  1. RUN
    good Monterey Park Hills 9.9 mi 01:59 12:01 pace

    My last long run before the Rock n Roll half next week. There were some epic hills at the end of this one. I had to try really hard to keep running, instead of trudging. I cooled my legs and feet o... read more

  2. Some more running related thoughts... one day a marathon will seem easy. One day. It's certainly doable, if you take a slow enough pace and a few walking breaks when you just can't stand it no more... read more

      It is doable, Elizabeth - especially if you are willing to commit yourself to the walk breaks and not pushing the pace. I know several folks who run about 1 per month, with no obvious effects.

  3. I always run better about three miles in... maybe I'll try just running a few miles before doing my next 5k race.

    It wasn't disappointing, this run. I thought after missing workouts for a couple weeks I'd be in trouble, but I'm still in good shape. I was still more out of breath than I would have liked, but th... read more

      If you say so, but I would say a run is a run. Good for you for getting out there (and share your excitement for the new running season).

      Great job, Elizabeth. So happy you're improving from last year and so happy to see you getting back on DM. Hope to see you out on the trail/road again soon.

  11. Don't try this at home. Plus people think she's being stupid. Still, having running more than one mile on a treadmill, I sort of get it.

      I want to give her points for originality and moxy, but it's pretty hard not to laugh at that. :)

      I give her major kudos! Sure everyone else is thinking she's strange, but she's burning at least 2x or even 3x the calories of the "runners" on either side of her. So bonus points to her.
