Turned out to be not so rainy.
We did not do it in t-shirts and shorts.
Next up: Rás na hÉireann USA 5K
11:00 March 19th out of Davis Square in Somerville MA.
My man Rhys and I are registered. We may even do some training.
Now where did I put my green derby?
there is finally enough meltage by us to get a decent jog in without worryin' about a slippin' and a slidin'...
@Region Philbis,
Spring-like temps this week!
@George,
"record highs" -- music to my ears...
Hi
I am new. I walk every night for an hour after dinner.
@jerin0121,
I might do that myself when the temperatures get about 15 degrees warmer - and if I have time.
Welcome to a2k, jerinO
@jerin0121,
Ive been back wqlking my creek trqil since about September. I like walking in the woods over running along our back country roads. I lik to keep my eyes open to nature while Im on my jaunts.
My man Rhys and I did the Rás na hÉireann USA 5K road race in Somerville MA
today. It was 35 and windy. Brrr.
I go running once a week. Mostly on Sundays for approximately 6.5km (4 miles) which takes me 45 minutes.
I do this as supplement to body weight exercises which I do four to five times a week. I read here that a person goes for a walk every evening after dinner. I think this is a great habit and I will try to adopt it.
@helmi15,
Jogged on the treadmill yesterday:
34 minute 5k. Not too happy with this time (two weeks in a row). At least I didn't bail out of going to the gym as I was on the verge of doing so yesterday.

The NYC Pizza Run Combines A 5K With Slice Scarfing
Quote:But each year since 2009, the NYC Pizza Run has challenged that idea, daring fleet footed pizza lovers to run a multi-mile distance while stopping along the way to scarf down some slices. Astonishingly, race organizers say nobody has blown chunks attempting this activity.
@tsarstepan,
Can't really run these days (knees) - mainly trying to find time to walk.
I mashed my right foot on a rock while trail running over the Independence
Day weekend. It took a while to get it back to normal (i.e. not swollen and
sore). Now I am trying to build my running fitness back up. It's going slowly
to put it mildly. Yesterday I went for a mile-and-a-half run with Two-Mile
Mike. Mike sets a remarkably steady pace. We were doing 10-minute miles,
which seemed okay at the start, but by the time we had gone one mile, I
was sucking wind. I had to slow down to a walk for a bit.
I've got work to do.
@tsarstepan,
Are you gonna do that pizza run?
My tummy aches just thinking about it!

Nothing wrong with walking. It's all about level of effort.
@tsarstepan,
what if you do the race cold turkey, and then double back for a slice or three?
surely they wouldn't disqualify you for not eating during...
@Region Philbis,
I ain't paying $45 or 60 to run 5k. Sorry.... Just ain't doing it.
