Another attempt at a barefoot trail run today, but it was a complete fiasco! I just couldn't relax enough to run (or even walk) over gravel etc. without it hurting--maybe my feet were extra sensitive from Tuesday's run/walk so things were more painful to step on than usual. And to top it off, the bugs were awful!!
Got home from vacation and did my short 2.3 mile run, down and up the hill. The running part was less than this, but I did run all the way up the hill, to my driveway. On the way down, I passed the woman we call the "mean walking lady." She walks at a furious pace, hat pulled down over her eyes, and never says hi.
On the other hand, the guy whizzing down the hill on his bike did say hello.
24.5mi training run today, yep, that's right 24.5!!! Maggy & I set out early this morning & were done by noon. Legs felt great & I am feeling good tonight which means we ran well and fueled properly. :D It's still true, I still love the long runs, so much fun!
Kacie- the 50k is August 22nd so t-minus 27 days!!!
Yowza! That's a long run!
I did 4 miles yesterday in Maine. It was an out and back route so on the way back I did intervals. It was a good run.

24.5, yikes! :eek::eek: Great job. I wonder if there will ever be a day when I'll run that far comfortably.
10.3 for me today, a new loop. Now that I've finally got to a hilly 10 miles, all kinds of routes are open to me. So much more fun than the boring out-and-backs I have to do for anything under 8! What I didn't know is that today's route, although it's only a quarter mile longer than last week's long run, has some MONSTER hills in it. Didn't kill me, must've made me stronger. :D Plus, it was really scenic, and a pleasure to run (other than one really steep gravel descent that made me a little nervous).
There's a 10 mile race in two weeks that I'm thinking I might enter, just for practice drinking from aid stations. It's kind of a long drive, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a way flatter course than my long runs have been this summer - it would be interesting to see how I'd do, without really trying to "race." Don't know yet, still thinking about it.
My running has been OUSTANDING lately *knocks on wood*!
I took 6 weeks off for a stress fracture in my foot and I'm back... stronger than before.
I use to do a walk/run combo, but my friend wants us to RUN a half mary Feb 2010, so I figured I would give just straight running a try.
I don't know WHO I am!
Did 6 miles on 7-19-09 in 57:16. Did 6 miles on 7-26-09 in 56:58! For me to RUN for 6 miles at around a 9:30 minute mile... is shocking.
THEN on 7-26-09, I did a sprint tri... and RAN the 5K with a 8:15 minute mile! I was hoping for around a 8:30 and I smashed that time.
It's like I'm a runner or something. Trust me, it's completely shocking.
*Note: it use to be good if I kept a 10:30 mm with a walk/run.**
