Week of October 26th WISH Walking & Running Club

Welcome Lynn! Glad you found us. :)

Been MIA (again) for awhile. We just got back from a trip out to CA to visit family, and we took DS on his first trip to Disneyland while we were there! It was so much fun. Here's our castle picture:

Lynn~ :welcome:

I went out for my 5 miler after work tonight. It was cold (in the low 50's or high 40's) and just getting dark when I started out. During the run I felt the familiar muscle groups that I used during the MCM on Sunday. I thought of words like - ouch, boy those are tight and I'm glad its only 5 miles tonight.

Here are the stats from my run tonight, my first since MCM:

Miles: 5.03
Time: 42:56
Pace: 8:33


Splits: 8:44, 8:37, 8:25, 8:29, and 8:27.

I am going to look at my schedule tonight and devise a training plan to take me up to the Philadelphia Marathon.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Tonight's run was awful. What I originally thought was a charlie horse in my calf on Tuesday, I now believe is a tear in my calf muscle.

I was okay on Wednesday, and today at work. No pain. However, after the first half mile, something went wrong and the pain returned. I slugged out 3 1/2 miles, before shutting it down, and walking back to the start.

I'm gonna ice this bugger, take some Alieve, and take a week off. So there you have it, my body is rebelling.:lmao:
 
Aloha Jeff Tell me more about the coast to coast metal. I think you posted something about it a week ago or so. Can you post a link to the info? Thanks in advance.
 

I ran 3 miles on my TM last night. It gets dark so early now - I figured I'd be better off staying inside. I haven't used my TM since March and I think I'll stick to running outside from now on. I really don't like it anymore. I was on for just under 30 minutes but it felt more like an hour. The weather is suppose to be nice and warmish for the next week so I'm looking forward to that. After work, I'm hoping to run for 30 minutes outside and then back home to give out candy!

Lynn - Welcome!!

Jeff - Thanks for the advice about the tennis ball! Definitely noticed the difference after letting some of the air out :) Hope your calves feel better soon!

Have a great Halloween everyone!
 
Just completed my 13 week "starting all over" program this morning and ran my first 10K since my surgery and knee injury!!! :woohoo:
Ran it in 1:07:44, average pace was 10:55. As long as I'm under 11:00 I'm happy! :yay: Hopefully I'll be able to beat my Gobble Jog 10K time from last year after all. (Fingers crossed...) Sunday starts my half marathon training. I'll jump into week 6 of 15.

I'm trying not to think about having to start all over AGAIN after my next surgery in late January, this has been a real mental challenge for me! :scared:

This week I ran 13 miles, average pace for the week was 10:53. Hopefully, I'm getting my groove back.

Hope everyone has a fun Halloween! :goodvibes

This is from a 2008 post about this year's inaugural Coast to Coast medal.

Here is the deal.....if you
are registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon and you finished the
Walt Disney World Marathon or Half Marathon this year (2008), you are
entitled to an additional medal. You do you not have to do a thing. We
will automatically know you completed the World race and are registered
for the Disneyland Half Marathon. We utilize the same registration
system and database on both coasts. You'll receive a wristband when you
pick up your packed that you must wear until you finish. After you
finish, you'll receive the special medal. We won't be mailing them out.

Also, there is no limit. The special medal will be given to everyone who
completes the WDW Marathon or Half Marathon and the Disneyland Half
Marathon this year.

Thanks!

In 2009, you run either the WDW half, full, or the Princess half. Then in Sept. 2009, you run the Disneyland half. Complete the races, and you get one of these:

Thanks Vicky, Shan, & Racey Tracy,

Who asked for sunshine this week?

Anyone? I have a Minnie Medal from this year, I was adding my newest medal to my curtain rod, and noticed that the medal is developing spots, this is not acceptable to me! I dont know what is causing them, they wont wipe off, and I'm afraid my medal is getting destroyed. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do?
 
Angie - I haven't had that happen. I might try to wipe the spots with alcohol wipes or something of that nature. Try it on the back first to be sure it doesn't take any of the finish off. Alcohol is what we clean tv equipment with since it evaporates quickly & doesn't damage the equipment. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will post soon for you.

No training since my half last Sunday. My swelling issue is fine now. But Zack has developed a nice little pukey bug of some sort. He is still down for the count today. I might be getting it too. :sad2:

In any case, I plan to be back to training (for WDW) with a LR of 4 tomorrow.
 
Angie: I haven't noticed that either, but mine is in a shadow box?? Not sure but whatever you try - like Kristi said - try it on the back first.

GOt up and did a nice 4 mile speed walk this AM in 72 degree weather with a nice little breeze. awe.....

Doing well with my Half Marathon training for January...hope everyone is getting in the miles and trying to stay away from injury (JEFF!!!).I have 8 miles on tap for tomorrow.

Hopin my 'Canes can make a good showing today, at least score.
