Just finished 9.5 miles. I thought it was longer (sure felt like it :grumble: ) but not according to 'mapmyrun'.

Now, must....go....eat.....:sick:

Yay! Excellent Shannon!:drinker:

I need to go above 8 miles on my long run tomorrow. I don't know if I have the courage yet. Forget courage. I don't know if I have the strength.:laugh:

Congratulations

Way to go Shannon and Ali!! Good luck to Kechie and Mireille for tomorrow.

No run for me today. I did my P90X shoulders and arms workout this morning and then did several fitness evaluations after. I do not know what I was thinking when I worked out before the evaluations. I still did well. I scored above the 90th percentile for my age group on several evaluations.. The lowest I scored was 77th percentile on one test.

I am going long tomorrow. Keep up the great efforts!!

Mentioned on another forum re: my run this morning & someone replied, "are you out of your f'ing mind? That's stupid."

I'm not happy!!

Thanks for your support, ya'll. It means a lot! :smooched:

You're welcome Shannon! I am amazed by the number of people willing to criticize us for running. I would never criticize someone who does not run for not running. Maybe I should start.:devil:

Sample conversation:
"Today I ran 10 miles!"
"Are you out of your f'ing mind? That's stupid."
"I would not expect a fat person to understand"

lmbo!!! Thanks Kechie! I needed that!! :laugh:

Hi everybody,
Sorry that I'm checking in so late! I can't believe someone would dis you for running! Sheer jealousy I say :laugh: Our air quality is sooo bad and the temps are 107 so our running club was canceled tonight! I went to the gym though and run on the treadmill. Walked 5 minutes, ran 20, walked 10. It was lonely but at least I got my run in. Saturday is our long run and I hope the smoke has cleared by then!
See you all tomorrow!

ummm, hello you runners. I want to do the same but I'm a newbie runner and need lots of support. I am just getting started and running 5 minutes is huge for me. Love to walk though :blushing: However, used to run when I was younger and in shape. Loved running back then and really really want to get back into it. Any tips for a wanna be like you?:flowerforyou:

Use your favorite search engine to search on "Couch to 5K". This is a great training program for new runners. I started running last year. I could not run for more than 2 minutes without needing a break. Two weeks ago I ran 9 miles without stopping. You can do it. Hang in there and join the MFP Runner's Club for support.
