5 miles with a -15C windchill. I can only dream of days when one can run in just shorts and a shirt.

I don't know what temp it was when I ran but it was just wonderful no need for extra clothing just shorts and shirt I am guessing it was around mid 60's right now as I type this the temp is 71 degs. It does really feel good.
Have fun running with your wife. Do you two run at the same pace?
Just when I was going to complain about having to run in today's rain and -5C windchill, you remind me it could be a lot worse. YOW ended the Winter Challenge too soon!5 miles with a -15C windchill. I can only dream of days when one can run in just shorts and a shirt.
So envious of you folks who get to run with your spouses and/or kids. I'll never get my wife to run, I'm pretty sure, but I'm hoping my kids will convert. Meanwhile, family dance party!My wife used to run x country in high school. I'm just glad she has started running again as it would sure be nice to have a running buddy. Last Saturday's race that I partcipated in seems to have helped get her motivated about getting back into it.
Where does one find gravel in Manhattan? Or do you get out of the city? I don't know wider New York geography at all, but my impression is that the city goes on for quite a while.A rather over-exuberant 7+ miles, barefoot on gravel trail, yesterday.
Resting my feet today
I hope you know what you're doing cat. If I were you, I'd give myself more time to heal, but I have no idea of what your feeling of course.Shhhhhhh, I know it's against doc's orders, but I ran 1.11 miles today shod in my ucky kinvara's. . . . Anyhow, here's to hoping I didn't do a dumb thing and set myself back again.
The Bridle Trail in Central Park - some of it has a fine, almost sand-like, consistency. Much of it is not!Where does one find gravel in Manhattan? Or do you get out of the city? I don't know wider New York geography at all, but my impression is that the city goes on for quite a while.
Monday afternoon
Front ST
nice pump
I was traumatized in karate when we had to do 500-1000 sit-ups in one sitting. One knee to the gut drives home the importance of ab work, but it was my least favorite part of the training.
My wife used to be the runner and is just now getting back into running and doesn't run as far as me yet as she hasn't ran for several years but is 10 years younger than me so I'm sure it won't be long and she will be passing me up in mileage and probably speed too.

I got a lecture from the wife too last night. Pretty sternly as a matter of fact. I don't feel any worse for doing it, but it doesn't mean I did the right thing. I'm just so tired of being sick and having injuries. I just wish they would have done an mri a year ago instead of all this stupid guess work. It's the guess work that gets me, they seem to think they might maybe kind of know what is going on so we'll treat it one way, only to then have to come up with a new idea of what the problem maybe kind of almost presents like. Am I just maybe too nice when I go in? Should I be demanding an mri so we can just figure this crap out once and for all?I hope you know what you're doing cat.

In your place, I could see myself reacting just the same way.I got a lecture from the wife too last night. Pretty sternly as a matter of fact.

I'm always trying to work on the psychological side of my running, its amazing how little things can seem really big and important when you're knackered and questioning your sanity
I think next Friday when I see the new doc (long story short, basically the pod I really like has a non compete and my last visit was his last day at his clinic, so he referred me to his friend/mentor at another clinic until his non compete is up in 6 months) I am just going to demand getting an mri so I can get this all figured out as this has gone on way too dang long.In your place, I could see myself reacting just the same way.

Yesterday only walked one mile barefeet.
Today it was a nice morning, sunny upper 60's so I went back to Rabbit Hill park where I ran last Friday, they expanded this park over the winter. Ran on the super smooth new paved trails with none of this Started with a half mile walk then 3 miles slow easy run with a bit of walking mixed in then a 1/2 mile cool-down walk.
