Let's hear it ladies! Run report Nov 4-10th

[Shiraz]

Okay I need your motivational reports! I am planning the LV 1/2 and need to get it going again. Sunday I ran on the thread mill and did speed work, nothing Monday or Tuesday. I need to do my long today. Hope everyone has a great week of running. Take in the last nice days before the snow falls. Our weather is due to change in the next few days.

I did 7 miles on Sunday and 2 miles this morning. It was cold this morning -- or colder than it's been in months - mid 30's. No big events for me until spring. Lots of cross training in the gym over the winter, but I'll still run a few times a week - outside as much as I can, kicking through the leaves --

Good luck on the half mary! Vegas sounds like a great place for that.

Three for me on Monday, three today, and probably three on Friday. Looking forward to something longer on Saturday, when we have more time. Also considering a spring half. Shiraz, when is LV?

Went out for a trail run yesterday IN SHORTS AND A SHORT SLEEVED SHIRT. Is this November??? I went for 1 1/2 hours, maybe 8-8.5 miles.

I'm going to start running again soon....honest.

No running for me for a few weeks. I just came from the sports med doc..I have an "itis" in my left knee. I can swim, bike and do the eliptical, but he asked me to hold off on running.

First run in two weeks for me due to traveling and a cold. I did 3 miles on the treadmill (plus .5 mile walking). Felt great to get moving again!

I did 5 miles yesterday and got a bit whiney by mile 4. Other than that, it was great

I did nothing today, I had felt like I was coming down with a semi-cold last night so I took it easy. I feel better now, I plan on 2.5 miles tomorrow.

As a sidenote, we're going to NY on saturday and will be coming back weds. Saturday and weds are travel days and while we'll be doing a LOT of walking, I won't be riding or swimming. Does anyone bring their run shoes when they travel? I love it, it is such a portable sport!

I ran my long run. I ran 11 slow miles and the last 2 were pretty sloppy. I am hoping my next long run will be better. The weather was perfect and I soaked in the sun!!

I took two months off to rehab my knees. I just started running again two weeks ago. Did a week of drudgery on a treadmill and then headed outside last week. I'm up to running 2.5 miles at a 9:30 pace and I'm ready for my next distance increase tomorrow to 2.75 miles.

Winding up to wind down when the snow actually starts in earnest (which is hasn't yet, which is making me anxious ).

My last set of 20/10 went very well. But then I walked quite a bit, and enjoyed the scenery, and stopped and chatted with a couple of friends for a while. 22/10 this weekend. Trying to find a course where it's easy to stash water and not have to run up too many mountains . I did get a cool new running hydration pack, which I love, so the water thing isn't as big of a deal anymore. But the terrain bidness....

Last week I ran Wed (10K), Thu (6), Sat (4?) and Sun (4?) - no significant shin pain.

This week I did 30 min on Tue, and a long run today, planning to do two short ones on the weekend - next Tuesday I will have my running analyzed at an orthopedist. See what he says. Then I'm hoping that I can handle 4 runs a week.

I have my heart set on a half mary in early March....

What are "20/10" and "22/10"?

I did when we moved my son to college for the first time. Of course, the college town had some great running paths - plus it helped me keep my sanity at such an emotional time.

Yes, it's very portable - and I'll do it again sometime!

I ran this morning but it wasn't my best effort. I just felt off. I increased my distance from Monday, struggling through 2.75 miles.
