i went for a long run today. it was only supposed to be 7 but i did 10 and felt awesome! i could have kept going, so maybe all i needed was a break. i feel more confident that i can do 13.1 now that i have broken the 9-mile-mental-barrier. my arch is still bothering me, but not too much.

great job on last month! second place is awesome!

gboh = 10

loveme445

Dawn~Im so happy to hear that you overcame that mental barrier. CONGRATS on the 10miles! :drinker:

Britta & Zaida~Hope you ladies are feeling better :flowerforyou:

thanks for the well-wished. my first running attempt at a half-marathon is complete. i am looking forward to never doing another one. it went well, and i think the difference was in the numerous aid stations. i need to fuel better if i am going to run longer distances. i was slower than i was hoping for (my time was 2:26), but i'll take it.

gboh = 28

i am fine with it being just the 3 of us this month as darth heals.

bstamps12

Did TONS of walking this weekend but no running :frown: Looking like I won't get to run today either because my family is hiking a nearby mountain. Still lots of miles but I can't wait to run on Tuesday!

3 miles to get back in the swing of things. legs felt very heavy, but it was a nice short run. i don't have a race lined up for november yet and i am feeling kind of adrift. i'm not sure how much i want to push myself, but not having a goal in mind is weird.

gboh = 31

You guys are doing great, can't believe October is halfway over already! Keep up the awesome work!
