Good Job Salad!
How much actual running did you do?
Some friends of mine did it in around 18:30:00, and they said they hiked the whole thing, never ran at all . . .

Jebus,
Is your pain where the upper front calve muscle meets the bone just below your knee? Very close to where your patellar tendon meets the shin, but just to the left?
Tibialis Anterior?
If so I've been having the same pain. My running coach said it could be a form on strain on that muscle from the pounding of running downhill. I've been icing religiously for the past couple of weeks and have noticed an improvement. I also have continued to run on it, with my longest runs being about 12 miles. I just have to warm up to it.

Nice jaunt down the canyon - I wanted to do that last month, but the conditions were too icy to move quickly. You inspire me to go back another time and get it done.
It was kind of aerobic for the team snow & avvy rescue exam. I take heart when I keep up with the young men 1/3 my age. Of course they were toting a litter while wearing a backpack and I merely wore a backpack. A nice cool down run afterwards along the Snoqualimie River.
On Sunday, got in 12 hilly miles and finished it stronger than last weekend. I was fine afterwards; no siesta required.
Worked with the trainer for an hour focusing on legs today, followed by a 5 mile run in brilliant sunshine.
Here I come refirgerator!!!

Latest research info...On fresh air today......
http://www.npr.org/2012/05/09/152336802/stand-up-walk-around-even-just-for-20-minutes
Federal health guidelines recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise — such as walking or jogging — every single day. But new research shows that even regular exercisers may not be doing enough to counteract the health hazards of sitting down at a desk all day long.
"Sitting for long periods of time — when you don't stand up, don't move at all — tends to cause changes physiologically within your muscles," says Reynolds. "You stop breaking up fat in your blood stream, you start getting accumulations of fat ... in your liver, your heart and your brain. You get sleepy. You gain weight. You basically are much less healthy than if you're moving."
Reynolds recommends standing for two minutes every 20 minutes while desk-bound — even if you can't move around your office

3 Rounds (as many as possible in one minute, then move onto the next exercise)
1 minute of each:
Burpees
KB Swings 24/16kg
Sit Ups
Row (calories)
Squats

So should last 17 minutes total,b/c the last minute is rest
Count your total reps
I managed 342!

I'll play.
I got into running in 2009 after blowing a string of big mountains. Everybody that I know, that does big peaks, is doing Ultras, 80 km XC ski races etc. Comes that time, when you've gotta reach deep and it's gotta be there. Mental only gets you so far.
I can't do an Ultra. May never. Managed to crawl through the finish of my first Full Marathon last year. This week, I'm running 10k (6.2) miles a day. A 10k race Saturday, 4 mile race Sunday and a Half marathon a week from Saturday.
It's been more fun than I expected. The 10k, will have the fastest 10k runners in the world. Pretty amazing to be part of it.

Ran about 3.5 miles today for my 8th day in a row of aerobic exercise. I feel so friggin' good. Running is so much harder than biking, ain't it?
Zbrown, you burly old beast. You'd kick my ass in a mile run.

^Hi Steph. I am energized by the fact that I am apparently not going to require surgery on the "extruded fragment" of my meniscus as the ortho doctor said. I was on the elliptical for so long I thought I'd be there for ever.
I mentioned Goggins a while back up thread. Lest we all become complacent.
Every day, he’s up and running by 3 a.m. After a 20-mile run, he bikes 20 miles to work. He runs at lunch, if he can. Then it’s back home (on the bike, of course) to join his wife for weight training in the gym. He’s in bed no earlier than midnight most nights.
“Running is running,” he says. “It hurts, but that’s all it does. The most difficult part of the training is training your mind.

Just got back from 8 miles in glorious sunshine. Jumped on the Wildwood trail and enjoyed the rhodies blooming. Found a lad lost on the trails. Had him follow me back to his car.
I entered two 1/2 marathons that are cmong up. Got to have a goal. Also have a couple of mountains coming up, and that trip to the Sierras. Many reasons to keep those lungs working hard.

Reeotch - i did not run much of it. south kaibab was steeeeeeep and my fat ass and old joints tried to move but it was tough. getting up to north kaibab from phantom ranch was mostly up hill. i ran a decent amount from north kaibab to phantom ranch.
i dunno.. i guess if it was a mellow downhill pitch i jogged it. some flats i jogged. slightest incline i walked. i didnt really train much for it... would like to shave 3 or 4 hours off.

Just 5 miles today. Tomorrow - hello Mr. Rock, but the reunion will be far too brief. Maybe a couple miles in the PM. I was planning on the Mother's Day frolic up St. Helens with my ski gear. It will have to be a very early start as the avvy conditions have prompted a rare springtime warning from the NWAC. Maybe I'll go climbing instead. Weekends are too short.

Skate skiing the local ski area is fun. Up blue runs and down black runs while keeping the effort under control is a good aerobic session. Fortunately Baker is a small ski area...
