I may run this evening. It depends on several things coming together, and those don't look good. My quads are a little sore today anyway. So a rest day may be good.
QOTD: I know it is winter and all, but what is the appropriate action if bitten by a rattlesnake or other poisonous snake when you are several miles from a vehicle in rugged terrain?
I am not sure. I guess you should move slowly as quickly as possible to get out and hope for the best. But there must be some protocol that would be advised by experts. I just don't know what it might be.

Just got back from a 10 miler down to the beach. My turnover was a bit slow because I've done too much speed work this week. Gotta take advantage of it when I'm on flat ground at sea level.
I'm very happy to have been selected to run for Team Aravaipa in 2014. They have a great race team and I think we'll have a lot of fun. Plus...it takes care of a lot of my race fees for next year. Between that and my sponsors, I won't have many expenses for next year.
QOTD: Bend over, stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
Going to do about 5 after work today. I think we're supposed to get close to 80* today. But it's supposed to cool off for the Coyote 100 next weekend so that's good.
LB2: hope everything aligns and you can get out later. But rest is also good, I took yesterday off. I think that was my first weekend day off in a long long time. Felt good.
lace_up: You're supposed to be tapering... congrats on the Team Aravaipa gig.
qotd: I think I remember from my Boy Scout days that you are supposed to make a tourniquet... but lace-Up's advice is probably more realistic.

Did 5ish last night and plan on 5ish on some hilly trails later.
Kelly, congrats on the new team!
QOTD I'm not really sure but might help to pour water over it, also think I read somewhere u should walk not run after snakebite because running pump more blood faster. However i'll also wait for an expert!
Morning,
I'm planning on running to the bank and back during lunch. Probably will get in around 5 miles. I am still in a post-race funk but I think that will go away with a few more runs this week.
QOTD: I have no idea.

I can't seem to force myself up before 5 lately, not sure but I know I don't want to really run in the dark right now..... and I don't know why. Thanks to not getting up until 5:30, Rocky and I didn't get to the trails until 6:20 and we only had time for 4.3 miles as I have to get back to the house by or before 7:30. Surprisingly it was an enjoyable run, fast too which I wasn't expecting with the soreness I've been feeling. I am going to stretch and foam roll today just to get rid of as much soreness and tightness as I can. Tomorrow Rocky and I have another 1 mile to run as part of our Running Streak - so far I am on track!
qotd: I don't think I've got anything to worry about where I live and run, they're pretty rare here.

Le professeur de trail
I've run once in the 2+ weeks since Stone Mill. I have been sick sick sick. I haven't been this sick in years...possibly not since before I started running in 2008. I have been eating Ibuprfen like candy to deal with an aweful throat pain. As a result I apparently did not realize that I hurt my left knee at Stone Mill. But I think it's a nice case of tendonitis. So even when I get healthy (fingers crossed that is soon), not sure what kind of running I can do. So basically this all just sucks.
QOTD: see above...
Have a great day!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
Morning! Got in a quick treadmill run and a strength workout at the gym last night. younger DS promised he'd go for a run tonight with me, so it might be a two parter-- 2 miles with him, 4 solo. We'll see. Weather's nice in these parts. Need to take advantage of it and get the garden cleaned up and bulbs planted.
Jamie-- that's a long illness. Have you gone in for a strep test? (see 'awful sore throat')
have a good day, trailers!

Good morning all. I got in a paltry mile in the neighborhood this morning as part of my holiday running streak. It's not much, but it counts, and it's a mile more than I would have ordinarily done on a dark Monday morning with cold, slushy rain coming down.
QOTD: I have no idea. If I had my phone, I'd lay down and call for help. If I was with someone, I'd lay down and wait for them to get help. If I was all alone and had no phone, I'd try to make it to some help, but might die trying I guess. If I could quickly kill the snake & bring it with me for identification, I might do that. But, I don't know what the correct answer is. This is just what I'd imagine I would do.

Opening day of deer season, so looks like road running for the next week or so. Short run planned at lunch break.
QOTD: See mtwarden. Only thing I cold add would be research what snakes are in the area before you go out. We only have timber rattlers and copperheads The rattlers area at least kind enough to announce their presence. They say most bites in PA are dry bites, but I don't wish to test that theory out.

No but I know it's not strep. I have lots of experience in the past and can tell the difference. Having said that...it is taking too long. But yesterday and today I feel semi normal. Thanks for asking .

Afternoon all,
I'm going to make more of an effort to post my daily plan so that I have a little accountability.
I plan on running a nice and easy 4-6 miles this evening. Quads are a little sore from running a 5k on Saturday.
According to Fedex tracking my bike rollers (ride in place!) arrived today, so I'm sure I will be messing around with that and trying not to break the house.
Boyjame: Have you tried tylenol sore throat (liquid stuff)? I swear by it...instant relief. It's just ibuprofen, but relieves right away.
QOTD: Call someone from my cell phone? "Remote" is not near me so I don't sweat stuff like that. I do carry a good amount of first aid supplies when I'm going anywhere hydration pack worthy.
**Ask me about streaking**
If you've never spent much time on rollers, you should definitely get somebody to make a video of you when you first get on them.
