How many miles did you run today?

[Michigan Planner]

^ Ouch! Glad it was mild enough that you could carry on!

16.3 miles and 2,900 ft gain on the trails. Could have went another lap with my legs but was chilled due to the rain and my hands were ice cubes so I stopped a lap short. Today I am thinking of the flat Greenaway to put some miles down on tired legs then another big trail day next weekend where I hope for 20

Was supposed to do a long run this morning. But I didn't sleep well and and when I eventually did get back to sleep I woke up too late. Might try again later.

Just a little 10 mile recovery ride today to help the legs clear. If I'm not to lazy today it's time to wash, decrease, and lube dat chain.

So you’re going to watch some women get stuck in an appliance later today?

8 miles @8:09 pace today. Longest run since I did the Virtual Boston. First 4 miles were with the family pushing the Bob, and the remainder was solo. After training alone for the races I have done, I had forgotten how nice it was to do easy runs with the family.

Days like today, I wish I had a fat bike...

I did finally get our for a longish run... my wife decided to get my son out on his bike, so they both cycled the same 21.6km out and back route. It was fine getting there, but as we didn't even start until 3:30pm, it started to get really cold on the way back (it's already dark by just after 6pm here) and my son wasn't too happy. Neither was I for that matter. I was running 5:20/km (8:34/mile) pace for the first half, but 5:39/km (9:06/mile) for the second. Total time: 1:58:30. We had scones and hot chocolate when we got back.

7.3 miles this morning at a relaxing 8:53/mile pace. It put me at 50.9 miles for the week. My goal for the rest of the year is 50 miles each week.

I wore a new pair of running tights this morning from RaceReady. They were pretty good with a nice amount of compression without being to restrictive. The important part was that there was no chafing or irritation.

16 miles today on the greenway at an 8:21/mi pace. Legs were tired from yesterday and was feeling it in the last mile or so. Overall happy with these 2 days of effort, just need something 20+ next week to feel ready. Weather is looking perfect this weekend for some runs.

Managed to hit the track yesterday and today and put in decent times on my 200m and 400m. I hit about 65.0 seconds on the 400 which I haven’t been able to hit the past few months on Saturday and 28.3 on the 200m into a headwind on the straight today.

I ran my normal Monday morning 10k today at a relaxed 8:06/mile pace. When I finished up, I turned around and ran the same route in reverse at an 8:07/mile pace.

Usually when I do these 2 10ks in on a Monday morning, my first one is closer to 7:45/mile pace and the second is a much slower 8:30/mile (or slower) pace. I was aiming for a negative split between the two runs today but didn't want to sandbag the first one. I didn't quite hit it but I was pretty close. Maybe next Monday...

3.5 miles with dogs, 2.75 of which was on mostly packed powder (the sidewalk part was clear). Temps in the low 40s with somewhat murky air (AQI is at 89).

Dismal, 2ºC, wind and wet snow this afternoon, so of course I went out for a steady run to the head of the island and back (13.2km / 8 1/4 miles)! Well, if I'm going to run through the winter this year, these are not going to be anywhere near the worst conditions I will run in.

I thought there wasn't much wind on the way out, but my speed said otherwise. I hit the halfway point in 30:05 or 4:33/km (7:19/mile), and then turned and... boom! There was snow driving into my face and chilling everything down fast. I had to put a lot extra in just to stay near the pace I wanted to be. The good thing was that it almost felt warm every time there was some relative shelter, before I was back out into it again. The return leg was 31:08 or 4:43/km (7:36/mile), for a total of 1:01:13, 4:38/km (7:27/mile), which was inside my target pace, which in the circumstances was quite surprising.

Not coincidentally I was running in my Bostons again, and my feeling about how they would do in the wet was definitely proven - the grip was unrelenting underfoot however wet or slick it was. These are great shoes and they seem to like it when you push them.

oh i run pretty much (at least 5 miles) but it takes me a long time. because I have a breathing problem and a chest deformity, so very soon I just start to choke. If I run a little, then everything is fine.
