I’m in too—feeling needed focus and motivation just reading this as I lace up for my run today! Is there some we can note ourselves as part of your team when we register for the virtual Monterey Bay Half?
Thanks for posting our 20 week training plan and starting us off today! I ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill at 3% grade. Just getting back into running after the disappointment of seeing all the races I planned to run get canceled (including Hood to Coast) this summer. I needed a shot of honesty to break my running funk
I did 5.02 miles this morning with a sporadic light rain and winds of 15-20 mph. The weather was unsettled and I love it that way. I did some intervals and felt pretty good about it but didn't push myself. This is Day 75 of a streak that I'm doing. At least 1 mile is required to keep up the streak but I average 3-5 miles per day. My last half marathon was on 3/7 in Creve Coeur, MO, and I've attempted to keep some level of fitness during the shutdown. We have an in person 5K on July 4th with a limit of 250 participants and staggered starts that I'm thinking about doing. There was an in person 5K on Memorial Day too, but I didn't do it.
Thank you for this! I have not kept up lately with your writings, but wanted to do this very much. I recently created my own 20 week plan without knowing you were. I guess great minds...! I ran my 3 this morning. Have a great and blessed day!
Thanks so much for putting this together, Terrell! I'm registered for the Richmond Half in November and, although I'm skeptical it will actually be held in person, I'm still using it as a training goal. It so happened that I had a 3D gait analysis done today, which was very cool. After I got back from that, I ran a very easy 3 miles, no watch or earbuds, so I could focus on what the PT showed me.
Ran 4 easy miles this morning before checking my email. Felt fine before, during and after, including cool down and stretching, but after driving home my left knee had some pain. Nothing happened on the run so I am surprised. I am icing and resting it today, and it feels somewhat better. What a way to start with you guys!
I’m in too! I just finished (barely) a marathon last Sunday, “50 States of Z”, so my brother-n-law could complete his 50th state marathon before his 50th birthday (June15th - so excited for him!!) Anyhow this gives me something to keep me motivated!! Thanks 😊
This is an amazing idea! I love it! The Monterey Bay Half is one of the races I've always wanted to run, and I like the idea of doing a virtual running group! I'd also love to support any other smaller races as we train for the "big day" together, as well. Does my 3-mile run last night count for today? ;) I'm starting to get used to running in the heat and humidity of North Carolina. Very different than running on the West Coast.
I’m in for the Monterey Bay Half! This morning it’s cold and raining in Lakewood, Colorado and snowing in some parts of the state. Looking forward to training with all of you!

This is awesome!! Luckily I ran this morning. Didn’t feel like it but pushed myself to 6. Good heavens it’s humid! I think I sweat off 10 pounds lol!
Thank you again!!
I ran my 3. Thank you for the nudge!

I ran 2.5 before I checked my email, but I think that will still work for today! 😉

Sounds like a fun event! It's getting hot and humid in Texas, and the training should be a fun challenge. I'm in!
