So sorry to hear that you got hurt, and smart to wait until it is 100%. You have a great attitude!

When I was 10 years old, I received a Huffy for Christmas...totally loved that bike. My mom saved trading stamps to purchase that bike. Those were the days.

Even though I completed 91 miles last month, not sure about weather, work schedule, etc for this month. So planning to complete 80 miles as a goal. Still working on my base....going to increase to 10 miles per outdoor running....and, for treadmill...rolling hills with intermittent speed drills.

@_nikkiwolf_ Congratulations on finishing so well on your first Marathon. I loved your recap....I felt like I was there with you, What a super job keeping an even pace throughout despite developing blisters toward the end of it! Awesome victory picture!

How do you like the 80/20 plan? I think that it has really helped me. I was able to sustain an average pace of 11:20 minute miles x 8 miles which is really good for me. No appreciable soreness. Kudos to you for attempting a marathon. Whenever I finish a half, I never think that I could have run another 13.1 miles.

Are you making sure that you are replacing your electrolytes? How much sweating are you doing? One thing that really helps me after a long run is doing jumping jacks, high knees and butt kicks intervals while walking slowly x 15 minutes after my run. I am doing the 80/20 right now....working on my base...so not really…

@BeeerRunner , @Elise4270 , @greenolivetree ....thanks for your advice. The pain mysteriously went away the next day. I was going to run last night (long run), but decided to stay home with my husband....not going to risk aggravating anything. I plan to run Sunday....long run, slow pace.

Yeah, you recommended the book in your February running challenge when the discussion drifted to running books. I thought that you had read it already. I am reading the book also, and am going to try to use some ideas to work on my running base.

@Ohhim Good luck on running your marathon today. Whew! A Marathon....you have worked hard...I am sure you will be successful! @lporter229 I can totally relate to a husband who thinks that running is more important than he is. I actually had to sneak my runs in after I got off work. It's better now...I just work harder at…

Thanks to everyone for your support! My race went well. It was cold for October 8th...45 degrees and a headwind throughout much of the race. It was held in Fort Ben Harrison State Park. I have never been there but the course was laid out great with most of it going through the park. Many, many hills...I wimped out on mile…

Just picked up race packet today. Free parking and free cookout afterward! I have been taking it easy this week. Hips and lower back feel tight, may run slow speed mile on the treadmill tonight. Anyone else riveted by watching the TV coverage about Hurricane Matthew?? It amazes me that people will still stay in their homes…

Congratulations! I know that this is a big hurdle for you! I know that you are going to have a blast!

It's going to be a busy week this week. Taper week this week! Alice Cooper tickets tonight....one of my favorite artists...should put my husband and I in the mood for Halloween and the political elections in November...."Elected". Tomorrow night we drive to Bloomington, In...to see John Hiatt in concert. Last time we saw a…
