    @skippygirlsmom Yay, Skip! She's just passing all her tests with flying colors lately! My brother recently got his permit (he's 14 going on 15), and when I go home I'm sure he's going to want to drive me around... Eeeek!

    15 is hard enough to imagine driving, but 14 oh my gosh!

    Ok - now going for 150 miles this month... figured I'd drop off my mileage post-marathon, but I'm itching to get under 1:40 at my next half marathon, 3:30 for my marathon next January and have another 7lb to lose to reach my weight loss goal.

    5/2 - 2 miles
    5/3 - 26.2 miles (3:44 total time, 8:33 pace)
    5/7 - 6 miles
    5/9 - 4 miles
    5/10 - 12 miles
    5/12 - 4 miles
    5/13 - 5 miles
    5/14 - 4 miles
    5/15 - 3 miles
    5/16 - 5 miles
    5/18 - 12 miles
    5/19 - 7.3 miles
    5/20 - 3.5 miles
    5/21 - 8 miles
    5/22 - 6 miles

    Total: 108 miles
    Goal: 150 miles
    Remaining: 42 miles

    9: 3.1 miles (first 5k!!)
    5/11: 3.1 miles
    5/13: 3.1 miles
    5/14: 1.5 miles
    5/15: 3.1 miles
    5/17: 3.1 miles
    5/18: 3.8 miles
    5/20: 3.1 miles
    5/22: 4 miles (new personal distance record!)

    Had a great run tonight! Took it easy and felt great the whole time. I wanted to keep going but I have a 5k Monday and didn't want to overdo it.

    Tomorrow is a sailing day so no running. Sunday I may go for a 2 miles easy run or else a 4 mile walk.


    Progress: 27.9/40

    @johnsonnelly running in the rain (not monsoons like @annekka has to contend with) is lovely! And hard core. Good job! :smile:

    @Stoshew71 - thanks for the videos! Interesting one about the Kenyans and will catch up on the music/pace ones later this weekend!
    @7lenny7 - thanks for all the links! Will definitely check out my music to get the pace!

    Busy day but got a quick 4 miles in before heading out to the agility trial. Ended up sitting in holiday traffic for almost an hour (for a 20-30 minute trip). Got there just in time to check in. Hobbes did not run well probably due to my stress but there is always tomorrow!
    Hope to get in a decent longish run in the morning before heading out again and hopefully there won't be traffic like today!

    How can you not love a race that has a $5,000 bounty for anyone who breaks the 10K course record? This is the race that @stoshew71 @codemonkey78 and I will be running on Monday. It has a killer "speed bump" and here is the comment from one of the top region female runners "It's just the one hill," Mudy-Mader said of the Cotton Row's infamous uphill climb that begins at mile 2 and tops out at the three-mile mark on Mountainwood Dr. "Before that hill, it's nice. I've run it a couple of times for practice. As soon as you get to a hill, it's super steep. After that your quads and legs are so dead. It kind of helps that it's downhill later on, but you feel like you have the hill in your legs."

    Oh I can't wait LOL
