Position has been filled! YEAH!!

I would LOVE to join in but i am commited to Ragnar the next weekend and I dont want to do something silly and jeopardize myself for the following weekend. I am so sorry. My sister in law lost her father to MS just 9 months ago and would love to do it for him/her family.

Thank you everyone!! I decided that I agreed that unless i was in the hospital or dead - i had no excuse. And i have to say the whole about the chest thing makes sense - you don't realize it but you really never swallow when running so now i am just dealing with a cough post race from the cold temps but i finished and I…

I just signed up last week to join my friends team for this race. I think it looks like a blast. :) Hope the temps are ok but it is pushing that "hottest week in MN".

GOOD TO KNOW! Thanks

Here is the link: http://thecolorrun.com/minnesota I think it is $40 until 3/15 if i remember right

This used to be my husband for me... would ask how my weigh in went or how my work out went and that made me feel like it didnt' just matter to me, it mattered to him because it mattered to me. Now I have my son and I want to be the best role model for him i can be too. I take him running when i can and will always keep…

YES! they just posted that i think yesterday and i didn't have a chance to come tell you all.

Sounds FUN! Good Luck!

Sorry I didn't make it... too hard to find someone to watch the lil one to break away so hit the gym instead :) Sounds like you were lucky and came out with some new socks!! WTG!

I was wondering what that was all about! So cool! I miss my greyhound ... was fun to see them and so many other doggies running around and barking in warm joy! :) damn cold weather!!!

I made these last weekend and changed to 1 whole egg/2 egg whites to bring down the sodium levels. Still delish!! YUM!

Yes you can walk too! There are several people that either walk/jog or walk only. Was there again last night - a really good crowd of people.

Sorry i can't answer either but this is super helpful to me too! :)

Never far fetched! I was a non-runner, never in sports, always skated by thru physical ed classes... one day i just thought "what if" and did like you walk/jogged a few times. Mentioned to my husband one day that I wished i could run a 5k and he asked me why I couldn't and said, I would only know if i tried... So i did the…

I am happy to support you but not sure that its for me. :)

I am going to keep it on my radar for next year. I just wasn't ready enough this year and I dont jump in unless i am at leaset 75% prepared :) I am so glad you had fun and did so well. NEXT... GET LUCKY! See you there for sure!

GOOD LUCK Saturday!!

i made it tonight!! SOOOO FUN! Thanks!

I will practice today so i can make it there easier tomorrow. :) THANKS!

So total FAIL tonight. I got messed up trying to drive to Gate D and ended up on the freeway. Ended up so frustrated that i just came home. What is the best route to get to that Gate from downtown?? I turned onto Chicago by the light rail... should I drive past that and turn at the next block. SO Frustrated! I will…

\ If you have a comfortable base... like I was running about 3 miles a day 3-4 days a week.. i did a 10-12 week program to train for my first half. If you want to take longer and repeat weeks as you get comfortable maybe add a couple weeks. This is very similar if not the same as the one i used:…

I know about getting any started but I usually use www.active.com to search for races so you could try that as well. How up north are you?

I took the last year off to have a baby. He is 7mo now and i said enough is enough. I find myself looking at the trails and overpasses I used to run and being jealous of the runners that are up there. Having a feelin this would happen i signed up for a half marathon in March (LAST March). My official first training run was…

This might be all too crazy but its what keeps me going. This week is my first training week of the year of RUNNING! WOOP! 3/16/13 Saint Paul, MN Get Lucky Half Marathon 4/6/13 Saint Paul, MN - Lake Phalen Running Opener 10k 5/11/13 White Bear Lake, MN Northern Lakes 10 mile 6/2/13 Minneapolis, MN Minneapolis Half Marathon…

WOW! Thanks, I didnt know either that it started so early. This was a fun one i wanted to try this year. Its a couple weeks after a planned 1/2 and a few weeks before Ragnar but I figure if its more of a fun run - it can't hurt. :) I loved seeing all the Colored people out and about the city after the race last year!…

I was a Fitness 19 member in Maplewood but they are now bought out by LA Fitness also and we are awaiting a new awesome gym for LA in Maplewood by the mall off 694 and WhiteBear Ave. While I am waiting I am either at the previous Fit19 or the Roseville LA off Fairview and County C-ish. I could go to Oakdale LA on the…

That one is still there?!? I thought I heard that LA bought out Ballys but didnt know if there were even Bally locations left. I used to go to the LC Bally before they closed and had to go to the SunRay location... then they closed. So is the location the same? Are they honoring your membership?

I am hoping to go pick up my packet today! AAAAH!! I ran this one in 2011 - it was awesome! I believe it is still my PR half race.

I am here now to lose weight but when i first joined i was here for maintenance while i trained for the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. It was amazing and i highly recommend it! I did all of my training for that outside in different places, at my cabin, the gateway trail, along the river in Saint Paul, in SD on small town…
