  • Hanna and I ran 4 1/2 miles today and did an hour of weights,back to work tommarro,pain usually wipes me out on work days glad I only work 2!
  • Nice work Deva!!

    Took a week off running post race but going to do a nice longish one in the morning - I'm thinking flat 5-6 miles.

    Anyone else enjoying these fabulous Sept. running temps?
  • great job, Deva.

    lm3898, have fun getting back out there!

    I've still been running some. About 3 days per week now (weights 3 days per week). Ran 9, and 6 miles this week. Planning on doing 12 or so tomorrow if it doesn't storm
  • I've just gotten back into running. I did 10 miles last week (in one go) and 8.2 miles (Wednesday) on the elliptical. Each week, I am averaging around 20 miles a week. So, I decided to take that stamina to the treadmill. To my huge surprise, I could do 30 minutes jogging without stopping. I haven't been able to do that since I was 15 (26 now) and before my knee injury. I took that outside today in the hot sun and was able to jog 2.2 miles at a slower pace (looking at a 12 minute mile). I'm disappointed that I am so slow but I guess it could be worse for a beginner. I'll try to work on the speed and the distance outside. At least I can jog more than 50 feet without feeling I was going to pass out. Do you guys use the Nike+ Running App? I did today and it was actually great and accurate.

    Don't worry about speed--the entire thing about running is being able to do it--and that's what really counts. And it's sounds like you're doing just great at that.

  • Agree with Kscott...it's not about the time, it's about the stamina in my opinion!

    Four beautiful miles on Saturday. Stopped about 2.5 miles in b/c there was a smoking bush lol no joke, some idiot had dumped charcoal. So after calling the fire dept, I continued on my run. LOVE these temps!!!
  • Well had my test nerve conduction and EMG looks like problem is from my back...spine appt next week...Yes 8 hr RT to dr AGAIN...but maybe we are getting closer to not being in constant pain.
    On the up side my girl and I have been running about 3 days a week 3 to 4 miles
    I refuse to let it get me!!
  • Hanna and I ran 6.5 miles today,her longest yet! It was fun checked out a new route through the dessert,it's hunting season so trying to stay in areas we can be seen. Working the next 2 days so will just do videos.
    Konablue great job on your running and weight loss,I too am a late bloomer on running did not start till I was 58.
  • Nice job!

    I went to a wedding this weekend in Killington, VT - it was STUNNING!! Hubby, myself & friends hiked to the Killington Peak - oh my!! Over 2k feet elevation to the top - glorious!

    Coming down was SO steep though it got a little dicey - luckily everyone made it down safely. Just under 7 miles total.
