    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.

          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

                    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.

                        Crap, that means it's coming my way.

                         

                        I wonder why it is most storms blow from west to east.

                          Just a couple hours north of here they are predicting large amounts of snow.
