Good for you for braving the elements. This weather puts me right back on the treadmill. Have fun in the bayou. Eat some crayfish.
Thanks and I will. We will stop the boats for bags of shrimp and oysters, as well. Amazing food, music, friends, fishing, shooting, etc. Love these trips.
Does it feel like your runs are getting a little easier, SC?
I din't run for the whole of last week because my right foot hurt, and still hurts. When I walk on it. But my colleague told me to "just run, and if it gets worse then stop". So that is what I did and finally ran.
So, would not say it is getting easier. But I will get on it more frequently and hopefully when April ends I AM A CHAMP.

Once you start a regular routine you will be able to feel your progress. For me, it still never feels fully easy, but I am running faster and have more than doubled my miles from when I started. You will get there.
we have arrived on the island and we're all set up, found a pub for a beer... Now getting some supper on in the tent. It all kicks off in the morning 👌

Oh wow! Good luck! Is there a way we can track you online?
7 measly miles for me this AM. Longest run since last year and smashed my previous 10k time along the way. Pleased with that. Have a ten mile race in three weeks with 30,000 plus friends.
Can't wait to hear how you made out with the 2 day suffer fest!

Sounds like you had a great run. It always feels good to beat your previous time. Good luck with the ten miler. You’ve come really far since your injury 👏👏
what a weekend guys! 60 miles covered, day 1 was up and down all day smaller climbs, day 2 was flat with 2 big mountain climbs, the 2nd of which was fucking brutal and super technical 😂 celebrated with a couple of beers and a local malt. Separated from my mate on day 2 due to a problem with his hip, absolutely thrilled to shout him over the finish line.. what a legend. I just love making these memories, can't wait to get home to my incredible wife and daughter.
Wow, that is so amazing. Proud for anyone who does this sort if thing - and it sounds like your partner had to really grit it out, which is even more amazing.
What sort of shoes did you wear? I'm thinking of the 7 hour mountain climb I did last year (mostly rock scramble past a certain point) and the agony my feet were in.
Look forward to learning more about this. Told my wife I was converting to a half marathon this weekend and she gave me a verbal lashing about my desire for pain and suffering being totally selfish and potentially hurting the family due to knee replacement, etc. Unless I divorce there is no way I can do something like this so will have to live through you!

No running, though.
