Streaking Check-In 12/1

[IndiaInk]

Hope no one minds if I start the check-in today. I didn't see another post and I have to catch a flight soon.

How far did you run (or walk if you're on the walk streak) today?

What is one of the strangest things you've ever seen while running?

I ran 3 miles today at sunrise along Waikiki Beach. It was already over 70 degrees and the scenery was absolutely magical.

One of the strangest things I've ever seen is a horse that appeared out of the mist and falling snow walking down the railroad tracks all by itself. I was at mile 10 of a half marathon and thought I was hallucinating. It was so bizarre.

ETA: pics from this morning's run

I did 3 miles at lunch. I work in a business park that requires running on the road with 18 wheelers at different points. As I told MH, running towards an 18 wheeler driving down the street can really put a pep in your step! It is beautiful out and never in a million years did I think I would be running in a tank top and capris on December 1st.

I'm glad you did!

I've walked about 2 miles at SeaWorld today and will do another 2 before the day is over.

I haven't seen anything notable while running.

1.6ish miles mainly in the form of suicides during class today. 

Does catching sight of myself in windows as I run by count as strange? I hate watching myself run.

You're not alone. No one likes that moment.

1 mile treadmill interval workout.

6 treadmill miles today.

This summer I ran by a guy walking down the bike path with his 6ft pet snake around his neck. I still wish I'd taken a picture. lol

A walk/run with the toddler today. I'm also leading the Boy Scout meeting tonight on Fitness. Of course I have some running games planned.

Weirdest thing seen running are Civil War reenactors. They get pretty into it.

A quick-ish 1.2 mi for me this morning.  It was almost 50 this morning and I really wanted a longer run, but I had to take my son to his specialist over an hour away today, so no time for more.

I don't see a lot of strange things on my runs, but one morning I did happen upon this:

I slept through my alarm and lost my morning window, forgot my clothes and had to settle for a 1.2 mile walk at lunch.

I'm working until 1030 pm tonight--maybe I'll feel like a run when I get home? (Lol. Nope)

3.1 tonight after little man was asleep. Windy, but no cars so I essentially had the whole neighborhood to myslef. It was nice! I also manages some decent negative splits by about a minute each time - yay!

And can't think of anything really weird/odd I've seen while running. Boo.

Happy December everyone!

How far did you run (or walk if you're on the walk streak) today? Speed workout: 1.5 miles x 4 times with 800m rest in between.

What is one of the strangest things you've ever seen while running? The cutest and strangest thing I think I've seen is a guy that used to run in my old neighborhood with a great dane and a chihuahua. They both kept up with him but it was too cute to see the tiny little dog with the big ol' dog.

Got in 1 mile tonight while dinner cooked, obvs just for the streak.

Hmm, not really strange, but I've seen lots of cool wildlife, like a coyote, and the spawning salmon this weekend.

2 miles on the treadmill this morning.

I don't usually see much on my rural roads, sometimes not even many cars. I do keep scaring pheasants up lately, and their flutter and squack terrifies me for a second until I realize it's just a bird!

May I join in?

I did 1 mile intervals yesterday.

I did it on my treadmill but did watch Christmas movies while doing it.

[sassystace]

I did a mile on the treadmill about 9pm.

Strangest thing I've seen running...there are lots of strange people out there but no one particularly comes to mind right now!

For the streak, I ran 2 miles on the treadmill at 6.5 mph pace (which is my sweet spot - I can carry on a conversation and generally feel really good running at that pace).

About 2 years ago I was running on our back country roads and swore I saw a fox.  Then I thought I was probably hallucinating and was going crazy.     Then about a week later I was having breakfast on our back deck and saw the fox again!  Apparently there was an influx of them in our area at the time.  Kinda cool!
