Jogging

6 tempo miles this morning, 9:embarrassed:2 ave. pace. Was supposed to be 8 mile tempo run, but at mile 3 I really had to poop, so I turned around and went back early....:embarrassed:


Sometimes, shit happens......:embarrassed:
 
22km this morning.

I'm not even going to try to stand for an hour or two.

Awesome!

I am pretty much screwed as far as consistent training goes. It is too cold to run at 5:embarrassed:0AM (right now usually 28 - 30 degrees) and pitch dark, and it is dark shortly after I get home. I am trying to figure out something though....

Paula and I have been meeting in the evening at a little park that's about 10 miles from the house. They have a paved roadway that circles around the park, and if we do the loop, it's a little less than a mile. And it's well lighted.

Our biggest worry is being attacked by a deer or a goose. :embarrassed:

I'm sure there's got to be something close to your house that's well lighted. I mean, if there's something close to OUR house that's well lighted, there has to be something close to your house, right? :embarrassed:
 
Not bad for a guy on chemotherapy, if I do say so myself, thank you very much.

(takes a bow)

Yea, that's what I was thinking.

I have a virtual friend from Cleveland. Her name is Jenny, and she ran during chemo as well. Her 'best' week during treatment was 221 miles. Absolutely astonishing, as my best month to date has been 201.

Great job on your run. I'm impressed!

Dude. No excuse. I have a headlamp and insulated running tights. I run in the dark (this morning at 5:30), and as cold as down to the low teens. I also bought carbide studded shoe cover for running in the ice and snow.

If you want to run, you can run. You just have to want it. :wink:


No pressure. :embarrassed:


:Wave:

Before I invest in carbide studded shoe covers, I'll just pop a movie in the DVD player and run on the damned treadmill. :embarrassed:

The treadmill is like death to me. :(

I tried it once. Got two miles in, and wanted to kill myself. I have friends who run 20 mile long runs on treadmills when they can't get outside. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?????

Paula has done those really long treadmill runs before. About the longest I've gone on a treadmill is around 5 miles. Yeah, it's not much fun, but I guess it's better than running in the snow and ice for me.
 
I have spent 4 or more hours on a treadmill doing my longer runs when last year. It was misery.
 
What's up with treadmills? Just boring?

Boring, tedious, and no sense of accomplishment.

When I run 10 miles on a trail or on the road, I can look at where I've been and how far I've gone and feel a sense of pride.

If I run 10 miles on the treadmill, I haven't seen a damned thing or gone anywhere at all. :mad:
 
I might dig a treadmill if they were silent, and I could just zone out and listen to an audiobook or something.

If the weather's bad, I'm more likely to use a rowing machine or exercise bike.

Yeah but the number on the treadmill changes. :embarrassed:
