good Trail run at Cincinnati Natur... 4.58 mi
I took a few days off from running to let my knee heal. Decided to test drive the knee on a trail today. It lasted for about 5-10 minutes. The pain came back. Very frustrating! But I wasn't go... read more

My calves are still very sore. Everything was going okay until about 2 miles mark when a strange pain on the outside of my right knee forced me to stop running. I walked the rest of the way. I have... read more

I need to come up with a strategy that will allow me to keep doing the exercises. I started 100 of times, but every time after a week or two I stop for one reason or the other. Part of the reason is that it's just so boring and repetitive. I just don't know how to solve this problem yet.

Alright. Maybe I'm stupid, but I've been struggling with this question for a while now and I can't figure it out. Why run in official races? Is it just about ego? Just to have an off... read more

First I don't think you're stupid. I think it's great to ask questions. For me it's being involved in an "event". I am a people person and love random conversations with folks, the jitters everyone has and I've earned two medals which I like. Also bumping into fellow runners I know is cool. The before and after pics. I like it all.
-
That's actually a really great question. I keep starting to answer and then I get halfway into the sentence and I have to stop. I don't really know. Sometimes I think it is to test ourselves in a setting where many others are doing the same? Sometimes I think it is to give ourselves motivation to keep training day after day? And then other times I think it is just to have some proof of having done something grand.

For some odd reason, the morning of the race I deci... read more

great Flying Pig 5K 3.1 mi 00:39 12:42 pace

So who is running Flying Pig this year? What distance? What is your goal (time, just to finish, just to have fun, all of the above)?

I'm doing the half Sunday -- have some friends doing the 10K on Saturday. Haven't really set a time goal, but would like it to be under my last one (1:59:23). If not, that's okay. I'm just glad to be going to beautiful Cincinnati, seeing our son and his wife, and running the 15th FP. So neat that you're running your daughter's 1st 5k with her.
-
I am doing half. I think you will do well on Sunday. There is something magical about the Pig, even though the course is not easy the crowds and entertainment carry you though. I am not sure about my pace goal this year. Last year I did in 1:55 and a change. The plan is to enjoy the race and see how my body feels. I would like to get under 1:50 this year, but probably not that day :)

It looks like you guys are going to be in a different (faster) corral from me. I wonder if there is a way for us to meet up there...

Is this the 32 miles race? I'm sure you'll do great. I'm tapering for the Pig. I can't say that I'm going crazy but I feel a bit fatigued and I hope this feeling goes away by the race weekend.

Glad you were able to find a rhythm that worked but don't overdo it too much. Don't want to hurt yourself more.
