Hi.
HM training starts today with 6 easy miles + 8 strides. During this cycle I am going to do a lot of runs on the TM because I have been enjoying the gym and doing my core stuff. It just seems easier to do a run and core stuff in one visit. Plus, I think the TM is easier on my knee. At the minimum I will still do my Sunday LR outside.
That is all.
Good morning! I ran 15 miles. 2 miles WU, 5x1 @10k-ish and 1/2 mile recoveries, an easy 1.5, 0.8 mile w/350ft gain, and the last 3.5 @ MP. I am pleased. And, I am tired and hungry. I hope everyone has a great day!

15 with 5 at 10k paces and 3.5 at MP is a tough run. Nice.
Are we there, yet?
That happened to me once!! Well, twice. I stopped when it was mile two of a HM. But halfway through a 5K, no, I'm not stopping to tie my shoe!!It was the scariest race I've ever run in my life.
I lost a shoe in the first mile of a 5K because the mud we ran through sucked it off. I probably lost about 30-45 seconds between hopping on one foot to get my shoe and put it back on...and it was double knotted. That slowed me down getting it back on. I missed an award by one place.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K, 9:11:09 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
I single tie (knot?) my jogging shoes, but double tie my racing ones. Because you know THAT WOULD SUCK.
Racing shoes = jogging shoes, since typical race pace = jog.
Never had a lace issue in a race or training run. But one time I got a rock stuck in my shoe tread during a marathon. It was not big enough to cause a problem, except to make a clicking noise with every step. It was driving me crazy, but I was not going to stop and try to wedge that thing out. It was stuck there for probably 10-12 miles before finally working its way out.

Oh FFS. Hopefully that never happens to me. Although, I suppose if you run long enough, everything will!

I remember that story. It annoys me and it didn't even happen to me. lol

Cold, windy, and rainy. Yep, today is a good day for soup.

I love their salad. Toobad there were none near the Palm Beach Court cause now I have a craving.
I hate driving to WPB, BTW. It was 2 hours this morning and 1.5 hours just now.

The groundhog has spoken, I guess. 84F here, so I am not impressed.
Crap, that means it's coming my way.
I wonder why it is most storms blow from west to east.
