Weekly check-in on a Friday? Inconceivable!

How are you doing, running-wise? Any races run and/or coming up?

Northern hemisphereans: Are you running more now that it's summer? Or less now that it's summer?

Southern hemisphereans: How's the current running climate where you are? Yay/nay weather?

I'd love to get into running every other day, but it seems like so much work D:

Last summer I ran in the mornings a fair amount, but I've gotten out of that habit. Considering how not-well I do with running in the sun in summer, I should get back into that habit. Right now I'm toying with the idea of going for a relaxed but 12K 4/1 run/walk around 4 pm this afternoon, when it'll be sunny. That's probably not going to work at all :oD !

(But I would like to test whether it would be at all realistic for me to walk/run a ½-marathon in under 2:30 by later August. When I look at my current running numbers, it seems like it should be doable, but I have an inkling theory and practice may be very far apart in my case. So whether I can even run/walk 12K at this point would be a better indication.)

I live in a completely flat area, too, with just a very small artificially created hill in a nearby green area. I'm working up to doing some hill sprints runs on that, as it's supposed to be good for you - but yes, I'd pace myself and not do too many to begin with, since I'm not used to hills at all.

I think it's perfectly possible to do oneself injuries on hills if overdoing it, but since my main problem with running is pushing myself enough, I'm not a likely candidate for it. You may be more competitive, and so should be very aware of pacing yourself :o)
