What the hell. If I'm going to race in the 10 Mile Trail Run I'm thinking about in February, I need to do 58 miles. Of which I have done none, but plan to change that this evening.0

ooooo!!! this looks like a great idea! i'm currently learning how to run for a half marathon in October 2015. i think i'm going to start small for this month at maybe 30 miles? i think this is just what i need to get me going again.

First run in some new kicks I bought after getting fit last night. Mixed feelings, they felt heavy and it was a sluggish run. I'm hoping it was just a bad run....

Congrats to your Skippy Girl!! I hope you feel better soon! Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation!skippygirlsmom wrote: »Now sure if I'll be running the rest of the week, I hurt something last week at Turkey Trot in my right leg/hip/knee and last night at Galaxy of Lights I was crying by mile 2.5. My whole leg was numb and my hip and knee are really sore so I'm going to rest for now.
Oh and I need to brag on my 14 year old daughter who finished 36 out of 1,000 runners and won her age group with a 23:49 time last night.
So California is finally getting it too! I love running in the rain but my rain jacket is not quite so waterproof any longer. I was wet and chilled when I got home tooRan 4 this morning in the pouring rain! Thank goodness for awesome running friends.
I also figured out that I really need a new rain jacket to run in. I came home drenched and freezing. We haven't had much rain in the last few years however we have gotten some great storms this last month. So I told my husband that I would send him links to a few "ideas" of jackets for Christmas.
Seems like a good 'idea' to plant!!
^^ This! I felt that way too before my 1st half and my 2nd and my 3rd... going on 8 now because as LoneWolf says you end up ready to sign up for the next one before you get to your car! I think you will be surprised at how many are right there with or behind you!LoneWolfRunner wrote: »Running my first half marathon this coming sunday, getting cold feet really don't want to do it now. Rode around the course on my bike today hoping that would get me excited and enthusiastic about Sunday but it didn't work. OMG why did I enter.
It's not unusual to feel this way.... but once you get there and the race starts you will have a great deal of fun. After about three miles you will notice several people running your same pace... I know I will never win a race so I kick back and have fun and find someone to run with and talk to... miles melt away and before you know it, you will have your first HM medal.... and before you get back to your car, you will be looking to sign up for another one.

Oh no!!! Hope it heals quickly. Frequent gentle stretching usually helps me. Rest up and feel better! And congrats to your daughter!0 -

Thanks everyone - I'm resting it, stretching lightly and icing. I'm very grouchy when I can't run.
My daughter said to thank everyone for the congrats. I had to share a picture with her trophy. Each one was handmade at the gardens.
