Thanks Rybo, that is about what i thought it was. I am considering purchasing a dvd or book- it sounded interesting and i heard about it from some friends on the west coast.

Bummer on the bear! Obviously it was not meant to be this year. I know what you mean about registering for the next thing to keep you going. I don't have anything on the books except VACATIONS!!! and you know what that means :drinker: Cheno - that sounds like fun at the zoo- entertaining at least! You did great and I hope…

Glad to see everyone is still going! Cheno- I'm sure you will figure out a plan to keep running with your daughter- you may have to get creative. Good luck on your 10k- I'm sure it will be fun! Jay - keep up the good work- you'll be ready by end of May- little too far for me to go! Princess - sounds intersting- let us know…

Hey - Where is everybody? I know I've been super busy working 10+hour days and MIL in hospital, husband out of town.... just nuts but where is everyone else? Anyone Running? I ran a 10k last Sat. in 58:14 (with a few walking breaks towards the end).... I had to peeee so BAD! I have a bladder problem that is not cooperating…

Hi Everyone! Just had to pop in real quick. Things at the office have been crazy! They laid off some people and gave me another job on top of the one I already can't keep up with...... I know I'm happy to have a job :) I'm finding now how much of a stress reliever running is for me. I'm glad everyone seems to be feeling…

Great Job Olive- welcome! Princess- I never ran the full 13 till I ran the half and it was fine. You are going to do great - your adrenaline will get you there! Cheno- I'm leaving for hiking/camping Sunday afternoon. Back on Wed. - My brother hooded me up with EVERYTHING including a shovel - and my husband is coming along…

I can't wait till 5:00 so I can get out and RUN..... it is absolutely georgous outside today here in GA! Cheno- I'm going to check out that program on runner's world to help with a 10k coming up in 2 1/2 weeks. I'm still taking it a little easy with this IT band issue. I know you will do great in May! FluffyLove- Welcome,…

Do you feel like a caged animal? Just need to break free! I understand... Get out there and RUN, you will feel so much better.

Girls, I totally understand working around schedules, it gets to be crazy. Mine has totally been off this week. My goal for next week is to start back my morning workouts (treadmill or Jillian strength video) and then extra outside time during lunch and after work. Cheno- Wow, sounds like you've been around some awesome…

That was a pretty good one Chrissy! I felt the same way- I never thought I could run because I have boobs :embarassed: There are some great photos of you. You even look like you are singing, having a great time! Mine not so good #17016.... and I totally missed the thing at the end infront of the sign. Oh well, I'll know…

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this addiction! It is a good one to have :love: Love to RUN!

Morning Girls.... Welcome Jay- Good luck to you in your training! Cheno- Sounds like a good plan to just enjoy running. I get so excited and jealous when I just see someone else running, like when I'm driving to work. I want to be out there with them right then. Am I crazy??? Chrissy- I hope you had a good run yesterday.…

Thanks Cheno- and when is yours again? Chrissy, I haven't heard about a brace but have read to back off on mileage (to heal) and stretch. Feels much better today. I think I'm going to focus on strength training, stretching and shorter runs for awhile. I have a 10K coming up in 3 weeks. I do want to find a good half to plan…

Sure, of course! How are you feeling today? I'm much better... Knee feels good again but my hips are still sore. Yesterday was a rest day and I plan to do some walking today.

It was AMAZING crossing that finish line with the thousands of people running! I loved every minute (even most of the hills and the light rain) It was perfect for a first time experience! I ended up at 2:24 chip time which I felt very comfortable running. However my body is feeling it today. I'm researching IT band…

Lisa, I used Hal's Higdon's program and think it has been pretty good- but of course this is my first race..... in less than 2 DAYS now!!! Good Luck to you. OMG.... Chrissy- I'm so excited- I hope I can sleep the next two nights. I think the rain is going to hold off till the afternoon- at least that is what I'm praying…

Great Job Princess! Keep up the good work you are going to do fine in April. Yes, love the weather here too- hope it holds up for Sunday morning! That does make sense to store up the energy- just a little nervous I suppose. Gymrat or anyone else- have any tips for us 1st timers since you already aced yours!

Chrissy- that is encouraging to hear that it seemed easier- Good for you! My knee feels back to normal today (thank goodness)- looking forward to a great 4mi. run this afternoon - today's hi should be almost 60. YAY...... Does everyone elses training program have them tapering off and resting the two days prior to running…

WOW.... you go Princess! That is awesome- I love your determination.

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! The socks are wright socks and they are awesome- Thanks again Chenoachem for the recommendation! They have saved my feet. Chrissy- I bet they would have them at the expo this weekend if you can't find any near you. ATL - ING 1/2 countdown has begun - less than a week away. Can't wait to meet…

Hi Ladies, Seems like everyone is keeping up and running when possible and some great race times, WAY TO GO everybody! It has been a strange week for me 3days running I came down with bad stomach cramps and barely made it home..... not so good. I've kinda been in a funk - runs seem harder and my legs and feet feel like…

Happy Monday Everyone! Chenoachem- I ordered the socks on Friday so I can't wait till they come in. The body glide sure helped this weekend- no new blisters. I hope you recover from your cold- don't push it too hard. Chrissy- glad to hear you are doing better- sometimes that is all we need is just a few days rest and our…

Thanks - I'm on a mission to find these socks! I've had blister problems with every shoe I've tried and I use think moisture wicking socks already. Chrissy- you'll feel better once you make sure with a Doc- The ING is 3 weeks away- you'll want to be running at your best by then.

chrissy- bummer- i hate to hear that. let us know how the weekend goes.

Thanks Chenoachem- understood. I'll have to check into that. Unfortunately with yesterdays run and my new shoes, I aggrivated this blister in the arch of my foot (just got bigger) so having a hard time walking on it today. Crazy- and I'm pretty tough! Today was a rest day so I'm hoping it is better by the morning. Gym Rat-…

chenoachem- what is a tempo run? just wondering... chrissy- good luck on the shoes- over the last year i've tried mizuno's, asic's and now the brooks- liked them all and am into the cushioning as well. just trying to find that perfect shoe for me. hope the foot is feeling better! today was a short 3 mi. run (doesn't seem…

Chrissy, I agree that I would go have it checked if it continues. How old are your shoes? After a few long runs and really feeling it in my feet, knees and hips the past few weekends - I decided to replace mine after 4 months. Wearing the right shoes for your type feet is huge! I have plantar fs and wear these great…

Way to go Chrissy on 11mi ! On my Sat. 10 mi run I had Greek yogurt (15 g protein) w/ banana & flaxseed about 1/2 hour before my run and pita w/ peanut butter and apple after. I don't think that was too bad. I can't do caffeine because of a bladder problem (IC), so I'll have to try more protein after run and maybe a nap as…

Good Morning to all! Just wondering if anyone is having issues with recovering from their long runs? They seem to wipe me out the next day. Does anyone have advice- could it be diet? For the most part, I eat healthy (mostly clean eater). My long run days - I seem to be hungry all day and TIRED! Ran 10 miles outside (YAY!)…

Chrissy- Yes... I've been working on these last 10 lbs. for MONTHS! I started my Lent off with Clean Eating- I'm hoping this will help with my endurance for running too. We'll see how it goes. Doing Jillian's DVD's for stregnth training a couple times a week too. Great I do hope the weather is nice- I'd love to meet up at…
