I ran this morning. Every few weeks this just seems to happen, despite the fact it makes my hip hurt. But, my hip hurts most of the time, so I get disgusted and run.
It;s funny how being in the dark makes things easier. I went out dressed to run (i.e. shorts) as it was 50 at 5:30 AM, but I saidI was going to walk. All of a sudden, I found myself running. Probably more slowly than I would if I had the intentionof running, but before I knew it, I had turned around and had run up the 10% grade hill and was at my driveway. I think it comes from not being able to see hills and such as well in the dark, because the same thing happens when riding. The roads were wet, though, so I am glad I ditched the bike.
Eh, I am bored. Two clients cancelled so TE has to amuse me for the next 20 minutes.2015 Trek Silque SSL

A little over four, including 6 x 100m sprints with a long interval between to strop the edge a little ahead of the Turkey Trot.
Not a goal event, but it's way too far to drive if I'm not at least going to try to do my best, and it feels like forever since I've raced a 5K.

Love the pic Kacie!!
I did a little over 3 miles today after work. I added a few sprints to start to improve my overall speed. All in all it was a good run.

Did two and a half-ish today - tried to meet a group and they didn't show? Oh well. The whole second half was into a headwind and I haven't dealt with that in awhile!!

Can I join?
Posting runs will keep me motivated...
Yesterday I discovered a new challenge: in our town we have an old castle on a small hill. 420 something steps lead up there and having climbed the stairs there is another steep climb to the very top of the hill. Running upstairs was tougher than I would have expected, I had to stop in the middle and wait for a minute or two
The castle-hill is right in the middle of my ordinary 5k-run, so the run doesn't become much longer but a lot more challenging if I run over the top.
I'm looking forward to beating the stairs in the future (not having to stop to catch my breath)

Wowee Susan!
Years ago I used to run the stairs at a dam down the road, it was something around 105-120 steps I seem to remember, and my legs would be WRECKED if I did it even three times. Then I did some short runs when we visited Venice a couple of years ago, most of the sidewalks and almost all of the bridges are granite, that stuff is HARD.
It sounds like a beautiful place to run but really, really tough, so you should be proud of doing it at all, WITH stops to catch your breath.
