In article <michelle-01C9C1...@news.eternal-september.org>,
a week for the rest of the month, and then start running in June. (I'll
definitely be taking off on May 11 and 12 because I'll be driving six hours
each of those days.)
I'm trying to decide whether to start with the Couch to 5K program in June,
or to stay at 5K, gallowalking it, gradually increasing the running
intervals and decreasing the walking intervals.
Long range plans are to participate in the Iron Girl 5K on December 16.

wonder if I'll ever have anything to report again.
Over three weeks ago, I started "running" (don't I wish!) extra short
jogs, with lots of little walk breaks, because after about three blocks
of running, my back would start complaining, even during my walk breaks,
and even walking around the apartment it is often uncomfortable. Oddly,
it didn't bother me at all on hikes, until a week ago Wednesday when it
became quite severe on the return part of seven-miler. I expected problems
this last Wednesday (six miles), but no sign of pain or discomfort, at
least as long as I was hiking.
Almost two weeks ago I gave up trying to jog (or walk) for a while, but
went to bed last night planning at least a long Sunday morning walk. I
early this morning with a knee ache, and have been limping around the
apartment much of the day! Hardly notice my back, but what next?

Heehee! Are you doing any cross-training at all, or rolling out the

down the laluz trail, and today about 12 in foothills.

# Has John left the group?
... Just crazy busy ... track and field season for my high school
junior plus work / conference we are organizing ( my oracle user
group ) at CSU in May.
Last week I finished 13 days in a row running ... longest I have gone
in a while. So last week 7 days in probably 52/54 miles in total?
Temps bouncing around in Ohio ... some days I feel relatively good /
some days pretty sluggish / but mostly probably due to sleep or lack
thereof than anything else.
I did sign up for 1st 5k Memorial Day at our high school. Not
expecting much ... may not be able to go under 22 ... time will tell.
Good luck all!

Thanks for picking it up Michelle. I'm late this week.
Got out more days (5/7) though due to time constraints (and sometimes my own laziness), the runs tended to be short.
9miles total with the longest a 5K.
According to the park dept. the loop in Liberty park is 1K. my phone's GPS agrees. Saturday morning, while the young ones played tee ball, I looped around 4 times. I took 1K on a grass trail (0.5k out and back).
Still finding that it is muscle tightness from sitting all day at work that is one main factor in my slowness. Age and excess weight are the other two. Looking to fix all in time.
That's it from T'burg.
Enjoy the run.

4 runs this week - total of 40k.
Cut back on the runs ahead of a 10k trail race
on Friday May 3rd.
I know the course well - as it's close to where
I live, and a group of us run these trails on
our weekly long runs.
Mostly good footing with a few rocks.
Some nice hills. The race had a full kilometer
climb at the 6k point, the first 250 meters of
which was extra steep. On our training runs I
impressed upon the other runners not to push
too hard on this steep section.
Quite warm at the start - but lots of water
stations on the course. 3 of us 50+ runners started
together - and 2 of us ran neck and neck untuil past
the 8km point - where he told me that he was not
going to be able to keep up. Managed 42:55
which was good for 1st in the 50+ and 8/300
overall.
One of our neighbours, Max, heard that I had won my category.
He approached me and said that his late mother had returned
to her cousin's house at the end of the Second World War.
The cousin had been a competitive athlete in his youth and
had won several medals.
The cousin, Mauritz Ut from The Hague, perished in the Holocaust
with all his immediate family, probably at the Sobibor death camp.
Max's mother had found the medals and they were now in Max's possession.
I asked Max if I could look at the medals - he promised me that he
would look for them.
Last night he called me over to show them to me. There were 7 medals
from various competitions, all dated from 1919-1921, in 100 meters,
javelin, shot-put and 4x100m relay. Touching the medals was a
nerve tingling experience.
These medals maybe all that remains of the too short life of Mauritz Ut.
