How many miles did you run today?

[FlyingMonkey]

Didn't go out today because my hamstring doesn't feel right. And I doubt I'll be going out this weekend as we have Super-typhoon Hagibis due to hit us on Saturday, apparently the strongest one ever to hit Tokyo, so we'll see...

Good luck @FlyingMonkey !

I got in 3 miles last night. Everything felt fine other than this sore throat that popped up.

Taken me a while to post here but ive been running regularly since Thanksgiving Day of 2012. I can tell this year my age is starting to hit me as things just aren't quite how they were athletically.

For me I have a mental problem of keeping my running going strong. After about 3.5 miles i start getting bored and stop for a break. Anyway im also pretty tall so despite my low turnover I log some decent times. For reference, other than this year which was horrifically and inexplicably bad, I'm in the top third to 25 percent of the Peachtree Road Race. Its a 10k with 60k runners so time itself isn't representative.

Also because things always hurt it takes a toll on me and ive been logging the same 4 miles at 33 or 34 minutes for a few weeks now. Rarely run more than that might go up to around 5.

You find yourself getting bored after 3 miles or so... do you usually run in the same neighborhoods or the same trails? Just getting out to new areas can help freshen things up - whether it's trails or just a residential neighborhood. I typically do the same loops through the same neighborhoods near my house and have been doing that for about 8 years now. Since I'm usually too lazy to go drive to the trail system or one of the good parks sometimes I'll set a goal to go run every. single. road. in a particular neighborhood that I'm not as familiar with.

Also, I've found books on tape (well, downloaded MP3 files these days) are pretty good for encouraging me to stay out there longer.

Wake up, it’s time to run!

edit: I ran 3.5 miles with the dogs in what’s left of yesterday’s snowfall (not much) with temps ranging from 18 to 26.

Out here in Boulder, CO for some trail running at altitude with my boys. Conditions were a little sketch in places, but overall a great day to be alive.

It's not really the stimulation change, it really is just kind of my hard-to-stay-focused personality.

You almost ran right past me... I was down by NCAR to pickup a jacket purchased on Facebook Marketplace for my son.

How long are you in town for?

I ran 4 miles with the dogs this morning, on my usual trails. It was borderline t-shirt weather, but compared to yesterday, it felt warm...

@Dusty Heaters

I thought of you when I saw my friend's ride on Strava. He's out watching the Ironman World Championships, and logging some miles for Ultraman World Championships, coming up next month...

unfortunately just until tomorrow morning. We’re going for an easy run tomorrow by Marshall Mesa before I take off.

PS: That guy is an absolute unit. I’m just a try hard hobby jogger. Haha.[/QUOTE]

Beautiful day and trail system out there today. Let the wheels turn a little on the last couple miles.

 

[FlyingMonkey]

Still sitting out my hamstring, so I can run next Sunday...

I keep thinking about running, but also keep not doing it. Did ride an informal century with a couple of friends on my birthday, though. Without planning it, we hit 100 miles about halfway across the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back into town.

Stump Jump 50K on Saturday. ~32miles in 6:23, good for 32nd overall out of ~300. They decided to leave all the climbing for the miles after 28 so it was 2-4 miles of power hiking. Humbling race as the last time I ran this, on a difference course, I finished in 5:45 so either I am slower or this course is much harder.

The winner finished in 4:12 which is like an 8min/mi pace. There are so many rocky sections, I don't know how he kept his balance going so fast. One section known as the Rock Garden is literally a mile or more hopping from rock to rock as there is not trail.

Went out yesterday for a sore 8.25 miles and felt pretty good. Only soreness is when I try to walk down stairs...

About 3 miles just now. Considering im jetlagged and haven't had much good (for me) food in a month--i suppose it went as good as can be expected

4.5 trail miles with the dogs, with the last 1.5 miles at about a 7:45 pace. Good times in the sun, with temps in the mid-70s...
