Anyone here tried this new thing called "jogging" ?

Thankfully no rain here recently.
Hope you get a break from it soon!

CNN : Extreme weather kills 21 ultra-marathon runners in China.

That is tragic. Before I read the article I thought that they would have succumbed to heat. I was surprised to read it was the cold. Weather can be tricky. That is really sad. 

So I only ever run 3 times a week regardless of which event I have entered. With walking to work and being on my feet all day at work, it's just what works for me. Here's my 3 for this week. A good tempo in the week, 8 miles with some hill repeats on Friday and today a long run, a little faster than the goal 100 mile pace.

The sun even made an appearance today!😁

Damn, 21 miles in, strong work!
Ran 5 days this week although usually it is four.  Think the program I may select will see 5 days so tried it out this week, will see how I feel tomorrow.
Had to do dreadmill the last few days and it was awful.  After running outside it seems like major punishment or something, lol.
Started watching a doc about a badass runner doing Bob Graham - so many inspiring people out there.

Need to finish up, was interrupted and need to watch the end.
One of the people I read recently advocated for three days a week. 
For me, so far at least, I think I do better if I do more frequently. Course, my body broke down last time so I guess we will see this year.
Enjoy your camping time.
I'm going to VT tomorrow for a week and expect I may have to treadmill a but but at least for the weekend run I hope to get out to some nice trails.  Can't really run on the roads in the town where I'm going as there is no shoulder and it is a ripe area for ankle rolling.  Perhaps on some dirt roads, will see.  As much as the huge hill runs available sounds exciting, not fucking my ankle up sounds like the smarter way 

I'm not always one who takes the smarter way.....


Enjoy your camping with the family!  We need to do that soon.

Enjoy Vermont. I hope you find some good trails to run. That sounds like fun. Just be careful!!

Fantastic film that one! She's incredible. Check out her kilimanjaro ascent... Under 7 hours! I had the privilege to climb in 2011... Took 5 days 😂

The hills would be exciting.. I'd say go for it, could always 'power hike' and run the runable sections. Be a shame to miss out on something awesome like that.

Wow you climbed that?  Very cool!
Will finish this watch and check that out as well, thanks.

Thank you both for the encouragement....I will find a way to get some scenic stuff in.  Grew up there so the beauty is not new, but nothing around where I love now approaches the landscape there.  I've done a race up there but never a solo expedition.  Looking forward to it.  Perhaps I can get my sister out with me, she is a Spartan freak.  

Yea an incredible experience. Although Trekk is a more accurate word than climb. Some scrambling on the route we took. we have some really nice, scenic and technical mountains here in the UK but nothing high enough to challenge you altitude-wise, so at 19340 ft that was 100% of the challenge. The distance and gradient (until the last night) really wasn't too bad.

That sounds pretty cool - was she happy with her run and hydrating?

Got some nice runs in VT.  Went to a mountain on NH yesterday and climbed....pretty taxing for a workout, took us seven hours.
The hiking parts were fine, the rock work was tough.
From the summit you can see MT Washington, which is the highest peak in the Northeastern US.

Incredible view! And such a motivating, encouraging notice 😂
