great Treadmill run and weight trai... 1.5 mi 00:20 13:20 pace
I took last week off from running and walking due to my nagging calf injury. It felt good to get back on the treadmill, but I took it easy by walking most of the way. Then I did about 20 minutes ... read more

So DMers, when you run a race do you go by the time on the clock as you cross the finish line or by the "official time" you find on the race website? In the two 5ks I've run both "o... read more

For my PR's I'll go by what is listed on the website. I'm assuming the races you've been in haven't had chip timing? If not, you'll find that those are far more accurate than manual timing, and you'll see a lot less discrepancy with the times. My very first 5K, my time was off by about 20 seconds from when I crossed the line.

Gotcha. No, none of them have been chip timed so far. Thanks.

RUN
alright Calvary 5k Dash & Splash 3.1 mi 00:39 12:38 pace
Unofficial time of 39:11 which is a minute better than my last 5k. I actually thought I was running poorly because of all the hills, but ended up finishing well. Calf is killing me. I need a massage!

Congrats:
Way to go! The good part of starting out running is, nearly every race is a PR! With the fall coming on, you'll keep getting faster and faster!

good Treadmill run 1.75 mi 00:27 15:25 pace
I decided to try to run for 20 minutes straight holding a 5mph pace and I was able to do it. Oh...and there's something horribly wrong with Gatorade Recovery.

What is horribly wrong??? It doesn't taste like beer?

Great job...the treadmill can be a nice change of pace. And you could not be more right about Gatorade Recovery...it is AWFUL...just beyond bad. I went back to chocolate milk to recover after hard workouts.

Katie--I can't really explain it. It almost tastes like it's way out of date or something (even though it wasn't). Like maybe the Quality Control guy at Gatorade took a nap during his shift or something.
Randy--just admit it, bro, you like chocolate milk because you're a child. You like Saturday morning cartoons too, don't you? Sheesh!

Chocolate milk rocks!! I drink the chocolate myoflex now. I feel like I am getting a treat after a hard workout and it has a good carb to protein ratio.

Taking it easy this week, but I'll be back in the gym tomorrow. Oh, and I just registered for the Calvary Dash and Splash 5k on August 14! BOOM!

Great job! If you keep racing into the fall, you'll see your times drop dramatically...this heat slows you down a lot!

Nothing like signing up for a race...it will give you loads of motivation to get better. I can speak from experience that in my early days I wanted to run 5x per week to get my miles up, and although I didn't regret it immediately, I would often have to take a week off just to get to feeling right again. So listen to your body...and adhere to the running rule of 10%. Don't add any more than 10% to your weekly mileage at any one time.

Thanks for the advice. I'm learning (especially as the race approaches) that I'm really going to have to use some strategery in how I plan my runs until race day.

Are you doing any kind of massage afterwards? You might want to get a Foam Roller, or something like a Marathon Stick to work out any kinks before/after your runs.
Here's a foam roller I've heard a lot of good things about http://www.amazon.com/TriggerPoint-GRID-Revolutionary-Roller-Black/dp/B002KE6TMC/ref=sr_1_5/177-2792760-2432613?ie=UTF8&s=exercise-and-fitness&qid=1282656742&sr=1-5
I have one of these... http://www.amazon.com/STICK-MARATHON-MUSCLE-MASSAGER-SG-2000/dp/B000P7NWLM

Thanks for those links. I'll have to check them out. No, I haven't done any pre-or-post-race massages, so that might be the key, huh?
