A little over 10K yesterday

I went for a run last Sunday for the first time in years (aside from 15 minutes on the treadmill to warm up at the gym). I ran for 40 minutes and when I got home I google mapped my route to find out it was 7km. I was pretty surprised I went that far. I've planned out a 10km route that I want to be doing by the end of summer.

are you back to running outside?

Yeah, I haven't run on a treadmill in a couple months

The marathon I'm registered for starts at 7am and is in downtown Detroit where there isn't much of anywhere to park so I'm looking at hotel rooms, but the only one that's within a mile of the start is $200 for that night.  Hmmmmm....

Screw it, reserved the room.  If I change my mind later I can cancel up until the day of.

Hey, I found my HRM!  Woohoo!

13.23K this morning, which might be the furthest I've ever run in my life.  Next weekend I might try a 10 miler. 126K for the year.

Edit: also, negative splits yay! Started at 10 min/mi, finished a little under 9

7.65K yesterday, 134.36 for the year
Lifted today and I am weak as a child.  Tomorrow I'm gonna try for a 9-10 mile run

16.07K today, exactly 10 miles.  150.43 for the year.

oh god my legs

Mike or jen, is there a video or website you'd recommend on proper erging form?  I did 500m when I was at the gym on Saturday and I could feel that I wasn't doing it quite right.  Seems like it'd be easy to hurt your back if you weren't careful.

I did come across a video that showed a step-by-step and I'll try to find it again.

Note that your concept2 machine needs to be on a picturesque floating doc in order to really have proper rowing technique.

Mine is next to treadmills and a line of girlbutts so I'm ok with that too

[Mike]

They are easy to move so you can achieve optimal girlbutt viewing

There's a 50% chance on thunderstorms on Saturday for TM.  Hooray

A little over 4 miles yesterday, TM tomorrow

[Govtcheez]

Just finished tm. I'll post thoughts when I get home
