What are my chances of qualifing for Boston running my first full marathon?

Your chances are slightly above average but very accomplishable. That's all I got .

Winter Running - Just do it

This is my first year of winter running. I finished C25k almost 3 years ago. Didn't run in the cold last year because well, it was cold . Now I love it! It hasn't been below 35 here but I'm only weird one running outside with shorts.

My gear includes a hat, long sleeve tech shirt, another shirt, shorts and gloves if it's windy.

My last run was...how was yours?

Happy New Year!

I've been slacking off, not running much and still no new shoes(gave up on my search). However, winter running has been great so far! It's fun starting out cold and warming up.

Anybody else still wearing shorts?

I had a total wait time of 0 seconds at the polls. No Line at all.

4 miles. It's sad not to see anyone at the park running because the of the cold weather and earlier sunset. The temp is still in the mid 40s - 50s so it's too warm for me to wear running tights, imo

I've found a new love for running. First it was the shoes. Then being able to run "long" distance. Now I simply enjoy going places without having to drive

Good: I made progress by starting my 1st run from the door steps of the house rather than driving to the park. It's 1 miler longer but nothing wrong with that.

Bad: My nasals became dry from the cold weather because I was breathing through my nose the entire time.

Ugly: My nose started to bleed due to a combination of dry nasals and not enough hydration.

Maybe I'll get used to running from the house. The idea of crossing traffic is very non-theraputic.

4 miles tuesday, 6 miles yesterday, 3 miles today and finally feeling like my old self again.

I was craving bacon earlier today and realised I haven't had bacon in almost 1 year! There is no bacon in the house and probably won't be for a while.

I ran 20 miles today. Not training for anything, just for the heck of it. There were lots of pain and walking towards mile 19. It took fooorrrreeever.

MelodyLea - Congrats! I thought you were running with a green dumbell at first.

Something happened after my run today. My legs felt muscular. They feel fit as if I have been doing something miraculous.

Has anyone else had this feeling?

Question(s):

I want men's running pants for this winter so I can run outside. It's the only reason why I didn't last winter. None of our local sports stores are selling them including Dick's Sporting Goods. I'll order them online but what do I look for and how does sizing go if they're the compression king.

First Race. First Half. 2:26

I obtained my original goal of getting a 13.1 sticker. I think I'm going to take a week off and rest my feet.

Webpro. Nice dolphin photo!
