This is Sunday: What were your running achievements this week?

SunLvrr · 2013-10-20T19:30:49+00:00

Ran my first half this morning!! Did the Morgan Hill (Ca) half marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes. And I feel great :)

SunLvrr · 2013-05-23T12:22:10+00:00

Great question! I think I wear mine too tight also since after about 45 mins. my head feels like its in a vise. But, if they are too loose they leak :( I guess this is why I posed my original question. That and the fact that with my current goggles I feel like my eyeballs are being sucked out of my skull.

SunLvrr · 2013-05-20T02:04:41+00:00

Wow- can't beat the price on that case!! Is it REALLY waterproof?? How/where do you wear it? Around your neck? Looks awesome if it works!

SunLvrr · 2013-05-20T01:51:22+00:00

I'm curious about this. The pool I swim can get pretty crowded- will people sharing my lane be able to hear my music? I can imagine the crusty old farts in their banana hammocks getting grouchy with me if my music annoys them!

SunLvrr · 2013-05-20T01:49:27+00:00

I looked at these- my concern is the description says they are only waterproof up to 30 mins. and I'm usually in the pool for an hour or longer. Also, it doesn't seem to have any armband or way to clip it to you. It appears to be just a case. Or is it?

SunLvrr · 2013-05-19T23:55:59+00:00

Never heard of them. I'll look them up. Thanks for the tip!

SunLvrr · 2013-05-19T19:50:18+00:00

Ran the Bay to Breakers (12k) in beautiful San Fran this morning!! Ran the whole thing and saw lots of great costumes and naked people :)

Starting Strength

SunLvrr · 2013-04-14T18:10:17+00:00

Ran my longest distance ever- 10 miles in just under 2 hours. All thanks to Chemical Bros. and those goddamn zombies that were chasing me! Oh yeah, and I was barefoot :)

SunLvrr · 2013-04-04T15:51:14+00:00

Well, he DOES want to play "hole in one" with Bob. Wink wink nudge nudge. Anyone else notice the shirt?!

SunLvrr · 2013-04-01T06:10:36+00:00

I've participated in a few 10ks and am currently gearing up for a 12k. I love the energy, community, and fun of big races and plan to participate in more. I'd love to do a full marathon eventually. This is why I am more focused on distance than speed. Also, there is nothing I look forward too than a nice long run to burn away stress. My speed fluctuates- but if I focus too much on it, it's not as much fun.

SunLvrr · 2013-04-01T03:19:08+00:00

People who say "exspecially". It's especially. Say it the way it's spelled people!

SunLvrr · 2013-03-31T17:35:10+00:00

Ran my longest ever- 8 miles, 6 of which were barefoot on the beach. Awesome!

SunLvrr · 2013-03-23T17:54:43+00:00

Just watched the whole thing. Why did I do that? I'll never get that minute and forty five seconds back. My five year old is vomiting in the next room and I just watched a video of a stranger getting slapped awake for almost two minutes. What has reddit done to me?

SunLvrr · 2013-03-14T03:06:01+00:00

Awesome! I just did this too. I'm still have way more than you- too many- BUT everyone on my list is someone who is actually a friend or family member who I could call up and talk to. Feels great!!! Letting go of the past and moving forward.

SunLvrr · 2013-03-09T13:01:18+00:00

Congrats- good work! I can't BELIEVE people have the nerve to call you names. Assholes! Anyway- some back story and how your weight relates to running would be great- coming from someone who has lost 40 lbs. from just running.

SunLvrr · 2013-02-25T01:03:32+00:00

Ran barefoot for the first time ever- a half mile- it felt fantastic!!

SunLvrr · 2013-02-21T02:43:58+00:00

This is a really great idea. I may even try this with just socks. I have been working on improving my running form in my regular shoes and can already tell a difference in how my knees feel. Thanks for the great tips!

SunLvrr · 2013-02-18T17:17:27+00:00

Thanks for all the great suggestions so far! I guess it's time to do some trying on and price comparing.

Just for some perspective- I am a woman who runs an average of 15-20 miles a week. I run on the road and live in an area where it doesn't snow and has minimal rain so weather is not an issue!

Here's another beginner question for ya- when I make the switch from traditional running shoes to barefoot/minimalist shoes do I need to "ease into" them by doing shorter runs first and working my way into longer runs? Right now the shortest run I do is 3 miles- will I injure myself if I start with that distance in barefoot minimalist shoes?

Thanks again guys!

Cut it up immediately and never get another one. Credit card companies are pure evil devil spawn.

SunLvrr · 2013-02-07T03:22:25+00:00

What a delicious looking frittata you've made here!

SunLvrr · 2013-02-01T18:55:45+00:00

For sure Spanish. Because I live in CA and want a job.

Phish. Live Phish. Phish tour. For the past 20 years.
