    In most cases, I would agree with you. Most of my running takes place on the East River Path - so bicycles are the only danger. I definitely run on the sidewalks when I run the Avenues. Those are more traffic heavy for sure. When I run in the street, it is more on the blocks between the Avenues. Since it is pretty far east downtown in the Alphabets, the traffic is much lighter than somewhere like Midtown. I generally only do it for a few blocks and try to stay more on the very edge of the bike lane facing the cars. If too many cars or bikes, or a big truck is coming my way, I jump on the sidewalk. One thing I noticed is that the street is much more even in terms of pavement. The sidewalks slope all over the place.

    The Juggler is a daredevil ;)

    Hit 7 miles today. I don’t think I will do that very often. My body feels like it has been put through the ringer. But now I know I can do it. I also slightly rolled my ankle at the beginning of my run. It didn’t hurt at all when I was running. I can just slightly feel it now. I hope it doesn’t turn into a thing. Luckily, I can rest it for the remainder of the day.

    Great job!

    Sorry to hear you twisted the ankle but hopeful that the fact it isn't hurting really right now that you will be fine.

    At the spot in training where I am meant to run a half marathon tomorrow.  It aligns with both virtual 5k and 10 mile races which were made virtual after sign up by Covid...so it lines up well for 13.1 tomorrow AM.  Having an extra day of rest (today, although I will push the lawnmower for a an hour or two this afternoon) is a nice luxury

    Thanks. Good luck tomorrow. That is a big run day. When I was just about to hit the 7 miles all exhausted I was thinking about you guys and how I would only be just past the 1/2 way point for a half marathon. It blows my mind how far you guys can run. Much admiration!! 👏👏👏

    I still felt that the last two weekends when I did 14 and 15 miles .... especially last Saturday.  (You mean I would still have another 11.2 miles to go?  Ahhhh!)

    Took 14 mins off the half time I checked from two weeks ago and 8 minutes off the time from the actual Philadelphia Half Marathon for me last year.
    I was 6 minutes from my goal but the last few miles I was in no shape to do anything more than push to try and keep my base pace.  (Couldn't even hit that.)
    Probably should have worn the brace when mowing the lawn yesterday but wanted to see how my ankle would react.  It was barking at me this morning just putting the damn brace on.  By about mile 10 my legs were getting weaker and I was pretty concerned about my stride/rolling the ankle without strong leg support....so I really shortened things up and my poor left leg had to pretty much do double duty to keep things going.  Resulting calf pain was a gift from below.

    Oh well - another week in the books.  I thi k next weekend is 17.  :lol:

    Also - 42 degrees and a slight wind, felt like high 30s.

    Nice job. That is great about your time. My time is still not where I want it to be. But I am making a lot more progress on my distance. Were you able to roll out your legs after. I recall your saying that you wife has some rollers. That may help your calf. I can’t even imagine 17 miles. I know you can do it though. I am still gathering my cold weather gear. Almost done buying the clothes. Still need the accessories - gloves, warm headband, wool socks, etc. I should get on that. The mornings are getting a lot colder.

    Thanks - yeah I need to get the roller out, sure that will help.
    Mornings are for sure getting colder now!

    Today was great running weather. I wore my hoodie for the first time since the spring, but took it off after the first mile. The air felt great. Did 5 miles and had my best time in a while - but not quite as fast as The Juggler ;)
