    @katharmonic - Yeah, that sounds about like my experiences with the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge in Rochester, which is one of the smaller locations where it's run. About 10 thousand runners, 3 waves, crowded, and you get fooled into running faster than you thought because passing people who aren't running seriously turns into competing with runners comparable to you.

    I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the Corporate Challenge is more of an event than a race, because more than half the participants aren't really there to run. The point is the socializing and the food. The last couple of years I volunteered instead of running, due to personal circumstances. That was fun, too.

    @greenolivetree. I always read it in reverse, like you, until I find something familiar or my past post. I've learned to go back a bit past that because I miss posts, or its not updated last I looked.

    I should run today. Feeling a bit rebellious to have to do anything. Even if it's running. I need to swap vehicles with DH and pick up some trees, bushes, and flowers (freebies because he's American Indian descent) . I'm seriously resistant and I'm not sure why. Maybe a few cups of Joe will set me right.

    I will run. I can do this... and I will love it.

    Maybe I'll get the landscape package tomorrow... before the appraiser shows up.

    01/06 4 miles
    07/06 4 miles
    08/06 4 miles

    On the partner support, my husband is supportive of me running as he knows how much better I feel when I run regular. If I'm feeling down and lazy he'll tell me to pull on my runners and go. On the other hand 2 years ago my father made me feel really foolish and embarrassed in front of some people saying I was making a show of myself. It really knock me, I started to doubt myself even though I tried not to let it. I stopped for about 4 months and gained 1.5 stone. I gradually got past it though with encouragement from others.

    Hot weather here isn't letting up, every run seems to be in the 21C+ range. Probably shouldn't complain as we only get a week or two of decent weather here in the UK per year :D

    3/6: 3.4 Miles
    5/6: 3.7 Miles
    6/6: 3.4 Miles

    6/1 - 5.11 miles on National / Global Running Day! Woot!
    6/2 - 4.55 miles. Gorgeous morning!
    6/3 - Pre-HM rest day. Too bad, it is a beautiful morning! So, I am drinking extra water and I ate donuts!
    6/4 - 13.3 miles at Dam to Dam Half. It was sunny and hot. Sun was brutal. Running was pretty good, but my splits went up gradually over the final 4 miles. Atmosphere was good pre and post-race. Had fun!
    6/5 - Rest day + lots of kids' sports.
    6/6 - 4.01 mile "recovery" run. I am not good at intentionally keeping my pace slow. I intended 9-9.5 minute miles.
    6/7 - 5.35 miles. Longer than intended, because I didn't plan my route and had to get back home. Oh well, bonus 0.85 mile.
    6/8 - 3.3 miles on treadmill, then upper body weights and abs.

    Welcome @nicolesface @CHRISTINAGILETTE @beccalee26 @Anuta78 :)
    @DrewMarcy13 Nice job!
    @lporter229 That was hilarious about all the stuff minus the one item.....

    It's been decided that I'm trail running Saturday morning and my husband is golfing all afternoon. So yeah, we will both pursue our separate hobbies at different times and barely see each other all day :* It works for us. We'll be together all day Sunday. Except when I'm out running again.

    RE: Road ID: I used to carry my ID with me everywhere I went. I have a serious paranoia of something happening to me somewhere and no one being able to identify me. I witnessed a tragic event involving a friend when I was living in Australia in 2004, and if it wasn't for me and a few friends who were with her, no one would have known who she was or where she belonged. Needless to say, my boyfriend thinks my obsession with being identified is a little over the top, but he got me a Road ID for Christmas a few years ago. I wear it pretty much everywhere (and still often carry my ID, too), but I like how the Road ID has that I am allergic to sulfa, which is, clearly, not something listed on my driver's license.

    @katharmonic: Congrats on such a great race!
