Runner's support and Accountability

@starbee You’re getting there! 17 minutes straight running is great! It took me a long time to get to 10 minutes straight running and it seemed like double the time to get to 20. Keep up the good work!

@missingwdw Great job getting out there for a run! I know what you mean with the coughing afterwards. Seems this time of year I am totally fine while out for a run in the cold, but as soon as I walk back in the door I start coughing. Weird!

@chill7984 Congrats on completing the Dopey!! That is a HUGE accomplishment!!

I ran 4 miles on Saturday. A 2-mile recovery run on Sunday. And I completed 4.3 miles on Tuesday. Legs feel OK and I can tell things are improving. I just need to make sure I manage my miles properly and take advantage of the recovery days. Also, I am stretching really well after a run along with using the foam roller. So far so good. Praying the good health continues.

Great to see so many of you continuing to work hard this winter!!! Keep it up! You’re doing much better than I am! Once a week on average here

I’m not that upset about my workouts this winter to be honest because when winter rolls in I usually don’t work out at all, so this is a new thing for me!

Did a treadmill workout yesterday and maintained my usual:

Distance: 2.03 miles
Incline: 2.0 degrees
Time: 0:25:00
Pace: 12:19/mile

@10dedfish Way to go on your last few workouts!! And congrats on bumping up your weight as well!!! That’s always a good feeling!!!!!!

@10dedfish I’m sorry your shoulder was bothering you! That does suck!!! But as you said, it beats the alternative!

@chill7984 I’m so happy to hear you were able to complete the Dopey Challenge! I’m sorry we didn’t get a meet up coordinated with you. What a fantastic pace you did for your full marathon!!!! I completed the Dopey Challenge and cleared just under a 7 hour finish time, which I was very pleased with! I loved all of the races and finished with a huge smile on my face and a in hand! I have decided that I was a one and done for full marathons and Dopey again. I had tons of fun and the distance was way easier at the races than I expected it to be! My training runs were horrible and painful so I was nervous for Dopey. But running through the parks and all of the on course support and entertainment got me through it all! I’m so very proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I love your Dopey costume!!! Where did you get your picture with Cinderella’s glass slipper?? Good luck on your half marathon in February! My next is in April!

@RocketEAR99 I hear you about winter workouts!! I struggle so much too!!! The thing that kept us going was training for Dopey that was at the beginning of January. But since then, we’ve really slacked off until this week again! I’m proud of you for still getting in one day a week though!

@eeyorepoohfan and you are amazing! I am so proud of both of you for the workouts and getting a good run in! I’m glad you took it slower than usual, I don’t want you risking further injury on your knee or a new injury. We’ve gotten a couple more mall walks in and we’re going to try the track this weekend, for the first time since she’s been sick. And may I just say, you’ve inspired me to get back to a regular workout routine too, after trips and holiday interruptions. We’re all going to be strong for April and the Dark Side!
