Like the others have said, pretty much straight away. Not so much the 33km coastal runswimrockhop I did in February - that was horrible and never again!At what point after a marathon do you switch from the "never again" to the "maybe again" frame of mind and will it be by November or later?
Great job!! These workouts always make me feel fast.View attachment 321883

So I did 6x.5 miles at Tea...I mean T pace and it was both okay and hard. Not bad moments with pushing moments with in the zone moments with how much longer??? moments with "this isn't bad" moments. I was supposed to do 1 min rests but I was on same little loop near my house so made it an even .1 mile since my plan said 5.5 miles and it got me close enough. I think I did alright and happy I got chance to do this outside (unexpected)
But I'd advise against eating a home-made burger and baked beans and ice cream sandwich about 20 min prior
Also I'm scared of this workout for mile intervals. So imma pretend that workout doesn't exist yet.
The pool opened in my neighborhood so I can start doing water walking again. I wonder how many miles I’ll walk in the pool this summer? Can we petition Disney to have a water walking 5K and characters can float by you as you walk and people with waterproof cameras can take your photos?
HEY GIRL!!!!
IT'S BEEEEN SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!
I literally just finished up in my job yesterday and finally have a day off. Starting a new job in a week and hoping I'll be a bit less busy. I've been meaning to get on here and catch up for AGES but just haven't found the time! Hope you're doing ok, was so lovely to see you back in November! Need to catch up on your updates but wanted to say hi!
I'm actually heading to Shanghai Disneyland on Sunday but my plan is get into a training plan as soon as I'm back as I've got the DLP half marathon weekend in September!
I can't believe I have not posted here since 5/31!!! I literally did not think it was that long, probably because I had been intermittently posting on the running thread.
I am doing okay but running around like a chicken with my head cut off (is that a saying people in Ireland know?) Work is insane right now, I am in an industry that is super effected by things going on in the world politically so it's just been non-stop. My mom is also not doing great, hanging in there but not quite the same as last year. Coupled that with mom-guilt of wanting to spend all my free time with my kiddo (and my hubby and my mom and dad) and the rest of my free time running...this journal has been a little neglected.
Updates:
I'm still running! I just ran last night at the gym. It was a fun one...1 mi WU, 3x.5 mi at M Tempo (which is 10:18 so not too scary) and 1 mi CD. The previous one with 1.25 intervals was a bit more of a slog because treadmills...ugh. I think I would have faired better outdoors for the whole mental aspect of it.
I had a horrible cold a few weeks ago so my runs were blllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrchhhhhhhh But I just adjusted by effort and maybe shaved off a few percents of distance here and there when I just couldn't. And yes, skipped some runs. The cold was bad guys.
But I've bounced back since then.
I'm so busy that I can't think straight. It's really something...never had this in my life before even when I had a newborn. So running is a nice respite. All I think about is "nothing" and that's fine by me.
SHANGHAI!!!! I"M SO JEALOUS. That's sounds amazing. I need to catch up on your youtube vlog. A good idea for my next treadmill adventure!
