Today was a toughy. I set out to do distance with no breaks. Then i was talking myself outta it before i even started. 15mph winds and hills. My pace was too fast so i needed walk breaks. But i showed up.
Difference today is i ate and ran later in the morning. Maybe my prime time is early morning after 1 coffee and empty stomach. Oh and NO FRICKEN WIND.
That’s me. Sometimes I add a piece of bread if I’m hungry.
Yeah, the dang wind has been brutal lately!
I second this. I never eat before running. I only have my coffee. When I use to do longer runs I would have some buttered toast
And F the winds!!
Cross posting the November 2025 fitness challenge!
I went for a run today just to get my 100k in October badge. I knew I shouldn’t cause my left calf hurts and now it obviously hurts more + knee feels weak as well. It was a struggle, I did 4.5k and I never run less than 5, it was my rule. So, to the point 
I went for a run just to get my 100k in October badge and this happened:
Fuck you Strava, at least Garmin is on my side
I hope it’s nothing major and I will be back in shape in a couple of days
My 6 miles today put me at 75 miles for the month 
I’ve been building all year. Even though today was a struggle bus run I’m happy to be getting miles in
Default to garmin lol
lol it’s a strava badge though
I dont get the strava craze. Signed up and not invested yet
It’s just like FB but for fitness. I follow people all over the world and sometimes they post pictures. I enjoy getting to see those. Plus I have like 156 week activity streak 
I can’t let that go!
I’m backkkkkk!!! I have been dealing with some digestive issues since this past saturday. I walked for my 5k sunday just to keep the streak. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do my endurance event tomorrow but based on today’s test I think I should be good to go 
Great effort. Good luck tomorrow!
Thanks!! I’m gonna give it my all and expect to be very sore If all things go as planned it will be my longest run ever 
All things did not go as planned but that’s running. It was a 2 mile lap. Mile 1 was like hiking up a mountain (over 1000ft elevation gain over the entire thing) I couldn’t really run it. Mile 2 was coming down and I was able to run with the falling forward method lol. I just made sure my legs were under me. The event was put on by the run group out there and everyone was so supportive. I couldn’t have asked for a better first endurance event experience. My feet and legs were trash so I called it quits after my 5th lap
I am very proud of you! 5 laps up one side and down the other, that’s no joke. And you had negative splits laps 6-9 - watta beast!
Great way to show up for yourself!!
5K sunday 
No idea how I pulled this off and it felt EASY! Probably cause no elevation and back on the concrete My body is not nearly as sore as I expected it to be (Pretty sure that first part is a glitch cause no way was I going at 3.37 pace )
I consider myself a slow runner but I have some “faster” days. I really just love the grind and try to forget about the pace.
Nice run!! Looks like a pretty area too
