Week 30 of 2012

[PatrickGSR94]

Week 7 Day 3 of E25K finished this morning - 27 minutes running + 5m warm up and cool down. 2 1/4 miles total, all BF.

Only 3 workouts to go until E25K completion!

 

[Barefoot TJ]

I walked/ran, okay, hobbled-jogged 1.82 miles in socks around my neighborhood. Managed most of the hills pretty well, half way up to most of the way up before stopping to gasp for air. I was doing okay "tolerating" the chip and seal roads, but it hurt like !@#$%& hell when I stepped on a really sharp piece of bark right where the neuroma is (damn shoes! I'd like to take a boot and shove it up a shoe's butt!)

 

[Barefoot Dama]

TJ, I thought you had the Neuromas removed.
Are there more? Just curious.

But if you had been in shoes the bark wouldn't have hurt.

 

[Barefoot TJ]

Exactly, but the shoes are what put me in this miserable position in the first place.

 

[NickW]

2.32 miles shod today. Crushed the hills that crushed me last week and then I was crushed by a monster new hill I added... I will conquer that hill, oh I will.

Nice! That hill ain't the boss of you no more!
I've been incorporating more hills lately, and our area has plenty of varying steepness, length, and overall altitude climb. There are a few that still make me want to whimper, on bike or on foot.

 

[NickW]

I hear that scedastic. I have a couple hills really close that are so steep I won't even think about attempting them while running with the stroller. Would put my son in a lot of danger if the stroller got away from me. Only another week and then I will have my Saturdays back so maybe I'll be able to do runs occasionally by myself again.

 

[NickW]

Ran 1.1 miles shod with my daughter this morning. I was so impressed with her as she is not a runner at all and she ran the mile in 11 min 9 sec! There were points where we were averaging a 10 min pace but then we hit a little but steep hill which derailed her.

 

[scedastic]

4 trail miles, huaraches, fun, lots of little rolling hills, gravel, packed sand, some roots and debris, fun

 

[NickW]

3.04 miles shod today. Was running much faster than normal till I hit a half mile stretch right near the end of straight sun with no shade. That just totally killed my run and caused me to avg 11 min miles versus the 10 I was doing.

 

[PatrickGSR94]

Week 8 Day 1 complete! 2.33 miles BF. Got my run pace into the 14's which means I ran nearly 2 solid miles!

 

[dutchie53]

Nicely done Patrick.

 

[PatrickGSR94]

It's still pretty hard for me. There were several times where I thought it would be so easy to just stop and walk a bit, but I pressed on to the full 28 minutes of non-stop running.

 

[NickW]

1 slow shod mile with my daughter today. Made her make today a slow day as she is still hurting pretty good from the other day.

 

[NickW]

4 awesome shod hilly miles!
