How many miles did you run today?

[FlyingMonkey]

13.2km (8 1/4 miles) today. I was supposed to be taking it easy, but it was the conditions I like best (about 10ºC and light rain) and I was enjoying being back so much that I ran nearer steady run pace than easy pace: 1:02:40, for 4:45/km (7:39/mile).

8.3 miles, but only 7 running this evening with an average pace of 9:40/mile. Didn't get a good night of sleep last night and just ran the first 7 and walked the rest of the way.

Was humid today too. Not looking forward to running when the weather gets warmer than 70 F.

4.75 miles at easy pace on the flat local trails. Temps in the 60s.

This has nothing to do with running but I recall @Man with Apple and @Fueco posting up some pictures in this thread of fish they've caught and when I saw this in the local paper I thought they might be interested:

'Once in a lifetime' sturgeon, nearly 7 feet long, caught in Detroit River

The ancient "river monster," as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service referred to it, was processed and released back into its home waters, the Detroit River.

I know there are some big fish in the rivers and lakes here but this one is enormous!

Sturgeon get pretty dang big. I’ve heard of 12-footers on the Sacramento River, and once had a four foot long one jump and hit the side of my kayak (on the Sacramento north on Red Bluff, CA).

I just reregistered for my first race of 2020. I’d originally signed up for the Colfax Marathon in Denver that was supposed to be in April 2020. It was moved back twice. I switched to the Half Marathon since I don’t have any desire to train for a marathon this year... The race will eith be on October 16 or 17, depending on the Broncos’ schedule since the course goes through the stadium.

So I felt recovered enough to try for the 10km part of our club's spring challenge. Time has now run out for any half-marathon attempt as well so I won't be able to complete the challenge, but it was a cool, sunny day with only a light breeze today and I thought I might as well give the 10k a go. However I pretty much knew I would likely pull something in the process because I just hadn't run fast for a few weeks now.

Once again the Endorphin Pro's were incredible, in fact maybe a bit too good. I could feel I was running faster than when I did the 5k TT a few weeks ago, and I hit my 5k turnaround point in 0:19:16 (that's 3:51/km or 6:11/mile). I knew I wouldn't keep that up but, I still got to the 8k point in 31:20 (I haven't run 8k that fast in years), which meant those last 3km were covered in an average of 4:01/km (6:27/km). Of course that's when I noticed my left hamstring wasn't right... I slowed a little while trying to still keep a reasonable pace but just after the 9km mark, I felt that tell-tale 'ping', and I really couldn't do much more than a shuffle for the last half km, which probably took around 3 minutes on its own.

Still: 40:31 (4:03/km or 6:31/mile) is the fastest I've run a 10km since 2014, and it's definitely my best age-graded performance at that distance (74.56%). But the slightly annoying thing is that I know I could have easily gone under 40 minutes had I not gone out so hard over the first 5km and injured myself. Next time...

15ish miles on my cyclocross bike on a mix of paved roads, gravel roads and trails. Temps were in the mid 80s, and I caught a few raindrops. It’s supposed to rain pretty hard from tomorrow afternoon through Tuesday morning.

Nothing on Friday as I worked then headed to the Saturday race to volunteer. It was a lot of fun helping out at an aid station. We were at mile 13.5 of ~46 miles after the course rerouted a little due to trail conditions. Everyone came through after 4hrs though some started 2hrs early and were out there 6 hours at that point. I then helped on a few other items and got to see 1st place finish in 7:15. The guy (kid) still looked fresh after that pace. I headed home after as I was sleep deprived.

Yesterday I got out for 10.8 miles on a mix of greenway and trails. I felt really good the whole time as temps weren't too hot.

I finished last week with 64.2 miles, making four weeks in a row with 60+ miles. I'm hoping to get up to 70+ miles a week by the end of this month.

Yesterday morning was pretty nice with temps around 70º. I got in 7.2 miles and would have liked to get about double that but slept a bit later than I had originally planned.

This morning I got in 6.3 miles at 7:39/mile pace. Temps were still pretty nice at about 61º but it was a little rainy out. I'm going to try to get out for another 10k at lunch time. It will be a little warmer but still rainy. It's supposed to get chilly again for the rest of the mornings this week.

Around 35 miles ridden on Saturday. 9 miles to the meet point for a food-themed ride. The ride itself was supposed to be 20 miles, but I had to bail early because it wasn't moving quick enough and I had an appointment for my second vaccination shot.

I rode with them till about 19 miles and missed two of the stops we were going to make with some Indian food and cocktails to finish the ride. Another 7 miles on the commute back home from where I left them.

I signed up for the ride knowing I would have to bail early because of my appointment, but wish I could have hung around more to get to the next food stop.

Today was the rare day I bailed early on a run. I ran with the dogs, with the intent of running the 3.6 miles to the water tower at the top of the hill and back. I got to the mail trailhead and decided it was too miserable out. So I did 2 miles, in a light rain, with temps around 40.

4.2 miles today in 3 laps of the neighborhood. The pup who turned 6 months today joined me for the last lap and pulled me along. To celebrate she rolled in some smelly wet mud in the yard and got a bath.

I have well and truly fallen off the wagon. I think I've ridden twice in the last two weeks, and one of those rides was very casual. I guess I'm saying it out loud here to try to motivate myself to get back in gear.

I think it’s your low T making you tired and lethargic.
