Ran 10 easy miles yesterday. Probably not running today (I say that, but knowing me I'll be running tonight). Smile

Ran an easy 10 yesterday and 6 w/strides today. Interestingly, ran in shorts today. Got caught in rain, but fun nonetheless.

Day'Orest for me, and quite thankfully so as hard and cold as it is blowing out there today! It went from 47F when we left for church this morning to 32F when we came out of service and is still dropping I think. Wind chill would have to be in the single digits I would think. Glad you felt pretty good today, Ray. Again, I just don't know how you do it!

11 hilly miles for me today in the cold windy rain.

Well why didn't you show up earlier for our run together????? Tongue

Due to the weather I've had to take to some of the roads that are by Little Lehigh, which in turn added more hills Confused

Hope you"re really loving hills come next Nov Evil grin

Thank you ... but it really ain't all that. Due to my age, I try to run longer runs but include more rest days. Henceforth, a 24-26 mile long run for me is probably comparable to a 20-22 miler for those of you who run 6-7 days a week.

At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

Ugh - today was supposed to be an easy 9 miles for me. I decided my dog and I would try a new route - back roads and kinda rural. Well, around mile 3 we got chased by an off leash dog...after sprinting for about a mile I was zapped! So our pleasant 9 miler turned into a frantic 4 Sad

Nothing takes the fun out of running like having jelly fish legs from being frightened! On the brightside, I never knew I was capable of such a long sprint, lol!

Sounds like rgreen45 needs to get whacked upsida head for being too self-effacing. Revel in your accomplishments! (note example below) Ran 15 with my son rollerblading alongside me (he's 14)....a soft rain turned to in-our-face driving rain for the last few miles. Mile 2 we stopped to watch a large red-tailed hawk in a tree right by the bike trail...chowing down on a pigeon or other unidentified large prey. WOW! mcsolar -- I did a fast finish....EZ pace for 10 miles, then sub-9:00 pace for the last 5. I so rock! Big grin

You are a star in your own movie. Yes, you rock! When I first started running ('94), I had a girl 11 and a boy 8. They would ride their bikes with me while I ran. You need to revel in YOUR accomplishments. Enjoy the moments. Smile

At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

Got a late start (midnight), but got in my 30 min run/22 minute walk for a total of 3.1 miles. One more week before I start upping the amount of time on runs. Big grin
