+ 3 today!

Ran my half-marathon on Sunday in 2:06, which is a decently good time for me. FAR better than the last one where I bonked! It was a beautiful day for a run along the beach - sunny, cool, breezy. Then an easy 4.5 mile recovery run yesterday. That brings me to: 182 miles so far this year.

My last half marathon of the "season" is next Sunday. I'm not sure doing two long races on two successive weeks is that great of an idea, but that's just how it worked out. I'm certainly not running it for time, I'm still a little stiff from the last race. I'm going to consider it to be a supported training run and take it slow and easy ....

I'm pretty new here on 3FC. I just found this thread and thought it was a great idea! It's just the kind of motivation I need to keep running in the "off season", which - oddly enough - happens to be summertime for me.

Just ran a 10K race on Sunday in 58:11 (in the snow ). I took it a little easy and would like to do my next race (in a few weeks) in less than 55...we'll see. Although I've done a half before, I'm more of a 10k girl so I don't think 1000 will happen. I'm going to give myself a more realistic goal of 500 for the year and see how that goes. I'll have to go through my journal to add up what I've done so far this year.

Sorry to ramble on. I'll get to the point...

Sunday - 6.2 miles
Monday - 2 miles
this morning - 5 miles

Gotta catch up on my running totals... I've done several miles since I last posted here, but rather than search out when the last time I posted, I'm just going to change my ticker (I keep a running total in a spreadsheet).

I added two more miles...this is just a guess, walked around in Boston and Niagara Falls.

5 for me today. was planning a 9er but my little muffin man had a high fever last night and I didn't want to leave the house before he was awake and I could check him out. the little dude woke up a little warm but nothing drastic. gotta love motrin for myself and for my guys

+3 yesterday at the park - first day back running, yay!
+1 today on the elliptical

congrats! how did it feel?

Thanks kittycat! It felt great! I never imagined I would enjoy running, much less prefer running outside instead of on a treadmill or something... I've never been a big outside person, but I really love it now.

5.35 miles, my longest run in a while.

Congrats MBN and Shybiird, on your great races, you guys rocked it!

4.3 miles. Finally over 200. Congrats MBN on doing better this time! You seem to be running a lot of races, it's impressive!

Also I registered for the San Francisco Half marathon in July. Has anyone ever done it or been to the city? I looked at a video of the course and it looks pretty hilly. I'm very scared/excited.

San Fran half mary sounds like it would be pretty darn fun. It would be nice if they provided you with an elevation profile for the route. Looks like you have 2 half mary routes to choose from also, very cool. I'm sure the scenery is spectacular -- who wouldn't want to run over the Golden Gate? Do you train on hills?

I've been to San Fran several times and it is a gorgeous city.

I ran 6.07 miles this morning.
