I tried on Friday, but it was really really bad. Felt like I couldn't breath at all, pressure on my chest and everything. Am resolved now to wait with running until the worst plant pollen time is over for me - with no rain and that much stuff in the air I can practically feel my meds fail. :(

Pollen allergy must be /o\ :o(

[dancing_serpent]

It is. Not every year's as bad as this one, though. Fortunately.

I had a wonderful run in my hometown forest on Saturday, in beautiful warm sunny weather - running 5,4 km in one stretch for the first time this year, and in 33:08 mins, which I'm immensely pleased with \o/

I run on concrete in Copenhagen, and it's so hard on my knees - the Saturday run again reminded/made it clear for me that I need to be better about biking the 2 km to the place where I can run on gravel paths instead!

So happy you are having such nice runs lately!

I've been doing less running and more working out in the gym, lately. This weekend, however, We were on a trip to a beach town we love, and there's a gorgeous creekside trail to run on. I ran 6k on Friday evening, 7k on Saturday afternoon, and 5k Sunday morning. My times weren't good, because the bird-watching was so incredible. I kept having to stop to watch things like the Osprey diving for fish, the Great Blue Heron feeding chicks in the nest, the Wilson's Warbler singing its little bright-yellow heart out. All in all, a great weekend for running, despite the light drizzle that dampened the trail.

Yep - been running outside again since the end of last month. Averaging about 15k a week at the moment, hoping to up that as the weather gets better and I get fitter!

Unfortunately I am injured and had to cancel my planned marathon (this weekend). The last two weeks I have not run at all, and today I finally got in to see a podiatrist who diagnosed probable stress fracture, so I am on crutches for at least 3 weeks.

[nanila]

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you heal quickly. You're very inspiring, I hope you know!

[ilanarama]

Aw, thanks so much! I hope I'm not inspiring anyone to break their feet, though! Because I wouldn't recommend it. ;-)

[sophinisba]

That sucks, I'm sorry. :(

[ell]

Oh no! I hope things heal well and quickly!

[blnchflr]

Oh, I am so sorry to hear it :o( - I hope you have a good recovery, *hug*.

Tri-training is still going apace.

Runs this week totaled just under 2 miles with a nice 6 mile on Tuesday, a 4 mile tempo run on Thursday morning, a 2 mile tempo run Thursday night after a 15 mile bike ride up a mountain and another brick on Sunday with 5.5 miles after a 20 mile or so ride :-)

(I kind of can't wait for the tri to be over...)
