Got in 7 this morning in a foggy misty rain and tons of leaves! Absolutely Awesome! 32 total so far

I am planning on running a nice long run that morning and eating whatever I want!

I am SO behind! I got in 5 this morning and am anxious to make up some ground this week. I have had a very sick boxer who I am tending to, so any running time has had to be put on hold for my girl! Total = 25

Got in 7 yesterday and another 4 today! Total of 20 so far!

Oh my God, your post broke my heart. I totally understand your pain and hope your heart is mending. Please Please with all of that love, get another dog to dote and love on. It will do you wonders!!

I am in again too! I was glad to see you were in charge of this task Cooriander!! Got the month off to a good start with 9 today! I am aiming for 100 and will get my ticker done before the evening is over! Raring to GO!!!

The same day as my long runs, I am not very hungry. I come home, stretch out for 10 min or so and then off to a hot shower. I make myself eat something, usually filled with carbs and protein and YES i am a wine drinker. I normally will have a gallon or so of water, which I am sure contributes to no appetite. I will usually…

Not going to make it, but am ready to go for November! Congratulations to all who accomplished 100 miles and exceeded!

Got in 5 on Wednesday and 7 today. I have 18 left for 3 days!

Not a 'sweets' person, but I do like the caramels with the creme in the middle and I love frozen Andes mints!

Way to go on such distance in so little time! I have been running since April and now run somewhere between 20-30 miles a week.

I'll lighten this up a bit with a different sort of motivation. I LOVE being the one still running another lap (lap= 2-3 miles depending on where I am running.) The ones I am passing, who have stopped running, walking or gotten off the trail are ALL smaller than me. That is my motivation.....I maybe 165 pounds but I can…

I have the same problem, except I have to wash my hair everyday, if not twice a day. My hair is super thick and after my runs, i don't have a dry hair left on my head, so 'not washing' is not an option. During the warmer months I don't have to blow dry if I don't have to go to work or in the evenings, but now that it is…

True runners don't insult other runners. We are a cohesive pack. Sounds to me like they were wanna-be's shopping at a running store for athletic gear. Don't you dare feel bad...I too, can't wait until I can put that sticker on my car!

bump for later

Ran 9 miles, walked 1! Great day!

Got in 10 this morning and it was awesome! That should put a good dent in my remainder! Keep at it everyone!

Love love your determination! Running in circles in your basement shows your focus and determination! You look fantastic and should be really proud! cheers!

I got in 8 on Thursday and 5 yesterday. Will have to play catch up, but I am determined!

Just give me some ice and olives!!

I was SO glad to see this thread! I googled this topic for an hour last night. I ran yesterday in 50' degree weather with 17 mph winds. I wore long loose jogging pants and that part of me was fine, no worries during my run or after. I wore a long sleeve Prospirit 'tech' shirt, but had to have another layer on. So I put on…

Awesome advice with the inhaler and yes, it is albuterol. I have not had a full blown asthma attack in years, so I am not worried about that. My biggest concern is bronchitis and I are good friends in the winter and sometimes we invite pneumonia to the party! (And that is without running) I would be so excited if my lungs…

I am thinking maybe a 'gator' to pull up around my mouth and nose! I never thought about that! I wish it was 'just' a burning sensation in my lungs, but for me its a very tight feeling and slight wheezing. I am off again today to try again! Thanks guys!

When my stepdaughter decided at 18 to join the Air Force, we were surprised as it was not the path we thought she would go down. I could not be more pleased with her decision! The opportunity is amazing and she is in France now, with a new husband and newborn baby 3 years later. Do what is in your heart and you will be…

Dont' think about what you 'haven't lost!' Look at how completely different you look and feel now. You totally look like you lost way more than you have! Excellent job and what a great outlook! Cheers!

I talk about this all the time, because the first mile for me of ANY run sucks! For me, its not about the breathing, but my legs and feet 'getting into the groove.' My shins and toes rebel for the first 10 minutes:) After that I am good to go and fine for the remainder!

Wow, excellent responses and some great suggestions to try! Thanks so much for sharing your personal how-to's. I want to run a half marathon soon, so I am convinced this is going to help spur me foward! My challenge is now going to be how/where to carry stuff. I am thinking those GU chomps seem like a great idea, so maybe…

I totally have the same problem! On my days I exercise I am just not hungry and don't have much of an appetite. However the next day, I am absolutely ravenous and cannot get enough food in my mouth!

Got in 6.5 this evening and almost halfway there. Will have to make up the deficit next week! Have a good weekend all!

Sounds excellent. I love cilantro..thanks!
