chub - No worries to make up missed workouts. Think book shows you how to do it to get you back on track. i ran RnR USA last year. Not fun at Mile 13 watching 3/4 of field split off. 2nd half of course very desolate and heard course different this year especially starting on Mall now. Very hot last year and hurt my ankle early on in race and fell apart Mile 18 and gimped rest of the way. probably shoul;d of taken a DNF, but just not built that way. It's my PW 26.2. DW yelled at me when i got home though.

Jedi - doing Beginner's program for the RnR USA marathon on March 16. One of the runs I skipped was the 2nd 16 miler -- eep!! -- but I've been warned against making up workouts so often that trying to repeat it this weekend seems foolish. I'm back to my normal mileage now in any case.

 

Hey all,

Quick flyby. Got in 6 Tempo miles @ 8:08 avg. a bit uneven performance, but it's done. 10.35 total. Will be back for personals.

I was there! It's my second worst marathon time. 5:22 blah...

Ended up with only 5 at 11:13 pace. I guess I really was tired. Oh well.

Had a crumby day at work, and that spilled over into today's run, which is why the miles were so uneven. Had an 8:13 mile in there, but the effort was the same, so I'm not sure what happened... Any ways....

Indi, 0300?! That's the IndI I know and love!

CMB, im glad you've decided to stick around. Hopefully, we can help you through this injury...

Chuy, please tell me you and Sprink are talking about punctuation. Please, just say "yes."

Ami, sorry the ITBS is striking back. But I really think you should get Graston done by someone trained in Graston.

Akalei, you're gonna love Graston.

Onemile, love that valentine card.

Josh, that's GHmP + :15ish right now. Which means GHMP is 7:52ish. Im gonna do my first Strength workout at 7:42, and if i get immediate positive feedback, I'm gonna bring down my goal to 7:42, and the Strength down to 7:32.

Roll, killer workout! Yes, you are allowed to vomit or go into fetal position.

1 hour of elliptical and stretching at the gym this morning.  Had my sports doc appointment this afternoon.  He agrees it was probably an adhesion releasing last week.  He worked on the soreness which is now down in the lower leg.  Said it's not uncommon for an injury to manifest in other areas while healing.  I'm also to get back on the horse and run.  Same protocol.  Flat terrain, easy pace, and no more than an hour every other day.

Roll/cbus:  LRS called me today to let me know my shoes had arrived.  I'll be picking them up on Saturday and running on Sunday.

Sprinkles:  I know, right?  What's up with our bodies not listening to us??

cmb:  Good luck at the doctor!  Let us know what happens.

josh:  That sounds like a perfect 24 hours to me!

Happy Valentine's Day!

In Miami and for the last 2-3 years, yes.  It was in the 80s in January too...and December, and November, October, but not in September, August, July, and June, because that was in the 90s.  I have not see any 70s as a high in years.

Sprinkles - my period tends to impede my workouts, so I also +1 your comment! Wish you could just tell your ovaries to save the eggs for later.

Onemile - great to hear your hip is feeling better!

 

Cmb - Love your spirit. Helps me remain grateful too

 

Docket - a friend was chatting about moving to Atlanta GA, where she said the weather was "better," and I started gaping at her. To be fair, a New England winter isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I can't imagine living in that kind of heat and humidity! It usually isn't 80+F in February, right??

 

This morning I had a roll-out-of-bed-and-out-the-door run. The first mile was slow (11:03 or thereabouts) with every subsequent mile getting faster -- I don't have my Garmin on me, and I didn't get a chance to upload the run before I left for work, but the average pace ended up being about 10:05 over 8 miles! That's heartening.

 

I also wore those 1080v2's on this run, and I can definitely see what Cbus means by "stiff." The fit is good for my breadloaf feet though -- this is perhaps my first run in a while where my piggies didn't feel pinched, yay! -- so I'm going to hang on to them and see if it softens up or gets more flexible after a few more runs.

Hi all.  Sorry to be missing; work and life got in the way the last couple of days.  At least they got in the way of internet time.

URD yesterday from a combination of reasons, mostly my spacing out and forgetting to pack a pair of shorts to do a run at lunch.  But I did have two pair of socks and two shirts.  I discovered this odd packing job when I went down to change for the run.

Doubled today.  5.0 on the treadmill at the gym in the evening @ 8:57.  Lunch run of 4.3 @ 7:40.  No idea how I uncorked that, but it didn't feel all that difficult.  That's progress, I think.

I'll try to get to some personals if I have a bit of down time tomorrow, but if I don't, great running everyone!
