I'm definitely one who likes to greet other runners, walkers and bikers though the closer you get to Minneapolis, the less likely you'll get a return greeting.
@rumijs, @aleph_0, @nettiejb, @vandinem & @unrelentingminx, way to go!
@9voice9, unless I stop long enough for my heartrate to get back to normal, I don't feel like I'm losing out on anything by stopping now and again. When I take Kody running, I'm forced to stop so I can water him and pick up his poop. "Glazing a Trail"...love it!
@skippygirlsmom, that is awesome!! Such a great picture of Skip too, so beautiful! Give her a high five from me!
@shanaber, way to go Hobbes!!
@ruqayyahsmum, I find you to be an inspiration! In spite of having to deal with the scum, you continue to keep going. You are a strong woman! and your daughter is very cute!
@patrikc333, I didn't run marathon distance today, but I'm also having barbecue. I have 3 racks of ribs on the smoker right now.
@JoRocka, I know exactly what you're saying about wanting to scream encouragement. It's not the ultra fit, or the multi-marathoner that give me inspiration, it's the folks who decided to make a change and are bustin' their *kitten* to improve themselves! THOSE are the folks I'm cheering for the loudest, but like you...inside. I don't' want to risk offending them by saying anything. I will give them a big friendly smile, however. Awesome 5K btw! I'd be thrilled if I could do it that fast.
@ddmom0811, did you happen to take any pictures of your time in SF? Sounds like some scenic running! I've seen that bubble soccer. My son wants to do that for his birthday party sometime.
@kristinegift , cool tat! Beats the 26.2 bumper sticker any day.
@mwyvr, glad the hat is working out. I just ordered the visor version. I got a great deal, but after I placed the order I realized the size was in Spain. I wonder if I'll get the real version.

@ddmom0811
what you are quoting is absolutely true
I think it is important to split the mind from the body
@ inner voice in your mind that tells you "quit, why do you bother, go home"
and the body, that can keep going for longer
the problem is that is not so easy

i had planned to run another mile and i should have but i got put off by a heckler
now i get stuff said to me all the time, usually along the lines of look at that fatty jiggling, i own a mirror, i know at 214lb down from 387lb that theres a fair amount of movement when i run
At the lake they have those pedal carts available for hire and on the last stretch one was coming towards us. the woman was sat doing nothing while her husband did all the pedalling and the kids bounced in thier seats. she had looked me up and down, laughed and then sneered before loudly saying "this is the best way to get around the lake, i dont have time for stupid running" i shouted back at her " thats nice, i do!"
but it bothered me so much that when i reached the car park i got in instead of running a half mile up the road and back again like i had planned
This is unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Am so sorry you have to endure all of this. Jerks! I wish they do this to me because, I have to say, I would not be as nice as you are and would make them feel like *kitten* for what they say!0 -

8/8 - 3.1 Run to the Rescue 5K today. Skip and I ran, it was trail for almost 2 miles (I've never run off the road) then onto the road, then onto parking lot gravel (ugh) then back to and finish on grass. We don't have official times, I was I did a 9:43 pace just over 30 min so not near a PR, Skip said she was about 23:49 not near her PR either. I thought it was a tough course, a few hills. The trail was hard for me very rooty and uneven, but it was a lot of fun. I finished 3rd in my AG and she finished 1st in her AG.

126 miles of 120
Skip said thank you all for the congrats, she's still walking on cloud nine. She didn't run with me today, she went to a party last night and was too tired to get up. Ah the life of a teenager. Had to get Skip some new inserts for her running shoes so off to Fleet Feet we went. Decided I needed a new pair of kicks, got about 450 miles on my "old" pair. Brooks Glycerin 13s

