Been quietly working since the CCC. 31 miles last week, probably 34-35 this week. Goal is to be at a steady 45-50 by the end of summer. I think a leap in mileage is going to do good for me.
Kinda the same, except I had a small medical procedure the day before CCC and was told not to run for two weeks. Got a few short runs this weekend and back to normal this week. Before marathon training starts I hope to average around 40-45 mpw.
Not looking forward to summer time temps at all. This morning was very nice though.

I keep having to put my disclaimer into my posts, I truly don't disparage anyone for being physical and moving. At least she's doing that.
But she ran a 13:30/mile 5k then rewarded herself with a 1500 calorie cheesecake, followed by wearing compression boots the day after? It's just too much for me.
So did anyone else watch Boston? I'm amazed at the athleticism required to run those 2 hour marathons. Those people are like aliens to me.
I try my best to encourage anyone running regardless of pace as well. But I've never seen such effort for attention and the things like those compression boots or whatever they are called are just a bit much. It's entertaining for sure.
I watched it on and off and thought I was just missing key moments in the race but it seems like the coverage was not the best.

Ran 13.1 miles this morning and thought a lot about what this day was like for my wife and I 12 year ago in Boston. Couldn't sleep so I got a early start on the run and figured why not just run a half. This date just messes with my head on what could have been and just how lucky we are certain decisions were made instead of what the plan was.

Fat Boy 5k is in the books. Had a goal of 23:30, actual finish time…. 22:23! Didn’t see that one coming but I’m not mad about it either.
Mile 1 - 6:59
Mile 2 - 7:15
Mile 3 - 7:22
Mile .1 - 7:05 pace
Been smoking ribs and chicken watching the masters and having a few beers to pat myself on the back.

Anyone running the Fat Boy 5k in Baton Rouge tomorrow (4-12-25)? Weather is looking great for a 5k in April. If you are running, whats you goal for the race?
Based on my training 23:30 is a realistic time. Got lazy after the half last month and did not keep pushing to get into the low 22 or high 21 range.

She did the 10 miler as well and did not have a good day she said. There’s a guy and his wife who run and have a YouTube channel. Watched one of his marathon videos from a few years ago and they ran a 3:30:00 ish marathon with stops to take photos with characters. That’s pretty impressive and he only has a few thousand followers. It’s such a small niche to try to reach its hard to get a big enough following for it to get to popular influence level. Lots of people try. lol
The big Disney folks are DFB, Mamonth Club, all ears, WDW radio, and the DIS. Those are the big dogs in that world.
You going in January?

How far did it fall when you tipped it over? Mine came off a luggage rack at 60 mph and didn't even get a hole in it.
It tipped over in the bed of my truck when making the turn out of my neighborhood. I was just going down the road to get ice to put in it and didnt think I needed to secure it. Guess I was wrong. I have put much cheaper coolers through a lot more hell. Kinda disappointed in the brand and not being able to buy a replacement lid.

Its about a 2"x3" hole. Thats probably what I will have to do, I just didn't want that to be my only real option lol.

Anyone have any luck on replacing the lid for one of their RTIC coolers? I have a puncture hole from when it tipped over and I am being told they do not sale just a lid.

I know exactly who you're talking about. She posts damn near daily. She's got giant fake boobs.
And her runs are like 5k's and stuff. I get maybe she's trying to motivate people, but seriously?
She seeks a lot of attention and likes on Facebook. Her pace is probably top 30% for Disney runners (Thats not much to get excited about). I do not think the runDisney group was meant as a share your daily runs group. Yet, here we are.

You are 100% accurate about runDisney Facebook group lol. I enjoy the folks who signed up to run Dopey and about 3 months before start asking for training advice lol. Theres also one middle aged women who was posting damn near every run on there with half her breast showing, with a filter to make herself look younger. More people are proud of finding ways to cheat the corral (proof of time) system to stay ahead of the 16min/mi requirement than they put into actually training for the races. I had my PW worse there a few years ago and now back to running, so I signed up for just the marathon in January to redeem myself. If you signed up, I am sorry. Each time I have ran the race it was 72-75 with 100%RH at the start. The next day after the run a front would pass and it was in the 40's on the Monday morning.

It's been about 7 weeks since I have stopped taking it and damn this sucks lol. I feel like eating all damn day, which I half way expected but thought that would go away after the first 2-3 weeks. The mental game is kicking my arse and I've gained around 5 pounds back. The crappiest part about all of it is even if I decide to just eat a stupid amount of food, I don't feel full. Its not worth it but my mind is weak. Even if I wanted to go back to it, our insurance changed the cost. My Dr said even if you go though all the paper work its still about $400-500 a month, which is stupid (also said its highly unlikely to get approved). I'm OT Poor so thats not really a option. Not sure what I am really going for here other than being frustrated.

Went ahead and picked the warmest morning of the year to attempt the 5k workout that was suggested to me from here lol.
Mile warm up -9:02
1k - 6:58 min/mi
2k - 7:13
3k - 7:22
4k - 7:28
5k - 7:33
Mile cool down 9:17
That did not go well at all. Goal pace was 6:30-7:05. Legs got tired fast and felt sluggish the whole run. Perhaps it was just a bad day... At least I hope so. May try again in another week or two to see if things improve.

For those who care, the Barkley Marathons got underway a bit before noon today. Good weather should result with multiple finishers this year.

For the most part flat. There’s one area with some hills starting at mile 8.75 to 10.25. On the course map it’s a loop in a neighborhood. Other than that’s, pancake flat.
Good course for friends and family to watch from downtown to see runners more than just start and finish.

Ran the Zydeco Half yesterday with good weather conditions. Wind kinda sucked, but temps were fine. Hit my sub 1:45:00 goal with a finish time of 1:43:51. Goal B was 1:42:30 ish and had a shot until the second half of the race. Pleased with the progress made since the Louisiana half marathon. Improved by 11 minutes in 2ish months.
Had a friend out running his first full. Went out of course to find him and saw some guy just laying in some guys yard around mile 23/24. Come to find out he pulled something in his back earlier in the week and was just in a lot of pain. I was told he was a BQ type runner, just not his day.

I haven't run since Sunday, it's weird talking days off during a training block but my right ankle where it connects to the shin was in excruciating pain and it was causing me to not want to run... So I'm gonna recover until it doesn't hurt. No need to push myself so hard I end up with an injury again, it's not worth it
Hope it gets better sooner than later.

Probably not the most popular race to discuss on here, but today was registration day for marathon weekend at WDW. Registration went live 10:00 AM EST and all spots were full by 11:19 AM. I am amazed by the demand for the race. I was lucky and got a spot for the full! It will be my first marathon since 2019, which was also my PW at the same location. Looking forward to seeing what I can do and perhaps a new marathon PR that would have been set in 2015.
