I probably won't update until the end of the month. But as I'm new to running I'll put myself down for 26.1 Miles, or a marathon of miles for the month. I'll probably go over, but I prefer to aim low in case something happens. So far in two runs I've managed 6.5 miles.0

Slow and steady. Recovering from this injury is a new mindset for me. Its been 2 1/2 months and I just want to get back to where I was.

Total: 40.2mi
May goal: 120 (through 17th)

@booklover22 - That's great!!! You will be amazed at how you will just keep adding on, but just take it slow so you don't get injured.
@sonicdeathMonkey80 - How fun! You should have run thru a Taco Bell and picked up a taco during the race and you still would have won!

Hi all!
I'm back from Pittsburgh and managed to hurt myself... I'm pretty sure my 175mi goal is out the window now (along with my BQ attempt in 2.5 weeks). I had an awesome time though, and I got to meet @SonicDeathMonkey80 ! Congrats @Ohhim on your race, it was a tough day for a race out there.

Lovely Morning out there Guys! Many blessings to you all.
Thought to add to the discussion r/g wild dogs coming at you and your dog while running. This happened to me 2 years ago. I carry that runner's pepper spray Miss ReynaDay01 mentioned. It was handy, but it took 5-6 direct hits in the eyes before he stopped charging me. It was awful. Pray. And fake charge the dog back.

It's my IT Band. It's bad... Very bad. I might still run the marathon but it won't be a PR/BQ attempt for sure; there is no way.

Oh NO!!! I'm so sorry - I just can't believe it. Hugs!
@wendy1fl - thanks for the advice. I think if I was alone I would have been okay, but having Skip and Macy put me in Mama Bear mode. LOL I would probably be hard pressed to pick up Macy, she's almost 70 lbs. We are going to Fleet Feet this weekend, Skip needs new kicks and I told her we would grab some mace while there. She also runs alone so I want her to have something. Then again she's a black belt in karate so maybe I just need something for me
@sonicdeathmonkey80 nice run! LOL @shanaber Taco Bell LOLOL0
