Thread almost fell off the first page... can't let that happen.

3.2 on Wednesday and 3 mile trail run last night. Been a while since I have done a trail run. I had forgotten how much I enjoy trail running.

2.7 Wednesday, beer run last night. I should start training for my 50 miler... I was approved for time off for a 9 hour run in two weeks.

Yesterday was National Running Day... did anyone else partake in the event? I got two miles with lots of hills in yesterday

I did a hash run. Drank more beers than miles ran.

I don't think that's a bad thing. lol:

I spent National Running with first day of Physical Therapy. 5 "simple" stretches had me in pain that I haven't felt in weeks and realizing (and being told so) that I'm still quite a ways from being able to run.

Just signed up for the Team RWB Firecracker 4 or 10 Miler. I will be doing it "virtually" since I'm in Kosovo.

I have been seeing a lot of this virtual race stuff. How does that work? How do you submit your time or whatever?

This is my second "virtual" race. You just sumbit your time. I wear a GPS watch anyway so.

3.5 trail run Sunday morning. Had plans of running yesterday but strong storms changed those real quick.

Hydration is essential.

Bout time for some new shoes.

:yes:

When it's this hot it is easy to get dehydrated quickly.

Know what you are going to get?

Not certain yet. Needs to be under $100 and on the durable side. Last time I got some really nice and light shoes, but once they got worn out I started to get stress fracture. Meanwhile my heavier more basic runners still work comfortably even well worn.

That said, I need to be less of a cheapskate when it comes to keeping fresh shoes on me, but such is life.

Learned my lesson (again) last night on my bike ride. Heat exhaustion sucks hard. I've never felt that miserable after a ride.

Also just my energy level after a full day of hydration was amazing.

A lot of times you can go to a running store and get the previous version of a shoe for pretty cheap. Also I have noticed that Academy Sports sells Brooks and Asics running shoes. Might be able to find some you like there for your price range.

3 miles last night. I waited till 7:40 to run and still was just soaked. It wasn't so much the heat as it was the humidity. It was also a road run instead of a trail run that I have been hitting up the last few times I have ran. I think I am going to stick to trail runs for a little while.

If you know you like the shoe and know your size, runningwarehouse.com is a great source for previous models. Might even find a coupon at retailmenot.com

I haven't ever heard of those websites. I will have to check them out.

Yeah, when I was finally home and ate food I felt amazing. I drank plenty of water during the ride, but not really any beforehand.
