Jdubard - I only run 3 days a week because of my schedule but am hoping to up it to 4 or 5 times. I think you should definitely rest today to give your muscles a break to recover. It's going to be a very busy day for me so I wanted to post at work when I got the chance. It's proving to be hectic already and I've only been…

This is very exciting! Unfortunately I won't be of much help either but any support you need I can give. I'm sure there are several people on here with many race experiences that can offer some wisdom though. What an honor to have been asked to head this up. I'm sure you will do great and have fun doing it and when you run…

Wow! I think the whole country was hot and humid today. It's been such an unusual summer in we haven't had too many humid days & let me just say I don't ever miss them. I Ran for 3 excrutiating miles in the humidity, my calves were cramped for most of it. Boy was I glad when it was done but also very glad I didn't talk…

Good Morning! Went for a run this morning set out to do 3 miles ended up pushing my running buddy to do 3.5 miles. I know not a big jump but more than we've done. We were a bit slower than normal which is hard for me to swallow but it's better than nothing.

Annaliza - Don't let those people get you down. You are doing great! I know it's hard and I have yet to accomplish it myself but you just need to block them out and run. There's no sense in letting them negatively affect your run, however, it looks like the anger fueled it and you shaved a min. YEAH for you! I say if you…

Morning -- you see there's no "Good" in front of that morning! I had an awful, horrible, terribly miserable run today. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day or if I psyched myself out! I have been dreading today's tempo run and for good reason. I found myself stalling this morning -- taking extra time to get ready -- all…

Good Morning! I only run 3 days a week (Mon, Thurs, Sat) right now so I don't have a running update but I did play tennis and volleyball last night. Tonight I have more volleyball and am hoping to squeeze in a bike ride some time before that. I'm still trying to figure out how to manage to get everything in every week this…

Thanks for the welcome and advice Sherry and Julie, I think we will stick with the 3 miles for now then gradually increase the mileage. The half we're thinking about is in Sept 2010. On our run today (3 miles) we talked about training for a 10k in the mean time which we'd have to figure out when and where one is. We…

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if I belong in this group or not (I've never really considered myself a runner because I don't have a lot of distance or speed behind me) but I've been reading the posts for a few weeks and thought I'd like to join if there's still room. I think everyone here is great motivation for this…
