3.9 in 34:46

That's a bit slower than you usually run, were you on a trail or something?

4 yesterday in 31:50. Still hampered by the shoulder, but my pace is getting better.

 

[tri_vol]

Intervals 3.5 miles. Shorts & t-shirt on a December evening is fantastic.

Total - 41.5

 

[Nerd-Vol]

4.25 miles at an 8:35 pace. Felt amazing. That last mile was strange, I felt very at peace even though I was starting to run out of gas.

Tomorrow will be a great day to run

The euphoria was short lived. I cramped up shortly after the run and feel it today. That means I may go on the elliptical or run slower and shorter today.

New 5k pr at 26:10. I will be really happy when I get into the 25:xx range. I should get there soon. I also want to enter a 5k again.

Do you stretch after your runs? If I don't stretch out after every run I'll wake up in the middle of the night with the worst charlie horses.

No. I try to walk about a half mile or so after my runs. I probably need to stretch though.

I like to walk a few minutes as a cool down then I get my stretches in. 30 seconds for each calf, 30 seconds for each quad, and 30 seconds on my hammies. I bump it up to 60 seconds on each after my long runs.

Ran 7 in 59:29 this morning.

Color Me Rad runs are fun. Achieved my PR 5k of 22 flat when I did one. Get jazzed up with the music, dress the part, and run like your pants are on fire. That was my strategy

 

[pualsline]

I have never done a color run. Thought they looked fun...

 

[tri_vol]

My opinion of color runs is unpopular

Thanks.

Went on a run with Samus tonight.

4.71mi in 49:13 at a 10:26 pace.

There was a lot of walking on the front end, and on the back end we were going at a nice pace. Tremendous amount of fun and I really didn't want to quit . I think I understand the joys of running.

So far: 43.4mi in December

285.2 since August 8 2013
