    I haven't run in several weeks. First I was traveling for the Pearl Jam shows - and only got one run in for the 10 days I was away. Then I came back with a nasty cold that is almost better, but still a bit tired. I leave Thursday for Ohana. So probably won't be until next week that I run again. I feel like I am going to have to start really slow and build myself back up. Ugh!

    Got in a nice, easy 5 mile trail run yesterday.  Hoping to squeeze another in today.
    Nice!

    I'm recovering from my hip labral repair surgery from July. I'm able to take walks, will probably be another couple of months before I'm back running.
    I hope your recovery is going well and you are back to running soon.

    @GlowGirl I hope you enjoyed your shows. I had to skip out on Indy as my hip was feeling pretty bad at the time. No way I could have made it though the concert. Luckily it's settled down and feeling quite a bit better

    No success this time at the 100 miler... EVERYTHING was going well, I was on pace for 22 hours (3.5 hours faster than 3 years ago) and my left calf decided to give up at 73 🤦🏼‍♂️ I tried for a few extra miles but with a marathon still to go I decided to call it.

    Lots of positives to take from it and no lasting damage to the calf... Still gutted though despite it being my 2nd longest ever run

    73 miles is absolutely incredible!!  You should be very proud. I think you made the right decision concerning your calf. You don’t want permanent injury. I’m glad it’s ok. Good luck on the marathon. You continue to amaze.

    Beano, hope you are healing up.  Great job!

    Been grinding away the past few months.  
    18 miles today and had the joy of a gallstone acting up for half of it.  Normally, that makes me have to lie down if possible until the pain dies down.  Obviously not possible during a long run.  Just endured.  
    Loads of fun!
    Believe I have a 19 and then a 20 on upcoming Saturday long runs before I start to slow down before the races next month.  (Half Saturday. Full sunday.)  At least I can look at it that way.
    With the way my body is loving the running right now, I can wait to get past these races....rest up....and focus on shorter races for a while.
    I walk like a fucking gimp half of the week, lol.  Knees are both spent.
    Oh well - gotta keep grinding.

    Hope everyone is doing well.  Been reading but not posting, here.  Letting the Troll Fucktards on AMT distract me.  :lol:

    I also haven't posted much recently, I was actually really gutted to miss out on a show this tour (London), I was getting mad that while some of us were missing out others were moaning about the terrible setlists they had to endure 🙄

    My legs is fine so that's good news and I'm now positive I made the right call to withdraw when I did, I have already entered the race when it's next on in 2026 😁

    But for now I have a different type of race, a 12 hour time limit in a 400m track coming up in 4 weeks.

    I hope all are doing well, I've missed the positive energy of this thread.

    Nice to hear from all of you. It sounds like big runs are coming up. I hope everyone with pain or injuries heals soon. Because of the PJ tour I had not run since Sept. 7. I came home sick after Fenway, and when I finally felt better it was time to leave for Ohana. I finally ran this morning. Decided to take it slow. I ran 5K and my speed was 15 seconds more per mile. But it felt good to at least do some running. I will take the next few weeks to build back up to where I was before.

    I'll probably do one more water ski this week then pull the boat out. It's getting cold at night. Keep up the good work Beano!

    So ran that 12k yesterday. Was fun. Had two extra people joining our little group this time around. After run afterwards with food and drinks. The fastest of us ran at 1h06m. I was slowest with 1h35m. Hehe. But man, it was steep. Lot of uphill running (uphill walking for me).

    I think the problem with my MADE IN SWEDEN AND SUSTAINABLE Icebug trail shoes is that they are a tad too big. 

    So just picked up a pair of New Balance Hierro v7 for half price. A little bit smaller in size.

    It has been a while -- a year? maybe? -- but it's time for me to come back here.

    The last twelve months have been tough -- many changes, some good; the loss of some loved ones, that's bad; job stress, health stress, moving stress, etc. We bought a new home, moved our exercise equipment in, and decided the following week to do a whole-house remodel. So my treadmill is covered with plastic and dust.

    Of course, running outside always is an option, and I was doing that until I got a cancer diagnosis. Between biopsies and surgeries, my training schedule was disrupted/ put on hold for a while. Fortunately, my surgeon recognized that my mental health is as important as my physical well-being, and she did not put a lot of restrictions on my activity during recovery.
    On the plus side, I was able to get to the Philly and Fenway shows, as well as Ohana. On the minus side, that further disrupted my training. So I have a lot of fitness to regain, in both running and lifting.
    As part of my recovery, I spent a lot more time on the treadmill than I normally do, and for better or worse I'm now okay with spending three hours knocking off miles on there. But I know that my fitness improves more and faster when I'm outdoors.
    So: I signed myself up for a few races, just to get a benchmark for where my (lack of) fitness is. I'll do a half-marathon next weekend, a Halloween-type run later in the month, and I signed up for a half marathon in Palm Desert in February, because I needed an excuse to go somewhere warm around then. :-)
    I'm eyeing some spring marathons --  not sure about those yet, but considering one in Seattle in March. I'm also toying with the idea of doing another fundraising run; I "ran my age" in miles a few years ago to raise money for Ukraine, and it feels like it might be time to do something like that again.
    But, first, I need to get some sort of routine set up, something that involves being in one place -- preferably *at home* (I went out of state for my health care; I never want to set foot in a Residence Inn again) -- and not having a training plan be continually disrupted by travel as well as the travails of perimenopause (yes, I really did get on a hotel treadmill at 3:30a.m. a few days ago and pound out twelve miles). So I'm back, for some positivity and a sense of community.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Welcome back. I’m so happy your health is better. Running on treadmills suck, but it’s a great option when you can’t go outside. I really admire all you distance runners. 10K is about my limit. I know with training I could do more - but just not motivated to. I’m happy with my little 4-5 mile runs. Good luck with all of your race plans. I hope your health and fitness continue to improve.

    Smart move. Vancouver night one fans should have brought their running gear when Ed invited us to run with two of them at the morning after marathon. He sure is in great form, including his beautiful voice, this tour!
