Yo.

Yep. Same plan over here.
Run to live; live to run
Rest day. Pouring like crazy and tornado watches. I debated if rest would be today or tomorrow. Today won.

Morning! Pilates and weights after work but I'll try to run to and from Pilates if I get the time.

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.

Good morning, Jolly Runners of Festive Cheer! No running for me today, which is very, very unfortunate. Stupid recovery weeks. Bunch of reindeer scat, I tell ya whut. I plan on hitting the gym though to pick stuff up and put stuff down.
Heh.

What up all? Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays
I haven't ran since Saturday, my calves and ankles (or lower legs period) have been bugging me for about 3 weeks now and this past Saturday I decided to take a few days off from running hoping it will help. I am contemplating taking the rest of December off and starting 2015 strong and healthy.... though it's hard because I am 8 miles from 100 miles and haven't been under 100 miles in almost a year..... so it's really bugging me to not be out there and to be ending 2014 like this BUT I got to keep telling myself it is far better to start the new year strong and healthy rather than with any overuse injuries lurking underneath just waiting to show their ugly faces either as I start building my weekly mileage to 50+ or during my 2nd marathon training cycle (starts in July) so I am going to keep repeating that to myself, so please help me realize this logic and agree with what my brain is telling me to do.

5k - 24:15 (7:49 min/mile pace)
10k - 51:47 (8:16 min/mile pace)
15k -1:18:09 (8:24 min/mile pace)
13.1 - 1:53:12 (8:39 min/mile pace)
26:2 - 4:14:55 (9:44 min/mile)
BUT I got to keep telling myself it is far better to start the new year strong and healthy rather than with any overuse injuries lurking underneath just waiting to show their ugly faces...

It is 46 degrees out but grey with just a bit of a chill in the air, otherwise known as tights weather.

I am off work for the next 5 days...yay!
I don't like cold weather and so I think Mother Nature hates me:
So once more of braving the wind! Of course, nothing like what you "real winter' folks experience, but considering it was 70 flippin' degrees on Monday, this is quite a temp drop for us here. Oh, and I am wearing shorts for my run today, with a base layer shirt and a second shirt over that.

Jealous of your weather, Scotty. 87F down here and it's not even the high.
Lol it is my mantra this week, along with "christmas is almost over, almost." Lol
From the Internet.
Rest day - I opted to sleep in, I have a bunch of stuff to do before we go to the in-laws' house so no time to run. Sleep is important. I will have time to run tomorrow.
I jogged to the track, did 2 x 10 minutes at tempo pace while there, then jogged home.
12 miles in the cold rain. Not perfect but it is better than running when it's -20 degrees or 100 degrees.
Baboon, rest weeks will be over in no time. Then, you'll have a well rested body to do hard workouts.
FreeSoul, our minds are stuck on numbers (less than 100 in this case) but staying healthy is the most important thing. There are still seven days left in 2014. Who knows? Maybe by the 30th or 31st you'll feel perfectly fine. And if it's only on the 6th, that's that.
Scotty, you're a real stud to withstand polar temperatures like that
D, extremes are never fun, cold or hot, and I'm not sure which one I prefer for running.
Lauren, sleep is important. I agree, and I've heard that Baboon thinks that way too.

Language! Better behave if you want Santa to stop by later.
