Riggers

My daughter has given up on spring outdoor track. lol. She's looked up the times and come to the conclusion that she just hasn't improved enough to make it to state. She'll probably get a free trip there as an alternate on our 4x400 relay but she's not real confident about the mile or 2 mile. She spent her Friday off from school reviewing her videos and timing her laps. She asked me what she can do to get faster and I have no idea! In the mile (which is her preferred race) she's already faster than I think she should theoretically be. The coach runs them 90 second laps every practice, so she n

Oh! I ran through my coughing, fever, phlegm, congestion weeks. It was awful. So much better now that I'm breathing better even if my nose is still a bit stuffy.

I signed up for RED January and so far so good; however, I'm not sure if it's for me. I feel like I need recovery days even though I'm not running very much each day Is it the cold or the or have I lost all motivation? Or is it that I'm just not made for running every day. I think I want to go back to interval running or something. Maybe I lost endurance but I can't possibly do a full 10k right now and 2 months ago I could. Also, I've had lots of nasal congestion the last month and it's making it hard to breath. I'm constantly having to cough out phlegm and clear my throat whilst I run. Toda

I don't enjoy multiple calls/people trying to troubleshoot technology either. Great news on the running though!

Shepherds pie sounds so good right now. I'm low carbing so none of that for me. Good luck on your training plan!

I loved this race report! I want to be like you when I grow up lolol

I was checking the course records for each age group and my little one was 5 seconds away from setting the course record last Saturday. So close! I also signed us uo for Warrior Dash over spring break!

Does anyone know of an app that can keep a multitude of personal records? It's getting really hard for me to keep up with all the numbers when 5 people are running races from 200m to 10k (so far) and I made a spreadsheet but I'd prefer an app...

PS: I added a new goal this year of at least 1 mile a day for the entire year. A 365 day streak.

Week in recap: So far so good as far as RED January goes! I've got my longest streak (13 days) of my life. LOL 10th- 2.57 miles 24:54 9:41 pace 11th- 2.56 miles 25:14 9:51 pace (wind gusts up to 25 mph during my run) 12th- 2.06 miles 19:35 9:29 pace (still windy but not as much) 13th- 2 miles 19:07 9:34 pace Tuesday was my friend's bday and I went out to eat with her and didn't cheat! Woot. We ran Loop the Lake Sa

I have a head cold too... I wonder if that's part of the reason I'm struggling so hard to enjoy my runs this last week. Half of the run I can't breath through my nose at all and pretty much the whole time my lungs are burning. Although, I'm not sure if that's because of the head cold or just the COLD in general. Supposedly, the coldest part of the year here is late December/early January so I'm hoping for warmer weather from here on out! (Yeah right! Lol)

Good luck! Love the questions. I remember all the questions I used to get and how annoying they were and how much I miss them now.

What's a threshold run?

What happened that you had to have surgery? I must have missed that somewhere... When my husband passed away everyone said to take it one day at a time. I totally didn't get it then but now I understand. It's been really helpful to use that technique with so much other stuff in life. Can't wait to see those biceps!

My weight loss as well. Lol May we all reach our goals!
