Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

[ttdriver]

My apologies for being AWOL for so long with this thread ..

I am hoping we can resurrect it!!

All you walkers, joggers, and runners, come join the party!

I'll go first:

In preparation for my 15k on Feb 28th, I'm finally getting my mileage base going again. Last week I topped out at 31 miles (4 days) ... This week's goal is 32 miles. I ran 8 today (Monday, 2/16). Tomorrow is a rest day, then back at it again on Wednesday.

HAPPY TRAILS!

Hey there Betty.... I am definitely not as Cool as you are. I ran 30 miles last week in 6 days. I am a running rookie and I feel like I got hit with a Mack Truck. Good luck training for your race.

Ended up with a strong 8.5 mile run today, the last 1/2 mile of which was up and over a very steep overpass on the trail.

10 days to go til the 15k!

No Betty, you're definitely not - I'm here, although I'm a wannabe more than anything else!

I was wondering if you knew about the podcasts that someone has done, which are downloadable mp3's you can use to guide you on the C25K journey. Have you heard of those, and do you have a link?

I just wanted to say you look absolutely stunning!!

Will do an 11 mile run tomorrow!

Saturday, 3/7: 11.2 mile run on the trail. Farthest I've run since way last summer (prior to foot surgery). My goal is to build up to running 13.1 miles every Saturday morning, in addition to the 19 I run during the week and maintain that through the summer months. S L O W L Y but surely, I'll get there!
