if I don't get on before this weekend,…

I have never done one, but this year, they are doing the Denver Half & Full Marathon which I'm registered for. I ran the Denver Half in 2008, so I'm familiar with the course, but I'm looking forward to seeing what RnR does at a race.

Hi everyone...including all the new people! So glad you're helping make this thread so busy! Yesterdays run was 5.66 at 10:35/mi pace. Plus, I was up at Red Rocks for a concert, so there was a lot of hiking and dancing. Today I'm doing some stretching and some upper body weights if i can fit it all in. My kids only have a…

11.05 miles at 10:42/mi pace. welcome Tammy, glad you joined us here. Great job everyone.

I love Hot & Sour Soup and got this from A Year of Crockpotting. I sometimes add baby corn or other veggies. Very easy and very yummy. Crockpot Hot and Sour Soup --1 cup cubed firm tofu --2 cups chicken broth --2 cups water --1 package of sliced mushrooms --1 can bamboo shoots --1 can sliced water chestnuts --2 tablespoon…

Great job! Don't forget to post a race report! I love reading how everyone's races go.

Woohoo! Able to post my run today :) 5.8 mi speedwork tm 1 mi w/u @ 5.5 mph 6x400 @ 6.4 mph 2x400 @ 7mph 4x400 @ 6.8 mph 1 mi c/d @ 5.8 mph recoveries @ 4mph, 45-75 seconds. .4 mi walk @ 4mph I am always so happy when speedwork is done!

Hi everyone! I have internet at home today, so I'm hoping the problems are resolved and i can be back to posting and logging. Yesterday, I ran 5.15 at 10:40 pace. today is speedwork, and hopefully, I'll be back to log about it. Chris, welcome! Congrats on your successes so far. Most half marathon plans are 12 weeks long,…

Wow, I'm posting 2 days in a row from the library, lol. 5.04 miles at 10:10/mi pace. Kind of relieved because my knee and hip were bothering me after Sunday's long run. I wore my pat strap today and planned on only running 3.5-4 miles, but everything felt good, so i kept going. I actually was running much faster than i…

Hi Kristina, good to see you. glad your running is going well. Ok, my advice. Register for the half. You will be able to do it. Even if your longest run before the half is 10 miles, come race day, adrenalin will carry you very far. And as far as running slow...so what? Yeah, I wish i could run seven minute miles but even…

I do a bit of walking for cardio cross training and occassionally get on my bicycle. I try to lift weights 2x a week and usually do a P90X workout (Chest and Back X, Back & Bi's X or Shoulders, Bi's and Tris X) or a combination of 2 P90X upper body workouts. I've been slacking on lower body weights just because i'm running…

ok, playing catch up here. wednesday was speedwork and i think i got 5.78 miles done total. thursday Back and Biceps X Friday: Ran 5 miles @ 10:20 pace saturday, walked 30 minutes, plus used the foam roller alot. And today, ran 9.15 miles in 1:32 I'll be at the library on tuesday after my run so I can do a little more…

Hi everyone. Lost my internet connection at home so I haven't been able to log in all weekend. I'm at the library now. Hopefully, I'll get this all straightened out, otherwise, I'll be posting from here or McD's (*joke*) or anywhere i can find free WiFi. Sunday, I ran 5.65 on the tm and then today I ran 5 miles @ 10:25…

6.85 mi, 10:29 mi/pace + .7 mi walk c/d on my schedule, Sunday's run is supposed to be a 10K race. I'm not racing, and I didn't want to do a longer run on the tm on Sunday, so I made today my sixish mile run and then Sunday, I'll run 4-5 on the tm before going out with my kids. I tried to make it like it was race…

Cross train day for me. Walking about a mile and then doing weights, since i've been slacking. I'm figuring about 45 min Upper Body + Back. having internet problems at home again, so I'm posting from the library. Hope it resolves itself soon...don't want to lose my streak here on MFP.

Nice job!

Great job getting your long run out of the way Victoria! Good luck on your 10K this weekend.

5.25 mi speedwork 1 mi w/u @ 5.5 mph 2x400 @ 6.4mph 2x400 @ 6.5 mph 4x400 @ 6.8 mph 2x400 @ 7.2 mph 1 mi c/d @ 5.8 mph recoveries betw 40 sec - 1 min @ 4mph. Very tough today. The last 2 at 7.2mph nearly killed me. I usually jump on the tm right after i take the kids to school, but errands got in the way, then i got a call…

Bump! Looks fantastic. I'm going to try and knock it down a bit in calories and fat using skim milk and/or rf cheese.

welcome! Glad you've joined us here. I added you :)

Where is everybody???? 4.35 mi at 10:11 pace. Little bit cooler, and happy to do a shorter run today.

8.15 mi at 10:40 pace. At least that's done with. left a little afte 7 am and it was already getting warm out. Heading up to the massage school to get a massage from a student. they're running a special for $20 for 50 minutes and my legs are screaming for some TLC, lol. have a great day. Good run Victoria! Jen, hope your…

Well, it's more that i really don't like running in the afternoon. and having to do it on the treadmill kinda adds insult to injury, lol. I prefer to run earlier in the day, but right now, my schedule doesn't let me get out much before 9:30 am. If i'm not back by 11ish, I'm already running in the high 70s, low 80s. Now…

Happy Friday everyone! What are your plans for the weekend? Shout out to Jennifer who's getting MARRIED this weekend :heart: and RUNNING a 10K on her wedding day! :drinker: Nothing much going on here this weekend. After being a crazy lady the past two weekends (Mile Hi Music Fest and then the Warrior Dash), I'm going to do…

OK, here's my race report (warning....LONG) So, I suckered a (non-running) friend to do this race with me at Copper Mountain. It was the fuzzy viking helmets that convinced us to register. And the beer. The shirt and medals were just bonus. You'd think that someone who has averaged close to 25 miles a week running this…

5.45 mi run today. I switched my regular run and speedwork/tempo run days this week by doing a tempo run yesterday. Which made my easy run much harder today, lol. I can't really complain, because i was shooting for 11 min miles and came in at an avg of 10:40/mi. But, my legs will be toast until Friday. Curlytop, i don't…
