      You're running another race this weekend? Go Shanaber! 5K, 10K, HM, or Marathon? & is this your 2nd or 3rd in October?
      Another half this Sunday - my 2nd this month... only because I promised my nephew to run a race with him and he picked it :smiley: It is through wine country so it should be beautiful and pretty hilly but there will be wine at the end!!

      Sounds awesome!!!

      I have my second 5K on Sunday. Hoping to beat my PB of 30:10. This morning I beat it I think because it was SO nice out! I run at 4:30am due to the heat and my busy schedule. And today it was around 60 out, no humidity! Hope it's like that on Sunday.

      [

      Good luck!

      OK... just hit the halfway mark with a week to go so I really do admit defeat. Even so, I'm still going and, well, I've just committed to this running malarkey and signed up to a 10K next June #bonkers!

      @queenmedusa and @fabnine - you both are too kind!

      Queenmedusa - don't admit defeat, it's not defeat not to reach your goal, it's defeat to never try! Always be proud of what you accomplish!!!

      ^^^Yes! What she said!
      Last month you set a goal of 8 miles & you beat it with 10 1/2 miles. You've already run almost 16 miles this month. That's about 1.5 times last months mileage & double last months goal! (Math Geeks close your eyes here, I'm making a point not being exact.) You really are improving! (*) You set a huge goal for yourself & you've been running your heart out to hit it. Somewhere in there you realized this: " running more of my route, and faster. I like it!!!" You're doing something you enjoy, that will keep you healthy. Sounds like a win to me. :)
