2 cents for Star: I ran my first half in November. I had the same concern when I started my training program. I used the Runner's World Smart Coach. I would recommend following the training as directed. I arrived at the starting line injury free and actually finished 12 minutes faster than my goal finish time. I think it…

Great job everyone! I am SO HOT. And not in a good way...:wink: It is a beautiful sunny and very windy 69 degree day here in NC. I used my Virtual Training Partner on my Garmin to run an easy 30 minutes at 10:45 minute mile pace. <LaLaLaaa> Happy Friday -Kechie.

Thanks Shannon!:flowerforyou: I'm back from a four month "vacation". Unfortunately, my pants shrunk while I was gone. About two weeks ago, I started running every other day again. I figure I'll run every other day until I get back into shape or die!:laugh:

Pat yourselves on the back for getting a run in today! I am resting today. I ran an easy 4 miles yesterday and did a 'sprinting' workout the day before. The sprinting workout was playing a game of rock,scissors, paper slash tag with the 8-10 year olds that I coach. The girls are fast! However, I was only tagged once in the…

Good morning! I ran 4.25 miles this morning in a cold, dark, rain. It was wonderful! Sorry to hear about your foot Bunny.<hugs> Great job everyone! -Kechie.

Thanks Jess! I need to come up with a new goal. My goal was 2:20. However, two weeks ago I ran 13 miles for my long run. I finished in 2:12 and felt great. chat soon -Kechie.

Good morning Jess! Thanks for starting our post. I was scheduled for a tempo run today. Unfortunately, I am going to have to reschedule.:laugh: I ran 4 miles yesterday.:wink: I am running my first half this coming Sunday!:drinker: Enjoy the day everyone :heart: -Kechie.

Good morning:flowerforyou: I have been a little under the weather ever since I ran 12 miles underdressed on Sunday. I was so cold I could not feel my fingers at the end of my run.:noway: I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the week. Try to get 100% before my 5K on Saturday. Enjoy the day -Kechie.

I run before I do anything else! I am not kidding. I run at 5:30 am. Try getting too busy before 5:30 am.:laugh:

You can do it Tricia! Run like someone is chasing you.:noway: (Maybe at the end of the race?) :heart: -Kechie.

You can do it! The support you'll receive on this site will help you! This site has worked for me because I: 1. Ate all of my calories everyday. 2. Set a reasonable goal of 1 pound a week. Some weeks I lost more! 3. Exercise regularly and eat all of my exercise calories at least 4 days a week. 4. Check into the community…

Good afternoon:flowerforyou: Just got home from a 7 mile tempo run. Ran 1 easy paced mile to warm up. Then, ran 5 miles "comfortably hard". Followed by another easy paced mile to cool down. Now I'm enjoying a nice tall glass of low fat chocolate milk!:drinker: I read in Runner's World magazine that low fat chocolate milk…

Hi there Congratulations on your success. I see you've already lost 13 pounds! I am no expert on strength training. I just wanted to post b/c I saw it was your post.:flowerforyou: It has taken me a while to be able to do push ups too. I just keep doing them twice a day. I struggle with consistency. When I am consistent, I…

Good morning:flowerforyou: No run for me today. I was scheduled for an 8 mile tempo run. I could use a day off so I'm taking it.:bigsmile: Enjoy the day -Kechie.

Good morning:flowerforyou: I ran 3.5 miles at an easy pace this morning. It was nice and cool outside! I am loving this weather. Perfect for morning runs. Enjoy the day -Kechie.

Pre-run snacks? Today I tried a Chocolate Brownie Clif Bar. It tasted good and definitely satisfied my hunger. Not too expensive either, my local market had them 4 for $5.

Good morning:flowerforyou: It is so cool here, 66 degrees, I decided to run after carpool this morning. Ahhhh! The crisp cool air. I ran 4 miles at an easy pace today. Since it wasn't dark outside, I got to enjoy the view. Make it a great day! -Kechie.

Wow! Great job on the races!

Good morning:flowerforyou: I ran 5 miles this morning. It is a beautiful morning for running here. Only 59 degrees! I can't wait to hear how the races went yesterday. -Kechie.
