Runners rope in...2011

[SandiF]

What is your race schedule for this year?

I'm back to official training and mixing it up this year to do a duathlon and hopefully a triathlon. This weekend I'm doing an adventure run through "orienteering"

NorthFace challenge in early May, 13 miles of trail running
Big Horn, 17 mile race in Wyoming, mid June

Eyeing a sprint triathlon for June, and will be doing a the Babler Beast duathlon in April.

Later in the year if application for NY marathon get accepted, if not, I'll sign up for the Marine Corp marathon. My sister said let's skip reggae marathon and go to Cuba for their marathon. Sounds like a good plan.

Re: Runners rope in...2011

I challenge you to do this 5 times every day Wendy.

Seriously there are times I will run up and down the stairs and mi nah joke sey di last three steps are the hardest. Great work out. All you need is 10 mins of this and 5 push up and you good to go.

DWL @ PEasie. Mi have a question fi aks that beena burn mi, and mi almost fraid fi come in here, but i want some feedback from the runnerses.

Ahm, how does one perform the minor likkle task of BREATHING!??&gt;! mi raw- mi nuh memba it being impossible fi ketch a breath (i used to sprint in hi sch).

So I find a couch to 5K guide and the 1st week them recommend 60 sec jog, 90 sec recovery. Ahmmmmmmmmmm wtfrench!!!! mi nuh tink mi rch 30 sec worth a jog I could not inspirate!!!!MI try regulate di breath, like keep it at a normal pace so mi nuh ccompletely bus. fawt- dat are imper-sible!!

Fast walk mi can do it seems, but it look like as soon as it come time fi lumba di xcess baggage a weight into a lite trot, is like mi cant mi poor lungs fraid dem cant manage, and mi stawt feel like mi need fi breath fast fast.

How oonu dweet. Oh yeh waddeava ilp, wid u likkle fenkefenke 2:0teva showoff!!!

Re: Shamrock Sportsfest...

Yes, did the Quivering Quads trail half marathon today. It had rained heavily in the early morning and the first 2 miles was nothing but a path of mud. One creek to cross and one foot got slightly wet. Thankfully, the weather felt okay. I finished it in 2 hr 5 mins.

I signed up for the Northface Challenge in upstate NY for early May.

Re: Jo..alking?

You made me BOAL!

I breathe in and out through my mouth. And my breath is short and shallow. Sometimes I'll take an occasional deep breath and exhale deeply. I probably have a pattern to my breathing however when I'm running, I'm breathing to the beat of a little tune going on in my head. I guess people who run with music playing in their ears do the same....

Re: Jo..alking?

ok mouth breathing! yipes dat mek mi think bout dry mouth (not to mention Sarah Paliinese type ppl). HMmmm short shallow breaths? I thought i was spose to have long even breaths to keep the heart rate down?

btw is a good thing mi couden run far, caw meeda prolly end up w shin splints. i went out lastwk, maybe 2 times and did about 30 min of the run walk combo, and satdeh mi get pedicure and when the girl was giving me the leg massage, my shins were soo sore!! Maybe if mi did actually jog more than 10 seconds meeda did inna problems. Aside from sch coach, do they have running coaches? guess i could finf out thru one of those foundation walk things,

Re: Runners rope in...2011

Well look at all the runners in here. I'm not one of you, but I do enjoy watching. Maybe hand you a cup of water or gatorade on the side of the road as you pass if I sign up for any of those groups.

Re: Runners rope in...2011

She took you for a joke. I had to check my niece once when she was just being bad and thought I couldn't catch her. I was like uh huh, I bet you didn't think I could move that fast.
