I was a coach who ran with my players. I was a hunter who ran to stay in shape. I was a dad who ran so I could keep up with my kids. I’ve always enjoyed running and have always enjoyed the benefits of running, I just never considered myself a runner.

Had a really good week for me, went a total of 22 miles in 4 workouts and my average time was under 9 min/mi for each workout!

I’ll be eating, drinking, and making merry!! No running on Thanksgiving except to the dinner table!

I’ve never really considered myself a runner, even though I’ve been running off and on since HS, until a few years ago.

I just felt like running!

No brag, but I welcomed the time change this morning so I can run before going to work!

A7: After laying off for the last two weeks, I was able to run 6.2 miles this morning in 55 minutes. I really didn’t think I would be able to keep that pace, very unexpected!

A6: I use MapMyRun app on my phone. It has served me well. I’m sure there are better ones and better devices, but I’ll be using this until someone convinces me otherwise.

I log a lot more mileage on the treadmill because of weather, but I still try to get the same distance.

A4: My running goal is to pass 500 miles for the year! I’m at 386 right now. My training goal is to be more consistent!

A3: Incorporate weight training with your running schedule and you will be better for it. As I have gone through some back issues in recent years, this has served me very well and my back pain is almost nonexistent.

A2: I’d love to run in the mountains, but at this time of year, a beach in So California might be a better choice!

A1: The Remember the Ten run in Stillwater. It is a race in remembrance of the ten members of the OSU basketball team that died in a plane crash in Colorado over 20 years ago. #RunChat

8 for me as well.

I spent my summers, when I was a kid, in the Sandhills, just south of Valentine. It is beautiful country and the scenic views along the Niobrara river would be incredible to run through! I agree, for me, it would take a lot of planning AND a whole lot of training!!

I’ve gone 15 miles each of the last two weeks! Working, slowly, towards 25 miles per week!
