@Orphia Super congratulations on completing and demolishing your first marathon! Wow! And loved the clips during your run. Your finish was inspiring...it looked as if you could run another 26.2 miles! @skippygirlsmom Congrats to Skip for obtaining citizenship. That's so cool! I know that she will be an inspiration to those…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 29....I slept 3.5 hours after working all night, saw my doctor afterward, and then hunkered to run the last 6 miles that I needed to complete my goal. I forgot to charge my mp3 player. So I was…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 27.....6 miles. After working 3 nights in a row with a total or 8 hours sleep during that period, I felt rather sub-human. I told my husband that I had planned to run. 15 minutes later, he still saw…

I was going to post that violators of #1 should have a higher fine. Thought maybe I was being too snarky. However, in the middle of a half marathon that I ran in the Spring, 2 runners stopped in front of me to take selfies. I thought, "are you kidding?"

@MobyCarp Bummers! I just saw a recent post of you with your foot in a boot. So sorry!Is it the same ankle that you injured at Rochester? I noted that there were kettlebells in the picture. When I broke my toe several years ago, I still went to the gym and worked on upper body strength. And, another note....my orthopedic…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 23...5 mile run. It was a much cooler day.....cool breezes. My quads were a little sore and tight but managed to improve as I ran. Because it was cooler, it was much harder to get my heart rate into…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 21....6 mile run.....didn't feel like running....not sure what is wrong. It was hot and humid. I watched the solar eclipse coverage on c-span.(I didn't have those special glasses) I had hoped that…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 14...6 miles....83 degrees but very humid and no breeze. It felt good but I had not run in over a week and didn't want to overdo it. Just finished 4 shifts in a row, and Saturday and Sunday were…

It looks beautiful but where is the path? Or are you running freely through the meadow?

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 4....Another late start, but hadn't planned to run. I decided last minute to run a short one. I wish that I had more time....nice cool weather...66 degrees with cool wind. I ran a little faster than…

Thanks for the link. Wow! It does look like quite a lot of walking. I will talk to her about it. She is in pretty good shape for her age and for really avoiding exercise like the plague.

Great news! Congratulations! That's a perfect date for a first....should have nice cool weather during your run.

NO kidding! Even though I ran late last night, it was still 86 degrees, and super humid. I didn't bring water with me, and could have killed for a drink of water. I think that I am going to incorporate the dreadmill myself this August, esp. when I am running low on time. Even if it is only a mile or two, it is better than…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. My goal for this month is 60 and I am going to get it this time. August 2.....I had a late start. I felt terrible after eating breakfast and took a nap before getting started. My start was extremely late....6:40 p.m. My goal was to run 8 miles but my head was not in it…

I can't believe it. August 1 and I am 7 pages behind. Goal is 60 miles again. I was short 6 miles last month, but this month I will get it. After returning from Grand Rapids, which is a beautiful city with a lot of genuinely friendly people, I had to work the next 3 nights, and was unable to complete my July goal. Just…

Those are the coolest leggings ever! I showed my husband and he accused me of going through a mid-life crisis. Just recently bought some short levi shorts, which he called, "daisy dukes". I can see you really rocking them.

I wanted to get it done as early as possible which meant that I ran in the middle of the day (approx 3 p.m.). It was 85 degrees with…

I use Heel Tastic for my chafing issues. I told my husband about it and now he uses it all of the time, every day...he's obsessed with it. He has some chafing issues and psoriasis. I think that we married brothers.

So I had to do some work at home...our "end of the year" is June 30th. Also rained hard here. I didn't get my planned run done in June....finished with 50 miles out of 60 in June. So way did I have the time to read all of the posts. New July goal....keep up with the posts, and retry to get 60 miles this month.

Thanks, I will practice that technique. Running is tough enough without having to deal with tripping over loose shoelaces.

My husband doesn't like the taste of water....his urologist told him to only drink water, and he struggles with it. He uses some type of lemon additive that he mixes with his water. I took a sip of it by mistake, and "ewwwww!", how can he drink that stuff. I looked at the bottled water that I drink...Nestles pure life and…
