Run, run, run away... Week of Mar 11th

[Wahine]

Well, I did go for that lunch run and it was fabulous. 5 plus miles at a decent pace and my leg was tired but it didn't hurt and best of all it still doesn't hurt tonight. I'm baaaaaaaaaacccckkkkkk!!!!

Wahine. Yay!

I am going to go for a run tomorrow.

The really cool part is that my recovery pace has dropped by about 30 to 45 sec per mile!! Just goes to show ya what some cadence and form work will do.

I love owls

I'm struggling with saying "I want to" instead of "I have to".

On tuesday (yeah, been a crazy week with travel) it was raining and it was my hill night. I kept telling myself I feel better during and after a run so just get out there and do it. I had worked all day and it was about 7:30pm and wet out...

It was incredible. My joints haven't hurt this whole week. I have muscle fatigue but that's good. The hills felt GOOD. I was going more distance than I had done before and while I could feel it, I had more control than I've ever had.

So, yay! Now I just have to reprogram my mindset about the whole thing. I love it so and I've never regretted a run, ever. It's just hard to remember that when it's late and I'm tired and it's bad weather.

Wahine,
What did you do to improve your form and cadence ?

[kelownagirl]

Got up at 5:30am and was on the road at 5:45. Sunny, warming up. It's supposed to hit 80 today so glad I went this morning. I felt ok but I always feel a bit stiff if I run very early in the morning.

Wahine,
What did you do to improve your form and cadence ?

I did form exercises and hopping to the pacing of a metronome then when I started back up I ran with the metronome. I bought one for cheap at a local music store.

That is very interesting Wahine. I have noticed that if stuff starts to hurt, if I do form check and readjust, it helps.

After a miserable run on Tuesday afternoon, I took a rest day on Wed. Skipped my mid-week ride. I ran yesterday am at 4:30. Had a fabulous run.

I think I needed it mentally. I have been very discouraged lately, actually thinking about throwing in the towel, so it made me feel better. Still not sure what I am doing with the towel...hold, or throw it in....but it made me feel a little better.

Yay Wahine!!!!!!!!!

I'm taking a break from running and am going mountain biking tonight for the first time this season!

I am slowly to get back my fitness, so far so good.
Rolling 30 miles on the bike yesterday, and just finish my 6 miles easy run this evening.
Running makes me feel alive, thank God for my legs.

Got up at 5:30 AM... got out of the house late... so didn't get on a treadmill at the gym until 6:15 AM.

I needed to run 60 minutes... could only fit 45 minutes in. Ooopsss!

Well, I got 4 miles in! Better than nothing.
