    However, this non running may not be the end of the world. My half on Sunday clashes with my daughter's first triathlon (she's 7)

    Wow! Impressive! I am many times her age and have not done a tri yet!

    I don't have a set distance, but looking to get comfortable (again!) with a 5km a couple of times a week and move up to 10km training by the end of the month!

    Welcome!

    @marisap2010 – Do you think you felt so good after your 20-mile run because you slowed your pace for your friend? Maybe you were just in the zone?

    No, I was feeling really good before she slowed down. It got to a point where she needed to walk some, and I really wanted to keep running.

    @ContraryMaryMary Your 7 year old is going a tri? That is crazy! What are the distances for each section- just curious?

    @shanaber Great race! Hope that wasn't your last :'(
    @autumnblade75 congrats on the car. I know what you mean about "wasn't even on my 'makes and models to consider' list". More than once I have gone into a dealership with one or two models in mind, and drove away with something completely different. I guess I'm a pushover for a good deal. But most of the time it has worked out. Good luck with yours!
    @ContraryMaryMary Super impressed with your 7 year old daughter doing a tri! That takes a lot of guts and determination (more than I will ever have).

    @autumnblade75 Glad you found a car that you like. It looks really nice. Not sure why they would have a backup camera without a screen though. I love my back up camera. I can parallel park now. LOL

    @shanaber Glad your knees are doing better. Hope the fall didn't give you a set-back.

    Some cars use the rearview mirror as a screen for it.

    @Avidkeo maybe the Brooks I wear are wider in that part of the foot. They're definitely more comfortable. Although at one point I had a different model of Asics that also seemed to fit better. They were in a higher price range than the current ones. I was also running downhill when it started, so the pressure had probably also shifted slightly to a different part of my foot.

    @LoveyChar you are right that some of it is probably muscle, because I am almost fine with how I look in the mirror, but generally the weight came on when I cut back on running and started pigging out because "I'm in taper mode" and "I just ran a marathon" mode. I've got a weight range I like to stay in, and am almost back into it.

    brooks are wider. asics are narrow. saucony are wider. altras are inbetween. i haven't found my merrels to be too narrow either.
    i know brooks and saucony are wider because my feet are borderline. and i got fitted for them and was told by the store people they were wider. i can't wear asics because they are too narrow. i was fitted for the altras too.
