The Running Thread

[lennytheweedwhacker]

i've barely moved the last few days, only stretched for a minute, and all i've had today is 4 pieces of pizza so i wasn't expecting anything great...i did 5k at 29:36 so i can live with that...i was sucking wind at the end of that, but did manage to jog a bit more than expected to finish out the 4 mile trail...i turned my watch off after 5k but looks like i did 4 miles around 40:00

keep up the good work...i did 8 miles on the stationary bike at 6am this morning even though i didn't want to...go chargers

i really admire the morning workout folks, but man it's just not for me...my neighbor goes out at like 4:30 to jog ...with the sun going down earlier and earlier i will probably need to give it a try though

should be a great game between two of NFL's finest

Did an easy kick-the-rust-off style 3 miler yesterday. Super slow pace (purposefully). Then went out for a 7 miler this morning. A little tight and some expected soreness. But still managed a 9:14 pace. Which I'm totally fine with right now.

Super humid today too, which didn't fucking help at all. Kinda just wished it would open up and goddamn rain on me arleady.

very nice...i'm surprised it's so humid (relatively) up there

nyc can be very humid lenny..do you know how may shirts are dry cleaned each week because of peoples backs sweating?

1?

trust me i totally get that me saying it's really cold here is nothing compared to what the northeast experiences...what's the humidity level in NYC on a very humid day?

it can be very disgusting just like the south..take a shower and you can't dry off sort of stuff..puts you in a bad mood all day where you just call in sick and go the air conditioned pub

gotcha...i really didn't realize it got like that there

and the can't dry off after a shower thing is one of my biggest pet peeves...is there any cure for this disease?

It's already Thursday and I'm just now getting on the board for the weekly mileage. Can't remember the last time I took three days off in a row intentionally. Feels good to mentally reset.

very nice…seems like you’re getting better and better

I’m going tomorrow come heck or high water

[tree_]

Yeah I pushed myself for pace this time, only stopped briefly 3 times

[lennytheweedwhacker]

i ran slowly

[dad]

you still ran though.

good job, fellas.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

[dad]

I think you run in them.

[epilogue]

Monday: 7.01 miles. 100 pushups.
Tuesday: 50 mins of circuit/weight fitness training. Walked a total of 8 miles through the day. 150 pushups.
Wednesday: 7.31 miles. 100 pushups.
Thursday: 50 mins of circuit/weight fitness training. Walked a total of 6 miles through the day. 150 pushups.
Friday: 7.20 miles. 100 pushups

Taking today and tomorrow totally off. Other than standing at work and walking to and from the subway stations and stuff like that, I ain't doing shit!

It was a great week. And I'm looking forward to resting.

I also worked out Friday and Sunday of last week. So in the last eight days, I've had 7 workouts/runs. Feeling strong. Probably get Covid tomorrow and knock me down a peg.

Great work. You must be in fantastic shape.

yes i’m totes jealous of him

i’m considering some Brooks Launch shoes…anybody have experience with these?

[epilogue]

I've only ever run in Asics. I found a brand I liked (the Nimbus-Gels) a million years ago and have never tried switching up.

my coworker said she's always run in Asics and really likes them...i tried on those Brooks' today and really liked the feel...i have Boston's now and they're alright, but I bought a size too small and they're just too narrow

i think i'm going to swing by Fleet Feet and get fitted...not sure how their prices compare so can't say if i will purchase there
