I'm planning on doing the Lemieux 6.6 in October. Treadmill running is great for building up stamina and all but it doesn't use the same muscles as road running. I'm going to start running at North Park once a week to shock those muscles out of slumber.I need to run at some point this week just to mentally remind myself that I can do a 5k before Saturday morning. Blah. 15-20 miles on the bike every day.. no big deal. Running at all though.. mentally I just hate it for some reason.

I will probably do that too. I think i missed the early registration though. Road running is def diff then tread mill running. The Pirates 5k I was much more motivated once I actually got down there and was with everyone else. It made it way less miserable. I signed up for this 5k right after that one when I was like oh I like doing this.. then I realized.. I hate doing this when I got the reminder a few weeks back.I'm planning on doing the Lemieux 6.6 in October.

Didn't you say you were up to close to 300 the other day? That's a damn impressive time over 2 miles at that weight. Hell, a lot of out-of-shape skinny people couldn't run 2 miles in 17 minhttps://connect.garmin.com/modern/activ ... SHyXo.linkI ran 2 miles on the treadmill under my goal time. Woooooaaaaahhhhhh!

My wife has lived here her entire life. When we first started dating - I got the "North Park isn't that big to walk around." So for my birthday we decided to do a quick walk around, around mile 3 is when I started getting annoyed because I was wearing jeans and it was like 90 degrees. Planned to do a quick "walk" before my birthday dinner. Ended up just getting take out and going home."North Park is flat."
A lie my wife told me. Deep in my heart I knew it was a lie, but I wanted to believe.
I don't think the pay version of MFP is worth it, but JMO.Yeah. We basically pulled into that main lot to the left near the football field at the beginning and ran from there. I'm going to go back up and see what might be flatter. On our way out we noticed the road over the bridge (dam?) and figure that's going to be our best bet. My wife runs the 5mi loop with a friend of ours a few times a week but I'm still at 2 miles so I can be more selective for now.
On GMaps the North Park Pool/ball fields looks relatively flat, might have a run up there this weekend and to check it out. Looking at it on GMaps 3D it looks like the run would have flat sections with down/up hill connectors. Like a series of plateus.
I know some of us use myFitnessPal. Does anyone pay for it? I don't, but was wondering if it was worth it. I'm not into tracking the macro-nutrient stuff or anything. One thing I do miss is the ability to save your food by time of day instead of meal, not sure if paying unlocks that.
I do need to find something to replace the Livestrong Loops that actually worked very well. It allowed you to map your run on a GMaps API so you could know the distance, elevation change, etc. I might try MapMyFitness from MFP, but I'm not certain it's what I'm looking for.
I'm "dodint" on MFP if anyone wants to add me, I've been enjoying skullman's updates on there.
