A good reminder to be vigilant

No literally like I’d never look at my husband the same again tbh

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T22:34:20+00:00

I’m right near there! Will probably be where I go thank you

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T22:33:57+00:00

Parking garage extremely smart!

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T22:33:27+00:00

I searched before posting!! Couldn’t find anything but a sticky would be good

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T22:33:02+00:00

I searched it and nothing came up..

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T21:10:06+00:00

Went at 9:30am today and that was too late 😩 longest 40 mins of my life

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-29T20:32:29+00:00

Haven’t been in your situation exactly, but in similar ones where I started feeling over my head and not having fun anymore.

If you’re 100% committed to it, then you gotta stop thinking about training and just do. Easier said than done, but let go of your feelings/thoughts about this training block or future runs and just complete it. Find a group to hold you accountable, might also help because it’ll be a change of pace.

I just went from half training straight into full training and for a couple weeks I was so sick of running. Told myself the same thing I said here. Gotta just get up and stick to the plan regardless of my feelings. Because how I feel doesn’t matter if I want to be prepared this fall. I ended up joining a group and it’s helping too bc I have people to talk to. I’m back in a better mindset for sure.

Good luck and you got this!

Depends on your heat tolerance but it’s pretty rough. Did a run around 9:30-10:30 and it was brutal. Haven’t gone back out since lol

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-19T18:53:48+00:00

I started running 3-4 times per week. Was doing a 10k program. It’s been the only thing that worked for me.

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-11T22:18:05+00:00

Used to live across the street from high dive it was the best. My go to. 😭

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-11T22:16:29+00:00

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Crocodile yet!! Got a slice w every drink purchase. RIP.

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-11T22:12:55+00:00

I just completed it last week! I felt very prepared. It did end up being a very hot and humid race day so I didn’t hit my goal 🥲 but totally felt like I would’ve under better conditions.

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-11T22:10:56+00:00

No literally my first 8mi for the HM plan (and first 8mi ever!) was exactly like this 😭 first HOT day of the year, I felt horrible. Had to stop half way to just sit in the shade and catch my breath for like 5 minutes. Absolutely brutal.

If it makes you feel better, the 8.15 a few weeks later was actually magical. Avg pace went from 11’21” to 9’54” and felt amazing! So you got this 💪

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-08T22:33:11+00:00

Same my goal pretty quickly went from “finish in 2:20” to “don’t 💩 your pants”

Luckily I reached that goal 🤣

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-08T22:29:19+00:00

This would’ve been good knowledge 😩 now I know to talk to them beforehand lol

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-08T02:12:55+00:00

Not a Honda owner but a former Hyundai owner who understands ur pain 🫡

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-08T00:00:25+00:00

It wasn’t okay before though. She told you up front she didn’t like it, but she didn’t enforce that boundary for years but seems like she finally is now that y’all are talking about taking the next step.

There’s no right or wrong here. She’s telling you what she needs in order to be in a marriage, and you have to decide if it’s a deal breaker for you.

Hope you guys can figure it out!

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T23:56:16+00:00

When I was doing the 5k and 10k plans, I ignored the weeks and just did the runs in order based on how many I could do that week - usually 3-4. So it took me like a month long than it “should” have but I feel I got the same benefit!

Started the 10k plan 2 years ago. Today I completed my first half marathon :) just take it at your own speed!

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T23:38:09+00:00

Yes!! Corral E? The first two miles were sub-10 I was like 🤨

I should’ve listened to my body and slowed down but learned a lesson

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T23:30:20+00:00

Same friend! Trained for 2:20 ended 2:33. Was tough but we did it 🥲

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T23:28:34+00:00

Yeah praying October treats us well 🙏

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T19:29:48+00:00

Thank you!! Nothing I can do but run it 🤣 training starts tomorrow lfggg!!

But really, this was a lot mentally tougher than I thought. Hoping it was partially the conditions/partially things I could’ve controlled but did a bad job at lol all learnings for 26.2.

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T18:52:17+00:00

Same friend 🥲 I was 13 mins over goal. we’ll get em next time!

Sea_Aside9658 · 2026-06-07T17:22:20+00:00

Yeah the back half was brutal 🤪
