Running Mania

Something happened to my foot at Tae-box yesterday. Not sure what but my big toe is a bit swollen and hurting =(

So will take a rest day even though I brought my running gear to work...

Have a good day!

Sitting on airport shuttle will run when I get home 8k is the plan

Sorry to hear about your foot Sonia. I hope that it heals quickly!

I have a 7k moderate run in the books today, which I'll do at lunch. There's some sun peaking out behind some clouds in South Ottawa this morning.

75min and 15km with Pup. Same as yesterday, with Elliptical at lunch.

You could just make a quick stop to the RR on Bank St. for some new running clothes ...

eta: Doesn't everyone keep a gym bag at the office with a spare set of running clothes and shoes ???

Great run this morning- 10K, felt strong & fast. Feels pretty good to be getting back to normal.

10k or so for me tonight with a tempo portion in the middle.

8k easy run done in the fog and mist this morning.

Laughed out loud when I read the topic for the day! I have not time today other then this morning so 30 minute tempo run this morning in cold wet windy rain! Blah! VFF's and cold rain are not a match made in heaven (though my REI e-vent running jacket is!). Having injured my achilles way back in January it is finally improving and every run is better then the last so I was totally whacked to find my 'good foot' hurting. It was like the whole arch was stiff and sore and the foot would not flex right. I was thinking 'what is up with this weird foot thing' for the first 10 minutes of my run so when I read the daily topic The pain went away once I finally warmed up and the rest of the run was really good. Hopefully it is just a bit of Wednesday weirdness and nothing else!

A lovely 10K easy paced at sunrise

I did 10K on treadmill last night with tempo run for the middle two. 5K planned for tonight.

I was going to comment yesterday about you getting back to normal. happy to see you running.

I started my commute today, got about kilometre and realized I had once again forgotten my wallet. So a slightly longer commute today.

An hour on the elliptical again this morning, still feeling good. It is taking everything I have to wait until Sunday to try running but I am determined to do it. At this point I am pretty optimistic (so of course am also afraid of a big letdown if my pain-free status vanishes during the run).

Have a great day - beautiful sunshine here in the GTA.

Sending you happy, healthy vibes for Sunday's run!!

Today was resistance training at the gym. It's my mid week rest of running, but I did run on treadmill for 10 minutes before and after to warm up and cool down.

Need to get back to work now. So busy lately. Have a good day.

5km or so planned with the RR tonight.

I just realized that my back/hip isn't hurting today!

Thank you! Nice to see you running with no bad after-effects from Boston

My morning:
5:11am - alarm goes off
5:30am - leaving house/driving to Y
5:44am - arrive at Y and as walking into change room, think 'oh you have lots of time'
5:45am - realize that I've forgotten to wear or bring my Mizunos and the Sketchers casual shoes I'm wearing aren't going be comfortable for a run
5:53am - arrive back home and grab said Mizunos
6:00am - arrive back at Y and change room to quickly change
6:03am - arrive 3min late to my meeting time with M for a run

ugh.

but had a great 6.3k run with M in the mist/fog Hammie spoke of!

Then had enough time to get in the swim I missed y'day morning due to my sick day - got in 1650m.

Will ride tonight - maybe outside. maybe computrainer. but success y'day in changing bike tires (I even put on a brand new tire!) - painful experience, but good to practice.

Super busy day today so I am going to try and fit a swim in later today. But i need a workout, where is IronColl or Carla. Come on ladies help me out.

Have to join the daily thread … been nursing a swollen ankle after rolling it Friday. I usually don’t taper very well so it’s a bit of a blessing with the OUS season opener PYP 50K on Saturday. My best 42.2 came 2 weeks after a horrible 50 miler due to a knee pain. It’s funny how sometimes things that hurt can actually make things better in the long run

A wonderfull 8 with SR in the rain, got a little wet , thanks to a car linning up a huge puddle and SR on the sidewalk, she didn't stop much of the splash, for some reason I got soaked, while I think she was the target

Hoping to get a run in at lunch, despite the dismal weather. Even if I don't, there's a work-out this afternoon. Whee!

Also of note: meeting Trixie, Ms. Smiles, IronColl and No-H-Stop-adding-the-H (sorry I forget your screenname right now! *awful blush* was super fun last night! Thanks so much for a great evening!
