IMP, who lives near me, used to start these on RW forum. I wonder if they knew about the move before the shutdown. If you didn't check RW for a week, you were greeted with the news that it's dead and gone and would have no idea where everyone went.

Wed afternoon I fell while running for the first time in a long time (years?). I was running one of my regular sections of the Appalachian Trail and tripped and fell hard, bruising my left hand. Then Thurs morn I was running the same section and fell twice. All three falls were the same situation: I was trying to run fast, was on a gradual downhill on a not particularly gnarly section, let my guard down and tripped on a rock or root.

I've almost fallen a million times, but can't remember the last time I actually went down. I almost never try to run fast on trails. I guess in regular running I'm able to catch myself but these times was going too fast to correct it. I did set a PR on that section yesterday in spite of the falls. Actually, the first one yesterday I did a forward roll and popped up without losing momentum. Tore my right palm up pretty bad on the first fall yesterday and drove some stones and dirt into the cut on the second fall, but other than some minor bruising on my hip and shoulder, sore palms, and a skinned knee, nothing too bad.

Funny thing is last week I kept forgetting to bring my trail shoes home from the office and ran on the AT each morning in my Hoka Bondi and was just fine. Then I put on the trail shoes and fall three times.

No running today but I do hit the weights. Will have to tape up the palms and see how that affects lifting.

Took the day off from work. Had plans for a Yasso 800s workout today.

In the middle of the night I woke up to go to the washroom. Heard a suspicious noise down stairs. The hot water tank was leaking. GDI. Shut it down, picked up most of the water on the floor, and went back to bed. Guess what I'll be doing today 

Good morning, hope you’re all well.   6 for me & finishing up my last big week of marathon training.   Taper starts next week!

I've got an easy run after work.  I've got my first truly long run in a year this weekend.  I can't decide if I should do it tomorrow in awesome running weather but on tired legs after yesterday's run, or do it Sunday on slightly more rested legs but in warm, humid, windy, and rainy weather.  My PLAN says to do it Sunday, but Coach always says to move stuff around if weather is an issue.

If it's an easy paced LR, I would just keep it as is but if it involves faster running, move it

Puh 8k and I am tired. Third quality session for the week. 2x 1 mile at tempo pace and 4× 200/200 at repitition pace. Am done for the week. LR on Sunday (my running weeks start on Sundays). Have a nice run today everyone

Ate & drank too much last night at a business dinner, didn't get home till 11. Woke up 10 min before my 4:45 alarm anyway, and went out and destroyed my tempo. I guess I found the magic formula. 8 miles w/4 continuous. Way too fast for tempo, but just felt like it. I haven't actually raced since Labor Day, so my body was itching for it. My body should be careful what it wishes for, in 9 days it will be very sorry.
