Those same password rules are becoming more common, which now that I have the foundation for it already, I don't mind it as much.
I must have missed it as well.

I work in IT, and was a security specialist for a few years before I went back to programming. What I hate about policies like the one you enforce(and most available, for that matter) is that I like pass phrases that are mathematically much stronger than what you require, and yet won't meet your policy requirements. Example: "I love running because it is cool". Mathematically very very very strong (33 characters long) I will not forget it (So I won't write it down and leave the post-it under my keyboard) No special character, no numbers (fail) So what do I do when I need to meet requirements like the one you suggest? I come up with a pattern to re-use passwords, put the special characters in easy to remember places, do the "usual" permutations of numbers for letters (replace o with 0, e with 3, a with 4...) and in the end my passwords are weaker than if you let me do my own thing. But I do understand that these policies are not meant for people like me, but for people who would choose 'flower' if there were no policies.

Great post.

Were there jeans for real? I ask because INKnBURN has a denim selection of running gear and some do look like real jeans, LOL. Weird woman.
I considered this so I got a good look. They were jeans. They were even making a swooshy rubbing sound.
I use Daniels training paces for T and VO2 max intervals. Those are based off his VDOT chart, which are derived from a race performance. For where I was, the pace for a workout of 1200s could be near 10k, or as fast as 5k, but never half marathon pace as Daniels does not include that in his training pace tree.

Gotcha. I've never hit 5K pace on a 1200.

I've never hit 5K pace on a 1200.
Run enough of them at 1k and the transition is relatively easy, but there are worse things...
Like running it for 5 kilometers.
I ran 8.5 very slow, cautious, slick as owl-shit miles. All the slipping and sliding made my feet and legs feel like I ran twice that.
Ripping my adductor off the bone is what frightens me most about running in the dark. There is less than an inch of snow on the ground, but you just don't know what's underneath it. If I guess wrong while landing on the wrong leg, it's over.
Yes, this is a problem when you're registered on 19 million sites and they all have their own rules for passwords.
This is my biggest problem too. ughhh.
May do a few miles later after work. Have a good day.

I ran a mile at "5k pace" last night. There is no way I can run 3 of them in a row at that pace.
We usually don't. In most instances, there's either a buildup or drop off where 5k pace during the race is concerned. The last mile of my 5k PR was the fastest for instance, but that's not always the case. There are other factors that play a role in that; course, conditions, fitness, GOING OUT TOO FAST, etcetera, etcetera...
But in order to do that, you have to run some segments faster than goal pace.
So speaking of races, the course for my 10K this Saturday has changed, reverting back to the "old" course. It's the exact same route as my 10K two weeks ago but starts with the uphill at mile 2.5 below. I've never done a race that starts with a straight uphill shot. I guess on one hand it'll be good to get the uphills out of the way early, but I need to be careful not to blow my legs ups for the rest of the race. The last 1.5 miles will make for a screaming finish if I can keep things in check.
race obsessed
Last nights workout - was possibly the toughest 1 mile pressure run I have ever done.
20x100 - full pressure + 1 mile full pressure. *full pressure is defined as: run as fast as you can without straining (ie: not race pace - but fast)
The mile was... tough... "I want to quit" tough.
So, its not just me... lack of acknowledgement in return just torqs you off? Yeah... me too. If I take the effort to acknowledge you the least you can do is nod back.
"Course over the years of running know, I can almost predict who will or won't. Typically I see two runner types that won't. (this is a generalization as as per the rule... )
1. Lady - way overweight - youngish - alone
In my mind they are self conscious and don't want anyone looking at them. As a glance is likely taken as critical.
2. Lady - fit - youngish - alone
In my mind also - likely paranoid about being hit on.
What evs... as I said, I have gotten pretty good at predicting and don't have time or energy to let it piss me off.
That is never the problem I have... at least not for the first half dozen. I can do short distance repeats. Its the long tempo / long HMP runs that beat my ass...
Oof!Yeah if you can control your pace on the uphill and then capitalize on that 3.4 - 5.2mile segment downhill you should be good to go. And dominate anyone that goes out to fast.
I'm feeling my workout. Turns out 3 minutes easy between intervals was maybe a bit much, but not by a lot (if too much).
My footpod says I was hitting 1270-1280 meters/5 minutes, but it was recording a bit long (about 200 meters for a 190 m lap), so my guess is I was pretty much doing 1200s in 5 minutes.
A lot of good discussion today!
I am home sick. I have like the most miserable cold ever. I may try to run a little anyway, since that usually seems to clear up my sinuses. But if this cold moves into my lungs and starts giving me a cough and breathing problems, I am going to be pissed. And even more miserable.
I used to always see a guy on my regular morning route running in jeans. Sometimes you see that and it turns out it's just someone in a hurry to get somewhere, but he was definitely just out for a run. Weird outside, but even weirder on the track.
Out on the road, I always greet other runners with "Morning" (usually it is); some respond cheerfully, some respond grudgingly, some completely ignore. I don't say a damn thing to the cyclists, and they do the same. One morning a cyclist greeted me with a very cheerful "Good morning" as she passed; I didn't get a good look at her but thought it was bizarre. Later at work a coworker said to me "did you see me on my bike this morning?". That restored my faith in the animosity of the runner-cyclist relationship.
I hate all the IT password Nazis. I know they are just doing their job, but their job annoys me. Serious question: aren't most data breaches due to things other than figuring out people's passwords? I don't really know how these things work. But my main beef is applying the highest level of security to a system that does not really need to be that secure. One thing if you are working for the US Military, but why the hell does my RWOL password have to have any rules?
And I'm not really sure what my 5k pace is. Actually I am pretty sure what it is, but would like to be able to test it on a flat course to see if it can be better. I just can't find any around here ffs. My track intervals up to 1200m on a good day end up being a fair bit faster than 5k PR pace. (I haven't done 1-mile intervals in a while, because they suck.)

The super-hilly 5k I ran last month finished with a very steep downhill. It was actually pretty rough - I felt I had to sort of put on the brakes to avoid taking a face plant, but my legs were so fatigued at that point it was really hard to control. It was just some very awkward running for that stretch.
