    I didn't know there was a "Runner's Club" on here. I ran 8 miles and feel amazing! It's the best way to start the week.

    5 miles. That's the longest distance I have ever run outside and without stopping. I feel amazing!

    Hi there Tabassan!

    I think we've been posting for a year now. Just a fun group that checks in daily. We post about running, walking, resting, and other workouts that we do. Look for us daily! We'd love to hear what you're up to.:smile:

    Awesome job ladies! I have yet to run 5 miles outside, maybe soon.
    I did do another 5k yesterday, it was my second one. I am really sore today, not sure whether I should run or rest, what do you think?

    Hi Runners!

    I'm back from my 10-miler. It was a little soggy out there, but the really heavy stuff didn't start until after I crossed the finish line. My final time was 1:20:40. I was pretty happy with it.

    Jess-WTG on your half and new PR! That's awesome! You've worked hard for it!

    Tabassan- Welcome and great job on your 8 today. Are you training for anything specific or just running to keep fit?

    Hope you all are enjoying what's left of the weekend!

    WTG on your 5k! I'm not a professional or anything, but you might just want to try a nice easy mile today, just to loosen you up a bit.:flowerforyou:

    I have to go out running later today but havent run in 2 days. I am scared to do it with the kids there. I live next to a high school and I can use their track but I dont know if my kids can handle playing there for a half hour. Will have to brainstorm.

    If you are that sore, I'd do a recovery run (jog/walk) to loosen up and improve the circulation to your muscles, followed by a good stretch.

    Five miles for me this morning.

    Heather, good job on the 10 miler:drinker: :drinker:

    OMG I just got back from running 20 miles! I didn't think I could do it... I'm running a marathon at the end of the month and I've been stressing about it so much. I'm so excited now! Keep running everyone! :happy:

    Thanks!! Nice job on the 10 miler! I felt great after and still feel great today!! I did yoga today and my legs still feel good!! I am really feeling a difference in how I feel from doing yoga twice a week!

    No run today, I think I earned a break!

    Great job runners! :bigsmile:

    Thanks so much! That was my first time running that far, I've been running consistently since August but I was always running a little bit for volleyball before that.

    I'm so sad/mad. I'm still out because of my dumb knee. It's not really hurting, but it is? I don't know. Very strange. If it doesn't stop hurting completely in the next two days, I guess I'll go to the doctor.

    Very jealous of all of you that are running. :frown: But great job! :smile:

    Where in the knee? Side, front, back?? Hurting only when running, walking?? Send me a message, I had what I thought was knee issues that ended up being severe IT band strain.

    I ran my first marathon last September, it is such an incredible experience :) Great job, twenty is definitely the hardest during training, but you made it.

    I did 3miles outside this morning and am aiming for 4 miles on Friday.
    I did manage to shave a little over two minutes off of my 5k time from my first race two weeks ago to the one I did on Saturday :wink: A group of about 7 of us from work ran it and I managed to outrun all of my co-workers, i think it got away with the guys, haha.
    After the race with two of my work buddies

    Now i just have to work on my endurance for these long runs. you gals are awesome!!

    Wow, you guys are amazing. I love to run but can't seem to improve my endurance. The most I've run on a regular basis is 3 miles and that was years ago. My daughter comes home from college tomorrow and she wants me to start running with her.

    My biggest issue is breathing. I get so out of breath I can't keep running. My legs want to keep going but I can't because I'm breathing to hard and it hurts. :grumble:

    Any of you have any suggestions for me? I've heard there are some breathing excercises or techniques but haven't a clue.

    Keep up your greatness everyone. I am very inspired.

    Many Blessings,
    Nita

    I would slow down your running a bit. Try doing a run/ walk. When you feel so out of breath, take a walk break (1-2 min). Then run again. You will eventually build up endurance. There are lots of programs at runnersworld.com that help get you running longer distances. Good luck!

    Hi Jess - Thanks for the tip, I"ll check out the website too. I'm setting small goals to see if I can overcome the breathing problem.

    Thanks for the encouragement. You guys are great!
