Good morning,

I got out for my 5mile run this morning. I struggled a little during my run.
I had wicked heartburn last night and I still felt it this morning while running. Not a good feeling. lol

Have a great run everyone!!

    Good Morning Everyone!

    M - hope you are feeling better today! sorry, that nastiness upset your run! :cry:

    I need to do a little self-praising today *doing the happy dance* - i broke through my plateau FINALLY!

    I have dropped another 1lb after a three week plateau! Thank goodness! All that German beer was good for the diet I guess!! I can only attibute it to the whole zig-zag calorie - shock the body theories!

    Feel great this am after my spinning class last night. Tonight is easy run for 5 miles and then body pump class.

    My special treat to myself for all the hardwork and finally hitting the 10lb mark is a new IPod! My was stolen last year and I have been trying to get by without it but I just cannot do it anymore. I have been faithful to my exercise program since Jan 1 and I think that deserves a treat! :flowerforyou:

    Have a great day everyone!

    I usually run on Thursdays, but we are having 30 mph wind with 50 mph gusts, not the greatest running conditions. I went to spinning instead. Then tonight I'm going to TurboKickboxing, bootcamp and PiYo. Have a great day everyone

    I got my second work out of week 4 (Couch to 5K) in last night. It seemed harder than Monday night, but it may be because it was still 80 degrees at 6:30pm, sunny and sticky. But, I did it. I ran all my minutes and made it through. Hoping to get workout 3 in tomorrow morning, Saturday morning at the latest. I told my husband that I was starting to like running, and those were words I never thought would come out of my mouth. But I feel powerful and good about myself while running. Hmmm, must be those endorphins kicking in.... :laugh:

    I wanted to run this morning but after the alarm went off I made the mistake of laying back down on the bed. :grumble:

    Tomorrow is another day. Great job to everyone who already ran or is planning on running today. This morning was my oppertunity and I missed so I wont be going out at all today. Bummer.

    Good morning!

    Congratulations to everyone who ran, plans to run, or even thought about running today.:laugh:

    I ran the slowest 4 miles this morning. We are in the middle of a heat wave. With the heat index, it was 89 degrees, sunny, and HUMID at 8:30 am. I got a tan through my white t-shirt.(my sports bra is outlined on my skin)

    Instead of doing my 5 mile speed workourt, I decided to be safe and do an easy 4 miles of running with walking all of the hills on my route. I never noticed how many hills there were until today. It took me over 50 minutes to finish!

    Enjoy the day
    -Kechie.

    Just a question for you runners...

    Since I started running (about 6 wks agos) I not only have pain in my knees but also in my elbows and finger joints. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to prevent it other than painkillers?

    I bought really good running shoes and I run on dirt. Every time I run the pain gets worse though. I've been training for a 5k in July and I really don't want to quit!

    I've never heard of that.... I wonder if it's because you're holding your arms at a angle you're not used to?? Is there a running store nearby where you can get some advice?

    Are you clenching your hands when you run? I have never heard of that either. I know when I started running my knees hurt. I bought some osteo bi flex and that worked great. By the second day my knees felt better and haven't hurt too much.

    Ok, so before I decided to admit I was thinking about a halfer, I got to 6.25 (10k). For the record that took me 6 months. Recently though it has been more natural and with that comfort came the idea of, “Wait a minute I could do 12 of these if I wanted!”

    It is suggested you can run 3miles to start training.

    The training is 12 weeks pre marathon. I have attached the link. I am going to start training with this program on the 23rd. If anyone ants to train with me and we can check in I would love it.

    I’m a firm believer in strength in numbers.

    If anyone wants to take a trip to Chicago and run the ½ you could stay with me too!

    I haven't signed up yet, but my plan is to run a 1/2 marathon at the end of July. I know how you feel about being nervous because a few years back my daughter talked me into walking/jogging a marathon with her and I really wasn't sure I could do it. I'd never done anything like that before. The training was a lot harder than the actual marathon. This time I'm not really nervous because I know I can finish it. I figure even if I have to walk part of it I could do it. My goal this time is to jog the whole thing. I've been jogging about 5 times a week and going anywhere from 4 to 10 miles so far. If I could do it, anybody can (truly.) You'll be fine. Just deciding to do it is really the hardest part. Good luck. I'll be cheering for you!:drinker:

    I started training for a 10miler today that is in August. It is one of the hardest courses in the area so I really need to work hard! I love Hal's programs and I am going to us his as well as Galloway's programs to get ready.

    I will definitely be a training buddy!! Let's post our weekly training schedules and keep track of miles during the week!!
