    Guys, I DID IT! I ran 3.45 miles non-stop for the first time since I started back with this. I can't believe it, i've gone from running intervals to doing a whole 5k. When our coach at Running Club said tonight we'd be running the entire route non-stop I just thought "no way i'll manage that, i'll just do the best I can" but once I started I just kept going and going. Super happy, i've amazed even myself. Happy, happy, happy! :smiley:

    @CariTJR Yay you! Well done! I was incredibly happy the first time I did 5K (in December). Love that feeling!

    1.5 last night and 4 this morning -

    So, I used an orthotic on the right side only - and just noticed as I was lining my shoes up after the run today that the colors of the left insole and the right orthotic actually match the outside of my running shoes. It's the little things that make me smile. Have a great day, y'all!

    @Elise4270 @ddmom0811 thanks :)
    @skippygirlsmom great photos.
    aerial yoga is not nearly scary. especially when you do low aerial yoga. 6in off the ground. it's like yoga and foam rolling all in one

    How are we already half way through March?! Time moves too quickly these days!

    Legs are feeling better. My right calf/ankle/shin area is still super tender though. Foam rolling is torture and while it isn't messing with my gait/form at all, it's annoying. I really regret wearing the shoes I did for my race on Saturday. I'm hoping I can get through today and tomorrow's miles, then having two days off in DC will do my legs some good. Fingers crossed!

    Agh.. Running a bit behind now, as I caught a stomach bug and have been useless the last few days. Starting to feel better and hoping to get back out there tomorrow!! Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
