I am such a dawdler in the morning! I got started a little too late this AM to get in my full 4 miler. Today's assignment was 4 miles of intervals - 2 minutes fast (80% effort) and 2 minutes slow... read more

I love running with my BGR Phoenix group. :) It makes me accountable to show up since I coordinate some of the runs.

I do like the smaller group runs. Fun to meet more women in my area. I wish I could be more involved in a leadership capacity. I would LOVE to start a weekly group trail run. My husband's schedule is just too unpredictable for that. :(

Love the split of your 6. Some great solo work and a nice run with the pack without getting caught up in the group pace. Great job!!

Good effort. It's good that you realize the importance of recovery. I have trouble with that sometimes, too. And if you are only a year into doing ultras, I think your body is probably still getting tougher and adjusting to the higher mileage. I'm surprised you're heavier than a year ago.

@Tameika - It is hard to reign it in but I have to do it. This is still a learning experience for me so I'm just figuring it out as I go.

Great job, lady! I think you should hold your head up and be proud! No one should ever finish a marathon and feel even a shred of disappointment! You work hard and with a proper taper, a sub 4:30 marathon is yours for the taking!

Great Performance:
You have been putting up some huge mileage numbers so I am incredibly proud of your efforts. Don't be hard on yourself. This isn't really your thing anymore so it's no more than a training experience, right? :-) I'm sure you'll crack 4:30 in the future.

Never take the chance! Reflective vest, headlamp, flashing "butt lights" should be worn, even in dusk/dawn lighting. I also carry a flashlight to alert the drivers.

@Rose - I've heard about those lights too. Although I don't know how they will work in the hot humid summer when I need to wipe my brow often LOL!
@Monica - We runners have to be really careful and not do stupid stuff like that. It is easy to cruise along listening to your music and feel like you are the only one in the world out there.16 days ago • Like
