My longest actual run to date! I'm so exhausted now, but it was a good run with the Hunter's Creek Running Club. I ran most of the time with Edith who is an amazing motivator. She was pushing me to... read more

Work definitely does a number on me too. But still a nice run especially considering you're just getting back to it.

So glad I was able to get in the 6 miles I wanted to this weekend. Overall, I felt pretty good. I used 1:1 intervals and that worked out well. I could have done some 2:1 intervals, but I figured I'... read more

That is fantastic!! I don't know about the ice baths. They sound horrible. I prefer warm Epsom salt baths.

I generally do ice baths with long runs 10 miles or more. Get in the cold water first, then add the ice. It's a shocker, but you get used to it.

Definitely get some rest. Sounds like you might want to get your iron levels checked too.

I will be going to my regular doc first thing in the morning. My mom is now thinking it's more than bronchitis. Might be pneumonia. Will see what my doc says. Thanks.

Take the day off and don't feel guilty (like I always do). Work can definitely drain you. How many miles are you planning for your long run?

Thanks ladies. I have 6 scheduled, wanted to make up for the 8 last week, but due to having to go to work for required OT, I'll be doing 6.

good 1/2 Marathon Training 3 mi 00:39 13:07 pace
What a good run to make up for Saturday! I am so happy with this pace. I pushed myself and it shows. I was cold going out the door, but warmed up after a mile or so. I'm pleased with my pace today. :)

That is a nice pace! And don't worry about the "bad" long run on Saturday. Some days it just doesn't happen. Then the next long run you nail it!

Nice Job:
This is not failure. You got out there despite the weather and gave it your best shot and at a great pace too. Really, 2.5 miles difference is no big deal. Just work on positive thinking and your workouts will be even better :)

You didn't fail Shannon. We face new challenges everyday and it's a learning experience because it makes you stronger. You got through 5.5 miles with cold and heavy wind! You know how many people were still laying in bed? I agree with Kitzy. Repeat positive words over and over to yourself when you run; this helps me when I'm alone and feel like crash n burn time coming. You're doing great!

Good job getting the 2 miles in even in the cold! I am trying to decide if I'm going to brave the cold here (mid 20s right now) or try to head to a friends & hit the treadmill.
