    At what point did you think it might be better to just be running in the rain?

    How are your injuries?
    I don’t mind running in the rain. But this morning was pouring and windy. It was raining sideways. The first 2 miles on the treadmill were bearable. Then I couldn’t deal as much with the mask. When I do weight training the mask is totally fine. But running with it not so much. 

    My scrapes are healing. Thanks for asking.  I did wake up yesterday to discover more bruising. A big one on my right knee and also left hipbone. But luckily nothing hurt while running. How is your foot?
    Funny how the next day can get ya!

    Made a visit with the Ortho for Friday morning.  Will find out what they think about the ankle and foot then.
    Good luck. I hope they can help with the healing.

    I got back outside today. It was so much better than the treadmill. When I got to the part where I tripped last week I found myself slowing down and looking at the ground more. No incidents this time. It was chilly. I kept all my layers on for the whole run.

    5 mile taper run this evening ahead of sundays virtual marathon. Took me past 1000 miles for the year, not much else to do in 2020 😂

    out with the head torch, I love autumn/winter running.

    That's awesome. My running app says I ran 455 miles since mid March. Before then, I was on a treadmil, and didn't keep track. 1000 miles - amazing. Good look with the marathon.

    I'd have to go back and add it up.  1,000 is a cool number to say, I will need to look to see what I can say for 2020.

    Best of luck, Beano!

    And about the weather - the last two days have been gorgeous here - sunny, calm, crisp, a couple of degrees above freezing. Perfect cycling weather, and today I got to ride in as the sun rose. When I got to work a colleague said “good for you for cycling in this terrible weather”. I think my jaw dropped. I told her “it isn’t terrible, it was glorious”. She harrumphed and said “it’s too cold”!

    Fucking wimp! :lol:

    It's the first year I made a point of taking the app (runkeeper) to track every run. I'm not sure in the grand scheme of running how much 1000 in a year is but like you say it does sound cool 😂

    It was a treadmill day again and it sucked again. It was raining a bit too hard for me to run outside this morning. The mask didn’t feel quite as oppressive as last time. Maybe I will get used to it. The trick was to slow the treadmill down to 4.5 mph when I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore. After a minute or so at that slow speed I cranked it back up again. That seemed to help. The fastest I went was 7.5 mph and could only do that for a short time before I felt like I couldn’t get any air in. But at 6 mph it was ok for a while. Of course now the sun is out.

    What do you run at on a dreadmill, normally?  7.5 is a pretty strong pace.
    Sucks that it stopped raining after you finished but great work plowing through.  I am jealous.

    Saw the Ortho yesterday morning and he thinks there is something going on.  Pushed the MRI through after some additional x-rays and the examination.  MRI is Thursday so we will see.  One of the potential outcomes could be somewhat serious and the others not....just likely different therapy methods to get rid of the issue.
    He said he should know what to do after getting the image back so I will be on the shelf for a while longer.  

    Are you all healed up yet?

    @beono.79 good luck tomorrow, knock em dead!

    I’m glad you are getting your foot checked out. I hope it’s the less serious issue. But it sounds like either way, you can work towards healing. Good luck. 

    My scrapes are healing up and my bruises are at the yellow stage so they are healing. Thanks for asking. 

    On the treadmill I vary my speeds to keep from getting bored. I usually run 5.5 for the first mile just to warm up. Then I primarily run 6mph. But towards the end of each mile I crank it up to 6.5 for 2/10 of a mile and then 7.5 for 1/10 of a mile. Then I go back down to 5.5 for a minute or so and then back up to 6 and then repeat the 6.5 and 7.5 and so on. With the mask I did have to slow down a few times to 4.5 for 30 seconds just to regulate my breathing. 7.5 is too fast for me to maintain beyond a short bit at a time. I think at some point I would like to run 6.5 for longer periods. I’m working at it.
