1 year, 1000 miles (Page 10)

Ya, sounds good. It all adds up. BP is 6 days, but there is no NEED to take a day off. You won't have any problem building distance. Just remember, it isn't about getting through the run, it's about getting through the week. Take it easy when you need to.

I am no expert but it looks like you have been keeping it pretty much the same day after day. 
After 37 straight days of running it might be okay to through in 2 or 3 400 meter repeats or 5 minute at your 10k pace (unless you are always running at your 10k pace).  Then go a bit slower the next day.   Very often I will be out running for 30-40 minutes, slowly, feeling like poo, as you say, and then meet up with a buddy and drop the pace by a min a mile and feel awesome.

Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the waaaaaaaaabit.

Still lurking here, despite not yet back to running.  Looks like everyone is doing great! 

Well I did find those pics yesterday, but figured I would hold off on posting them for a couple of months

Oh and then there was the Were Rabbit from Wallace and Grommit!!! 

ahhhh, yes.  I have recently developed this aversion to morning runs as well.  Not sure why I developed this stiffness.  I did stop my evening yoga practice in November but I can't remember if the stiffness started then or before then.  Anyways, I just started the yoga at night again so I will find out if it helps me.

Have you always been stiff in the morning?

I finished today's 7.24 mile run in 1:14:21 with a 10:16 pace.  Given said pace, I shaved another 29 seconds off of my 10K time... ANOTHER PR, this time 1:04:05!!!

The rabbit was able to gain on me over the last week or so, but I'm vowing to get closer with each run I do.  The down side to that vow is the 36+ hour day every 4 (soon to be 3) days.  :-(

Just wanted to throw this out there for the recent additions to the challenge!!

man down!  I pulled up with a real tight calf two days ago during a run, and there was some pain radiating into my foot afterwards.  It's feeling OK right now, but it's still a bit tight.  I'm thinking some kind of mild calf strain, but don't really know.  Regardless, I'm going to take some time off running to let it sort out a bit.  And just when I started gaining ground   

I always struggle with injury too.  Do you try to train thru it or rest.  The older I get, rest seems to work better..ssshhh don't tell my wife that because I generally do not take that route.  You might want to try gently rolling it, then stretching it and then icing it.  Also if you decide to run, maybe put on some compression sleeves to help support the calf.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

lol Yes it get cold here...we are in N. FL. bbbrrrr  I had uncontrollable shivers prior to the HM and my feet felt like rocks until mile 3.  What we have here is HIGH humidity and when it does get cold, it is cold...now we don't have to wear all the clothes some of ya'll have to wear..I'm very lucky in that aspect...lol  I'll just leave it at that..lol

Calf is feeling good, but I'm taking the weekend off running anyway.  I've done a bunch of icing and rolling of the calf and foot, at this point it's hard to tell if it's tight because of all the massage/rolling, or the injury...  I don't think it's any big deal, but no need to rush back in.  I'll try running on Monday and reset my volume back to a base level and begin the ramp again.  Not worried about this challenge in the sense that it will either happen or it won't, but I'm not going to do something silly just to get in miles.  Not giving up though, because there is still plenty of time left in the year.  My ultimate weekly goal is in the 30mpw range which if I get there in a few months will be plenty to carry me over the top.

In looking back at my logs I do think I ramped up too much too quick, despite thinking at the time I was being very conservative.  I'm going to reset back to the basics and stick to the letter of the 1-2-3 law.  Meaning I'll be shortening my short runs, as opposed to lengthening my long runs.
