Anyone here tried this new thing called "jogging" ?

virtual nottingham xmas marathon done and dusted... super happy with 3hrs 28min! It's not always about time but my sole purpose of this race was to break 3:30. went super hard in the 3rd quarter of the run and then just gritted my teeth and held on best I could 😂

back at home now, feet up, coffee in hand and chicken roasting in the oven (thank u wifey)
have a great sunday all!

Congrats!!!  That is amazing. Your time was incredible. And you reached your goal. Today is a good day for you. Enjoy that chicken. You deserve it 👏👏👏

This morning I had to decide if I wanted to run outside in the cold, or run in a mask on the treadmill. I chose to run outside. It was cold when I first got out there, but I warmed up quickly. I had on one light layer, and two heavier layers. It was way better than running on the treadmill. But, I think when it gets below freezing I will have to. Today was around 35 degrees when I went out.

I had to go out at about 7 this morning to get some of the leaf piles into the roadway from the edge of the lawn since they were taking them away.  It was about 30 and I had shorts and a t-shirt.  Was brisk but ok.
About twenty minutes later I saw a dude run by with a winter coat and sweats on, with a hat...jogging 
All I could think of was how nasty stanley that gear was going to be when he finished sweating through his run

Good for you getting out there!

Thanks. I don't get some people's running gear either. I wore a running tank top as a base layer, then a long sleeve tech shirt, and then a Nike dri-fit thin hoodie over it all. I also wore running tights and a headband around my ears but no hat. It was fine. But I see people run now in those heavy fleece drawstring sweatpants and thick cotton sweatshirts (like the kind with college logos on them), and full on winter hats. They must be soaked by the time they finish. I was basically dry with some light sweat. Not bad at all. 

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen - careful!

Loving in LA for all of those years (especially where we were in the Marina) it was constant.  Not anything to blink at.  Where we are now I'm sure people would make a deal about it....

We occasionally get movie shoots in Victoria, but it's far more common in Vancouver.

Had a great run this morning as the sun rose. 2oC and mostly clear. I ran near the ocean for about a quarter of it and watched the sun over the water. Didn't even have anything more than a light ocean breeze to deal with! Apparently my second fastest 10k. I'm all set up for a good day today. 

Awesome. Running by the ocean sounds nice. I love running along the river. Congrats on your speedy 10K. Today is my off day, but I will be running tomorrow.

Great work!
Got totally hammered last night.  Needed to run it off this morning but couldn't.  
Frustrating.
Oh well, will enjoy hearing from y'all and how well you are doing with it and wait.

You inspired me. I did my best time for a 10k today. The weather was weird. Really damp and foggy. I felt like steam was coming off me. 

Congrats! Seems like the foggy weather worked out for you.

There was a little low fog when I ran through Beacon Hill Park yesterday, too. Was eerie and beautiful. 

Yeah. The fog was crazy at the East River. I saw only faint outlines of the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges. I should have stopped to take a photo.
