This morning I was rolling in bed, couldn't sleep. Was 5:15 so I decided to get up. When I came to the computer it said 4:15. Completely forgot about that
So by 5 something I was on the road. Did 16 miles. My left hip was causing me problems. I used to swing my leg left and right when I had that before, but I tried something else today. I'd stop (leave the sidewalk and step on the grass) I'd jump sideways left and right as if I was jumping over a small object. 10 times and I'd hit the road again. That would fix the hip for a little while, then I'd have to stop and do it again. Overall I must have done this 10-12 times and then it didn't come back. I had run for about an hour then. So from then on, the rest was kind of a progression run, and finished with my last 3 miles at MP.
You Rang?
Ten Miles. So happy Daylight Savings Time is gone. I like to run in the morning. I don't like to run in the dark. In October, the sun rose so late in the morning, I found it challenging to get the midweek morning run in and still get to work by 9:00 am.

SRD. Maybe I'll start some active recovery tomorrow.
Gonna watch the NYCM until I fall back asleep.
Yeah being a morning runner my runs got to be ridiculous this past week where it was pitch black darkness. So on the one hand I am happy about it but hate that it gets dark earlier in the evenings.
Regarding the time change, so many of my devices changed on their own that I had to look at my wrist watch with manual hands to know what the hell was going on.
As it was I only had time for 4 stinking miles before class and not the 8 with tempo mile repeats mixed in as I had hoped, blah.
No thread to follow our racers? What's going on here?
From the Internet.
I know right? I came here expecting a stalking thread. Someone who is not on a mobile browser should get on that!
~3.25 windy and wet miles, chilling at work in dry clothes now with a muffin, a chai tea latte, and NO five-year-old to harass me and force me to share the muffin

'Morning! Yep, some nasty wind out there today. Since I am not running the NYCM, I got my lazy ass on a treadmill this morning. 8 mile shakeout. Now I've got my large Dunkin coffee and the marathon on the TV. Right now, I am doing A-OK.

10.5 today
11-12 miles today, an asthma attack and no medal. I am fine with it.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Between last week's MCM and this week's NYCM/Indy Monumental, I'm pretty freakin jealous of all the marathoning going on around here. Yeah, yeah, I know mine us coming up, but still.
Marathons are always the most fun when other people are running them.

Well so much for technology.
I had a great run today, probably the strongest run I have had all year. Did a 4 mile warm-up followed by 14.15 at GMP. The only problem is that when I got home and plugged my Garmin in, it made a strange beeping sound and deleted my entire run history. I remember the exact mileage but do not even have a clock time. Grrrr.
I only recall that the clock in the car was 8:45 a.m. when I got out and 11:54 a.m. when back so, so adjusting for the time it took to walk back/forth to the trail head, POP stop, and post-run cool-down, I guess that the entire 18.15 run took around 3 hours. I know my warm-up was around a 10:45 pace and, I was keeping my GMP pace under 10:00, except for two uphill miles (10:45 mile and 10:17-- I remember those splits). My last 6 miles after I got through the uphill section were my fastest miles -- all between 9:20 (I remember that split) and 9:50. I would guess I averaged somewhere around 9:45 or 9:50? Im pissed at Garmin right now. I'm kind of a numbers junky too, so it sucks not to have the break-down and be left guessing at my overall pace.
I'm still all over the place, too, on how I want to pace my marathon. I was hoping to draw some insights from the splits. Ack.
Life is good.
