Hey folks.  Quickie race report.  I finished my 12K today in 54:58 per my Garmin.  Official results to be released soon, but if it's close to this, then I have a 12K PR by 46 seconds.  And this is a course PR because I ran this course 2 years ago when I was learning to run again.  I did it back then in 1:11 and some change. So it's a course PR of about 16:44 seconds.  That's a nice improvement I think. Thought I would share that WORK works!

So the weather here in Chi Town is unreal.  We've been in the 80's for several days!  Usually March is very dreary and cold. Leaves are coming out on the trees, Magnolia trees in bloom. All this spring growth is about 1 month early.  It's crazy!  

So, I took my bike out last Friday for the first outdoor ride of the season...in shorts and a short sleeve shirt.  And I rode outside today too.  It was glorious!  All this crazy warm weather...we are either in a VERY early spring...or we are going to pay BIG TIME in April by having our March weather then.  Guess I'll enjoy it while I can.

LOL...well 'running boy' is a woman, and my mommy raised me to good to hit a woman.  Besides she really didnt call me stupid...just that how I bought my shoes was stupid.  She's right, I am usualy so investigative about things that I Google and explore all options first.  Guess I was just in a rush to get started.

Doing well here. Into week 2 of my tri program and feeling much more "in control" now that I have a schedule to follow each day. The weather is beautilful in Minnesota, broke out the bikes this week. What a difference the wind and actual hills play into your workout-I love it! Also doing the 100 pushup challenge, one week left until I take my final test to see if I can complete 100 consecutive pushups (I started at 16 pushups 5 weeks ago). Hope everyone is dong well.

Great run! 

I've never heard of a 12k.  That about 8 miles?

 

stephsprint - 2012-03-19 5:01 AM Wow, that's great! MR. SPEEDY.

Thank you!!  7.46 miles.  There aren't that many, but here in SF there are 2 big ones.  This one and the Bay to Breakers run in May which I've been doing yearly.  It's a nice distance for a race.

I've heard of Bay to Breakers, supposed to be one big party race.  Drinking, costumes...that true?

stephsprint - 2012-03-25 8:04 PM We'll have 25,000+ at the MB Corporate run in Miami this year. It's an amazing run! The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta gets 60,000!!! It's a 10k and I'd love to do it, but my husband just looks at me like I've got 9 heads every time I mention it. We have a place in Roswell GA... so we could take the train... I'm going to do it...

stephsprint - 2012-03-26 4:03 AM Good morning... one week left until April... how was March? did you get outside?

60,000!  I thought the Chicago Marathon with 45,000was crazy.   The first time I ran it I was in the open corral and it took about 25 minutes just to get to the start.

While the weather was wonderful until this weekend, I did not make out that much.  I am currently tied to early morning workouts except for the weekends and it is still too dark in the AM.  

How is everyone's training going?

Oak .. how is your foot doing ?

oak73 - 2012-03-26 10:02 PM

Well I took a little over a week off to rest up and try to heal.  Still having problems with my left heel.  Its pretty tender and sore.  It seems to spread the pain up my shins and into the center of my foot.

So tonight I took a spin class at the gym.  All I can say is wow.  What a work out.  I havent had a work out that intense in a long time.  I really liked it.  The insturcter is a 75yr old guy, such a trip, a real cool guy....and man can he ride lol.  45 minutes and I can feel the burn...I love this class...to bad I can only attend one time a week.
