My hips were pretty tight this evening. I did some extra warmup and it loosened up some, but they were still tight when I started running so I took it easy. It was the right move as they feel better now.

No running today, but I did order some sports glasses. Running with my prescription sunglasses is no option, they're way too heavy.
So decided to splurge on decent glasses I can run with. Should be ready in about two weeks, just in time for another half marathon
Going out for a long run tomorrow morning, no need for sunglasses then, looks like rain

Nice Q, will that be your first event/race? Good luck if you decide to enter (and you should )
Wow, what a training, I really surprised myself today.
Started off at an easy pace of 10 km/h dead, after the first ten I sped up a little. did the second 10k in 56 minutes, and really went for it in the last few which went by in less than 5 mins.
My HM time for this training was only 2,5 mins above my PB, in a training... crazy
So the stats are:
23 km
2h 11 mins
Avg BPM: 127 (crazy low)
Max BPM: 157
So later today I'm off to the festival, for 3 days of music and fun.
Have fun on your next runs guys, see you all next week!

Awesome run Guideon!
1st annual Easter 5K trail run
Clock Time: 37:32
Pace: 12:06/mile
Overall: 36 / 47
Gender: 24 / 27
Age Group: 3 / 3
My first race. I beat my best 5K time by more than 5 and a half minutes and wasn't dead last. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it. Age group is people my age. Awards were actually just split under40/above 40 though.
I got a 1xl tshirt that fits, goodie bag, participant medal, and won $150 gift cert to a spa.
My average heart rate was 172 bpm. Max was 180. I didn't feel like I was dying at any point, but my muscles did burn and I am a bit stiff already.
The top 2 places where in the 18 minute range and 3rd was 20 min. Very supportive and friendly people.

Just a nice slow recovery run. It got the blood flowing into the sore muscles and got my joints loosened up a bit. Back in January I ran the same distance and time and my average HR was 148 BPM. So I have a long ways to go, but I've come a ways too.

Nice run Quercus, not bad at all for your fist race. I love the races- I used to be pretty active in the local running community around here and finished fairly well several times. I am going to get into them more this year just to give me a goal.
Anywho, I am a couple runs behind.
Friday- treadmill
4.15 in 40
Saturday- outside, finally
5.02 in 48:48.86

Thanks! I met quite a few nice people at the race. I look forward to getting in with running folks. Very nice runs Reloaded!

HR seems a bit high for the distance, but it may be because my muscles are sore and I talked the whole time. Moderate difficulty.

Very nice getting a run in when beat Guideon! Reloaded, that's faster than my long term goal by a good bit. Nicely done!

I hate running on a treadmill, but I didn't get the opportunity to run until 10pm and so it was hotel treadmill.

Another long day, but short enough to run just before dark. Just having dinner at 9:50 sucks.

I completely agree that eating that late sucks- makes everything seem off.
I have to deal with hotel treadmills more often than I care to- they are so hit and miss. That being said I do not mind the treadmill- it has its uses- but only for 30-40 minutes. Any longer and I am wanting to die of boredom.

25km! That's half an ultramarathon! Super impressed man! How are you feeling? I'd be trashed. That's my normal run plus a half marathon!

My stomach didn't feel well the last few days. I was working in south Texas all week and it was in the mid 90s. Working long day and then running probably made me dehydrated and that may be the trouble. I also drank a lot of shitty gas station/hotel coffee last week made with the terrible water they have.

That and for me I sweat so much more or rather it doesn't evaporate. The tiny gym I was in was really stuffy and with no air movement from running I was a big fat sprinkler the whole time.
I sweat more than the average human being so i totally get where you are coming from. My line is 'I sweat standing still in the winter time'. I have gotten over it at the gym though. If you do not want to see someone sweat dont come to the gym.
