Thanks so much! I'm through the first article, and will have my homework cut out for me this week :). I love it that you are so helpful!

Thank you, @ThickMcRunFast, for taking the time to put this all together. I have gleaned some helpful stuff here! @Bl_coleman I have very wide feet with over-developed arches, and since 9th grade I have been faithful to the Saucony brand of running shoes. They have wide widths available, and sometimes I'll even get Men's…

Thanks for clarifying, you are very helpful!

Thanks, guys. @Stoshew71 aren't fartleks considered speedwork? Or are they ok to work in during your first year of building your aerobic base? I'm super scared of getting any injuries...can you tell? :*

@mwyvr your pup is so stinkin' adorable! I love all the hope & desire in those big brown eyes. How could couch time ever win over that?!? Come on, @shanaber, & @skippygirlsmom, I think we're calling an impromptu show off your 4 legged running partner day! We need some of your doggie cuteness posted, too!! @davetheperson…

Buahahahaha! @cathyjones08 I saw some racers wearing belts with tiny little water bottles attached to them when I ran my race, and I would have killed to have one of those because in the heat the thing that gives me the best relief is pouring water on my scalp & down the back of my neck. I'm definitely hunting one of those…

Well, things didn't work out with Forrest Gump :( He wasn't well socialized - he had all his training in his 1st 4 months & has basically been a shut in since. My fiance is so gentle & calm, but every time he moved Forrest growled at him. Then our 12 year old daughter tried to stand up & he growled at her. Our other 2 dogs…

Your fear is not irrational. My sister was attacked and barely survived being raped on a run alone 3 years ago. You have been given some good advice here, and some I'd flush down a toilet, never to be seen again. I have never felt safe running alone since she was attacked. Here are some valuable things Law Enforcement told…

I was in your place back in December. I second the good, quality shoes advice. If you go to a running shoe store, and if the staff is knowledgeable, they can assess your gait/stride & give you recommendations on various brands. Also, don't expect too much out of yourself at once. I started out running a block, walking 2,…

I am meeting a potential new running partner tonight. He is a super cute 1 year old shephard/lab mix named Forrest Gump (LOL, I pledge to start each run declaring 'Run, Forrest!' if it works out). He is being re-homed due to a move. He has gone through all obedience classes up to advanced, and has earned his Canine Good…

@Pandora_and_her_box how is it coming along this month? I KNOW you can do it!!! @skippygirlsmom avoiding a loose pit is always the best course of action - good instincts! I once had one run up & put her hot slobbery jaws on my Pug/Jack Russell's back, I just barely managed to yank my dog's leash hard enough to rip her away…

I'm in Spokane, Wa, & am in need of a running partner(s) as I can't stand street running. I love trails but don't feel safe doing it alone. I've asked everyone I know to be my accountability partner & go on trail runs, but nobody seems as determined (or insane) enough to make it happen. I'm now considering adopting a…

@skippygirlsmom that is so great you get to race with your beautiful daughter! What an awesome legacy you have given her. @Ohhim congratulations on your amazing time!!! Today was my first organized race since track in High School. I did Bloomsday in 1hr, 11 min (7.46 miles). I'm pretty happy since my goal was at least 1:12…

@briebee7 I just want to say you marathon runners are truly an inspiration and I love reading about your experiences! I'm sorry to hear about that calf. I don't run many miles & struggle with calf tightness often. I did finally try that Yoga video for tight shins/calves in the group page & found a lot of relief with it.…

I'm shooting for 116.2 in May. I'm feeling like I have my sassy pants on since I met my April Goal (it only took me 3 months to meet one, LOL) Bloomsday is this Sunday in Spokane, WA. Anyone else going to be there? I'm getting nervous...

I did it! I did it!! I met my goal!!! Bloomsday is on Sunday, and I don't want to add any more miles to my week, so I'll be Yoga-ing-it til the race :). 4/29 2.34 miles – Pace 11:00 4/27 5.8 miles – Pace 10:38 4/26 9 miles – Pace 10:00 4/25 8.71 miles – Pace 9:45 4/20 8.44 miles – Pace 10:42 miles 4/19 5 miles Doomsday…

9 miles today for a new longest distance ever for me. My pace was 10:00. It wasn't easy to do it on less than fresh legs, at 5.4 miles I hit a wall that made each foot I was able to put in front of the last one a miracle! But I am so grateful for my new chiropractor & massage therapist. They have me doing a lot of physical…

Sorry, duplicate post.

Today I did my longest run ever: 8.71 miles with a pace of 9:45. Total:67.03, 16.97 to go. Oh man, it's so close, I can almost taste it ~the elusive ACTUAL reaching my monthly running goal~
