Take a running jump into June!

My running has come to a standstill. Got a terrible cold over the weekend & it just won't subside. I love not having an appetite right now but am super bummed about not being able to run.

I actually ran intervals today for no other reason than to check out a new firmware update on my running watch. Slow and short - 8 x 600m at marathon pace - but the first intervals I've run in over two months.

I've been ramping up mileage a bit, but kind of dreading getting back into real training. So it was actually good to have a geeky gadgety reason to do a little speedwork. Hope everyone's feeling better.

I finally bought new running shoes. Even though I only run at boot camp, my old ones were falling apart. Of course, they stopped making the ones I had. Got another style of the same brand, Mizuno, but not sure if they will work. I walked 3 miles before leaving for San Diego and my left foot just hurt. It's the foot with the bunion. I am about to get out and go for a small run-walk for another test. My brother lives on a big hill...
I hope the LRS has an exchange policy.

Sounds like you had fun Oakleaf, and geeky gadgets DO help :-)

Crankin, have fun on your trip. Hope the new shoe works out, or your LRS will work with you if it doesnt! I will take your place on the "what did you eat" thread while you are gone - I need to be more consistent about that anyway. I do track, but there is something different about posting it where other people actually SEE it that does help.

I didn't go very far, but my foot did not hurt during the run/walk. I will keep testing it. I did not run or walk up the steep hill, but tomorrow I will. I keep thinking about what it would be like to ride up it. There's two parts, the first is short and then it flattens out and then proceeds straight up for at least 1/4 of a mile. It looks dreadful!

It's murderiously hot and humid out there. 3 sweaty, slow miles. Love FL summer running! This time of year it's just a slog (slow jog). But now that the floors in the entire house are completed (new tile) and soon to have all my furniture (and kitchen) back to where it belongs, well I hope to at least be slogging more regularly!

I have been extremely remiss about posting, but I've managed to eek out 1 or 2 runs a week since my husband's accident. I don't know if I posted about it here or not, but he was in a motorcycle accident mid-May, shattering his lower leg. I've been his caretaker since then and on top of doing two jobs at work (and walking 3 dogs at least twice daily), I've not had much time. For the first 4 weeks, I've managed one longer weekend run per week (5 - 6 miles) and the past two weeks, I've added in a weekday 3 miler too.

On Monday, I start official training for my next half in October, so I'll have to figure out a way to be more consistent with my running.

Glad to see everyone getting in some running here and there, though!
