    Shanaber - hope you are okay, I fell in the street over my own 2 feet about 2 months ago. I was just thankful it was dark and people didn't see me LOL I had to laugh though because my first thought was to stop my watch until I got up and took inventory of my body before starting to run again! I knew at that minute I was a runner LOL
    I had to laugh at this!
    Once I got the dog off me (he was very upset and worried) the first thing I did was stop my watch and that was when I saw the blood on my hands! I rinsed off in the drinking fountain and we ran the rest of our run home... yes we are most definitely runners although I sometimes still can't quite believe I really am :D

    You girls are a riot! :smiley: Be careful deciding it's only a little hole. Those little holes have a nasty habit of becoming embarrassingly revealing big holes when you least expect it. We need not discuss how I know this. :blush:

    10/19 - 5.06
    10/20 - 10.61

    Total So Far: 101.1 Miles - Goal Achieved

    Everything from here on out is bonus. I have a goal of 500 miles for the year and at the end of September I realized I had only ran 200 which left me 100 miles per month for the rest of the year. So the more miles I get this month the less I "need" for the next two months.

    10/19 - 16.44 trail
    10/20 - 7.02

    My conversion to miles is more and more inaccurate each time I post. Must be the rounding. I'm also having to make new tickers all the time as the url is not retained if I use different computers. So inconvenient.

    Added 5.31 on Sat and 4.44 today, taking me to 47.65/50. So I need 2.35 miles more, which is only 1 more run. So by Thursday, I will be done. Yay!!!

    Total So Far: 101.1 Miles - Goal Achieved

    Everything from here on out is bonus. I have a goal of 500 miles for the year and at the end of September I realized I had only ran 200 which left me 100 miles per month for the rest of the year. So the more miles I get this month the less I "need" for the next two months.
    Excellent!!! Keep running at this rate & you'll reach 500 by New Year's Eve easily!

    You girls are a riot! :smiley: Be careful deciding it's only a little hole. Those little holes have a nasty habit of becoming embarrassingly revealing big holes when you least expect it. We need not discuss how I know this. :blush:
    Hahahahahahaha! No worries for me unless revealing my knee is an issue :o
