How many miles did you run today?

If I don't drink too much tonight Imma push for my first 50 mile ride since getting back into it. Hard to believe it was just Labour Day weekend when I ended my 25 or so year hiatus.

Can you not do a time trial-style event with scheduled start times for your local club? I imagine your island can't have that many people. Or are you talking about your club in Japan?

My local club is based in the nearest town on the mainland - and the answer is, I don't know if they might go that way with races. I think everyone had been hoping it would be over by next year - I'm not even sure how it's going to be decided.

As for Japan, I'm not sure when we'll be able to go back. We were due to return in April but it doesn't look possible right now.

6.9 miles yesterday on the greenway. Was perfect weather but the bugs were terrible. I need to find my buff to help out until the bugs clear up.

10.75 miles this morning at an overall pace of 8:02/mile. I did ten 800 meter intervals in the middle of the run and averaged about 3:40 for each then kept myself under 8:00/mile for the final 2+ miles home.

I did the thing where you are like five minutes from heading out and then didn't. A couple of things have me disgruntled, like my hot tub heater wouldn't fire up last night, and I just said, "Fuck it." I'll try again tomorrow. Part of it is I know I'm done working for a few months as of Tuesday so I'll have a ton of time to cycle and I just wasn't in the mood this morning.

8.6k (5 1/3) steady run this morning straight after getting up but I forgot to drink any water before I went out and I felt sluggish the whole way. This was the same route as my Tuesday easy run, and 4:46/km (7:40/mile) was well below my intended pace (4:30/km). I guess I shouldn't expect too much in the first week after almost 3 weeks out.

7 miles yesterday on the greenway. Less bugs but more bike riders.

6.65 mile trail run today with a friend. 11:25 pace overall. Two loops of the 3.3 mile course so got to do double the climbing! 900 feet total elevation. Absolutely beautiful morning for running.

Rainy weekend here. Ruined my trail plans. Decided to run an ‘equal effort’ 13.1 on the roads and jazzed it up by wearing the New Balance super shoe for the first time. Came through in 1:34 for the half and feeling really good about that given my current base and perceived effort. Keep er movin.

5 miles @8:43 this morning with my wife. Mother in law is in town so it was nice to leave the kids at home and get a nice run in with her. Kinda like the old pre-kids days.

I stayed up later than I planned last night to see a shitty Michigan team scrape a win out against Rutgers… but we need 3ot to make it happen. This team is a disaster!

Even with the late night I did get in 7.7 miles this morning though and it was the first run of the season with some real snow falling. I had t grab my sunglasses and put in my clear frames to keep the flakes from stinging my eyes.

8 miles @8:25 pace with my wife again. Gorgeous Southern California morning. Clear blue skies. Temp about 60 degrees.

Not my longest effort but best average speed yet and that's with heading directly into the wind for probably 17-20 miles. Slowly but surely getting some fitness back.
