Gayle! You are on my mind a lot! How are you holding up?

I ran slower on the treadmill then I do outside, but not by a lot. I averaged 8:20 MM. And I had it on a 2% incline to simulate road conditions.

A quick story - when I was first running and wanted to get my speed up, I would do HIIT SPRINTS on the treadmill. I remember that I set the mill at 7 MPH when I sprinted for 1 minute at a time and it killed me. When I ran on Sunday, I had the speed on 7.2 for most of the run!

A couple of times I got really excited watching the football game and almost ran off the side of the stupid thing.

I still find the treadmill HARD. Last night I used the elliptical and it's funny, I feel like I could go on that thing forever.

Jen that time is remarkable! I just get bored on the elliptical,but am sure I will give it a try after the surgery when I am allowed to start again {at least 6 weeks}.
As for me no run today a weight day..when I work my legs and feet hurt to bad by the time I get off,unfortunatly I am working for a solid 6 days starting next week so it will play havic on my workouts.3 weeks from to day is the surery.

I haven't run since Nov 11. Trying to rest and heal from what I guess was doing too much at my age. I didn't realize I would miss it so much. I've been reading this thread every day and feeling frustrated because the weather is finally cool and I can't run! But the resting seems to be working as my walking limp is almost gone.
I'm signed up for a 5K fun run Dec 7. Hope I'm good to go by then.

I ran a VERY cold turkey trot this morning - about 20 degrees and windy! Between the crowd and the cold, I was slow - a 42 minute 5k. Oh well, I'm just running to justify the pumpkin pie today!

Krampus, did you freeze your arse off, too?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hey Riddy! Were you at the Troy Turkey Trot?

It was FREEZING COLD, so cold that my roommate and I jogged an extra mile and a half to our friend's house and to the starting line just to warm up.

I was there wearing a facemask and turtleneck and tights, snot rocketing everywhere and coughing from the cold air. I finished in 24:48 which I'm pretty darn happy about, and placed 19/363 in my age group (F 25-29). Not too shabby for someone who couldn't jog for three minutes without walking until just a couple years ago!

Nope, I did Saratoga. So cold! If i hadn't signed up for the race, I would not have run today. I just got new 35mph wind proof fleece pants, and they saved me. My hands and feet were pretty cold for at least the first half. My face never did warm up.

And holy crap, great time! I'm still dreaming of a 30 minute 5k.....

I also did a Turkey Trot yesterday morning. It was 14 degrees and the entire course was covered in hard packed slippery snow - people were falling all around me. It sucked. Terrible time that I'm too embarrassed to post!!!

I think I got 2nd in my AG.
