@cpanus - rest assured whenever Dave or I go in to update, the tickers have always caught up. I don't know why it often doesn't look that way but every time someone has posted a message that the ticker was wrong it was correct when I logged in. Someone who knows more about computers than I do will have to explain it. Or we can just chalk it up to pixie dust.
Stay warm out there, people. @vhuber - that is brutal. Be safe.
@clepant - glad to hear you're ready to run again. Sounds like a good race.
As for me, I'm happy to be in the only warm spot in the US. I went for a beautiful 2 mile beach walk. I meant to walk more but I kept stopping and chatting, lol. I'm ending the month with 64/50. According to Garmin I moved 1,028 miles this year. I've moved 7,241 miles since I joined this group 6 years ago. If I keep this up it'll become a habit soon.
Happy new year to all! It's been my pleasure to help keep this wonderful challenge going.0 -
@Dean: You said it very well. Everyone helps us keep motivated. That is what I love about fitness. It is not a competition, it is ones personal way of taking care of oneself. I think it is another reason by I like my running club. They are so much faster than me but they are so encouraging. I don’t compete against anyone but myself.
Well it’s back to training mode again. My heel feels better at last. I have been drinking lots of cherry concentrate and my knees are feeling better so I am going for my half marathon for May. It is our city,’s 10th annual event and it will be my last Kids Marathon with my students. So now that I have recovered from my food coma, I am back in the gym building muscle strength while going through this artic blast.
@clepant, how do you get in the mindset of not competing with anyone but yourself in your club? I did sign up for the 4 mile race in April I mentioned in a previous post. My trainer just did two and is getting a friend and another client of hers to do so. I've run with her and the other client and they're both faster than me. I did the race on my own two years ago, ran the whole thing with a good time. Last year with them, we started out together, then I attempted to go too fast to keep up and ended up walking a bit, which is the last thing I want to do in a race. Same thing happened again the next month in a different race. I know part of it is jealousy that this other client is tall, thin and doesn't have to put much effort into it (as well as other petty things). I've also run with them where I didn't start side by side, but once I see them pass me, I lose focus. Words of wisdom? Or just tell me to grow up and run. Anyone else can chime in as well.
Ran around all day but no miles to report. Trying to get chores/errands done because I only plan to maybe take a short walk outside tomorrow, then get a numb butt from being on the couch with a book and the tv all day.
Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year to my *kitten* Movin’ Friends!
@Kar: Last year during a 10 mile race I was put in the last corral and wanted to run with the 11 minute pacers from my club. So I busted butt and ran faster to catch up with them. At times I I was ahead of them but could not figure out my splits. They were much faster than 11 minutes. At mile 9 I started to derail. When I hit the finish line, I discovered I had been running 10 min. miles all because I pulled up to run with the pacers. From that point on, I just focused on my pace from where ever I was placed. I also find that I don’t do well training with other runners because if I need to walk for a minute here and there, I just do it. Galloway running has saved my knees many a run and race although I am not a true Galloway runner. So for me, I have learned to go out slow and build as I go. And always make sure that there is still gas in the tank for the finish.
Dec. 31: Adding 7.5 miles of x bike miles
TTD: 336.05 miles
