Running thread

whew! Guess I can back off the training.

A LOT of the people that I run with are going through something. And when you run with them it starts to comes out. I am learning to just listen. Its therapy.

Start throwing this in:
ā€œPerhaps, you are running away from your problems?ā€

I attempted to figure out where the Riverside Roadrunners were taking off today. I will not run with them again.

Their FB page said ā€œJoin us, the Riverside Runners at 7:30 AM today. Hope to see you there.ā€ So I went to Riverside Runners, the running store. I was there at 7:20. Nobody showed up. At 7:33 I started the route that is the usual out and back. On the way back, I didnā€™t see anybody who may have started late. I got back to the run store and there were tons of cars. Weird.
When I got home, I saw FB posts that they were there - at 7:40 (they all came at the same fucking time!!!). Well, they went the oppisite way. Its ā€œLast Saturday of the Month run toward downtown dayā€ I saw in a vague post from last month.

I am no longer going to try to run with them ever again. I am going to call them the Riverside Ruiners - the most antisocial, miscommunicative running club in the USA. I miss Kenosha Running Club! Yea. And Iā€™ll order shoes online. FLICK! them!!!

First time trying to join them I assume? You still got a good run in though?

No! No no no. I met up with them a few times when they did a fb/friend told me run

You know what. I have an atttude of ā€œif I donā€™t like somethingā€ Iā€™ll do something about it. I will start my own run club. - start at a coffee shop. Have a few selections of distances. - meet up at the coffee shop after and chat.

My playlist for a beer (Iā€™m doing NA beer) mile today 12/31:

  • Thunderstruck - AC/DC 4:52
  • Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne 4:52
  • Letā€™s Get Rocked - Def Leppard 4:55
  • Burn it to the Ground - Nickelback 3:31 (Yes - Iā€™m going into FLICK IT! mode)

I think Iā€™ll be able to skip to the next song way before the song ends, but weā€™ll see. I will post results.

I think I did good - - Beer Mile time was 12:36
Iā€™ll be the first to admit that NA beer is less carbonated than a real beer. My tummy didnā€™t feel like exploding ever during the run

Cā€™est impossible!

No one in my run group wants to run in the fridged cold at night - I get it.

define frigid.

but night runs in cold are difficult without dedicated trails that are free of ice and snow.

20 degrees, wind 10 MPH+ and Virginians (not WIā€™ites) - VAā€™ns = wimps!
Library near me has an almost 1/2 mile track. I should post some of the tell tale runs I try to do (think figure 8ā€™s but each time round I run a little closer from/to opposite edge on the track.

Signed up for March 1 Myrtle beach half marathon. FLICK IT! I just did a 7 mile run last Saturday. I felt good. I will do an 8, 9, 10, 12 in the next 4 weeks. Add another day of a 3-4 miler during the week.

Not running but staying fit for running while my heel heals. Got up to a balmy 39 today with blue skies so managed to get a January bicycle ride in. Have a hole in one of my shoes so my foot felt a bit frostbitten for the last couple of miles.
