I wasn’t feeling it this morning so I went out for a short one and ended up doing almost 5 miles

Wait a sec… isn’t that getting close to PR territory?? Either way… nice run!
My current PR is 30 minutes 30 seconds. So I was like a minute off today. It’s so close but feels so far
Ran for 28 mins, watch says 3.8km.
Almost continuous, 30 sec break to scritch a very cute St Bernard puppy!
I’m back!
I missed being part of this thread so much, I miss you guys, @Runningfree Jen it always inspires me to see your consistency in running and other workouts 🩷
Yay!! I’m so happy for you I’m out of the working out game for a few days at least. I have a fever, sore throat and my body hurts terribly. I just want to sleep
The plan was to run for 28 minutes today, but when the signal came, I felt I still had more in the tank, so kept going for all the 5 minute cool down walk time ! Forgot to start my watch, so don’t know the distance
.
Now I’m getting jealous I haven’t even thought of any excise the past few days cause I just felt so bad. I’m starting to feel better and can’t till my next run. I’m going to try on sunday to see if I can keep my streak alive.
Walking mid run for a minute often keeps your heart rate up, and gives your body a chance to recover from any impact damage (knees, ankles, hips etc). I like a short walk mid run to have a drink and maybe some dates. It feels like I’m being kind to myself and not just slogging along. So, yes, enjoy those mid run walks!!
Still got a niggling hip problem I fear will never go away but I’m back up to 10km and I’m going to increase up to 8 miles this week…if it’s not too icy outside!
I think I will have to accept my 5K sunday streak being broken. I took the dogs for a 1 mile walk today and had to take 2 breaks and towards the end I felt woozy and like I was going to pass out. I don’t want to risk passing out in the early morning while running. I know it’s only friday but I just don’t see me getting my energy back by sunday. I just finished my first full shift back to work and I am absolutely drained.
Well, is it over? It was a heck of a streak!
It’s over. I’m pretty sad about it. It was 25 weeks long My new running shoes came and I haven’t even opened the package. I’m going to try a weight workout tomorrow and then tuesday try a short easy run/jog. I need my endorphins, I’m getting depressed
I tip my hat to you, that was truly impressive!
(You are an inspiration!)
I’m going to start over lol I think I want to do 5ks on the weekends I work and 10Ks and up on the sundays I don’t work. I’m still trying to figure out my running goals for this coming year. Have you got any yet?
Well, I’m still working on my Half-Marathon-a-Month-for-a-Year goal. This weekend is Austin, TX. This is month number #8 already! I haven’t posted on the last few. I’m usually too tired then kinda forget about it later.
It’s been going good. And now, it starts the part of the year where I get to go to warm places for these. So that’s fun! It’s been an interesting journey, I should try to write something up about it all one of these days.
