I haven't done in a too long time.
i used to ... now i just kneel down with my hands on the back of my head !!!:dropjaw:
no really i dont think i could run 100 yards before i feel over ... i could walk for miles though without blinking an eye !! cross country type running always interested me , i just never did it
A 38 min 10k dang!!!!!!!!!! My fastest is 55min. I was going to run a full this spring but it didnt work out so it got differed(?) to next year. I would love to run Boston or NY someday but it seems really hard to get into those. Maybe someday
pretty good times for your runs there guys, my last marathon time was about 5 hours and my last half was 2 hours. Ill be sure to beat your times next time lol
I love to run, I have completed one Marathon (London 2007), I won't embarrass myself by telling everyone the time, suffice it to say that the guy in the Rhino suit beat me.
I only run 10K at the moment, I find that distance just about right.
The problem with Doha, is that there's only around 4 or 5 months of the year that are cool enough (for me under 30 C) to run outside and only really a couple of places you can run.
When I travel to London, I stay with my ex partner who lives close to Epping Forest and it is a real joy to run surrounded by trees (and anything green really). A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to have snow, I ran for 4 hours that day.
easyace, i know how you feel, the worst runs i have ever had were summer time in Iraq (not sure if its hotter in Qatar). and the worst part was i couldnt even take a cold shower afterward to cool down ALL the water was hot.
I love running, I did triathlons some years ago, and now I run a few times a week to keep in shape. I run ina small forest preserve about a10 minute run from my house. Very relaxing.
I imagine the temperatures are fairly similar, I salute you for your service and for running in the summer.Quote:

I did complete the race which I would have done even if I would've had to crawl across the finish line, but it really was something to go from a 5 day a week runner to literally zero that fast; it was harsh. It turned my world upside down. I have not run since. I'm getting into resistance training now which I can do from home and also vigorous outdoor work for extended periods around my homestead that more than kicks in endorphins. Relying completely on one form (running) for exercise, stress relief a sense of well being, etc was my downfall at the time. With running I was "all in" and I should have varied things more than I did.
It was great while I was doing it and I was in the best shape of my life then.

I added biking to my routine, even with a stress fracture (from my last half marathon) i was still able to ride my bike. it is great when unable to run for any reasonQuote:
