I had a great three mile run this morning. It was a brisk 28F, but it felt great since there wasn't very much wind. I tried out a new route and managed to keep my pace at around 11:30 the entire way. I haven't felt this good after a run in quite a while. I'm hoping to have a similar experience tomorrow!

Sorry to hear about your run, Doug. I hope you're able to get rested up and get back out there. I haven't had to run in slush and yuck yet; I've been pretty lucky. When it's been icy, I've worn the Get a Grip Pro ice cleats and they've worked very well.

Hope you're all having a good week, Long Haulers.

Kevin,

I know what you mean. We do not get the humidity but the heat can be pretty bad during the summer.

You know, I was involved with a tread on another forum here. I made a mention how I am tired of people who sign up and make their first or second post and all they are doing is complaining about how bad CR is. If these people feel it is so bad here then they should just leae and stop bothering the people here who are trying to use the forum. I feel if they were to leave to RA or KR for a short time they would be back. It is not the software that makes the forum but the community. Of course these same people attacked my response.

Do others feel the same as I do and are just tired of how on other forums here people just whine and complain and say over and over how they are going to leave? It is getting old. Active knows the issues people have but software development takes time. I trust they will fix the issues people have but we will have to wait a while.

Mike.

Wow, we're not posting all that often anymore.

I did another 3-mile-and-change run this morning, again changing up my route on the fly. It wasn't quite as good a run as yesterday's, but it was still excellent. It was a little more windy than it was yesterday, which detracted from the experience. Mostly it just felt good to get out there and do something!

Tomorrow's my last 3-mile run for the week, and Sunday's a 7-miler. As always, I'm a little nervous about the long run, but I'm looking forward to tackling it (then going off to grade stats homeworks).

Hey guys,

Since November every time I run I get some hamstring pain. I feels like normal muscle pain and the following day it feels better. This year I started running HHST which has me running three days straight. By my third day my legs a pretty sore. After a few days of rest the pain is subsided. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? I am stretching and walk before/after each run.

Hello everyone, I'm still alive, just not kicking very hi. The weather has been nasty here all week, and I haven't felt like getting out and trying to run. I have gone to the gym and did some core exercises and worked on my arms and legs, but no cardio. Today I have just started feeling better, maybe tomorrow I will feel like getting out and running some.

I hope everyone stays healthy and enjoys their training.

Happy Running,

Frank N Mississippi

How is everyone doing. I have been really busy at work and unable to post much but I have been putting in my miles. When you schedule your runs at 4:30AM you do not have much going on to get in the way. Anyways, though I am quiet I am still out there and hope everyone is doing fine.

Run well everyone...

Mike

Frank,

Right now my thinking is I am to poor for a GPS watch however I did look into them and will get one this year. In order to make the 405 the size of a normal watch they took out these features:

* Routes
* Multi-sport (changes sport mode with a press of a button)
* Pace alert (triggers alarm if you vary from preset pace):
* Time/distance alert (triggers alarm when you reach goal):

I posted the question about this on the Basic forum and a lot of people said they do not use these functions on their 305 anyways. I really like the size of the 405 but the price is higher and I think once the 405 comes out Garmin might drop the price some more on the 305 since it would then be their old unit. I like the idea of the 405 having the wireless sync....... My thinking is I will go with the 405 because I can use a new sports watch anyways, my G-Shock is well over a decade old and shows it. Oh, the 305 does have a bigger display of that is important.

Mike

Kevin, good luck on your 5K this weekend. Let us know how you do.
