    Awesome job RocketEAR! Keep it up! You’re better than me if you’re doing a marathon, that’s for sure!

    Great job you guys! @rocketear99 I’m so excited to see you want to do the marathon! I know you can do it!
    Walk/run…mostly walk because we’re old and our knees aren’t what they used to be, is the only way we can do things. We can maintain a 14:30 minute mile consistently when I pace her. So if we can do that, I just know you can match or beat that! Remember, you don’t have to do a 10 minute mile or anything crazy like that, you just have to stay in front of the balloon ladies. Good luck, you got this and we’ll be cheering you on!

    @rocketear99 Great job and good luck on the marathon. I would love to do one, I just dont have the free time to train right now. I got another run in this morning with my neighbor, 3.1 miles in just under a 10 minute pace. It was a little on the chilly side, high 30’s. Had to break out the gloves and the hoodie.

    @10dedfish and @RocketEAR99 Great work on getting out there and logging the miles even though the knees were sore.

    @Nascfan     You are definitely not old, my friend! Kudos for finding and sticking with what works for you. Your 14:30 min/mile pace is quite brisk. Some might consider it a really light jog! :cool:

    OK. I signed up for a half marathon a little over a month ago, and the date of the race is Saturday, November 10. I’ve been gradually increasing my mileage and praying my calves stay strong. I am incredibly grateful to have had good training runs. My weekday runs are in the 5 mile range and I go longer on Saturdays. Last Saturday I ran 6 miles, and this past Saturday I was able to knock out 9 miles. All running. It’s been probably two years since I’ve been able to run that distance without walking some and/or without suffering a calf injury. I hope to run 11-12 miles this coming Saturday and then be set for half on 11/10. Cooler temps definitely help also. :up:

    @abeach thank you! I feel like a real slouch when I see some of the times in here. Best of luck in your Half! I’ll be cheering you the whole way! I’m so glad your calves have held up!

    Last Thursday I did a paced workout:

    Distance: 2.23 miles
    Time: 0:30:00
    Pace: 13’26″/mile

    Sunday morning I did a distance run in New Jersey and the time was great! :up:

    Distance: 3.00 miles
    Time: 0:32:32
    Pace: 10’51″/mile

    Not sure I’ll ever reach that pace again, but as long as I stay under 15min/mile pace, I’m more than happy :)
