@msf74 - Just the red dog is mine. The black one is a friend found on the beach. They do have a great time splashing, running and chasing and rolling in the sand of course
@snha - It is the Huntington Beach, CA dog beach. One of the few where dogs are allowed to run off leash here.
@skippygirlsmom - It is so good to have a dentist you like and trust. We have been seeing ours since college and I saw his dad until he retired. Don't what I will do when he finally decides to retire but he has kids in college to pay for yet so it will be a while!
@dharwood68 - it was great weather this morning for a run in the rain! Just wish you would have sent more of it south
@kareF - so glad you got good news about your ankle and that the physio is going to work with you and keep you out of a boot! The 6 weeks will be over before you know it and you will be back to running again!
@Virkati - the dog beach is so fun for all of us!
Got in a great easy run this morning in the cool, cloudy, almost, but not quite rain.

Welcome! We'll be glad to help you get addicted, and then enable your "acting-out"!0 -
Slow start this month. Runny nose and early dark have been challenges.
Running has been the best thing for my drippy sinuses. Have you heard about the farmer's blow?

@juliet3455 Brr, that's so cold! Regular cold temperatures isn't too bad, but wind chill is the worst part of winter running, imo. Chills you to the bone! And -40 is just crazy cold. Ick! lol0 -

@dharwood68 - definitely love to run in the rain, unless it's lightning and then I'm a chicken.
Here is the bear my neighbor filmed with this security cameras. http://screencast.com/t/iBFd2108W
Neighbor went out to get the mail close to midnight and the bear ran away but then a few seconds later turns back. Bear has been seen just about every morning and night but is afraid of people (thank goodness), so I try to be noisy while running so bear knows I'm coming. I realized this morning my singing probably sounds like a wounded animal so I had to adjust the tone.0 -

10k yesterday, awful, very slow, but as decided I didn't put too much effort on it, it's either speed or distance now, butit was very demotivating to see a pace I've never run at before for that kind of 10k
today HM, awful, super super slow, again very demotivating looking at the garmin and consequently in really bad mood, as lots of concerns in my head now - is it time for a rest? is my body telling me I need a week off?
very windy for a week now, I run upwind for a good 80%, it is difficult to not get frustrated
last HMs were very good, my best pace in a couple of months, no fatigue, today extremely tired, so there is no real pattern to make me understand what's clearly going on
for my usual HM in the woods I don't think I'll be able to come home tomorrow if I'll feel like today just need to see what happens, in the worst case I will need to walk for a good 5k if I give up0 -

My football team is the Mercer Bears, but I think I'd be VERY not interested in running in the neighborhood with a real one. But I larfed at your "adjust the tone."0 -

Staying ahead of pace for my 120/month, so I feel good about that. Temps in the low 50s (which is usual for November), so pulled out the long compression pants and the long-sleeve tee, and the wool gloves (HATE to have cold fingers - 'cause I'm a pianist). Was able to enjoy a couple of good runs over the weekend.
Got some new kicks yesterday (BCG Evade - http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/bcg-mens-evade-running-shoes). Did my 4.46 this morning, and they felt good. And they were CHEAP! $20!! I'll let you know if they stay good, but I'm not really a connoisseur (yet), so it might not be especially informed.0 -

At least were you live you have a little more then just raccoons I mean I don't want a bear walking around my house but I am getting bored with all these little rodents the usual ones . Well to come to think of it I do have deer's.Were do you live0 -
Good news.. My physio is going to treat the snapped ligament/avulsion fragment as a bad ankle sprain and he has taped it up. He is happy that I can put weight on it with walking when I need to. A few times I have gone to pick up after my little boy and lent to the side a bit or put my weight on the back of my foot accidentally and I can definitely feel it.. but I can walk on it so that's something! Lots of flexing to do this week to help strengthen muscles. No weight-bearing exercise all week and no running for 6 weeks.. but I am getting away with just taping it up so I'm happy I have escaped a moonboot! I have already marked 6 weeks on the calendar.. Already going stir-crazy!!
Thanks again for well wishes!
@shanaber I love that photo of your dogs on the beach! So gorgeous!!
Edited to add: Physio is happy I'm getting Asics Cumulus runners - says the extra ankle support will not go astray after this
Great news that it is treatable and that he will hopefully get you back on track soon. :-)brandy79tx wrote: »Hi everyone! Glad I stumbled a cross this site. I am in need of some motivation.

Welcome aboard. Stick with us and I am almost guarentee progress.ShanazAsiya wrote: »Hi, Everyone I love the way you guys are so motivated It always seems like no one gets tired in this group one thing that I am happy about is I have found a partner to run with or walk/run twice a week. I would love to try a marathon but it never happened because all thru my life I was moving and finnaly I stoped and were I stoped they don't have marathons but I found other great things that I can do mostly they are for women but some are for women and men. Yoga any one?
Having a group or partner to run with is always a great thing. @JoRocka in this group I think lives around you. And @kristinegift is studying at Princeton and may help you find a marathon to run in.gaelicstorm26 wrote: »Little by little the runs are getting easier. Hoping to add 10% to my distance next week.

Hope you feel better soon.I realized this morning my singing probably sounds like a wounded animal so I had to adjust the tone.
I am sorry. I had to laugh at this one. My singing (even when not running) is not so good.skippygirlsmom wrote: »
Skip will entertain any school that will give her money, we can be brought very easily LOL
@kristinegift I giggled at your comment to @stoshew71 that he'll kill the HM this weekend, of course he will he's trained so hard. I'm just begging him not to lap me ha ha! He could probably run the race then start over and pass me before I'm done. But this is the thing I like about the running community, I'll be so happy for him and his race and he'll be happy for me and mine.
Hahaha and yup. The running community is awesome.0