oh mai- that's awful!!! so sorry to hear that- I wish you could have finished!!!
it's funny I was driving yesterday and it was about 11:30 and MISERABLY hot (BF and I kept saying NO WAY IT"S ONLY 79*- it was just so unbearably hot and humid) anyway- this young man came literally slogging by my car while I was at a light. He was barely running- he must have been in his late teens- early twenties- over weight and just really grinding. And I seriously wanted to roll down the window and say F**K YES!!! My heart was bursting for him- because it was hot and miserably and he was out there effing doing it. (no way you'd catch my sorry butt out there at noon!!!)
But I know from here- some people really don't appreciate that type of encouragement so I kept my mouth shut-I'm a runner who says morning to everyone I pass whose out so this is hard for me... but I just wish every runner out there who struggled with the idea that someone was judging them knew there are runners everywhere who are silently cheering you on- GO GO GO KILL IT!! SO PROUD OF YOU. I do it for every runner I see- and I do it for anyone whose running in the mid day sun or the biting cold or driving rain.
Seriously- I just want to scream GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KILL IT!! but I can't. So any time you think someone is heckling you- remember there are silent runners (or sometimes not silent) cheering you on from the distance. You're making people proud all over.

Congrats to everyone who made goal and to everyone close, it was another hot month.
@7lenny7 yeah new running clothes!
@kristinegift love love love the tat! I have a few and the pain has never bothered me. The one on my back took well over 3 hours to do so I was more tired than sore.
@ruqayyahsmum why can't people keep their stupid comments to themselves. What happened to if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything. Love the pictures. Insanely great weight loss!
@jorocka love the look on your face, super time in the 5K. You'd love to run with Skip, she is always "great pace" "nice run" "woohoo you're doing great" thumbs up, waves she's the public relations director of running. I like nothing better than a thumbs up or a "great job" when I'm running.
@9voice9 Super 5K. We have a Krispy Kreme dount run here, I can't imagine doing that. I'm a person that runs when I run, I never stop to take pictures or anything else. But I also don't take my phone and I run before work and the streets in my neighborhood are very nice but not photo worthy. Though there was a big turtle scrolling across the Greenway today. Congrats on the toenail loss LOL I have one that is black since June.
@ddmom0811 Sounds like the run across Golden Gate was awesome. I love SF, been there a few times. You had a great mileage month.
@shanaber I just love Hobbs and his ribbons, he's so proud.0 -
@skippygirlsmom I love those new shoes! So pink, so bright! Just my kind of shoe!
@7lenny7, @snha, Thanks! I'm glad people like it (and that I didn't make a typo on the tat!).@kristinegift I love It! glad it wasn't terribly painful! My husband isnt keen on the tattoos, not so sure i'd ever get one.... but i'm diggin' yours and thinking mmm, I bet I could totally pull of a running tat!
You totally could! But might require some husband persuasionskippygirlsmom wrote: »@kristinegift love love love the tat! I have a few and the pain has never bothered me. The one on my back took well over 3 hours to do so I was more tired than sore.
Oh my gosh, that's such a long time! Mine took about 10 minutes and I was like, Not bad but to do this for hours? Whole different story! I'm finding that so many other runners here have tats and I want to see all of them!0 -

Okay I lied. I realized that today is the last day I can get up to run at a normal hour (5:30). As starting tomorrow I have to get up an hour earlier (430) if I'mi planning to run. So, I ran a 5k. I went out intending to run a 5k, after the first k debated doing a shorter loop and then convinced myself to continue on for the full 5k length.
70/50km for august. Hoping for 100km in September as half-marathon training starts. Half marathon on December 6.0 -
@kristinegift it was a long time, we took a break so I could get something to eat for about 10 mins because I started to feel faint. The one on my ankle took about 30 mins and that was a breeze compared to the first. On my back I have a hobo clown and my ankle is a combination of roses and hearts braided around my ankle with Dad written on the outside. I love bright shoes too, don't always get them but love them.
@elise4270 our shoes look so much alike

