I thought everything was okay this morning, till I had to walk up the stairs to my office....

 

[Binary_Bark]

I am going to regret this tomorrow

Was wondering where everyone is.
Hopefully this will motivate at least one of you to go out for a run

 

[Binary_Bark]

Anyway, think I need to take a few days rest. Struggled this afternoon with leg muscles going heavy and sore.
Not high heart rate this time.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Meh. Motivation is up the pole right now. With nothing to run for (no upcoming marathons or big trail runs) running has taken a definite back seat to slothing on the couch.

As long as people are out there representing, I don't mind. Haha!

I'm still running. But I overdid it a little during hard lockdown, so taking it easier now.

My first half marathon race was supposed to be in March. Kinda glad it was postponed, as I will be in far better shape when(if?) races start again.

Anyone else doing the CT virtual?

 

[FAZE MAZE]

Did my first midweek long run since June
Was 1C windy and dark.
Enjoyed it.
Was a slow run for my friends so I was able to keep up with my overweight ass

5:14/km over 20km is a slow run?

I'm sure i'd keep up... on a bicycle!

 

[Claymore]

I've just been chugging along, 5-7km four times a week, sometimes a 9-11km on a Sunday if I'm not too lazy. My dog is so fit now!

 

[Jehosefat]

I've been averaging 3 runs a week for a total of about 27 km for the last month according to Strava. Usually 2 "long" runs (about 10km) and then a shorter one (+- 30 mins) after a long bike ride (3-4 hours) on the weekend. (Also averaging about 6 hours on the bike a week and looking forward to getting back into swimming assuming my shoulder isn't still f**ked).

Doing half-marathon. Still haven't figured out a route. I want to do the Promenade, but fear everyone in Cape Town will actually do that route.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Heard a rumour that the CT virtual MAY count as an Oceans and/or Comrades qualifier. I wasn't going to bother doing it but if it does indeed turn out to be so, I might just give it a crack. Will see if it is true first

I have a nice route around the neighbourhood that I repeat twice over and that gives me just over 21k's
