2019 Mini-marathon race report. The Mini-marathon is a huge event in Indy, which signals the start of almost a whole month of festivities that terminates with the Indy 500 at Speedway. It is becoming a larger and larger event. I noted when I was at the Expo a banner with all of the runners, whose names were in teeny-tiny…

Good luck to @PastorVincent and his wife at today's Pittsburgh marathon. Having finished a half yesterday, I can't imagine thinking running double the amount of miles. Whew. So happy to see the checkered flags. I will post a race report later today or tomorrow at the latest. I am meeting my girlfriend for an early dinner.…

So I am hanging out in the parking lot, waiting until it is time to walk to the starting line. Noted raining off and on right now. I have to leave early for thy he event because the streets are blocked to the north and south of my house. My right hip is aching....I am convinced it is early arthritis.....the last time I ran…

Thanks @Elise4270. I sat for 2.5 hours taking a test which had 150 questions. I successfully answered 99 questions and sadly 6 questions shy of passing. I will retake the test in September. My weekend with my family was wonderful and although I did take study materials, I did not open the book. I wouldn't have done…

Hi everyone....finally posting my April goals. I've been hit and miss on the forums lately. Will try to do better this month. I missed my goal last month by 2.45 miles. Will set goal for 50 miles this month. 4/2....5.28 miles (Monon trail) 4/4....5.34 miles (Monon trail) Tuesday's run was the first after running a half…

Late to the party, but I am in for 40 miles this month. My last workout was February 14th prior to this week. I have been blah since the beginning of the year. I found out recently that there were 2 holes in our stove and may have gotten a little carbon monoxide in the house. Stove fixed and feeling better. March…

It's been a long time since I've posted. Virtually no running during the holidays. I have enrolled in a half marathon scheduled for the end of March. So starting back slowly. 35 miles for the month of January. Started out the month of January with vomiting (not after New Years partying, I can assure you.) So slow re-start.…

How long have you been doing it?

I joined this site because there was no help for "weight gain during the night shift advice." I have lost about 30 pounds. 42 pounds total since trying to lose weight. Recently have stopped eating when off work. Really hard. I have been on the night shift nearly 20 years.

Do you cut off when you are working the shifts too? I usually eat a meal on my break at 2 a.m. and then try not to eat after I get off at home, which is really tough to do.

Hey, I am impressed that you ran in "cold" rain or any rain. I look for advice/kudos from my mfp friends. My husband can be kind of clueless. I think you are great!

I am about 424 posts behind so bear with me. Just wanted to comment on your assessment of 30 degrees feeling cold. I last ran on Monday and the temperature here in Indy was 34 degrees and it felt great. However when I ran my half marathon earlier this month, it was 34 degrees and I was sitting in my heated car seat until…

I am upping my goal to 60 miles. My half marathon is this Saturday....the Monumental! I looked at the times for the various age groups and if I keep running after 80 years old, I might have a shot at the age group record. That's how slow I am. For my tomorrow self, I going to keep running, watching my diet, and reading,…

Good for you! So jealous!

I forgot when I logged last. I have my tally on my phone...to recap 50 mile goal for October. October 5...5.23 miles October 8...10.23 miles October 13...10.26 miles October 16...4.04 miles October 17...5.01 miles October 23...11.02 miles October 27...12.09 miles Total is 57.88 miles Goal is 50 miles Strong run on October…

@LaDispute57 That was one gripping race report! I couldn't imagine climbing one of those hills, much less 6 or 7 and wading through water. Totally blown away by your effort!

Wow! You have a lot going on other than your race! Good luck and have fun, at least!

Wishing you the best! At least you will be running with "fresh legs". You may do better than you think!

I can't find my original post but know that I was in for 50 miles this month. This should be the 1000th post of the month and I am only 514 posts behind. yay! However I am still running, fitting it in between my nights at work. 10/5...5.23 miles (on the Monon trail) 10/8....10.23 miles (on the Monon trail)...76 degrees…

In for 50 miles...again. I have entered a half marathon the first week of November. Will be trying to increase distance this month for my long runs. In the meantime....working a lot of overtime and we need a new roof on our house. We have 2 estimates which were far apart in price. Decisions, decisions. Good luck to all who…

Hello, all. Long time in not posting. Back from vacation. We visited the beautiful Southwestern South Dakota....the weather was perfect and then we hit the Indiana state line and back to hot humid weather. Bleh. I didn't get started right away with running....so again, I will be short on my 50 mile goal this month.…

Beautiful pictures. Good luck on your race! So looking forward to Autumn!
