How many miles did you run today? - Page 513

My dog got off his leash today…must’ve ran half a mile chasing him down. It doesn’t sound like much, but considering I was sprinting the whole time…thought one of my lungs might have burst

I ran 5.25 this evening. It's my last training run at home before my big race next weekend. We're flying to Hawaii Tuesday morning. The run portion of the race is on Sunday (double marathon). Should be fun!

anyone ever run a race without a watch/timer? Just signed up for a 10K next week and I can't find my nike sportsband anywhere. I'd rather not buy another one since I try to go at a natural pace during my regular runs and don't care much for tracking performance, but I'm wondering if it won't annoy me during the race when my competitive instincts take over (hopefully) and I try to beat last year's time

3 mile recover at 8:30 pace for me

 Nothing worth doing is ever easy, right? ; )

 I'm really looking forward to jumping in the warm water by the Kailua Pier tomorrow afternoon... My race starts on Friday and ends Sunday. Three days of sheer triathlon madness around big island.

Was it the distance or fueling? I usually carry a gel with me. Rarely need it, but on that odd occasion when blood sugar drops or energy level is shot, it comes in handy.

 I get that sometimes too. Generally, it's my body telling me to lay off on the over-training. There's something about trying to cram in crazy long weekends in three different sports that accelerates that. Carry a gel, but back off when your body just isn't feeling it: that's better than getting sick or injured!
