It is still on the cool side here

I ran 6 K again. Time for me to try the 10 K. I think Saturday. I am OK with some walking now and then if it is hard.

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Wow whereami. That is amazing. I cannot run that fast.
Oh - don't forget not to overdo it. Running can be hard. We need to build up slowly.
I womaned up today and did my 10K. First one of the season. I ran one 10K every week last fall but none over the winter. It was fun. I did well. I was not as fast as I was last fall but I ran it all and I enjoyed it.
Very few runners out today because there is a big race in town tomorrow and everyone is having their rest day

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Thanks liv you made me feel better. I assume that I am soooo slow and everyone is faster than me.

My goal is to do one 10 kilo run a week...funny you say that. But of course keep little runs like 5-6 kilo every day or every other day if I can.

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

That is what I do. I try to have to shorter run and one longer run each week.
I don't worry that much about speed. I learned last spring when I started that I am not going to be a fast runner but I have endurance.
I just read a marvelous and funny book on running by John Bingham (the penguin) called "No need for speed". I really enjoyed that one.

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

So far I've been going between 1.5 and 2 miles outdoors, but only 3 days a week :-( I forgot how much harder on the legs it is running outside! Though I feel pretty good during the run and like i could go farther..but the next day my legs are killing me!

I'm going to try to add one more day next week.

I've also been doing EA sports active for Wii, that game makes me so sore i can't run the next day!

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Jen, yes, definitely its more difficult and challenging to run outdoors. I think that's why I love it so much. I simply CANNOT stand the dreadmill. If that was my only choice, I'd stop running altogether (I think) ...

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Saturday, 5/30: 10 mile run done on the trail. Wanted to go farther, but I got a late start and the heat/humidity really zapped me today. I did manage to burn 1,023 calories. 2,989 for the 4 days of running this week; 31.2 miles.

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

I had a good run yesterday - 6 kilometers putting along. I am going to try 10 tomorrow

Re: Its time to resurrect the COOL RUNNING thread!

Ive never tried to run outside. Im scared to do it... lol ... but the weather here doesn't permit. Yesterday it was a 114 F outside!!!!!

Yesterday I did 9 kilos on the treadmill in 66 minutes ....of course running and walking... it was like 40 minutes running and the rest walking. I tried to make it to 10 kilos but it was just too much on my body.

After about 20 minutes of running I get a knot in my front thigh closer up to where the pelvic area is and my lower back into my glutes - kinda feels like the sciatica I had once while pregnant.

I ve been stretching before and after and rubbing voltaren creme and taking hot baths but the pain seems to keep coming back. Any suggestions?
