I did 3 miles with my daughter today. For me it was a short stretch, for her it was a workout. I'm really proud of her, she is so much better than I was on my second run. She's planning on doing the Medved Madness race with her brother and I next May.

That's what I like to hear Mega!!!

Easy 6 for me. 11,321

 

[SWScorch]

last "workout" before the race; 3 miles at MP. Ran 18:59 with splits of 6:17, 6:10 and 6:33 (when I saw I was going a bit quick I eased off a bit on the last mile). Felt like I was jogging. 2 up and 2 down for 7 total. 11,328

 

[Megatomic]

You've done an awesome job in preparing for the MCM Scorch, best of luck at the race and make sure to let us know how it went ASAP.

My son and I did 11 miles on our local rail trail. It was an extremely pleasant evening, the miles went by quickly.

I put in 3.5 the other day. Don't remember which day, because my weeks are a blur :\ I'll count Capt. Caveman's .6 in with my .5...

[SWScorch]

easy 5 miles today. It's weird not feeling all creaky and achy and tired all the time!! 11,450

6.5 miles this morning. I took a couple days off to rest from dental surgery (gum grafting). Fun times haha.

11,456

Go kick some ass tomorrow Scorch! Looking forward to seeing a speedy performance!

 

[InflatableBuddha]

12 miles this morning with some of my old running buddies. It was a great reunion long run. In a couple of weeks we rip it up on the relay race!

[iLEktron]

4 miles in gym. Will see definitely more over a period of time, I just started.

Total: 11,472

 

[kamper]

28k this week. Starting to wind down for the winter and also focusing a bit more on shorter distance hill training.

11,489

Interesting stat: the pushups thread is at almost 60,000 and is a bit older than this thread. That means that we're running almost a mile for every 5 pushups that are done. I'd say that's pretty impressive!

 

[empyrials]

another 3 miles yesterday. I need to change my workout days to sundays, because the gym was empty. It was so nice!

[DisgruntledVirus]

Need to add runs over the past week

10/20- short 2 miles before class
10/21- ran 5k (rounded down to 3 miles)
10/24- 2 miles with the dog for the first time, and he was dragging by the end of it so cut it short (planned on doing 3-4 miles but didn't want to leave him in my car alone)

So, a lowly 7 miles to add.


11499

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Ran 10k tonight before class.

6 miles added

Guess I'll add my mileage from the last few days here. Did about 5 miles around Arlington, VA with Ashlie and our friend T who was running her first marathon on Saturday, then did around 27 miles on Sunday. Ran 2:48:14, a huge 30-minute PR for me, for 6:24 pace overall. I will post a report later once I have more time. Ashlie ran 4:03 for a 17-minute PR, our friend C (T's husband) ran a 6-minute PR for 2:33, and T ran her first marathon in 3:02!!! Talk about a great day!! Now I am taking 7 well-deserved days off.

Scorch - congrats to you and Ashlie on a couple of huge PRs! Enjoy the well-deserved break.

(And your friends C and T are a couple of speedsters! Holy smokes! :Q).

I'm on a fast track taper with my first ultra coming up on Nov. 7. I'd almost forgotten how miserable it is to taper, especially with the awesome weather we're having. We did 3 miles yesterday and it was so sad to stop so short.

11,546

Oh and as of today all 3 of my brood are running in the races on Nov. 7. The younger two are doing the 5k trail race while my eldest and I do the 50k. I'm feeling quite proud of my family all of the sudden.

 

[Megatomic]

Wow, I just saw the note on the vBull switchover tonight. This is probably my last post in this thread until we are back up so take care everyone and enjoy running in the fall season.

 

[Megatomic]

Haha, it's back and I'm first to post mileage in this thread.

So, I've done a measly 17 miles since my last post. Taper week sucks, but I'm super psyched about the upcoming race.

[SWScorch]

Dude, you're doing the Mendon 50K right? If I'm around that day perhaps I'll be a cheerleader that day That's awesome that your kids are running too! That's crazy that you and your son are both doing the 50K! Good luck and make me proud dude!!!

I ran my first run after taking a week off today. Originally I had 3 planned, then I thought why bother even getting dressed just to do 3 measly miles? So I decided to do 5. Then as I was running I thought, well, I have a 6-mile loop, but if I want to do 5 I'll have to do an out-and-back, so I ended up doing 6. Felt kind of slow and awkward at first (like I always do after taking time off; even a day) but slowly returned to feeling almost normal by the end. Had some weird aches and pains and was regretting eating a huge dish of nachos with chili and pulled pork (so damn good though!) but it was great being out on the roads again. 11,569

 

[Megatomic]

Yep, Adam and I are doing the 50k and Ryan and Tiffany are doing the 5k. We are all excited, Tiffany more than the rest of us. She is making me really proud, her commitment is evident and so is her effort.

If you can show up that'd be great. We're shooting for a 5:15 or better finish, so that's about 1:15pm if the race starts on time.
