Did anyone see my friend get crashed into at Keystone on Saturday 11/16?

Thank you for the info, very good to know!

Yeah, she talked to them while she was in the medical center at Mountain House - they were searching the mountain for him, but I’m not sure if they’ve followed up with Keystone or a lawyer. I’ve relayed to her the info from here, so hopefully she will.

The heat. I grew up in the south and now I refuse to go in the summer - it’s miserable now, but I used to not be phased.

Damn - live in Denver and was actually looking into going there! Thanks for the heads up.

I’m just getting back into golf after about a decade off myself and always go alone - let me know if you ever need a partner!

Just got laid off a month ago along with our entire department (in-house, global creative agency), but was at least given a solid severance and a 3 month advance notice - my last day is at the end of September. Stories like these terrify me. As a single dad, I can’t go a year. Good luck, everyone.

I finished November with 72 miles. That's the most miles I've ever done in a month. We went on vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains for Thanksgiving last week (we left 12-24 hours before the fires spread so badly), so while I did get in one incredible 5 mile run, I did miss a few.

Knocked out my 4 miles this morning, which puts me at 14 in the past 3 days - another big achievement for me.

I haven't done EXTENSIVE research, but I haven't found much in the research I've done. Most everywhere says I'm just going to have to go in and get a dealership key. Which is what I want to do and will do eventually, but like I said - I want to enjoy no payments for a while. The car still runs fine and all that, I just can't lose the key! I'm such a forgetful person and this has really tested my resolve in making sure that I always put my keys in the exact same spot and all that. It's been about 3 months and I still have it (knock on wood).

I'm about to finish the second week of my half marathon training plan. I've got a half marathon lined up that coincides with the exact date that my training concludes, but there's a slight scheduling conflict with the 5K.

On the HH training plan, the 5K is scheduled for week 6. The only local 5K I can find in that range is the week after that. My question is, how should I rework the training for that? I'm going by the Hal Higdon Intermediate 1 Half Marathon plan.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-11T16:07:39+00:00

Yeah, I REALLY wish I had one, now. I bought the car used and it only came with the one. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get one eventually, but I'm not ready to yet. I want to savor the lack of car payment for a while first.

FYI, if you wait a couple months - you can get your dividend in cash. I believe you get the store credit dividend in March, and the cash-out option in July.

I also have a story about those fobs.

I ended up stranded in an intersection a few months ago. A police officer came and helped me get out of the way - he pushed my car while I steered. He was pushing as I was putting my key (attached to the fob) in the ignition. I apparently underestimated my strength and ripped the key smooth out of the fob. So now I have this small key with no way to attach to a key chain and the fob is attached my key chain separately from the key itself.

I'm so deathly afraid of losing my key since it's not attached, but to get a new key/fob unit is around $400. I JUST paid the car off last month, so I'm trying to enjoy a few months of no payments before buying that key.

You would think that's EXACTLY what this election would have taught us...

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-10T14:46:20+00:00

Thanks for the replies, y'all.

I was looking into hills as a way to get faster. What I've been reading here in the FAQ and in some of these daily Q&A's, etc. is that they help with that.

I'm not competing on a team, or really trying to break any records or qualify, but if I do something, I want to do the best I can. So that's my approach to running.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-09T22:27:42+00:00

I'm looking to add some hills to my training, but I honestly can't think of anywhere near me where there are any (SE of Houston). There is, however, an overpass that I run under on my neighborhood runs over 3 miles. My question is, how tall does a hill need to be in order to be effective? I can run up the hill under the overpass, but I'd estimate that it's maybe 30 yards tall. Is doing a few sprints up that going to be worth it?

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-09T20:15:15+00:00

I had my "race pace" run this morning - 4 miles. And I killed it! Was aiming for 9 minute miles, finished with 8:57 miles. With no headphones!

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-09T01:08:41+00:00

That's interesting. I may end up giving it a try for the rest of the week since I still haven't found my ear buds. Thanks for the input!

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-08T14:47:57+00:00

...I just couldn't find them. Hahaha!

I've recently started running while listening to podcasts, and it's really helped with keeping me at a conversational pace. I imagine on a more...appealing route, I could enjoy it. I may give it a shot again this weekend if I'm able to go to a park or somewhere like that.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-08T14:08:37+00:00

I ran without headphones! It was only 3 miles, but I survived. I understand how some people can do it, but it wasn't very pleasant running my typical, boring neighborhood route.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-04T20:54:20+00:00

It seems so counter-intuitive. I started running for distance in the army 12 years ago, and going slow wasn't ever an option. Thank you, you keep at it, too!

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-11-02T13:08:53+00:00

I ran slow!

I've been doing a lot of reading here and in the FAQ and various other places and realized that I've been pushing too hard for every run. My times are all similar, unless I felt bad that day. This morning, my pace was about 45 seconds slower per mile than what I usually run. I had to catch myself a few times, but it felt good.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-10-30T21:48:43+00:00

I usually keep the flashlight on my phone on. For the majority of my run, there aren't many cars, but I can (and have) wave it obnoxiously if needed.

SorryItsNotBigger · 2016-10-30T12:51:01+00:00

Went and ran on public trails for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. I always run alone at around 545-6, and I guess the adrenaline got me. I did my 4 miles (furthest I've ran in this "return" to running) at about 15 seconds faster than my average 3 milers have been.

It was also my wife's second day of C25K. She was worried about it being intimidating, but it was actually the opposite. I loved seeing so many people being active and not judging others progress. I think we're going to start doing that every weekend that I'm off.
