Myles you should totally try a triathlon it's a great community with wonderful people who help and support one another.
BTW the trail run was HARD! I managed not to fall. We missed a turn so only ran 11.5 miles vs. the planned 13.1 and I was grateful. I will be sore tomorrow.
When I get the go ahead to run again, I will look into that for sure.
Hey, you finished even with the short cut. That is excellent. Was the terrain hilly? I've only ever run a 13.1 on a 10 ft (over the whole course) elevation change.
Extremely hilly. My hips and glutes are killing me. It was beautiful and very fun. I'll post some pics later.
Clearly I need to do a lot more of this before tackling the JFK 50 miler in the fall.0 -

You are my hero. I can't even think about 13 miles of "extremely hilly". I hope you can walk tomorrow.

I can't keep junk in the house or I will eat it all...in one sitting. There have been chocolate cream pies that have disappeared in an evening...there are only two ppl in my household. I put signs on the pie that say things like "don't eat this, you will regret it" in an effort to discourage myself from eating it all and then my fiancée will walk into the kitchen and find me with a mouthful of pie and I yell "I regret nothing!" and keep eating...so yeah, not an ounce of junk in our house now.
Also, when I was really trying to restrict my intake (bad idea, I know now) I have stopped at the bakery on the way home from work saying "oh, we just need some bread" and then I will buy half a dozen doughnuts and scarf two or three of them on the way home...
I'm totally a binge eater

Great job!!!Hi
I decided to try running for 3 miles without stopping today to get ready for the 5K
This is what I did
Got home and showed hubby
He smiled and told me he had signed up for the prediction race and guessed 35 minutes.
I'm super excited about this because I haven't run more that a mile strait without stopping before.

I can't believe I shared that.
I have done that too!!! haha
I'd also like to confess I just finished my 3rd beer and I'm ready for another one. It will be the 3rd time I have had alcohol this year. I knew I should have just bought singles but the lovely craft ones only come in a box. What's a girl to do? No way I'm pouring water in them and throwing them out. lol
@Italian_Buju, on this! Bingo!
I thought it was only drowning PB?

Patricia, How did the race go?
Kelly_c Ha! Funny there was several times I saw things yesterday that I thought of the game too.
Myles, I wish you could be able to run again too, I know what you mean about being able to relax and clear your mind when out running. It does that for mede too. I have done water aerobics before but it is much more social. It also can be as strong or light as you make it. I have never tried water running like you describe, it sounds hard especially in the deep end. Do you do it alone or in a group?
You did have a great time there, Wendy. my attitude toward running is that I hate it unless I have something to pray about, in which case run and pray until you feel better.
I have actually began to like exercise more every day. It was not always this way. Running when under stress does help significantly. The run I showed was a practice run on my own using Digifit to see if I could actually run a 5k. I was pleased just to have been able to run for 3 miles straight. I was very surprised at the time.0 -
I bought a bag of popcorn thinking it would be a filling, tasty, low-calorie snack. On a stressful day I ate the whole bag, totaling something like 700 calories. Then I proceeded to eat chocolate for a snack and Indian food for dinner without weighing anything.0
