@7lenny7 - That is so awesome about that you can run with your daughter! I have a Catie as well and she has signed up to run the SF Half Marathon with me. We don't get to run or train together as she is in school in Seattle and because of that school she doesn't have time to run much. I had planned to race this one but I am going to just enjoy the experience of running and finishing the half with her!
Excellent! That will be a fantastic experience, and much better than racing it. My Katie has agreed to run a 5K with me before she goes back to college in August. I just need to find one that fits our schedule. Her sorority has a 5K in April and I told her I'd run that one with her too, if it works out with my schedule. She seems intent on continuing to run in college so in a couple of weeks I'm taking her to the running store to get her a proper pair of shoes and some socks.

so about a month ago i posted here when i was really struggleing and at the time i hated running. I was in month 5 of marathon training. a few people gave me some postive advice the rest kinda jumped all over me (what happened to runners be a awesome community?) Training for a marathon, working a full time job, raising my kids 3 out 4 weeks alone while husband works in another state and an injury just came crashing down at once. I think people forget just how challenging marathon training can be, mind and body.
well I still wouldnt say I love running but to the poeple that were kind and offered advice, i followed it. and am happy to say on Saturday i ran 26.2 miles injury free and with a smile on my face the whole way. It was a amazing expierence and I will never forget any moment. I even loved the hard moments.

Today was a speed work day fail. Couple of buddies from my running group were going to meet at the HS track to do some tempo repeats but my glutes were too sore, so I ended up doing 10K worth of fartleks around the track instead. Followed up by a couple of easy cool down laps around the HS itself. I have to do more yoga.

@7lenny7 - my daughter was here last weekend and we went to the running store and got her new running shoes too
@Stoshew71 - I can empathize with those sore, tired glutes! You have been really putting them to work so maybe some foam rolling and focused stretching will help too, along with the yoga.
@RuNaRoUnDaFiEld - Great job getting that run in and done!
@ddmom0811 - Congratulations on your long run!! You are doing a fantastic job getting your mileage up!
@Pandora_and_her_box - Great effort overcoming the excuses to get that treadmill run in!
@skippygirlsmom - Love the picture! It is exactly how Hobbes felt after our run yesterday!
Rest day for me - too many meetings to get out for a run today :ohwell: but it was my planned rest day and was only going to switch it if I could make it fit.0 -

I ran my daughter to summer camp today with a friend and her kids (we ran, the kids biked). It was so much fun! I left my car by the park last night in order to be able to drive back home and get to work. I think we will do it again on Friday and I will just run back. My daughter is 5 and struggles a bit on the hills. By the end of the summer she should be pro though!0 -

Well then, maybe you do love running... just not necessarily a progressively more difficult & regimented training plan that goes along with marathons. Good luck with your subsequent adventures in exercise.0 -
@dawnna76 - Congrats on the finish, you have joined an elite crowd and should be proud!
I'm in my own 1st marathon training and the difference is substantial. For me it is not about dreading the runs or hating them (I actually look forward to the longer runs, even while running them). It's just the amount of time. A lot of people say it is like a part time job, and it really is. I have some upcoming weeks where I figure I will spend 12 hours running...and even more time will probably be required not too long after that! Just this morning I was thinking how nice it might be to focus on half marathons or less all next year because I could knock those out and easily spend more than enough time to do train while also not having to work so hard to fit in runs on both weekdays and weekends.
If next year is like this year though, that is unlikely. I'm addicted at the moment to longer distances.
The food can be a bit ridiculous too. I'm eating everything that can't run faster than me.
@RunTimer - I had to chuckle about your shoes swan song run as my original Brooks Glycerines went on their last long run today (300 miles). They still feel good so I will keep using them on short runs until they feel uncomfortable. Funny how much I love these shoes.0
