@TheMrWobbly way to go on the HM! That's impressive to do back to back to back to back!

Happy Birthday @Teresa502 🎂. Have all the cupcakes! So I did my 15K Hot Chocolate run today. It was supposed to rain all day so I didn't know if I was going to be able to, but there was a break in the rain so I went ahead and got ready to go. Had a banana and coffee, and headed to the green way trail. I wanted to run this…

OK! Good point!

Rest day today. Looking forward to doing my own virtual hot chocolate run tomorrow. Should I should I not wear the bib, lol

All this!

Did my usual 4.5 miles today , then met up with a friend in the afternoon for a walk, and we did 5.5 miles! We just go to talking and just kept going. We did stayed the width of the greenway apart, which looked odd, but has to happen. Lots more peopl out today, I think finally people are beginning to realize that this…

Went out for the usual 10k today, ended up doing almost 8 miles at a good pace too - 3 of those miles at 9:45ish!. Felt good, and I had more time today since I'm going to be working from home...My job is not the easiest to do from home though. But it is what it is. So glad our parks and green ways still open. There were…

I have signed up for the virtual 15K Hot Chocolate as well as one of the virtual pace ones @dreamer12151 mentioned. The Top Gun one 'cause that medal! And one of my fave movies of all time. So I really had no choice but to run it. I do like your idea though @rheddmobile We should all pick a date and run whatever distance…

@quilteryoyo fantastic magic mile! Before long, you’ll be able to keep that up for longer than a mile.

4 mile walk...today. I did sign up for a couple of virtual races...actually looking forward to that. School has now been closed as we keep getting more cases and actually had a teacher test positive. Yes fear drives a lot of panic behaviors. We do though have a situation that is absolutely serious and not being over hyped.…

Yes, awesome photos! Great form wish I looked like that lol. Also we have the same shoes..if those are the New Balance 1080 foam...great race!

So as expected my race to is canceled. Initially they thought they could keep it, considering it’s smallish ~250-300 people, with staggered starts, but alas the town it’s in said no. And no makeup days either. So they will defer registration to any of their other races, our choice of which one. Oh well. I’m sad but not…

Been a couple of days and chatty bunch as usual! Just finished reading and I would love to comment on everyone, but alas..time. Quick update on my toes/ball of foot. Went out TWT for my regular runs and no significant pain - there is still some numbness/tingling, but not painful per say. But, I think after about 6-7 miles…

@katharmonic Wow. Inspiring for sure. I would never have thought to do that! @quilteryoyo Great work!! @Avidkeo I wish I could begin to love running in the rain

@mbaker566 No words, how terrible. Lots of hugs to you @RunsOnEspresso Hugs for you as well.. To those who are hurting, injured, sick etc. So sorry and healing wishes coming your way. Thanks for the thoughts on my foot/toes everyone. Yesterday I did go for a walk with a friend around the lake. It was actually nice to just…

@bearly63 Thanks, I’m pretty sure it’s that inflamed nerve or ligament right at the base of toe 3. Yesterday was such a sharp pain right at that spot and the the toes hurt as well. Hope you prognosis is better than we think, and yes ask lots of questions!

Way to go @Camaramandy648! You did do it!

@durhammfp Great race! I would like to do a race in Durham.. @7lenny7 sorry about Kody...hope he is alright

Happy Sunday 😀 So yesterday I decided to run on the green way that will be the course for the HM. I’ve not run this part of our extensive green way system as it is in Cary, and I’m in Raleigh which is not very far, but still a drive to get to. Anyway I wanted to see the course. And man, this one is tough. This particular…

Hey I had pizza too! Yes carb loading for the next run! That’s my reason..lol

I’m usually slower on hills, I try to keep the effort the same but the pace is for sure slower. Why I want/need to do more hill work..so my pace can increase and not be so hard lol

I'm beginning to see that about the downhills - the last race which was a 5K, starts on a fast downhill, and yeah my legs did feel it when the uphills started. I for sure will go run this..maybe even twice! Here is the snapshot of the elevation of most of the course Looks terrifying, LOL

This is my thoughts too. So, when should I do the 13.1 mile course - I have 3 long runs left before the HM..

Thank you...does make sense. So, running the hills of Raleigh is probably better :) And thanks for the shout out on my race!

Welcome newcomers! This is a great place to be! Did 4 miles yesterday on the treadmill. Did seem needed incline/hill work. Would you say 5-6 incline is good for hill training? We have plenty of hills here in Raleigh, but I just wanted to do a structured workout. Rest day today. 3 more long runs before the HM. Another…

Omg, for sure! Ugh. That is so unbelievably wrong on her part.

@RunsOnEspresso @LoveyChar Yes! So glad you understand. This is the first time I’ve actually said anything to the owners, I usually just give them a look, which I’m certain they don’t care about. I just had enough I guess as this is not the first and won’t be the last.

Sorry I missed the post about Emma. It’s heartbreaking I know. Lots of hugs to you. You certainly can have as many as you like. You’ve had a rough time lately! Glad you are back to walking and running!

7 miles today. 2 slow warm up, 4 slightly faster than HM pace 1 cool down. Out on the green way. I Love Love Dogs. I have a Boxer. Have run with him when he was little - he can't much anymore - he just gets winded easily - must be the short muzzles. Anyway. My point. Every time I did take him, he would be on a leash…

@Camaramandy648 You would just keep running. And trust us, once you have completed, the thought of another will creep in. It usually does. I did my first HM last Sept. and it was supposed to be I want to see if I can do it, would be great to finish one, say I did it. And that would be it. Well I have one coming up, and…
