Thanks so much!
It’s gonna be my Saturdays reward. I was gonna have that reward anyway even if the science says no but the science is oky with it as long as you do it smartly/hydrated.

I found this plan quickly and am on it from today. I will modify it based on what the program folks tell me - first meetup this Saturday.

Looks doable.

When life knocks you down.... hmmm what smart thing should I say - I don’t know - running helps - that’s all.
That knock-out can be anything - can be that something inside of you died. Or mourning a huge loss or losses or all of the above at once within a short period of time. Just go running. This cold weather is great actually.

Oh - also music helps...

I am so excited for Saturday.

I’ve run marathons before, but for my last one, I found this plan really good at preventing training injuries. It’s not as aggressive as some plans, somewhat less time intensive, and I achieved my goal of 0 debilitating injuries

Thanks so much for sharing. Indeed, it is non-aggressive but still progresses nicely nonetheless.
Great to know it works.

Feeling fine
Thinking how to eat to run better.
And oh, wine reward earned for later!

I enjoyed meeting the group - their company made the run easy. I did not have to listen to music even - just nice chat with nice runners.

Skipped 3 miles.
Hope pulling extra work hours and cooking counts as XT or something.

6.5 mile-run/walk outdoors. Apart from runners, you see dog walkers this early, although it’s not too early.
Pace: 12’39”
It’s nice to be done by 9:30am.

Running plan is like antibiotics regimen.
If you skip one, just pick up where you left.
