sounds like good pace if you walked 2.5 miles.

Thanks Ken! I wish! I didn't even include the 2.5 miles that I walked...I'm under orders to keep it slow. I probably walked a half mile during the 5.89 though...so it's not quite as bad as it looks. My times have been getting slower and slower due to heat and injury...looking forward to Fall!

Sali, heat, cold, wind are good training things. Never worry about speed but time involved in training in less than favorable conditions. Snails pace with an injury may speed up healing. Times are good in races. I would rather run 3 hours slow than a mile fast. I have been out but never in doubt.

True, you have a good point there.

One of my favorite injury stories : I popped a calf muscle 35 miles into a 50. I hopped in the last 15 , my form was not off real bad. A week, 2 weeks, a month later and it still was bad and hurt when I got to a mile so I turned and went back home. I was smart and did not overdo so it would heal. It did not. I decided to run it out or die. I ran 10 hours ( 50 miles ) and somewhere in the run it healed and never returned. This was in 1981. By all means use good sense on your injury.

Wow....that's hardcore even without an injury such as that. "limped in the last 15" kudo's to you for not giving up.

At age 34 to 50 - I was doing some long stuff. At around age 40 my best distance was 50 miles. At almost 68 I can still enjoy half marathons, and-- probably could still do a 50 k , but why ? In 2005 a bicycle crash ended my long career of sports. I was finished and ok with that. Broken hip and happy knowing it was over. -- 45 days after surgery I did a triathlon still limping badly. I finished 62 of 64 people. 14 weeks post surgery I was back to normal. Never let an injury discourage you. I never did.

Sounds like you proved everything to yourself and are now wise enough to sit back and enjoy the run. I did my first half in March...before that my longest run was 6.5 miles and I was really set on a marathon this October but this morning I made the decision to scrub it. I need to let this injury settle down....so I'll be swimming, hitting the weights and cycling for the next couple weeks in hopes that I can do the Jacksonville Marathon in December.
