@marisap2010 I'm sorry your race didn't go as planned! It's so frustrating to say the least that the bad run happened on race day. Very unfair. Oddly enough a similar thing happened to my friend running the Wineglass too. She ended up throwing up during the race and had back pain out of nowhere. She is so disappointed…

@marisap2010 I was just coming here to post good luck to you on Wineglass this weekend! My friend headed down there today too, and I saw on facebook my running coach is there too (I guess he's not really my coach anymore but will always hold that title for me). I'm glad you made it and have some time to settle in and relax…

I was in NJ for work for a few days - near Princeton. The weather was lovely and much cooler, and I managed to actually get out and run 3 of the 4 days. I was pleased with myself for that and it was a nice change of pace to run somewhere new. The grounds of the conference center were lovely with a ton of deer. I really…

Thanks @shanaber. I remembered your shoulder issues. I hope PT will take care of things, but the PA was saying that surgery could be an option for even a smaller tear with good results before it gets worse. I'm curious what the PT and the ortho doc will say. Now that I'm more aware of trying not to irritate it, I feel like…

@rps67 sorry about the Achilles issue. It is so frustrating to have that kind of nagging issue. Hope the tape helps. @polskagirl01 love the guinea pig signs. Don't hog the shampoo, lol. @marisap2010 love that shirt. You are doing great and it does seem like tapering should feel easier! I'm sure it will in the week before…

@shanaber I also would love to see Duran Duran, but that sounds miserable in the rain. I hope you got to hear some good songs and enjoyed it as much as you could while soaking wet. I have been singing "Come Undone" in my head since I read your post. @rps67 yay for a good run day! And even in the rain. Glad it was a better…

Looking forward to a race report @7lenny7! Hope it went well! @martaindale have a great time in Puerto Rico Nice job getting your 14 mile run in ahead of schedule @Scott6255 @marisap2010 good luck with your marathon simulator run tomorrow. We had lovely weather this morning in upstate NY, it did get a little warmer than I…

@kgirlhart congratulations on your maintenance. So fantastic. @marisap2010 I'm very sorry about the loss of your friend. After 2 days not running, I ran 4.5 miles today with a friend. Definitely much-needed and good to catch up with her, making the time go by faster. Quite a bit cooler today but still very humid.

Thank you @shanaber and @quilteryoyo. @eleanorhawkins congratulations on your race! That's pretty bada$$ to just decide last minute to go ahead and run a tough race, and then shave off time from last year. Impressive time too for such a technical race especially! Wow. @martaindale Happy birthday to you and your kiddo! Glad…

Hi all! Checking in after disappearing for a while. @shanaber I just saw your question in the August thread - thanks for thinking of me. I don't even have a total to post for August yet, I haven't kept up with my spreadsheet for a couple of weeks. It's been spotty. September is not starting off very strong either, but I…

First run post in August. It's been a whirlwind. So sorry to be pages behind but I only read through quickly and nodded along. Hope some of you are now getting a break from the heat, I know I did the last few days and it was wonderful. 08/01/22 :::: 2.0 :::: 2.0 08/02/22 :::: 2.0 :::: 4.0 08/03/22 :::: 0.0 :::: 4.0…

Thanks for setting us up @martaindale! Good luck with marathon training this month @martaindale, @marisap2010 and @Scott6255 - and anyone else who hasn't posted yet. @shanaber I keep trying to get back to 100 miles too, but it hasn't happened. It is something to keep striving for. I'm not setting a real goal though. Work…

Great running in July everyone, despite the heat and other challenges. @Scott6255 sounds like you are in a great position heading into marathon training with that many miles a month already. Great job on your total @marisap2010. I'd be tempted to get the 120 too, but probably not enough to go back out there. I love the…

@marisap2010 I empathize with the hard week of everything going wrong. Glad you were able to get a run in this morning and your ankles didn't swell. Sodium seems a likely culprit.

Sorry to hear about your mom @kgirlhart. I'm glad she is doing so well in recovery so far. @Mari33a how terribly scary! What a huge relief that he should not have any permanent damage. @7lenny7 sorry to hear about Kody too. It is terrible to see our beloved companions decline, but they also have such strength to hang on.…

Hi all. I've been absent since I don't know when in June. I finished up June with 63 miles, which was up 2 miles from May, so that is somewhat of a win. @quilteryoyo your vacation looks lovely and I'm glad you had a good time. I can't remember enough to comment on everyone else but I've read along in bits and pieces and…

@7lenny7 you are crazy :) @Teresa502 sorry about the power being out and all that comes with that. Glad you got another hike in. @yirara yay for running mojo. Enjoy it. And @polskagirl01 sorry for the opposite for you. I agree with your idea to do some other things for a while and not force yourself through running and…

Great running everyone. I went through and like and enjoyed pics and reading your posts. @marisap2010 love McSweeney, ha! I guess I should run an ultra marathon and as it says, I'm embarrassed this didn't occur to me before :) Fun that you are in the RNR marathon video too! Date :::: Miles :::: Cumulative…

@marisap2010 summer marathon training is a big reason I don't want to do one again. It is rough week after week to add miles in that heat. It makes you tougher my coach always said, and then when the fall weather comes it will feel so much easier because you put in the work under those conditions. Hopefully :) @7lenny7…

@quilteryoyo that Florida plan sounds lovely. What part of Florida? It's always hard to mix vacation and family visits for me and I have to say I had a much better time this last time when I stayed in a hotel. @eleanorhawkins you are so tough to scrabble through that "shortcut" and then power through a long run. For fun?…

@shanaber glad to hear your shoulder is doing so much better and no surgery! That's excellent news. Hobbes is so cute enjoying his day out at the winery. I don't envy your heat @shanaber and @RunsOnEspresso. @kgirlhart has the right idea with sprinkler running! @quilteryoyo nice paces for your workout! That's a lot with…

@polskagirl01 sounds like you've made a good decision and I hope it really helps reduce your stress. @teresa502 gorgeous pictures. I want to run that path in Galway and see those cliffs! Thanks @kgirlhart and @martaindale @martaindale sounds like obstacle races may not be your thing?? Lol. I think I'm winding down on my…

Thank you @quilteryoyo and @7l3nny7. I am setting my goals for the Spartan at "have fun" and try not to lose a shoe in the mud :wink: Ouch @7lenny7 that freak stick attack sounds painful. Good luck with all your miles this summer. @teresa502 welcome back! Sounds like you must have had a fabulous trip. Good job getting in…

@shanaber I don't have any real personal experience with a bunion (I maybe have a very mild one) but my sister had bunion surgery on both feet. It was a tough one to recover from but she is glad she did it because the pain was bad. Her bunions were pretty severe. I'm sometimes tempted to try those alignment socks that…

@shanaber I was thinking where is @rheddmobile for the raccoon expertise. Haven't heard from her in a while so I hope all is well. I tried zero drop shoes and thought I had sufficiently worked into them but did a longer run and was in a lot of pain and gave up on them. Those look cool, I hope they work for you.…

Hey friends! I've been MIA for a while but checked in here and there to see what you all are up to. Everyone seems to be doing great so far in June! Re dogs - the pics of Dakota above are cute - love the side-eye. I have a "bad dog" so I am very careful to keep her on a short leash and near me when other people/dogs are…
