The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Look like I'm ending February with 60.5 miles logged so far this year. Way off the pace for 500 miles over the whole year. Having that as the goal has been encouraging to go out more often than I probably would otherwise, though. So I won't quit on it yet
do any of you run with orthotics? is the fact that one needs orthotics evidence that one should no longer be running medium and long distances?

Guy in a city parks department truck drove up to me today and said he was closing the park (at two in the afternoon) so my run was just under a mile. Who closes a park?

Nonsense
That's total BS / I think the only way you can close a park is through a security threat or something. What were they doing? Cleaning it?

God only knows. I didn't ask. There's probably just no one on shift at 6pm to close the gates so this guy is doing it now. It's supposed to be "Dawn to dusk" but I've seen the gates closed before.

Run the Alamo 13.1. San Antonio, TX
Chip time: 1:52:40, average pace 8:38/mile
Beat my previous half marathon by nearly 5 minutes!
Race recap:
Signed up with two other people, but injury and covid kept both of them back. It was kind of freeing not having any peers to compete with, but I was pretty bummed to not run with my friends. It ended up being a great day.
Right calf had been tight last few days. In fact I skipped some workouts, worried that it was something minor that would affect my time. Planned on taking it easy but when the gun went off and I stuck with the 2 hour pacer, I was comfortable so I kept up.
Looked at my watch miles 1-3 and realized the pace group was going fast, but I was feeling great so I kept going.
Somewhere on mile 6 I literally forgot I ran miles 4 and 5, so that was an awesome feeling. I think from there I knew it was going to be a good day and just let the fun carry me
Lottta scenery. Old mansions. Lone star brewery. The missions south of town. Last half of the race was all river along a gradually rising hill back into downtown.
Crowds were fun. This was Texas Independence Day weekend, so there are a few people running in ridiculous gear. Racoon caps. Texas flags all over their shoes etc. There was a mariachi band at the halfway point, a drum line too. Great energy.
Calf stopped hurting in middle of race. Endorphins I guess.
Low point of the race was trying a cup of pretzels they were handing out and spitting it on the road. I bet people thought I was vomiting on the fly. But the salt helped. The mantra "nothing new on race day" really is good advice that I did not take.
I keep saying that I want to run a full marathon, and I do, but for my work / family life and for my sanity, I think I carved out a niche for myself and doing one or two half marathons a year now.
Can't wait to get out there again.
