It’s definitely red. So apparently I’m the perfect bandwagon fan at the moment. These are red, my Newtons are Kentucky basketball blue

Smh 👎🏼

My cross trainers aren’t actual Tennessee Nike’s, but the color scheme definitely works:

I found some Gel Quantum 360's on steep discount and they are amazing to run in. I am trying to find out how many miles I get out of them to see if they are worth the full price. Right now I am at right about 200 on them.

[Unknown Muppet]

Yeah. I have run in those since I started minus one experiment with Brooks.

The new balance store at opry mills currently has a sale buy one get one half off and it includes the USA made line, which are generally not part of their sales promotions. I went to get a new pair of 993s and picked up a pair of 1540s since I was getting a pair half price. Looking forward to trying out the 1540s.

Sometimes it’s nice to just run and not worry about pace and distance. Just went on a lovely run for about an hour.

I can and usually run without a care about pace when training. I do however care about distance always lol.

What's funny though is my PR for the half marathon was when I didn't have a watch on (I had forgot it that morning).

 

[YankeeVol]

5K this morning. Real feel temp was 4 degrees.

Came in 6th overall

That's awesome on you, but my Run Outside Meter reads "Nope" at the moment.

6.05 this morning. 49:49

Doing the Predators Fangtastic 5K again next month. I also signed up for a half marathon the first weekend in Feb down in Lebanon.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

I set a two minutes PR at the Fangtastic the one time I ran it because I got pissed off with my time on the front half and then sprinted the entire downhill of Demonbreun. Pissed some people off in the process too.

 

[YankeeVol]

Half marathon tomorrow

Which one?

 

[YankeeVol]

Which one?

Cedars Frostbite in Lebanon. Wasn’t a bad course, I just wasn’t feeling it today

 

[ButchPlz]

Finally a bit warmer out, so I got my first actual run in this year. Pretty slow, 28:30 5k. Last fall, I was doing 5k distances in around 22 minutes- hope to get back in that kind of shape.

 

[volfanbill]

A bit warmer you say?

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Ha!

 

[bignewt]

ran 5.25 miles today, gonna try and do a 10k for the first time in the next week or two...
