@skippygirlsmom - A full marathon in every state...OMG! I ran my one...I'm considering a second. But 50, no thank you!! Good luck to you and Skip this weekend!

@Stoshew71 and @7lenny7 - Thanks for the clarification on the BPM and cadence. You all are much more technical than me at this stage...I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!! @dharwood68 - Rest up and feel better quickly! Must be scary but just take care of yourself!
-
@Stoshew71 - I didn't think I was explaining it very well, sorry. My work blacklists a bunch of random things too... So when you go to the homepage it says: "jog.fm helps you find the perfect music for your run...and your walk and your ride" and then it has a drop-down menu for: "my mile time is ????". You select your time…

I'm starting to think it will be easier not to take rest days so I don't get so behind on everyone's posts/progress!!! My on running schedule is on a bit of a holding pattern...it's a bit of a TMI medical situation, so I am trying to spare you all the details. So anyways, I have a HM on Saturday that I have really been…

@Somebody_Loved - That's awesome!!! Congrats! I also fight with myself about paying race fees but there is something about the atmosphere/running with others that does make it worth it when I can afford it! Like @skippygirlsmom - I do try to find races that benefit a local organization or a charity of some sort which helps!

AMAZING!!! Congrats!!

Gosh, hope you are okay! My in-laws were here for 3 weeks - they just left on the 10th - and while I think they think I'm crazy, I happen to know that my running makes me a MUCH better DIL!!!

@kristinegift - That's awesome! That is where I ran my first half ever back in 2013 and I loved it! What a great race! And I definitely enjoyed the cookies at Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop...we'll call it carb loading, right? Have a great race!! And enjoy the (very hilly) course!

I don't know why or when they decided to start putting the pads in sport bras, but I also just throw mine. Other than for extra sweat absorption, I can't imagine why they are there!!! @Elise4270 - I buy mine at TJ Maxx and I will buy any brand that makes them primarily with cotton. @kristinegift - Sorry if this already…

So after many months (too many) away, I'm back! I find the miles posted, the information shared and the support given so encouraging and motivating! Stanley, thanks for keeping this going, even while some of us (or me rather) had to flake out for awhile! So a 85 mile goal for the month of October. 10/1, 3 miles 10/2, 5.2…

@JoRocka - Love the vest! Looking good! I'm training for a HM on May 3rd and hoping for a sub 2:00 time... @ddmom0811 - Have a great race on Saturday!!! I would love to try a 10K, they seem to have very few of those in my area...but it seems like it would be such a great racing distance. @autumnblade75 - Welcome back! Your…

@briebee7 - So sorry to hear about your fall. :( Hope it heals quickly. @skippygirlsmom - I agree wholeheartedly with briebee7's advice for fueling. For me, it matters much more what I do on the days leading up to the race - eating right, sleeping enough, easy runs and rest days, eating a little but not too much the…

@dennie24 - love that pic!! @cooter_mom - Congrats and high five!! @runningmischka - thank you for saying you were done with the weather...you NEVER complain so it was so validating to hear that you've had it too!! I try to be positive about the winter (to prevent insanity living in Maine) but I am so ready for these snow…

@skippygirlsmom - I am having runner's envy right now...64??!! Tank top??!! That sounds absolutely, 100%, AWESOME!!! Glad you were able to take advantage before the winter weather moved back in!
-
Yeah!!! And better a little tight than a little loose. I definitely have a pair that wanders southward often taking my underwear with them until I get sweaty enough to hold them in place. You don't need that!! Sounds great!! And I think a number of sports psychologists would absolutely say it works that way!!! I read a…