@JoRocka That's a great encouragement, well saidSeriously- I just want to scream GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KILL IT!! but I can't. So any time you think someone is heckling you- remember there are silent runners (or sometimes not silent) cheering you on from the distance. You're making people proud all over.
And on top of that, you also ran an awesome 5k time!
@kristinegift That's a really cool tattoo! I like the roman-numbers idea.
@skippygirlsmom Congratulations to Skip, you have good reasons to be proud!
@9voice9 Congrats, I guess. ;-D Fortunately,I haven't had that happen to me yet. Maybe that means I'm not a real runner girl yet, but that's okay for me.
@unrelentingminx Wow, you left your goal behind by a lot. Well done!
@ruqayyahsmum You too, that's a lot of extra miles you did this month. Too bad that that woman's comment ruinded your last mile. Imho, she's the one who's stupid, not the running. Good that you managed to shout a comment back
@shell1005 That's sounds like a cool lady. I wanne be like that when I'm seventy, too!
I'm so far behind on this thread, I just read the last few pages. The last week was really stressful (a mix of work-stuff combined with bad time-management on my side...). Put me back not only on reading, but on actual running as well. *sigh*
I finally got a chance to run on Friday evening, but after two nights with less than 3 hours sleep, I totally wasn't in shape, so I didn't even last for half an hour.
After a lazy Saturday, I felt recovered enough for a longish 12km run. I might try to squeeze a short run in on Monday evening, so that I can at least call it a hundred for the month.
97.6km of 111km done

@patrikc333 Congrats on the marathon distance and on your monthly total ... yikes that's impressive. Some might think crazy but I would not be one of them!
@shell1005 What a fabulous story!
@ruqayyahsmum Don't let hecklers stop you, not for one minute. You've made amazing progress and are doing things that the vast majority of the population can't, or won't, do. Be proud and run on.
@kristinegift I've never wanted a tatoo, I've got scars aplenty anyway, but I have to say... I could go for a running one. Hmnn.
@5BeautifulDays @7lenny7 I say good morning|afternoon|evening to all runners and most who aren't too. I'm not that impressed with runners who can't spare courtesy. In the mountains I don't think I've ever *not* been greeted by a trail runner; but in the city it's a different story. This week while running 21km through the busiest running area of Vancouver (seawall) not a single runner out of hundreds returned my greeting. Bizarre. Maybe I had snot hanging from my face.
Today Kady and I ran 2 hours + through decently hilly trails after the biggest wind storm we've had in while. Some trails closed due to downed power lines and some dodgy looking trees still standing that shouldn't be for long, but my oh my it was a perfect run. Perfect. Love those. 1-888-RUN-GR8T please ship me a year's worth!

Goal: 40 miles
8/4 - 3.66 miles. Darn ITB bothered me around 3. I thought I was over this.
8/6 - 4.33 miles. No ITB pain, but slowed WAY down. Cautiously optimistic
8/10 - 4.53 miles. No pain again! Still very slow, but slow running is still running
8/12 - 3 miles. Taking it easy so I can start adding long runs on the weekend.
8/14 - 3.5 miles
8/16 - 5.3 miles - felt great, no pain. A little sore in my hip a few hours later, so taking an extra rest day.
8/19 - 3.1 miles - Moonlight 5k. It was HOT and HUMID, but averaged 10:30 miles on a hilly course. I'll take it!
8/21 - 6 miles
**Vacation from 8/22-29 - Disney World. Meant to run a few times on the dreadmill, but just ran out of time. Walked 7+ miles per day (in the heat and humidity) so counted it as a week of cross training
8/31 - 5.5 miles
SO CLOSE to goal!![exercise.png[\img]](http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wh6nyyw/exercise.png[\img])

@kristinegift I've never wanted a tatoo, I've got scars aplenty anyway, but I have to say... I could go for a running one. Hmnn.
@mwyvr Haha, well if you want a tattoo in the future, a running one would be a good one to get! We all seem to be crazy about it
PS: How do you get the fancy instagram embed to work on here? I tried yesterday and failed miserably.
Group tattoo!

I've finished the month short of my goal of 250 km, but am happy to have made it over the 200 mark and had a good finish with a 15 k run yesterday. Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement everyone.
