I really wish I could go for a run right now.

Haha thanks! This really means a lot to me.
Anonymous asked: Just commenting on your knee pains. Have you thought about wearing a knee band? I started to develop knee pains during XC this past season, and wearing this running band by Mueller helped a ton. Good luck with everything!
p.s. I'm in my last year of college and still don't know what to do except the fact that I'm going to still keep running. I'm okay with that.

Runners Never Regret A Run
I was laying on the couch watching the TV show “Gangland,” and I hadn’t run yet today. I knew I had to, but it was so hard to get off the couch. Once it came to commercial, I just got up, went to my room, got my running clothes, changed, and laced up my shoes. I walked out that door in my short shorts like a BOSS.
My knees hurt pretty badly in the beginning and I went 7:55 and...
As soon as I got outside for my run, I was GIDDY...

My Run
I went 4.17 miles in 31:51 minutes. My average was 7:39 I think. My knees hurt like hell in the beginning and got a little bit better in the end. Also in the end, my legs started getting pretty tired. Despite all of this, I was still able to roll out some decent miles.
My plan is to run at least 4 miles everyday until school starts. If I’m able to run 7:30s with my knees and legs hurting,...

BROOKS PR SPIKES!
So my sister works at this shoe store and she is able to get things at the wholesale price (like 50% off). SOOOOO, I am getting the Brooks PR Spikes very soon (which come out January 3) and I can’t wait! They are usually $60, and I think I’m getting them for $30! HELL YEAH! I got connections…
usualchatter asked: Snow shoveling really is a workout, depending on how fast you try to do it or how much snow there is. But yeah, there's no good substitute for running. The closest I've foun has been a very long cycling tour. Never a stationary bike.

A Lesson: Run While You Can
This is an incredibly important lesson I still need to learn. If you have not run for the day and you have an hour or two when you can then GOOOOOOOOO!!! Seriously. Because you have absolutely no idea when another chance will arise. You may get snowed in and not be able to run for days. Anything could happen that would prevent you from running. So if you have that time, don’t waste it doing...
miserablesound asked: I hate you. I'm going for a run in a few as well, it's 0°C over here, snow on all of the roads and dark as fuck. ABout to put on my thermal, two hoodies, gloves and pants. I hate you for being able to run in shorts and probably daylight. Goddamn I wish spring was here already.

Going for a Run
I can’t wait to get outside and just start running. I’m waiting for Roselyn (my GPS watch for all you new followers out there) to charge up. AND AND AND AND I am able to wear SHORT SHORTS today!! It’s not that cold so I’m taking this chance and…running with it (hehehoho).
If you are reading this and have not run yet, just fricken get out there, even if it’s for...

Crosstraining
Well, I cross-trained with some snow shoveling today, hahaha. Seriously, it’s a workout. My triceps were definitely working out, and I breathed hard for a couple minutes overall. I mean, it’s no substitute for running (of which there are no real substitutes - and no, swimming is not one!), but it’s better than nothing. I will definitely be running tomorrow, perhaps just 30 min or...
Rest Day
Okay, I am taking a rest day on Christmas. Sorry. HOWEVER, tomorrow is when my family is celebrating Christmas (xmax), and I will be running then. Who else is running on christmas??

Awesome run!
I just ran TWICE around the lake (5.2 miles in all)!! And i did it in 38 minutes. That’s an average 7:23 per mile. My knees hurt a bit, but I can tell they are getting a lot better. Once I get over this sinus infection and keep on running I’ll be back to my old self. I was pretty tired through out but just continues to push it. No matter how tired you are, you can always go that little...

Messages??
I am very bored and I would really really really like it if people messages my ask box. Consider it a Christmas/ Chanukah/ holiday present.
