How to stay motivated: Sign up for a race, or set a time/distance goal for yourself over a long period of time! Working towards a goal of a race or a personal goal will give you something to move towards. Once you have your goal set, I recommend a training plan. I print my plan out and cross off the days that I have…

7/2-4.5 total miles 7/4 +5.75 miles = 10.25 total miles 7/7 +9.25 miles = 19.5 total miles 7/9 +5.25 miles = 24.75 total miles 7/11 +3.5 miles = 28.25 total miles 7/16 +5.25 miles = 33.5 total miles

I agree. I had a dog come running out after me a few weeks ago, and it was almost hit by a car as it ran out across the street to chase me. People need to think about the safety of their own animals as well as the people that their animals are chasing. I have a dog myself, and he is only off leash on my personal property,…

Thanks everyone. I haven't significantly increased training recently, but maybe I did pull something and rest will help. I do try to be aware of my running form, so I'll keep working on that too. It's mild pain, nothing severe, so its hard for me to treat it like an injury since I don't want to rest because I want to keep…
