Eating cupcakes with dirty, nasty, evil, kid-touching, cheque kiting, smelly, fascist, dirty, evil, nasty, vile, disgusting, wife swapping, corrosive, horse thievin’ rai-SINS 
is for suckers.
Right on time, after adjusting for a nap and cars cutting you off!
You forgot the hyphen and to capitalize the SINS part. I am disappoint. Oh so disappoint… 
Fortunately my body still cooperates well, most of the time, with what’s now very slow running, including lots of walk breaks. 6.28 miles today in 80 minutes, including no walking during the first 2 miles averaging an 11:52 pace for those 2. 5.14 miles last night, comparable pattern. Been running 4 days a week, usually 5 miles on Monday nights at the local running store, two 10 K’s (just the distance, not races) and one longer but slower run. [Likely to cut back some from that, but hope to keep at least 3 days, averaging 5 miles.]
I did get a bad hamstring injury in a 5K race in June, mentioned earlier in this thread, that preventing any running for about 3 weeks AIR.

It’s likely just my size. I’ve got a buddy my age whose never stopped doing marathons. And I’ve done plenty of half’s in my day. But I’m 6’ and if I get ‘thin’ like almost a six pack, I’m 240. And I’m hardly thin. Too much weight to run realistically and not eff up my legs or feet.
Eh, I prefer weights and cycling. I really only run because it’s the best cardio to strip off weight fast.
I’ve paid attention to shoes as well, they make a huge difference.
Duh, cuz actuary!

Had a great run this morning, so bragging to y’all.
My usual run is 6 miles. First ~9:00. Miles 2-5 in the 8:30-8:45 range, and last mile either same pace, or fast if I am feeling frisky,
Today, ran 1st ~9:00, Miles 2-5 were 7:55-8:10, and last in 6:46.

Congrats. I ran a 10k exactly once in under 48 minutes, and that was 10 years ago.

Yeah, hills are brutal, especially at the end of a run.
nice run!
careful what you advertise, I’d see that and start walking.
I don’t got shit on y’all, but I’ve run about 7 of the last 14 days - several of those skip days being 85+ degrees F and humid, I’m not about that. Mostly posting here to keep myself accountable to keep going.
Just doing about 1 to 1.5 miles at a 10ish minute pace. I’m 50 pounds down from where I was 14 months ago, but much weaker. It’s very obvious how much less weight I’m moving though, even while weaker.
I definitely feel more mentally acute when I regularly exercise.

This. This is the reason why I really love a long run. I feel so good all damn day after 50 or 60 minutes of running that I don’t get from other workouts - bicycle, weightlifting, long walk or hike - regardless of the intensity of the experience.

Took a few days off, but back to it. Only ran one mile after work, but at a good (untracked) pace and was feeling much less destroyed at the end. Still was out of breath and sweaty in a way I used to not be until 3+ miles, but definitely is getting easier. Going to keep doing just 1-1.5 miles for another week or so but plan to increase to 2 soon.
