That’s a very slow race. Most 10K races would have some runners well below 40 minutes.

I’d say pretty similar to last March. I’d not run or been to the gym in two weeks, between being sick and the weather. It was 32° and lightly snowing when we left the house. There were several long, gradual hills, which sucked. We’re still waiting for the times to be posted. I’d forgotten to time myself, and I missed a turn, so I added a little extra distance. 5 weeks until the St. Patrick’s 5k.

Trail run this morning, its been thawing here so some parts were slick. Its an up-to-scenic-overlook-then-down, about 4.5 miles total. Man, uphill trails are tougher than uphills on the road. Had to walk a minute or two a few times. Overall a nice time, hung out at the overlook for three minutes to take in the view.

First thing that goes on my running shoes is a tear where my weewee toe is. Am i rubbing against it too much while not running or something?
I get the same with my big toe. Its happened the last three pairs (2 different brands). Never happened before that.

My ex-wife’s big toe pops out of the shoe within a few runs. Talk about stress!!!

I am getting a lot faster. 9:07 per mile in 3-5 miles average this week.

Nice one this morning. 30 minutes out, 30:45 back on a levee trail (paved, flat) in 34 degrees and drizzle. Probably about 5.5 miles, the intention was to just keep running and don’t stop to walk. Working on getting time under tension as well as focusing on noticing when I needed to slow down or change breathing to active recover. Felt a little twinge in the calf muscle about 45 minutes in, was hoping I could work through it and not have it escalate to full-on cramp and thankfully it didn’t get worse.
Not bad for 48 years old and 250 pounds.

34 and drizzle is about as cold as it can feel. that alone is a stressor! after a run like that a hot shower and time under a blanket feels amazing
This happens if you have a straighter foot. Most people in America have a curved foot and as a result shoes are made using a curved last
As a result of your foot being straighter or your toenail pointing upwards you get a nice little hole in your toe box

Sort of sandbagged it
Did about 3 miles this morning. First run in a while. About 9min miles and didn’t feel like I was pushing hard at all. Might do the same route tomorrow and push the pace a bit and see how it feels.
