Runner's support and Accountability

Got in 4 miles this morning! Kept to our 60:30 run/walk ratio and felt good today! I’m so thankful the winds have calmed and we can get training miles in again! We will get in longer runs later this week to up our mileage! Thanks to my awesome hubby for staying by my side and keeping me encouraged! And thanks to @nascfan for the encouraging texts throughout our run!

@nascfan You are seriously amazing! I appreciate you and your cheers, always! Ryan is super sweet on our runs when he can tell that I’m getting tired or struggling. He just tells me I’m doing great or pacing great or that we are almost done, etc. So I really appreciate both of you! Thank you! I did feel amazing today and just kept a good pace! Our mile 2 is always slower due to the sharp hills and the amount of hills we have in that mile. But I’m glad that I can pick up the pace again after that mile! The calmer winds really did help! I’ve been sneezing a lot this afternoon, but otherwise I feel pretty good!

Yep! Anytime we do this route, that mile will always be slower! Thank you!!!

Looks like there’s a few more folks eyeing up the Dopey 2020!!! I’m getting more excited for the possibility of running it with some fellow D-COT Pals!!! I hope you all are able to join me!

Christy and I completed a 6.5 mile run yesterday afternoon. It’s the first time Christy has gone that far for a run and things look promising for the future! We ran on a rail trail the next county over from us which was more hilly than most rail trails. We finished in 1:22:05 for an average pace of 12’37″/mile Here’s the full stats:

Today was a run day for me. Alarm was set for 5am, which is considered “sleeping in” for @10dedfish

I woke at 4:30, shut the alarm off, and went back to sleep until 6:30.

Some days are just like that I guess

@nascfan Thanks so much Scott!!! How are you and Kathy doing?

@missingwdw whoops! Oh well, you obviously needed the sleep!

@breesmommy5 just a great job! You did so awesome! I’d say most runners skip a day, a walk wouldn’t hurt you but do be careful pushing it too much. As you increase speed and pace, your muscles will need more time to recover than just a walk.

@rocketear99 I am ready! Legs are feeling strong and loose, back is good, I’m ready to go! We just increased the distance for Kathy on Sunday and she maintained a 15:18 pace I think, that sounds right, so just need to get her a little bit faster and she’ll be ready. The excitement of the race always makes her go quicker too!
