Why do I have to ask my husband to do chores around the house? When I walk around my house, several things "scream" at me that they need to be done (clothes in the dryer, dirty dishes, toys on the floor,smudged windows). Why do I have to get up so early to exercise, get ready for the day, etc. when he can roll out of bed…

Thanks for the site. I'll try it out! :happy:

Inspiring posts! I did 5 miles today in the blustery wind. I wish I had a running partner. All my friends live more than 20 miles away or are pregs! Oh well, it gives me some alone time with my music. Happy running all! Lisa

Yay! I finally got back out after the storm that blew through last week. No slick spots and a tolerable 35 degrees. I got 5 miles in. I could tell, though, I hadn't run in a while. Some muscles were a bit sore. I have been doing tae bo and other kickboxing videos during the week so I'm not entirely bumming. Happy running…

I TaeBo'ed today. Midwest winter storm has blasted us. Plus, DH went to the Iowa Hawkeyes game for the weekend. No child care. Trying not to be bitter--he went hunting last week. I am needing a treadmill! I prefer running outside, but a treadmill would be great to have... :grumble:

Did almost five today and it was beautiful! Shorts and a t shirt!!!! In November... Katie--I cried everyday for a week when I took my daughter to daycare for the first time. I cursed my husband for "making" me go back to work, etc, etc. I have come to realize I need some adult "me" time. Hang in there. It does get better!

Luckily, I have avoided Halloween candy. My husband ate most of it! Did a great 4.5 miles today in balmy Iowa weather. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week so I might try to get a run in Tues morning...

Maybe people are racing today? I did a good ol 4.5 miles this morning. My DH went hunting and left at 4:30. I had no childcare and was itching to run. Luckily, my 84 year old grandma, who is awesome, volunteered to watch my kids for an hour. God Bless her. I felt great to have some "me" time. It makes me a less grouchy…

Happy Halloween my fellow spooks. Went out for a great 4.5 mile run this AM. Going to take my 18 month old and 3 year old out for trick or treating this evening. It's supposed to be nice--yay!

Got in over 4.5 miles. Had a terrible case of side aches yesterday. I've never had those before! Don't know why I got them, but they were gone today. Yay! I've never had shin splints either. If I haven't gotten them by now, am I safe?

Did 4.5 miles this morning before the cold rain hit. I love this time of year minus the ickey precip. Will try for five tomorrow. Good luck to all racers this weekend...

Woo hoo teachers! Anyone else counting down until holiday vacations? :happy:

Teach: I went out for my run and just missed the rain (NW Iowa) at 5:30. Did 4.5 miles and headed back, thinking we were getting more. Just dreary today. I was hoping to get outside with the little ones, but it's looking chilly. I am 4/5 time at my school (counselor) so I'm lucky to have Fridays OFF!!!:tongue: Maybe the…

Great time firegirlred! I did a five miler today. It was spitting rain outside, but it didn't seem to bother me. I'll be Shredding Mon-Wed but will be back Thursday through Sunday. Happy running all!

Good luck on your 1/2 marathon. Beautiful crisp morning! I did five miles with no problems. Need to push through that wall sometime and try 7 miles. Don't want to get too comfy!
-
Good luck on your race. I did a great 4.5 miles this morning. But, why oh why does there have to be a bakery on my running route? I almost licked the windows with the gooey, dough-y smells coming out of that evil store!:love:
-
Did four miles this morning. I should have read the posts sooner and went for some chocolate milk!
-
Ran almost four this morning at my IL's. Yay all!
-
Hi! Did 5 1/2 miles this morning. I "slept in" until 6:30 and went out. Nice crisp Iowa day! :happy:

Please do not give PB until 24 months. My daughter is allergic and we didn't know. She had been given PB twice which was enough to activate a reaction. The first exposure doesn't always show the reaction. It's like the body learns to recognize the allergy. I ate PB almost daily while pregnant with my daughter. I don't know…

Did four this morning and plan for five Saturday. I have a nasty blister on the back of my ankle that rubs against my shoes. I hope it goes away. Maybe some time for new shoes...

On my to-do list this week: Buy pepper spray or a T-shirt that advertises that I have a raging STD... Thanks for everyone's kind words. I really feel support from the MFP group!

I live in a rural community in Iowa of 9,000. This has happened a few times while I have run over a 2-3 year period. At first I was scared, then really angry. My DH was livid. My parents live out on a farm a few miles from town and I have run out on the gravel roads as well. Two years ago, a runner was hit and killed by a…

I've seen letters like this written and I figure it's a good way to get my anger out! Dear poo face, I hope you felt good commenting on my butt and what you'd like to do with me while I was running today. I was feeling stoked while running a great Sunday run and minding my own business when you pulled up along side me and…

I'm excited to hear how everyone did on runs this weekend. I did 5 miles of running, 1 of walking. Felt really good. I'm posting a separate thread on what happened during my run today with some harassment. I will tell you, anger makes a good running partner!

Got up and ran. Beautiful crisp fall day in Iowa. Ran 3.5, walked 1, ran 2.5. I think I could have walked less. Part of that walk was devoted to dodging hills of goose poo on the trail. Almost like an obstacle course! Great runs today guys! Seems like I always get a better run in on Saturdays. I'm more relaxed, but also…

Morning! My runs are from Thurs to Sunday. Today I ran 4, walked about 1/2 mile in between. Time to fess up--I had my first flat out, face down fall today! :embarassed: My knees and shoulder are skinned but my pride hurts more. I am proud I got up, walked for a minute, and started running again. Mind you, this was at 5:30…

Good job all. I'm just proud to post my measly 5 miles today! Monday through Wednesday I think I'll be doing the Shred video and walking but I'll be back to running Thurs through Sunday. People in this thread give it their all. I need to be around you over-achievers!

Wow, everyone's pushing their limits today. I did 5 miles! I can't tell you how excited I am. NEVER have done that before. The funny thing is, I started out so crabby and convinced myself I couldn't do it. The first mile was bad, but you hit your stride and keep going. Thanks for letting me post!
