Warrior dash coming up on the 31st. My goal is sub 30 min. I've been running more and more the past few months and am getting faster but not as fast as I'd like to be. I typically run a 5k in 22-23 min with my best being 21:29 so I assume that I'll get a bit quicker between now and the run and allot 7 minutes for obstacles.
For those that have run warrior dash what were your times?
I think I was around 22 mins. My 5K PR is 19:26.

Wow that's quick. My friend finished 90/3000 with a 27 min pace last year. I don't know that I'm that fast. We'll see.

Another thing to remember is all the courses are different and slightly different distances.
I finished 296/7671 and the winner was 17:39 (I think he cheated)

Nice job man....that's a solid freaking time. What race was it...and how was the course?
Just signed the wife and I up for Rock n Roll San Diego. I'll be pacing her to hopefully a 3:34 to get her into Boston next year. Not our first choice of races, but the only one that would work with our schedule.
It was Modesto, very flat course.
I paced a girl that was trying for boston for miles 14-20, at that point we were running 8:10 pace so she was on pace for it, she dropped back at about 20 though and ended up finishing at 3:47.
The last 2 miles I was running with a guy who started out with the 3:10 pace group for the first 18 miles and then cramped up, crazy shit can happen.

Alright, motivate me guys.
Lately it's been 50 degrees, but rainy and windy every fucking day. I've not ran more than about 8k since in a go in 9 months. But I did manage a 22min 5k in September(pretty good by me). I've been lifting weights and hiking, so I'm far from shit shape, but I'm really struggling to get out and run. I'm almost 4 years off my last 1/2 marathon, 3 since my really training(I ended up not running that one due to a move).
Ugh, I just hate running with the rain and 30-60 mph winds we've been having.
I'm jealous of all the shit you guys are doing, but I can't seem to get back into my running groove...

I despise the wind. IMO nothing more demoralizing. Under your circumstances Id probably just do half my runs outside, and the other half on a treadmill.
oh, and sign up for a race to boost your motivation. Read Born to Run, watch Pre, etc.

So it's been 80+ here the last few days and I haven't run in temps like that since last August or something. Hurting my pace big time (like 30sec/mile on average). Shouldn't be 80s around here until June. WTF?

Have any of you avid runners battled shin splints? What are your remedies? According to the wear on my shoes I have a good foot strike. I'm rolling through the sole and off my toes.
Went for a run today and by the first 1/2 mile my shins were aching something wicked. Slow warm up pace too

My shin splints went away with rest, stretching and more running. Just let it rest 1-2 days, then go running and they should go away after a couple weeks.
I've had them my entire life.

So have I, they didn't t go away until I became a regular runner. If I just ran intermittently, they would always occur.

Thanks man. I'm hoping that my lower legs simply aren't in running shape yet and that's why their aching. I haven't run ~ 8 months due to my ACL surgery and complications. I have a 5k next month and a 10 mile run in September, so I'm hoping to be ready by then.

Ive never been a runner. I went and got some Brooks running shoes this weekend. Today I ran my first mile in 11:38. It wasnt as painful as I thought. Ive been doing the eliptical, for about three weeks and running is a different animal. What is more effective? Running a mile or doing 45 mins of eliptical at a pace of about 150 strides a min?
