Attention all Shuffle runners!!! It is imperative that you get this run in either with us or on your own. These numbers will be plugged in the following http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm to calculate future run times. Email me with questions.

Sarah B.

21:05. Did the 4 laps instead of the street course.

A. Craven

19:50 - felt good; probably should've been a little bit faster given only 2 miles.

The Dragon

This may hurt but I think I'm going to follow the main site wod for today and make up the Deadlift 7x1 wod I missed last week and then run if it's not too slick out. May be forced into an active rest day tomorrow after that couplet but we'll see how it goes

Jean

6:46 (I think). 5 rounds of push jerks at 50#; pull-ups with blue band. Need work on pull-up technique. Still assisting with free leg.

Alison

15:35

Run felt good; however, shin splints did not. Anyone know how to prevent shin splints?

Tim R.

Alison, I thought I was the only one to get those. I used to ice both my shins after running WODS for hours. I still get them to a much much lesser degree since I have switched to the pose (or some modified form thereof--it is a work in progress). My shin splints have since improved about 85%. I have to constantly remind myself when running to stay on the balls of my feet.

Princess

Shin splints SUCK. I'll remember to try and pose as much as I can.

jmg

Shin splints are the result of over striding while you run and therefore must be fixed with a form adjustment.

I don't know the details about Pose method but the two main checks that I do when I am running is that my hips are forward and that my feet are striking the ground right underneath my body. That seems to have alleviated most of the running problems that I have had.

Alison

Thanks for the tips guys! I iced my legs this morning which helped. I guess I need to pay more attention to my form. I need to ask one of you Pose runners about the Pose method one of these days.

Hope everybody gets to enjoy the weather today!

Emily

16:00
I want to shave some more time off of this, but I wasted a lot of energy (and probably precious seconds, too) constantly re-adjusting my ear buds for the iPod since they fell out and/or got loose so much. I need headphones that aren't bulky but STAY PUT.

Lifetime

Emily - I used to have the same problem with every set of headphones I tried. Give these a try:

I've never had a problem with these. They stay in my ear perfectly and are very comfortable.

Eileen C. R.

Someone promise me that by 7:00 p.m. it will still be nice outside?!!!

Princess

I promise.

Emily

Joey, thanks for the suggestion! I have to check out headphone options like those. I do have a weird limitation, though: I have a severe nickel allergy and if the metal is too exposed/not surgical grade steel, I get a lovely red ear rash. On the plus side, it means I have an excuse for having expensive tastes in jewelry.

Eileen C. R.

Hey Emily,
I have the same allergy . . . although mine flares up with surgical steel also - must have gold or sterling . . . poor Tim, literally!!

alex

Deadlift
1-1-1-1-1-1-1

365#-395#-425#-455#-485#f-435#

Only 6 reps as my back started rounding badly at 455# so I played it cool as opposed to injuring myself and went back down. Just wasn't a pr day and I can live with that

zack

15:11 My wife did this one with me this evening. Found a route using mapmyrun.com. Only hit one stop light, so pretty much no delays.

DaveR

18:24 perfect day for a lakefront run!

Gaugs

14:10

jmg

MikeT
