    Good morning:flowerforyou:

    It is great to see you all here! Great job everyone!

    Today is a rest day for me. I am still removing wallpaper.<sigh>

    To anyone thinking about getting a Garmin (running gps), I got a brand new one on Amazon.com for $129. I used it Sunday for my 10 miler. I LOVE it!

    Make it a great day
    -Kechie.

    Which Garmin did you get -- I am thinking about getting one myself.

    Today was a rest day -- thought I was going to bike but my body was off today so I decided to take a nap and relax. Back in the gym tomorrow. Feeling a little rested.

    Sounds like hip failures for a couple people Carvan - hope it starts to mend!! Strawberry -- how is your hip doing??
    Happy trails folks!

    I got the Forerunner 205. It is great for pacing and timing my training runs.

    Wow, what an active day today!! Glad to see everyone (you especially Mir!) up and at it on a Monday morning.

    I am off to the gym now for my workout - going to run at least 4 depending on how much energy I have. I didn't eat well or drink any water today. :grumble:

    Keep up the great work everyone!!

    LOL, no actually my crocs. Danced in 6" inch heels, 2 days previous. Good news is it is pelvic in nature. Have some exercises to do at home. After 1 hour with him (and let me tell you, painful, but he is gorgeous:love: , made it easier), movement was much improved. Good news is I can run in 4 days, an short easy run. YAY me!!

    Hello all!

    I had no internet this weekend so I could not check in after my 1/2 marathon yesterday.

    I finished in 1 hour and 52 minutes. Placed 329th out of 970 runners. I was very happy I did it, but I have to admit I was a tad disappointed in myself. My runner partner and I said we were finishing together..hell or high water! I get a side cramp at 10 miles in that I could not shake. At about 11 I had to start walking to stretch it out..I told her to keep going and I would catch back up. Big mistake! I ended up doing the run/walk/run crap for a mile. I finished a minute behind her. Not bad, but I was not happy I didnt run the whole thing and I didnt finish with her...I feel like I let her down. :grumble: :grumble:

    Oh well....there is always next year! And big picture here people....I FINISHED!!! Oh and I was mad coming into the final stretch and everyone was cheering for a gal about 10 feet in front of me. Is it wrong that I thought to mysef that she must go down? Cause I kicked into gear and passed her! :laugh: :laugh:

    Happy running!

    wow, a lot of posting today and I almost missed it. Alot of early risers also.
    I didn't run to give my hip a day of rest. I am hope I am not getting too old already, gosh I am only 40 and having my hip play games....mmm

    Anyway, looking forward to a good run in morning. But then I am off to Vegas to spend time with mom. She is finally getting stints put in her heart and want to go be there. But if all goes well I will be checking back in Thursday. So tomorrow morning and then Thursday.

    see ya

    I went to the gym late last night, 6 miles of intervals. I am excited I get to do an easy run today!
