Novemburr Run Challenge (Page 8)

Nice weekend for everybody at the races!! Sweeet.

I ended up running 13.1 miles on Saturday for my 31st birthday.  My mom asked why I was not running 31 miles .  Maybe next year.....not.  I felt really fresh at the end which surprised me a bit although my hamstrings were a little tight sunday.  Did any easy 4.75 miles today to loosen up.   Still right on track but hope to get ahead of schedule this week.

Does that mean my 10k is worth 1.5 sessions as well? 

Oh! Cool. Do we mark it differently some how, or just add it to the mileage?

You are better than I am. My quads are still achy, so I didn't run today. Granted, I worked 12 plus hours, but still. I did spin on the trainer for 25 minutes.

More miles tomorrow.

IDK, my legs have hurt all day now...  maybe you chose the wisest course...

Thank goodness for Vitamin "I" - muscles are much better today!

That is awesome.  You do that on a vacation . 

I managed to get in a good 8 miler this morning and then another EZ 4 miler at lunch today...the legs feel pretty good at this point although I do have a threshold bike on the docket tomorrow a.m. where I plan to make em hurt a bit.

Swimming is awesome active recovery for running.  I am planning on one as well at lunch tomorrow plus I am a little scared about losing all of my gains I made last winter in the pool although that may be inevitable (sp?).

Whoa!!!!  You go girl!!!

yea, it helps that my husband does this stuff too. We keep saying one of these times we're going to just take a relaxing vacation, but we'd probably be bored to death. 

Thanks guys and Tracy!

RoniS - 2011-11-15 11:29 AM Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around much. Had a great time in Utah and Colorada, finished my 50k and marathon (love the bonus miles!), and had a fantastic vacation. I'm a bit ahead of my goal right now, but the rest of the month will be lighter now that I'm in taper mode. Going to see if the legs want to run today. They're still a bit sore, but I'm going to give it a go, Have a great day everyone! GO PACIFIC!!!

This is great. It's been a few years since my wife and I took a vacation that didn't include a race (aside from visiting family -- that doesn't count as a vacation, right? ). Can you imagine going on something like a cruise? Stuck on a boat with only pool swimming, spin bikes, and treadmills...the horror, horror!

I'd NEVER be able to go on a cruise!!!!  Oh gawd!!!!  I can't even fathom the idea!!!

Great idea.....but still.....no.

Oh yeah baby!!  I would so be on that cruise if funding allowed...

My husband would kill me. He can barely stand going to one of my races here! lol

3.75 miles tonight. In the dark. I replaced the batteries in my good running light. I could really see. And it was clear and starry. Beautiful evening.

Best of all. I didn't fall!
