30 runs in 30 days - who's with us? (Page 8)

A PR is a PR - awesome job...

Day 14 for me was awesome!  I PR'ed a 5 mile run.  

7:28

7:35

7:42

7:37

7:26

I have never ran 5 miles all under 8:00 minutes and I love the curve of my splits.

Keep running and that will change....The Claaaw is starting to come around.

I meant that for The Claaaw's avatar. Mine would say "I don't like you either".

I love how I can count on this thread to give me a laugh before I head off to work.     Did you see Claaaw's new avatar... ?  It rocks !

Muskrat, you're good in my book.

Fair warning, I think my knees want you dead.

Alas, day 13 was a big old goose egg.

Looks like a 29 runs in 30 day challenge.

I didnt see the start of the thread however Im in. Ive done 95 days in a row so far.

You are welcome to join with a current streak already in place.....but at the end of the challenge, whenever that may be, we reserve the right to claim your miles and days, prior to the challenge, as our own, when we total it up.    

Day 15 down...easy recovery run after yesterday.  

4 miles - 8:36, 8:56, 8:50, 8:24.  I love that this average of 8:41 is now a "recovery" run.  I remember when my goal was to run sub 9:00....  

Has anyone else noticed their appetite increasing?  I can't stop eating!! 

Awesome...I am glad to hear it.  

Curious, why?  I'm curious because I see that day on the horizon.....it's not this day, but it's out there.

Did a swim day as my left ankle/side of foot are really sore (?). I do think this was my final OWS of the season-lake was pretty chilly and was totally messing with my breathing and my feet going numb. Can I count all the aquajogging I was doing as my partners and I complained about the not-so-warm-anymore lake (there was a lot of complaining)?

I will be back to running tomorrow. 

Yes, we will allow you to count this as a two mile run, or three 1 mile runs (which don't count).

Now get back to bidness.

Thanks for the flexibility  I will be back to bidness. Shockingly enough, I sort of enjoy my runs these days. I have never enjoyed running (unless it was after a soccer ball). Finally up to four miles a day at an ~8:30 pace (no garmin, just my usual watch timer). Been listening to some awesome new music and enjoying the warm fall. Thanks for the challenge! Sunday will be a true challenge - my best friend is getting married on Saturday at the McMenamin's Grand Lodge (Forest Grove, OR) and it is Octoberfest. Sunday might be a tad sluggish.   

Excellent!  Hangover runs are fun!  (no they're not) 

I have little pains that pop up one day, and are gone the next.  My new favorite thing to do, that seems to really help, is an "ice bath".  I don't actually put ice in the tub, but I turn the cold water on, sit in the tub immediately (while it filling up), grab the Galaxy Note and read the news on the internet.  After the water is covering my thighs (I only submerge my legs) - I sit in it for 20 mins.  

Drain the tub, then take a warm shower.  It does wonders for the legs.  

Of course - only you know your body.  I have gotten to the point where I know which pains to be worried about, and which ones to HTFU then ice when done. 

Hope you're foot is feeling better.
