Hey Warriors

My miles/minutes

Sunday 11/2 ( I did a 5K at the last minute, so double miles here) 6.2, 33:45
(same time as the 5K I did 2 weeks ago!!)

Planned rest day today.

No sign of my MIA chargers. The garmin did have enough juice to get me through the 5K though. I found a charger on ebay from someone who left the actual garmin itself in a hotel room, and was selling the chargers!!

Great job everyone!!

Amy: Hey, is it getting warmer where you are?? High today was 83.

Love and like this time of year. Get up is light, but my walks starting tomorrow night will mostly be in the dark.

Hi Tracy!

It is getting warmer, I think it hit 80 today. just enough though, not too much. I do love this time of year. I am unfortunately going to be resorting to the dreadmill for my weekday runs, unless I want to get up before DH goes to work. I am a bit of chicken about going out at night. I am actually heading over to the east coast this coming weekend for a girl's weekend (another friend and I are going to visit an old coworker who lives in Boynton (sp?) beach.

Everyone: For those who do go at night, what do you wear, carry with you etc??

Hi Warriors! Today I did 2.67 miles and 40 minutes. It's Book Fair week so I'll be dragging by Friday. I'll push to get my miles and minutes in though.

Nights,
I'm either using a route around my work and the sidewalks/street areas are well lit or a park that is well lit also. One the weekends my long routes are sometimes starting off in the dark. I do have a reflector button with a flashy light thing I can wear on my back side. My ROAD ID on my wrist has reflective material, I have an ankle strap with reflective tape on it and of course my shoes have reflective material on them. I do have a mini clip on light I can use in the very dark early mornings that I can clip on to my shirt or visor. Cell phone for longer runs is a must.

Wow, I feel like I was an exercise fiend last night, but it was just a scheduling issue.

Did 5.45 miles in 60 min which I believe is a record for me. I hate weeknight runs adn 60 min are the worst for me. SO, woo hoo!

Then, I had14 whole min to de-stink and head to yoga. ANother 60 min. I was beat but I think it did my legs adn core a world of good.

Happy Tuesday Warriors!!!

A cool, overcast, blustery day in warm sunny Florida

Today I ran 8 miles in 1:16:30

Amy there's actually a thread going about running safety at night. I've now got lovely yellow clothing so i glow, as well as a red light which velcros on my jacket. Carry my mobile in my shorts, ipod and water bottle. Garmin comes along for most runs. ALWAYS run in well lit streets usually along quite busy roads so there's lots of passing traffic (safer and makes me keep running so don't get embarrassed!). The TM's looming for me possibly too

Carrie that's a vast amount of exercise. Great job!

Jim awesome run and time. Glad the weather's so good for you guys right now.

Barb you just keep pushing- you're doing so well.

Lily treadmill time and steps are fantastic, keep it up. Yeah getting mum to the gym's hard work tho- she's not very motivated. I actually drove her there once telling her we were shopping, he he he. Once there she's fine tho.

tracy just a big shout out for your 8miles- whoo. Also great advice regarding running in the dark.

Michelle you are consistently doing such good runs and workouts.

Went out with running club tonight- just 5.1 miles in 46mins, with 10mins stretching. Having a bit of leg trouble- if i wear my knee strap my ITband and hip feel ok, but inner shin twinges. If don't wear it IT and hip are sore but shin's ... you guessed it.... fine! Heading to the asics shop in london on friday after a meeting so maybe they'll figure it out!

Keep it up everyone.

Hey Kate: Thanks for the shout out!!

I did my 4 miles tonight after work with the last half after sunset!! Went pretty good and the route was pretty well lit.

Time was 58min 38sec. with about a 5 min warmdown.

Thanks for all the running in the dark suggestions!!

I got in a craptastic slow 3 miles on the dreadmill today, 44 minutes ( was supposed to do 45 minutes of intervals, and ended up mostly walking). It seems that the TM is triggering shin splint pain whenever I run on it. And I had PF pain too. Ugh. I have no pain or issues when i run outside.

Anyhow. I hope everyone had fun voting today (or whenever you voted). I was so excited to vote.

cheers,Amy

Good evening all you hard working Warriors! I'm in for 3 miles and 40 minutes.

Kate, I hope you get your issues resolved so you can be comfortable running. Thanks for being so supportive!

Hi Warriors! Today was a fantastic weather day and I spent most of it outside. Beautiful day and I really felt good putting in those steps. I walked/wogged the 2 miles each way to and from the gym. I had a good machine w/o while at the gym then I took out Kirby dog for another 2 miles as I enjoyed the Banana Chocolate Vivano I got for lunch from Starbucks. Great day in the neighborhood.

OK, I'm having horrible guilt that I haven't posted in forever...

Here's my updates:

Oct. 12 (I know, forever ago)- did the Race for the Taste. Becky and I ran it together. I'm blaming her for my post-race slump because it was so fun to have someone to run with!! It really was great and I love my medal!

Since the race, I've done approx. 12 miles per week.

I have created a new runner-- Harry at 2 ran almost a full mile with me on his "monkey rope" (one of those backpack leash things). He was laughing the entire time. The best part was that Emma who hates to run went the whole mile too because she wasn't going to let him beat her (she's almost 9 and doesn't like to break a sweat).

So brilliant me, I signed us up for a Fun Run. What I didn't think about was that it started in a park-- Coach Harry decided he'd rather "go playground" and had a complete meltdown 1 block into the run. I finally got him in the double stroller and Emma and I walked the rest. (Baby Miles slept the whole way, thank goodness!) Surprisingly we were not DLF but we were close! And then the 5k started and I was so irritated I couldn't run it... I was in a bit of a funk the rest of the day. (And Harry was mad because I refused to let him go to the playground after his fit!)

My other dilemma is that I've encouraged some of my friends to start running- that's great, and I'm excited for them, but they want to go with me. It's kind of making me crazy because I can't run my own pace. And then the time available with either no kids or happy stroller kids is limited so I can't go out again... I think I may try to meet up about 2 miles into a run- then we can still be together but I don't have to get so frustrated about not really running (we've ended up in the park a few times chatting with friends).

So there's my long rambling post...
