    i went for a long run today. it was only supposed to be 7 but i did 10 and felt awesome! i could have kept going, so maybe all i needed was a break. i feel more confident that i can do 13.1 now that i have broken the 9-mile-mental-barrier. :) my arch is still bothering me, but not too much.

    great job on last month! second place is awesome!

    Dawn--Happy you broke through your 9 mile barrier, way to go! You will rock your half!!

    Are we going to have a 4th member for this month?

    10/3: 2.5 miles walking

    I wore a compression sleeve on my hurting shin while I ran tonight & I've been alternating heat and ice this evening too. The run felt so good! Going to try to bike and swim most days this week to rest it though..

    thanks for the well-wished. my first running attempt at a half-marathon is complete. i am looking forward to never doing another one. :) it went well, and i think the difference was in the numerous aid stations. i need to fuel better if i am going to run longer distances. i was slower than i was hoping for (my time was 2:26), but i'll take it.

    gboh = 28

    i am fine with it being just the 3 of us this month as darth heals.

    Did TONS of walking this weekend but no running :frown: Looking like I won't get to run today either because my family is hiking a nearby mountain. Still lots of miles but I can't wait to run on Tuesday!

    3 miles to get back in the swing of things. legs felt very heavy, but it was a nice short run. i don't have a race lined up for november yet and i am feeling kind of adrift. i'm not sure how much i want to push myself, but not having a goal in mind is weird.
