We got lucky here. It was 72 degrees last night when I ran. Supposed to be 65 here today. In July.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
Like I said on Strava - feels like I need gills out there. Crazy to be dripping all over the foyer floor from a stupid recovery run.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
Yep. Same here. Didn't feel as bad on the bike.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
Yep.Annoying as hell.
That's what she said.Yep.
On the plus side, mounting has been a weakness and we're supposed to work on our weaknesses.
Thanks. It's been fun although I had a little setback last night. My 2 boys and I went up to the field next to the playground in our neighborhood. It's a really large field and folks go out and play soccer or flag football. We decided to go run sprints - I've done this a couple of times in the last 6 weeks so I didn't think much of it. It was hot too around 6:00 so we did only a few warmpups jogs end to end. We get ready to do the first sprint, I yell "Go" the boys take off and I pull up lame immediately. Now in my mind I didn't push any harder than a normal run/sprint and it felt like my hamstring cramped immediately and wouldn't let go. It was an odd feeling and not like a pulled muscle. So, I don't know if I tore it (possible and what I'm feeling is the pressure and swelling) or I had the worst cramp in history. Because of how it felt I thought it would release if I warmed up even more so I kept walking. Standing felt fine but certain flexed positions felt like a cramp. Abandoned the workout and went home and rested. This morning it's still hurting so I assumed it's a pull/minor tear. I'm hoping it will feel good enough to keep doing the indoor trainer and maybe swimming. I expected some minor aches and pains along the way so I'm not going to let this stop me but it's still very frustrating.
Ugh. Watch for bruising around or just below where it hurts. Tell tale sign of a tear.
In the 50s in the morning out here. My hands got cold. I wished that I would have worn gloves.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
That's nuts. How long are you guys going to have those cool temps?In the 50s in the morning out here. My hands got cold. I wished that I would have worn gloves.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
I'm super fn jealous.That's nuts. How long are you guys going to have those cool temps?In the 50s in the morning out here. My hands got cold. I wished that I would have worn gloves.Don't you just love waking up to a 150 SI? My easy morning run was just miserable.
It will warm up in the coming days. However, this summer has been amazingly cool in the mornings so far.That's nuts.

Yeah, anyone can add public or private segments. It's one of the best things about Strava, IMO.
It wasn't that cold, I think Juxt just regretted a chance to make a fashion statement by wearing these.I'm super fn jealous.That's nuts.

If it makes you feel better, my runs this weekend will be in the 80's with a dew point in the high 70's with all the moisture we have in the ground.I'm super fn jealous.That's nuts.

Yeah, my weakness right now is trying to run over 4 miles without having to crap all over myself.we're supposed to work on our weaknesses.

We all have our talents.Yeah, my weakness right now is trying to run over 4 miles without having to crap all over myself.we're supposed to work on our weaknesses.
I love the segments. I'm not out trying to beat other people, because I'm slow and there are elite/professional MUT runners all over The County, but they are great for tracking your own progress. For me running on trails and just using landmarks, it's great having the 1.7M, 454' climb that I do my tempo efforts on tracked. I don't have to worry about hitting lap on my watch or anything else, Strava just automatically groups all of those efforts together for me.
I noticed a couple other segments and I'm sure I'll notice some others as I run my various courses. Unfortunately I will probably not be able to resist trying for the best times on all of them.
Yep - I have one running segment that I've done 197 times now. I can get a pretty good dial in on how things are going by seeing how the present run falls in line with the population.
Thanks tri-man. I was pretty bummed all day while at work. Normally I take 2-3 walks during the day to get some steps in but the leg was still hurting today so I skipped those. My shingles rash is basically gone so based on what the doctor said I went and swam. Did a half mile of dead legs swimming. Raised my spirits some. Leg felt so-so while swimming but I feel confident I wasn't making it any worse. Going to keep icing it and wear compression shorts.....I won't even consider jogging must less running until it's fully healed.
I hope so.This is exactly what you need for a BQ.
Mid-week MLRs for me when they're 12-15mi. After a couple weeks of these, they tend to turn into big time grind.
I dread marathon pace runs the most, followed by tempo runs. I guess I am kind of weird in that I really enjoy the mid week runs of 12-15.
Looking ahead, those easily could become the worst for me too. My mileage is small this summer but I'll be ramping up big come this fall. Just not real sure how the time will look for those right now.
If one or either of them wants to speed up by then, I'll take them along. If not, I'll run with all 3 of them to the finish. I'm about 90% certain the 6yr old will be able to break 30 and beat his older brother; kid has a killer motor.
I'll race your 6-year-old any time, any place.With a 144 SI predicted for the 5K on Sunday and feeling a bit run down, I don't have any huge aspirations other than getting in there and racing whatever chumps end up around me. Anything around 19:00 will be a success, IMO. The real excitement is going to be the kids. This will be their first ever 5K races for both of them (8yrs and 6yrs old boys).
I'm a terrible dad and will run my own race - they'll start out with my wife at 9:45ish pace and then I'll come back for them after I finish.
