Sorry for not checking in last week. Did ok this last week and this week. Need to step it up if I'm going to get to goal. Miles this week: 15 MTD: 27

Those Yurbuds look awesome! Thank you for posting their website!

Thanks for the tips. I appreciate it! :)

Hey! I ran a total of 12 miles last week. :) Thanks for setting this up! :)

I've done 12 miles so far this week with more I'm hoping on Saturday and Sunday. :) I love this challange!!

Can you count me in on this. I need to get my but back in order. Put me down for 50 miles in December! Getting started today!

This is all excellent information! Thank you all for your help! I'm going to try to start lifting here and there. It's definitley harder when the only time i have to workout is in the evenings. I'll make it work. Thanks!

Love this!! HAHAHA

Back of shirt: "If you see me collapse, please hit 'Pause' on my Garmin." Bwahahahaha love this

Beautiful family!

Sure! Love a man in a sleeveless shirt! :)

I love this one I found online... I run like a girl.....try to keep up :bigsmile:

LOL Love this!!!

Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I'm going to try to lace them differently when I run tomorrow and if it's not enter I'll return the and try a 1/2 size bigger. Love all the advice I get on this site!

I'm going to go to a running store in the next few weeks and get fitted properly. I'm excited to get some new shoes!

I have a question on recovering after a 1/2. Do I not run for a few days after? I know after some 5ks I'm sore because of the course and a run a day or 2 after helps my muscles. Any advice? Thanks!

I do like the tip of trying to run outside at least once a week to get the feel of it. I've done a few 5ks outside and 2 of them were in the cold. I have one more that I'm doing on Thanksgiving day. Thanks for all the advice! I've downladed the Endomondo app and I'm having my friends do the same so we can track each…

Thank youi pixie mom for explaining. I did see in my training schedule the cut back in miles before the race. Thanks!

I woud definitley reccomend warming up before hand. Especially if you plan on running at all. Just helps so much with your muscles and try to do a good stretch when your done, if possible. have fun and enjoy yourself! Keep going, and don't quit. When I was walking I did a 5k in about 45-50 min. Keep at it. You'll do great!

Ejwme: What's a "taper" I don't remember seeing anything that said this in my training schedule. Thank you all for the awesome advice!! :) I'm getting mroe and more excited just reading what you have all said. I guess I never thought about having to fuel my body during the race other than water but it makes sense. Do you…

I've only run a 5k so far. So I have a long way to go. :)

Thanks so much for the link!! I'm going to try this myself.

Thanks so much! It's helpful

Yeah so I also did a double take at the subject line. LOL

This!!!! Stick with it and remember your doing this for you. Everyone will come around eventually

yeah I can tell I'll be hurting from those tomorrow. LOL

Thanky ou all for the great advice. I'll check out those site you reccomended. I do need to get a new pair of shoes, the ones I have are old and aren't fitted specifically for me. Thanks!!

Compression bandage???? Is that like a really tight Ace Bandage? I know I haven't been resting like I should. I try to get in a run 6/7 days of the week but I'm just starting off so I should probably take it easier and not run so often. I make sure I stretch a lot after I get done with a workout but I never ice my shins.…

Moni can you explain a little bit more how to do the exercise, I'm confused.......but it doesn't take much to confuse me. LOL Count me in!

Well I'm definitley beat now!! Got my jumping jacks in first because I hate them the most and then switched between situps and pushups. Dang who knew that pushups are so hard. LOL
