    Who is starting 2014 off with a run?

     


    Hip Redux

      Heading out in a few minutes to run a low key trail run - 6 hours, run the loop as many times as you want/can.  Aside from the feels like temps in the single digits and the fact that I really, really wanted to sleep in, should be fun.

        The track club has a 10k fun run this morning, but I'm not going to do it. I did my first run in a while last night, just 2.1 miles, and I found that I really lost some speed. My wind is way down - like 1:30 per mile slower than last year and I only ran 2.1 instead of the full 4.2 mile race.

         

        But it's coming back. There's no hurry.

         

        Happy New Year, All!

          Good morning Oski and Tom........looks like every one else is sleeping in this morning.

           

          enjoy the trail run Oski, you probably won't even feel the cold after a couple laps.

          Slow and easy is the only way to come back Tom. Hope it continues.

          No run planned for me today. I'm am planning on a trip to REI in St Louis with DW and  DS. He has had a gift card for a while he wants to spend. Then 4-6 inches of snow tonight.

            MtnBikerChk is!  Big grin  I will be joining her.  Good luck with your six hour run, Oski!

             

            Happy New Year, runners!  Looks like we'll be starting it with a foot of snow tonight.

             

            Anchorman 2 last night.  It was funny.  I laughed a lot.  I spent the last 30 minutes of the movie wondering what the hell they were smoking when they wrote it.

              As of last night at 11:05 p.m I am officially registered for the 2014 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon!!!!! Woohoo!!!! Now I've got 11 months to obsess over it and learn without injury Smile

              Right now, Rocky and I are headed out for a 7 miler......... it's supposed to be a progression run but I am not feeling 100% so we'll just go by feel today.

                    Oski - 6 hours in the cold doesn't sound so low-key, have fun and try to stay warm.

                     

                    Tom - yes, it will come back

                     

                    Sparker - have a safe drive

                     

                    Baboon - good luck with the snow flurry tonight tomorrow night

                      Happy New Year everyone!

                      Currently 10 degrees with a windchill of -2, and a bunch of new snow on the ground. Treadmill, anyone? Will hit it later at some point.

                       

                      Oski -  - good luck with that!

                          Similar temps on the east side but I hope there is not too much snow out there, I sure was not planning on a treadmill run today.  Guess I better go check...

                          Just B.S.


                            Happy 2014, we made it!

                             

                            Since the feels like temp is already at the predicted high for today of -22F and I cannot run until

                            tonight due to families New Year dinner today, my first run of this year will be on the mill.

                             

                            Today marks the start of concurrent full marathon and Half Iron training for hubby and I. Full is

                            May 11 Half Iron is July 5 and 3 or 4 other races  (5 k, 5  mile, two sprint tris) before and in between.

                             

                            Sort of proud of  my 52 yr old self who could not swim 50 yards exactly one year ago that 2,000 is

                            now normal  and I have paid for my first half iron race. Smile

                             

                            I never follow a formal  marathon plan but since I am a Half Iron first timer I am following a plan for

                            that and simply fitting in the same 35 mpw I ran twice this year for a 4:10 and 4:12 marathon. That

                            should get me to the start line of both racds ready and injury free.

                             

                            Best of luck to all in their 2014 endeavours!

                              Y'all are out ya damn minds if you thought I was doing all 6 hours!    1.5 hours for me, two loops.  The elevation was brutal -

                               

                               

                               

                              There is a hot shower in my immediate future.

                               


                              Mmmmm...beer

                                I am!  Just as soon as my breakfast settles, I'm gonna run, maybe at the lake. Smile

                                 

                                Good luck Oski!

                                 

                                Hope everyone has fantastic runs today!

                                 

                                I signed up for my marathon yesterday before the price hike, and then signed up for a 5k this morning that a friend is involved in, $20 New Year's special.  Nothing like starting the year with some race registrations. Smile

                                 

                                My first race of the year is on Saturday, a 10 miler that's part of the distance series that my club puts on to prep for the Shamrock Marathon.  There's a shorter series as well to prep for the half, I did that last year.  This year they decided to switch to miles instead of kilometers.  Last year it was 20/25/30k for the long series, this year it's 10/15/20 miles.  My plan is to race the 10 miler hard to see where my fitness is, then use the 15 and 20 milers as MP runs.

                                 

                                Hope everyone has a great day!
