Thanksgiving to New Years Running Challenge (Page 5)

You're a machine!

I ran a very easy 2.65 miles this afternoon. I'm hoping for a medium-ish run tomorrow morning, in the neighborhood of 6-7 miles.

Kansas Mom, l like your avatar.

BigDH, great job!

GREAT job everyone!

I have a 5 mile run this COLD morning.  It is 47 and I'm not used to that.  Give me 80 and I'm happy as a pig in slop.  I don't know what to wear!

Thanks! I used it last year during this running challenge.

6.65 miles in this afternoon -- totally naked running, real "streaking." lol I couldn't find my watch, so I ran completely by RPE. It was a great run.

Got my 5 miles in yesterday.  I've got to go out of town for work so I won't be posting but i sure hope to be swimming and running, I'll be in S. FL where it is warm...I HOPE.

Ya'll have a GREAT week!

Emmanem - 2012-12-02 4:32 PM Found a couch to 10k app for my phone so I started that today.  I felt weeks 1 and 2 looked too easy so I started with week 3.  Even got Shadow (my dog) out for half of it with me  3.74 miles total today!

Awesome!

I did my 2.65 mile loop. It felt great.

I have genetically mutant feet (from my father), and my bunions are the size of golf balls. Last night, my left one was randomly throbbing. I could rub it, and it would feel fine, no soreness, then suddenly, a stab of pain. I broke down and took Ibuprofen and iced it. It seems better today, but I'm going to have to keep an eye on them.

I hate my feet. They've always been this way. No cute, girlie shoes for me. Ever.

I've never done that much on the trainer. That is very respectable.

I did 4.65 miles this afternoon. A cold front is blowing in, so while the temperature wasn't that cool, the wind was out of the north and frigid. If that makes sense. We have a chance of snow on Thursday.

I love my foam roller...  My knee issue seems to be more around the knee and not something wrong inside my knee.  (The spot that was bugging me the most was more like the side of the top of my tibia.)  Anyway, I rolled my hamstrings, quads, calves, etc. figuring that if something was tight or unhappy in those places it would pull on my knee funny.  Seems to have helped or maybe it's in my head.

The foam roller came with P90X2.  I never finished that program, but did learn to use the foam roller.  I keep it in my living room so I can use it while watching TV.

Yesterday I stayed inside and tested the knee out on the treadmill.  Seems OK today so I did 4 miles.  It was absolutely gorgeous out - felt more like September than December. It's kind of windy but I bet it's 70 F out there or very close to it. 

I also somehow got roped into a contest at the gym called "Migrating to Miami Beach".  We're on teams of 5 and we have to track mileage from Dec - Feb and then if our team's mileage totals 1585 (which is apparently the distance from here in upstate NY to Miami Beach) we get entered into a prize drawing.  There are a lot of rules though including that for distance to count, I have to start/end at the gym, but there seems to be no definition around "strength training" which counts as 5 miles...  Should be interesting...
