Gooood Morning peeps,
Whole new month! Perfect for me to start building up my fitness level again
Did 3.1 kms on the TM today. I know, that's not much but I didn't want to overdo it. Plus I kinda spent too much time on the internet this morning and just ran out of time
We were rather quiet last week. Let's be a mind more vocal this week.
Everyone have a great day and a most excellent workout.
DutchieRun the day, or the day runs you.
Dog-Love
I have been traveling a lot lately but today was able to get a wonderful run in in Berkeley. Ran from my mom's house to the Strawberry Canyon Fire trail (my absolute favorite running spot in Berkeley) and although the hills were tough after not running much...it sure felt good. I got to run in DC also last week and mostly just looked around the area while I ran. Fun.
I am sort of inspired by the NYC marathon and might try to sign up for the lottery for next year.
Imminent Catastrophe
I was at mile 25 in Central Park watching, and that was just incredibly inspiring! Do enter the lottery, I'm a three-time loser so I'm guaranteed entry next year, and I can't wait. Hope to see you there!

3 kilometer very easy run on the TM again:
1 kilometer@9K
1 min walkbreak
repeat 2x
Felt good, though I'm definitely still not fit.
Knee hurt so bad during the night it woke me up. When I got up and moved around it felt fine. Third time that's happened. Figure it must be the lateral stress on the knee while I sleep that causes it. Did an easy 4+ with no problems.

Another short TM run for me. This time I did Runerval 1.0 by Coach Troy. He says Base Pace + 3mph, but that's way too fast for me. So I did 9.5K for the faster intervals. Tomorrow will be a rest day. Or maybe I'll do strength?
1 min @ 9.5K (BP+3mph) } repeat 4x 1 min @ 9.0K (BP) } 1 min walkbreak (recovery pace) repeat interval set 1 min @ 9.0K + 2% incline } repeat with 3%, 4% and 5% incline 1 min @ 9.0K (BP) } 2min walkbreak (recovery pace) 45 sec @ 9.5K + 3% (BP + 3mph+ 3%) } repeat once 45 sec @ 9.0K (BP) } 5 min cool down
Buckeye-I'm running Rocket City too, in about the same goal time. See you there!
Awesome .. Maybe we can log some miles together!
Been gaining on you YTD miles, but I hope you are getting healthy enough to hold me off ... For a while anyways
This morning it was endurance strength training: 20min LB, 38 min UB and 10 min abs. And now I have to run errands.
Crabby: I won't hit 2000K this year again too. Maybe next year
