How long after sickness before you return to cardio exercise? I’m only feeling good because of the medicine yet I’m disappointed to miss tonight’s fitness class. #runchat #runner #run #garmin

Running for a Maurice Salad Last year I used the Runner’s World Day-by-Day Log up until June. That’s when I went to Hawaii for 15 days. We did lots of exercise there but no runs. I wasn’t going to back fill in the days and I …

January milage is low but I’m filling my weeks with yoga x2, strength exercises, weighted vest + incline treadmill walks, & lots of cardio from snow shoveling!!

After work I did 60 min hot Bikram yoga (103°F) and then ran 1-mile slow on the treadmill…. And then ate leftover pizza slices and a king size chocolate bar. 😅 #run #runner #yoga #runchat

I recently rewatched Cool Runnings and this reminds me
“Sanka, you dead?”
Sanka: “ya, mon”

Just a few to start the year but not skipping on the cross training 👍🙂 #runchat

6 mile long run today! Not bad for not running all week long. Plus one “hill work” repeat after. Maybe next week I’ll do two.

Anyone read this book? I think runners would like it but non-runners, maybe not. And I am curious if any writers think about it. runningwithyourheart.com/2026/01/05/r...

Right! Like characters still need to eat!

Agreed! There’s also people in the room who would never shout out “can’t hear you!” in a presentation or lecture.

Very grateful/ thankful for the last two-weeks-ish off work (company closed for the holidays) 😃 but tomorrow (& all week) is going to be tough to get up at 5:15 am 🤣

I’m too impatient on waiting for the laptop to boot up that I couldn’t use this for every run recording. 🤣 I used to have a line graph for annual mileage though! I should look for it! (Next time I’m on 🤪) #runchat

Nevermind if you mean in regards to race fuel! For that I recommend to Honey Stinger chews but takes practice to see what works for you. #runchat

I eat enough for training but it’s still not “nutritious” though every once in a while I do make an effort on eating “well for a runner”. I do highly recommend the cookbooks Run Fast Eat Slow. I’ve had great running workouts using those recipes! #runchat

Weekdays are tiring and I like to get off the phone early and rest in the evenings. Plus they are filled w/ fitness classes, book clubs, and if I’m lucky, I’ll make dinner! #runchat

Slowly add distance. Even if you feel fantastic in the moment, don’t go crazy by “keep going”. I really believe too much of that and you’ll burn out and/or get injured. #runchat

Same! My mileage isn’t where it should be before starting training, though. #runchat

Running With Your Heart

This year I plan on blogging more! ❣️ I loved it years ago and I do believe it makes a difference in my training as I reflect more on what works/doesn’t work, adds a motivation factor, and I can learn from others as well as help others. #runchat

I use a simple paper notebook to keep track. Nothing fancy, keep it in the kitchen drawer. Date & distance! #runchat

Lack of warmups and strength exercises. We all need to prioritize it! #runchat

Mostly consistency and with that should come speed! Really want to get my average mile pace back down! 😀 #runchat

2nd Annual Reindeer Classic 1-Mile Dash Last Sunday I participated in a 1-mile Christmas-themed race! I signed up a few weeks in advance for the lower pricing (~$20) and to say “I’m committed.” That morning, it was snowing! I was really …

First one-mile race post-high school (15+ years) was earlier this month! Tell me what your winter goals are! (Running and non-running) #runner #run #winter #running #runchat
