don't want this post to go unnoticed.bada wrote:I went for a walk today. We have trails all around my town. Big wide paths for walking, running, biking they go for miles. I went for 12 miles once on a lark I ended up in another town. Anyways today I was walking and I come around a bend and there are like 60 college kids. The UConn girls and boys running teams. I saw a couple other colleges. Everyone was tall, thin, ripped and beautiful. Most of the dudes had no shirts with 6 packs. The girls had on like those bike shorts with the tank top athletic half shirt things. It was like I walked into a model convention. People weren't that good looking when I went to UConn. I felt like Quasimodo walking by them.
thanks, bud...hoping to go thursday nexttree_ wrote:Great job

I'm taking today off totally. Typically my schedule is run one day, lift the next, for five of seven days a week. But I have to adjust because of work and weather.washing machine wrote:Excellent run, Joe. What's your resting regimen these days? Long runs really are the best.

I missed my long run today due to some heavy seasonal allergies. Weirdly okay with it, but usually making myself miss a run is tough. Ultimately, regularly scheduled rest is just as good as running for fitness though it's tough to not run when locked in a weekly groove.

Yes. Squats and lunges. I also do several complex exercises where I go up on toes.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:i need to get back in this kind of routineepilogue wrote:I'm taking today off totally.

do you do any leg based work in your strength training?
Thanks, man. Sorry your missed your run but it's not the end of the world. I think you did the right thingwashing machine wrote:I missed my long run today due to some heavy seasonal allergies.

Yeah, same. I've got a race coming but it's not til March. Actual training starts January. I feel like the rest of this year is going to be a challenge not training, if that makes sense? Basically I'm running to build mileage and maintain fitness, so really it's no sweat if I don't hit a certain mileage per week, but it still feels weird not getting 4 runs and/or 20+ miles every week lately.epilogue wrote:Thanks, man.

oh man do I feel you here. I'm ready to get back to 4 runs/20+ every week. It's been a long road back to where I'm at.washing machine wrote:Yeah, same. I've got a race coming but it's not til March.

Basically I'm running to build mileage and maintain fitness, so really it's no sweat if I don't hit a certain mileage per week, but it still feels weird not getting 4 runs/20+ every single week lately.epilogue wrote:Thanks, man.
