This feels like a safe space so I'm gonna overshare. When I was running actively, I did 3-5x/week, depending on the plan, with 2-3 barre classes per week (my barre class is more cardio than most but also has some strength training). In March 2022 I stopped running (a whole bunch of things went...

I uninstalled Strava because I felt so crappy seeing all of my friends running 3-5 min/mi faster than me. Thankfully nobody ever said anything negative to me but I still was so afraid of posting there. So I totally understand this. I'm glad you feel comfortable in the rD community!

Right now, 0, maybe 1. The most I've ever done was 5, during marathon training. It did not work for me. I think my sweet spot is 3 times per week, with an occasional 4th run towards the end of a training cycle. I do 1-2 rest days per week (that depends on my schedule) and try to do 3 cross-training.

NYC has a pace requirement and re-opens the streets BUT they also let you keep running on the sidewalks and they have a DJ and people stay at the finish until the last person finishes (I've actually been to the final finisher event a few times, it's a super fun vibe).

I love the idea of numbers in spoilers! That way people who like the numbers can share + see others share but those of us who are team "get those stats away from me!" can feel comfortable here too.

April Total: 9.7 miles, all treadmill (was hoping to get in 3-4 miles outdoors but it just didn't work out). That was at an average of about 12:45 min/mi, so add me to team "on the slower side." I used to run faster (not much, but faster) and I actually hated it. I'm happier when I run slower...

I was in the beta for this and I have mixed feelings. It looks prettier but harder to find some information. The key for me was figuring out what was most important to me and putting that as the first item in each section. Anything that isn't that first tile isn't super easy to find.

Yay! Huge congrats @dis_or_dat and @xjillianpaige !

March 2024 Running Total: 18.9 miles (1.4 outdoors, the rest treadmill) This was my highest mileage in over a year. April is going to be a down month because of scheduling but my goal for May is 20 miles/at least 3mi outdoors. Slowly but surely, I'm coming back.

Yeah I've noticed that their races have been selling out fast. I was casually looking to see if there was a short race I could do in May or June and they're sold out through the summer. I guess everyone is trying to do 9+1.

This shoe discussion is a nice reminder that I need new shoes. I find myself rolling inward when I land when running on the treadmill (which is where I do most of my running these days). Outside seems okay but I've been doing a lot less outside (did my first outside run since Disneyland today)...

A whopping 6.9 miles in February, all on the treadmill. This is down ~5 miles from January but considering I had jury duty at the beginning of the month and a cold at the end of the month, I'm not surprised. I'm hoping that next month I can up the mileage and maybe even start running outside a...

If it makes you feel better, I once tweaked my back sitting in a chair. I don't know what I did but I was fine one minute and the next was agony. I had to take almost 2 weeks off of all exercise. Hopefully you'll be back up and running tomorrow!

Technically you could do the 5K on Friday then fly up to NY Friday night or Saturday and be there in plenty of time for the marathon.

I absolutely love the themes but we have some new-to-runDisney people potentially coming with us and one of them is very bad at advance planning so I have like 2 weeks to convince them that we need to register the second it opens.

As someone who is looking for a new shoe and doesn't want to spend any money, I would say always keep sale shoes that work. Always.

Welcome to the Feetures cult! These are absolutely my preferred running sock. I got a bunch during a 50% off sale last year and will probably buy more next time I see them on sale. I wash and dry them in the delicate cycle and haven't had any problems with that (although they tend to not always...

January Running Totals: 11.1 miles 2:58:49 hours Most of that was treadmill during Orangetheory classes. February will likely be more of the same but I'm hoping to try outdoor running again in March.

ATTQOTD: Completed: Disneyland 5K ✅ Upcoming: ???? Nothing on the calendar as of yet (... I haven't even started running again yet). I'd love to do Wine & Dine but there's no way I can make it work with some other scheduling things. I don't know yet if I'm interested in local races. So most...

We had one PPP tell us that they would only do the runDisney magic shot if you specifically asked for it (my sister had seen it on marathon weekend pictures so she knew to ask). But we also had photographers who gave it to us without asking so I'm not sure if that was actually true. We had a...
