Annaliza- Thats awesome, I love those kind of runs! ..and thanks for the compliment your so sweet :happy:
Gustergirl- Glad to hear you like your new shoes hope you feel better!
Kechie- I would die in that kind of humidity so kudos to you! ... I ran in arizona for like a week and it felt good but I knew I would never be able to live there lol
Saretta- Just keep pluggin away, it'll get easier!
I was a bit tired from my run today so it was a rest day as far as running but I rode 22 miles in the hills on my bike with my dad and uncle (hardcore cyclists)... so it was fun to go with them cause I learned so much!

Happy Monday to you all!!!
Good to see you back among the running, Raymond, we've missed you! Hope your daughter recovers quickly! It's no fun having a hurt kid.
Becky -- congrats on the double digits -- what an accomplishment! Hats off to you!
annaliza -- great on your hour+ run -- great job!
kechie -- I'm on the Va. Coast and can commiserate about the humidity. It's tough!!!!
Saretta -- keep on and they will get easier and the tired-ness you feel will get less and less.
WW -- how on earth did you run on 2 hours of sleep! You're my hero!!!!
Oh and Emylew -- don't talk about age
You're young!!!!
Ok -- well I did my 14+ miles on Saturday. It was tough -- very hot and humid. Didn't get to go until 5;30pm. The last miles were tough -- so we took a couple very short walk breask -- long enough to eat a jelly bean. Felt great to do it. The route we "tried" to follow was 15.11 miles -- but of course I am challenged when it comes to directions so it looks like we went farther -- but with the time it took it should've been shorter....so I'm guessing 14+ miles. That's why I need my garmin to hurry up and get here!!!
Took yesterday off -- did 5.5 easy miles this morning.
Hope you all have a happy monday!!!

Hey Kechie -- or anyone who's run a 1/2 marathon...
I'm in training week 9 of 13 (woohoo a rest week) -- but was looking ahead to the long run one week before the race and it;s a 13 mile run! Are they crazy -- or will I be seeing some tremendous improvement in the next few weeks. After my long run it takes a couple days to be back on track 100%. Just curious!0 -
Good morning everyone!
Planning on a quick 5k run this evening - going to do some tempo work, I think. Nothing much else to report (rather than my usual mile long prattle post :bigsmile: )
Hope everyone has a great day!0 -

Great job!!!
A jellybean? A single jelly bean??? :laugh: :bigsmile:
A great run, too!!!
Not sure I understand your last post....why are you worried about a 13 mi run when you just did a 14 mile-r on Sat? Lol, not that I can answer your question
0 -
Cause it's only 7 days before the race -- and it always takes a bit for me to get back to 100% --and I'm just scared that I won't be well enough rested.0

Happy Monday everyone!
a quick 2 this morning for me.
first morning run in a long time, I don't think my legs understood what I was asking of them :laugh:0 -
No run today. I did Plyometric Cardio Circuit from the INSANITY series.
I'm going to cycle tonight as well. Some nice non-impact cardio.
Have a good day everyone!0 -
Did 3 miles today at race pace--took a minute of my 5K time I did in June. Mentally I want to be going so much faster but not really doing any work to get faster:ohwell:
Julie-If you know that it will hurt you to run the 13 miles-dont do it. You already know that you can run the distance. Let yourself be rested and then kick *kitten* at the race! For Team in Training they have it as 12 miles 2 weeks before the race and then 8 miles the weekend before the race. Could you do that? Thats more feasible! Good luck!!0 -
Hello runners! I have to say, I'm learning so much by reading all of your posts! I'm so excited to keep getting better!
This weekend I ran 4.5 miles on the treadmill (which I find much easier, but boring) on Sat
and 4 miles outside on a hilly route on Sunday in heat and humidity. ugh. But it feels so good after!
Going to try for 5 miles tonight depending on whether my body is cooperating!0 -
Hello runners and Happy Monday! It sounds like everyone is doing great!!!
Becky, Jabdye, Annaliza, Kechie, Leash, Gustergirl- Howdy!!!!
And welcome to all the new members as well, I love this thread!!!
Well, I felt really good after running the 14 miles on Saturday. Yesterday morning a friend asked me to do a recovery run with her so I did 6 miles (shouldn't have done that many I know!) and now my ankle/heel is hurting something fierce. A pain almost shoots through my calf muscle at times, other times just feels a little numb? PLEASE don't let this be anything major. I am terrified of hurting myself, I'm trying to train reasonably and I iced it last night. Does anyone have any suggestions? It does not appear swollen, just really uncomfortable even when walking.
I just cross trained on the elliptical this morning and even that was somewhat painful. :grumble:0 -
Willywonka, I am no certified medical professional, and certainly don't want to be negative. Just throwing in my two cents (and you can throw them back at me if you want to :laugh: ). My boyfriend ran with me two weeks ago (he doesn't run nearly as often as I do, so he was over-doing it trying to keep up :blushing: ) and he had pain in his ankle. He was having trouble walking and said it was killing him. Went to the doctor on Friday and it turns out he has a stress fracture :ohwell: so I'm running alone for at least the next month
. I hope this isn't what you have, but the symptoms sound similar. The doctor told him there wasn't much he could do (maybe an air-cast at best) and just to rest it and not walk a ton, and certainly not to run.
I hope you're feeling better, and I hope it's not a stress fracture at all. :flowerforyou:0 -
kelynn, this is what I am REALLY afraid of. I don't know whether to go ahead and get it checked out or rest and ice and see if it improves. when I walk, the pain almost feels like it is in the arch of my foot too. i am feeling really, really depressed today because of it. i have been so excited about the marathon training and the long runs and it has been going so well, I pray this isn't anything major.0

WW -- could it be plantar fasciitis? Sounds like all the symptoms. I saw info about it and the treatment on runner's world. Mostly involves icing, stretching the achilles tendon & ibuprofen....oh and even shoe inserts that support your heel will help. Seems very common. check it out.0

Greetings Fellow Runners! This is my first post to this topic; I am traning for my first full marathon. Tonight was an easy 4 mile run. Just getting out there and doing it is always my battle, I was extremely tired after my long workday today and didn't really want to run. It turned out I had a great run and actually felt more energinzed than I had all day!0

My first post to this thread. I'm trying to become a real runner. Right now, I'm doing Couch to 5k, and am about half way through. I can do the two 10-min at 5mph so far. But finding it a bit hard to move beyond this.0
-
Reclining figure- Welcome, stick with it, you will get there!
Aolson- Welcome, running a marathon is great, keep it up!
Jenny- I agee with jabeye I think it could be plantar fasciitis... have you gotten new shoes recently? Just make sure to rest and ice a lot!... it helps to put your feet in buckets of ice water, it hurts like hell but helps a lot too!
I'm going to run tonight and probably cycle some too, have a great day everyone! Happy Running! :happy:

Good afternoon everyone!
WW - maybe ice it for a day or to and if it doesn't improve, go get it checked out ...it's better to be safe than play a guessing game as to whether or not there something wrong/not wrong. I sure hope everything is well.
Welcome to all the new runners. It's good to see our little group growing and growing. I look forward to picking your guy's brains
Julie, I agree with GG - I would take it easy before the marathon since it takes awhile to get back to 100% (and you want to be 100% on that day).
Kelynn - running alone is not so bad ...I've never had a running partner. Hope your BF gets better soon.
It's so nice to see Leash posting again!
Just checking in before I leave for work for the day. Hope everyone is having a good one.
Happy Running all!
