Running to Turkey 11/15-End of November

[Crankin]

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.

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.

mother nature, make up your mind!! Tuesday it was 50 F when I ran; I way over-dressed for the conditions, and kept on stripping off layers as I went and ended up in a tank top. Wednesday, it was 30 F and windy at the same hour; I was wishing I'd worn my warmer tights. And tomorrow, it'll likely be nearly 50 F at 6:30 am again....

Anyway, today was 4 miles of hills, the steepest part into the wind. But thankfully no stairs or castles!
