I went back to check my running log. This is week 16 of 5k sunday
I love asics! I have 4 pairs
My favorite model is the gt-2000s. Those are my long run shoes. My short run shoes are lighter and I’m actually not sure of the model. I hope you love them!
Digging the guided runs. Today was hard but in a good way. I had a mile number in mind but I just went for time instead
Ohhhhhh!!! I love them so much!! What model are they?
I finally got back to 5k yesterday, with minimal pain in my various body parts. That’s the first time at that distance since May. I had negative splits, happy about that. My overall activity level is back up, two runs, two rides and two strength sessions in the last 7 days.
I’m off to physical therapy again this morning!
Half a day of work today then hit I hit the road for this month’s half marathon. Not expecting a great time but I am expecting a nice long trail run!
Is seeing the doctor possible? I would be concerned if I was having trouble walking ![]()
October’s Half Marathon… Done!
It says PR, but I’m not so sure. If it isn’t, it’s within a few seconds. This trail was great, I was not expecting this. Signed up for Madison, WI next month. Then it’s time to head south for some races!
I have my Halloween 15k next Saturday. Got my costume picked out and feeling ready ![]()

Excellent! Yeah, we were supposed to have a Halloween race up here, but it was cancelled. I love those!
I think it will be a small event cause it’s the first one here in my town but I don’t have to travel so that’s nice
I looked at the route and part of it is on my trail I already run. Makes me feel comfortable knowing a good portion of the route
5k sunday
It’s just mind blowing to me how they can keep that pace up for 2 hours. I’m relatively sure I couldn’t do ONE lap on a standard track at that pace anymore. 200M? 100M!?! Actually, that gives me an idea for my next test of myself.![]()
I saw something one time where they had a treadmill (a bouncy, “safe” one) set at world record marathon pace. People could try it out. Most were falling down after a few steps.
My fastest mile I’ve gotten is 9:50. I can’t imagine doing a mile in half that time and then doing it 25 more times. That endurance is just mind blowing to me
That was good stuff. Nice negatives, then a little walk break in mile 5. Feeling ready for my 15k this weekend
Edit- ![]()
My Halloween race just got canceled
I am not having good luck with races this year
7 years ago I was getting ready for my very first 5k. I was still a heavy cigarette smoker but my friend talked me into it. It’s nice to be reminded where I started to give me appreciation for where I am now
Ahh, good ol’ Planet Fitness. I have had two memberships there over the years. I bounce around a lot. I was at a very nice, local one for about a decade. Now I am at Crunch Fitness (Planet Fitness’ long lost cousin
). I mostly go for the treadmills and the group fitness classes. Serves the purpose so far.
Thanks for the reminder on the PF treadmills. I spilled a lot of sweat on those!
Question for those of you that use Strava:
Is there a way for it to tell you your overall pace when it announces the updates? Mine just tells me my overall time, the last mile (or the split mile pace if I am halfway through a mile). I used to use MapMyRun and it would give me my overall pace everything it gave me an update. I can usually do the math in my head just fine on Strave, but, when I really need to know it is toward the end of a race. Unfortunately, I am usually in the delirious phase at that point and am just trying to not pass out!
I can’t seem to find it in the settings. I am not a paying member though, so maybe it’s not available to me?
