Are all the running stores closed in MO? Now would be the perfect time to see an expert and test out a bunch of shoes.

ran for 17 minutes today. like... 17 in a row! 
didn't track it, but it was probably 1.75 miles or so. knees are so so, left ankle is a little pissed. sure would like to build up to longer distances. i just have to be sooooo careful with my joints. i wasn't very winded and could have kept going, but pulled up, in the interest of not hurting myself. this was in the middle of a 4.5 mile hike. felt great!

Well, I know the Kinvaras I have work for me. It's what I've always worn. I wonder if the new Freedoms and the Zoomflys made me adjust. Either way, I'll just pay attention to it as I run for now and then in the future, make sure the shoes I'm getting are neutral like the Kinvaras.

Awesome job!
And even better with the wife. Mine is getting into running a little, but I think that's mostly because she can't do Zumba right now and needs a mental break from "home schooling"

I read this last night and just made sure I paid attention to my foot strike today. It wasn't hard because I naturally pronate anyway.
No guarantee this is it as I gotta see how I feel tomorrow and the next time I run, but I'm a bit hopeful.

You got this. Start slower and smarter then crush it and take no prisoners.DNF.
An overzealous 6:35 first mile with some terrible planning of the first two miles into a headwind. Pulled the rip cord at about 1.3 miles and finished up mile 2. Fat guy needs to ease up at the start he thinks.
Take two TBD.

lol...you were running in the 5's for a decent portion. No wonder you had to pull the plug.DNF.

Stick to your 22:30 plan. Start at a 7:15 pace and then build from there.

This is incredible. @gianmarco, @The Iguana (the one who actually posts), and others here are so skilled. That much time off, and that fast is awesome. I know you're on the "dark side" but I can't help but be so pumped for you guys. Great run. Thrilled that you think you've got your knee figured out. #BMFs, all around.

I'm up.
And without fail, I'm in my usual morning funk. I don't want to run. I don't want to race. Why am I doing this, again? I'm a terrible runner. I'm running more volume now than I ever have, and I'm still slower than I was last year. Why do I even bother?
Normally I don't check-in here until after my run and I get to work. But with @gianmarco kicking-### overnight, some caffeine, and hopefully another ####, I can get motivated for this.
Already ran up and down the stairs a dozen times for neurostim. Had a Picky Bar. Now sipping Pepsi Zero.
In the meantime, go get 'em, @ChiefD! I wish I was there to run a few meters in front of you, trailing a Home Depot gift-card on a string at the end of a stick. Oh wait, you're on #TeamGrue. Correction, I wish I was there to trail you, a few meters behind, with said gift card...

All normal race day thoughts but as soon as you step outside and start your warmup your mindset will change. You’re going to surprise yourself today, you’ve been putting in the time.

Same here.
Queuing up some EDM on the playlist. NO ECONOMICS PODCASTS TODAY, MFER!!!
First licks of sunlight on the horizon. 8C (46F). Negligible wind out of the north. Because I don't need no stinkin tailwind. Flat course. Because I don't need no stinkin downhill. Also because there are no damn hills anywhere within 300 miles of DFW.
Got my YYC Marathon shirt on. Shoes laced.
Here. We.
GO.

I've got some work top do after I finish poopin'! There are some monster #BMF times thrown down over the last couple of days. Glad I had this idea and that @tri-man 47 did the work to make it happen!

Thanks guys! I had no idea I could do that.
Almost puked at the end and my calves are still on fire. Makes me question my sanity.
(Totally worth it)

Still lots of guys left to run. This was my first 5K "race", so I had no idea what to expect.
@gruecd, maybe if you did a little more research like @Juxtatarot, you would have made some smarter picks

That reminds me my April 5k was supposed to be today. And I am growing more of the opinion that our FBG series will expand to have a fall half and marathon option.
