    Slow HM'ers

      Sounds like everyone is staying busy running, exercising, making cookies etc. Good times!

       

      I did 3.5 today in snowy sleeting mistyness.  It was 34 with a feels like temp of 28.  That's arctic for Alabama.  Honestly it was wonderful and I loved it.  The cold doesnt bother me at all but I do NOT LIKE GUSTY WINDS when its cold.  Legs feel good.

       

      I have a question for those who were injured (zelanie) and built back up, especially the ITB people... My HM is 13 weeks away and I need to build conservatively so as not to reinjure.  Am I basically screwed?  Especially if Im only starting back at 3- 3.5 every other day?  I was up to 20-24 miles/ wk with long runs of 7 to 8 miles  at my peak.

       

      Traci:  No plan for us either.   Just want to finish our HM in April and not stress out about it.

       

      First HM:           Covenant Health Knoxville HM 4/7/2013 2:24 

      Second HM:      North Shore HM, Highland Park, IL 6/2  2:20 

      Next HM:           Alexian Sunset HM, Hoffman Estates, IL 7/21

       

        Hey penguins, randomly checking in again.  I've not run for two weeks due to a back issue and was supposed to wait at least another week but my back has been feeling okay so I went out for a very slow mile.  Didn't want to push it so I did two miles on the elliptical when I got home.  Will have to build back up very slowly but I'll get there.  Hope everyone has had a good holiday season so far.  I know I have, more pleasant than years past, that's for sure.  I'm run/walking a 5k on Tuesday that includes a polar dive.  Did it last year and loved it.

        I may be slow but I never quit.
