That is incredible!!! So awesome, I can hardly stand it!!!! You really rock! And did I read correctly?!?? You had a Capri Sun tucked in your bra?!?!?!!!! You know you are a runner when... And Varda does this too? Doesn]t that chafe? LOL!0

Woohoo!! congratulations on not only finishing it but doing it within the time goal you'd set yourself. That's an amazing fight back, not sure I'd have the determination but I'll try and remember your run if I feel like packing it in half way anytime

Thanks, it did chafe a bit, I have lovely red vertical stripes, they match the horizontal ones from the other day when I hadn't adjusted my running bra properly, lol! If I did it again I would definitely double bra. Body temperature Capri Sun had never tasted so good!
Thank you Yamsteroo, I did feel like packing it in at halfway but I was so far from my car it would have taken ages to walk back, lol. I just kept pushing on and finally got my second wind, the final km was actually the easiest, I ran it in 6:31, my slowest was running up the hill on the way back and it was 9:29.0 -
All those obstacles and you still came in 3 seconds under goal. That's fantastic! Never thought of tucking a beverage into my bra but really that's kind of brilliant.0

Rock on Romy. You're awesome!0

Yes! I will be remembering it when I feel like packing it in too! Thanks, Romy! But I think I will look into fuel belts for refreshment, LOL!0 -
Congratulations on the run, romy! I got tired just reading about it!0

I put them in upside down. You are a tiger, Romy!0

Almost had a great training run today. Would have been perfect if my running app hadn't crashed just after 4km leaving me to run on past 5km and running myself almost to a standstill up a steep hill. I eventually checked my app as I was sure I had run farther than I should. It crashed again just after 7km so my splits were all wrong but my overall time was correct at 72 minutes so I was really pleased with that. Don't usually have problems with my app, but there was a lot of tree cover and humidity was 98% so I don't know if that was a factor.0

7K in 72 minutes - that's amazing. Great run!!!0 -
I think it's more that satans minions design running apps.0

Way to beat that goal, Romy!!
And it's funny about your red stripes - my friend just did his triathlon today. He had been telling me aobut chafing that guys can get when they run, and he found a guy at the end with some serious red stripes. The race directors gave him a tube of chafing cream as a consolation prize, and my friend took his picture with it and sent it to me just for fun. So I was thinking of that picture when you mentioned the Capri Sun...and then you say that you, in fact, did also have those red strips.0 -
I had some serious chafing after my run yesterday, I don't know what's up with that! Not usually bothered by chafing. Couldn't wear a bra at all yesterday (which isn't a good look if you are 43 and breastfed 3 kids!) And I have a sore butt as well! I have a newer bra which doesn't chafe but it was in the wash basket ( note to self: keep on top of the laundry) I think the problem might be that my old bra and capri's are getting a bit loose (I'm always having to pull my capri's up at the start of a run, once I start to sweat they stick to me, lol) I think I need to go capri shopping.0

Love it!0 -
Well, it does sound like some new running clothes are in order! LOL! I was laughing so much at this! I too breastfeed 3 kids! LOL! So the picture is pretty clear to me! :-)0

Sorry about the chaffing. Your runs sound challenging to me even without dealing with clothing issues. Sounds like you have a good excuse to get new running clothes!
I just got new ones, black capris (sized a little tight on me now -- to lose into), a skirt with capris, a long sleeve shirt (again a bit tight), and a short sleeve shirt with a back pouch. Have tried out the short sleeve shirt as it's been too warm for the others yet. Love the back pouch for my phone!0 -
I've just been ordering new capris as well, ordering them a bit tight too! I haven't seen shirts with pockets in them but I always make sure my capri's have a pocket. I had to wear my long sleeved shirt today, the temperature wasn't that low but there was a cold wind.0

I've been buying my t-shirts too snug. However, I'm cutting again and already two pounds down. I hope it's not all water weight and that it doesn't affect my performance.0
