First run after being rear-ended at the end of June and injuring my back. Still don't have a full doctor's okay (since I cancelled an appointment before going out of town) but the back is substanti... read more

Prairie Path 9 mi 02:16 15:06 pace
Worst training run ever. By far. Purely horrid. Nothing remotely redeemable. Felt like hitting the wall in a marathon only 5.5 miles in. Stopped. Walked. Last three miles in 19, 17, and 18 minutes ... read more

Fort Atkinson Half Marathon 13.22 mi 02:35 11:43 pace
All things considered (long time off running, lots of chocolate and weight gain and only back to running for four weeks, plus more hills than I'd expected), this race went pretty well. Cute little ... read more

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The combination of not running for 6-7 months and gaining 35 pounds just makes running a bit harder and less fun. Surprise!! But it is good to be back and moving forward.

Love the biking/running combination. You're inspiring to dust the cobwebs off my own bike and hit the trails.

I was pretty slow today. Met some hills, rode across some grass and just wasn't speedy. This was more about transportation to the running.

Ran with a friend today. We didn't exactly stay with our pace groups, but had a great time. Last night's four hours of sleep on top of a diner dinner with ice cream sundae made this harder than it ... read more

Took daughter out for about 4 miles of this one which made it slower but it was so worth it. I'm glad to have her interested in exercise.

I like the parent/child workout. It always seems so much more fun and relaxing.

RUN
Dog to do business 0.39 mi 00:05:00 12:49 pace
Legs (including bad calf) still hurt and the new shorts weren't comfortable for running, so I decided to switch to the bike. At least I was out of bed this morning!
-
Serious pain in calf gave me an excuse to sleep in. Should have gotten up and exercised anyway, even if that exercise had not included running.

Prairie Path with CARA Wheato... 11 mi 02:17 12:27 pace
This could be a long description of everything bad about this run, from the night before to the run itself to the aftermath. I'll just sum up to say that the important part is that I finished it.

Neighborhood 3.8 mi 00:44 11:28 pace
First two miles around 12:20, then I realized I'd be home too late to get the husband off if I didn't hurry it up. Getting a tiny bit stronger and faster (though unfortuneately not much lighter).

Meant to go four but started a shade too late. Not a great run. The kind that makes the others seem better. Looking forward to 9.5 miles tomorrow.

I did 8.2 miles last Saturday. I'll do 9.5 tomorrow, 11 the next week, then 6-7 to taper, with the half the week after that. But yes, the 2 to 8.2 was a huge jump!
