Once I started running, it felt much better. Took it at an easy pace. Foot…

@AlphaHowls - Sorry about the poison ivy.

I forgot that when you miss a day you are behind 4 pages of posts! 08/01 - 2.55 miles 08/02 - Rest Day 08/03 - 2.44 miles I quickly realized why I typically run mornings last night. I ran at 5 pm while daughter was at an appointment. It was 92 degrees with 42% humidity and dew point was 66. I felt horrible! Run actually…

@Elise4270 - So sorry about your son. I have decided to jump back on the monthly challenge after taking a break. I would occasionally jump on here and lurk but not post. I have kept up with some of you on Facebook. This month is full of new beginnings for me. I start a 6 week pretraining plan for a half marathon in…

@PastorVincent - Thanks! @zamirasoni - Current projections have us on the East side of the landfall of the storm, but the East side usually has higher rain fall and with that comes possibility of flooding. The Mississippi River in New Orleans is projected to reach 20.0 feet on Sunday - the highest is has ever been. The…

My current state of preparation:

Welcome @zamirasoni If you run, then you are a runner!

You can call me a newbie but oldie! After about a year hiatus -I am back on the MFP forums. I have been following some of you on the Facebook group page. Monthly Goal: 25 miles. I will be on vacation one week in July and I am not sure if I will get in any miles that week. Did you set a goal for this year? Are you half way…

@PastorVincent - Thanks needed this today! I have a 7 miler that I am totally unprepared for this Saturday! 10/01 -3.49 miles 10/07- 3.45 miles 10/08 -4.51 miles Total: 11.45/50 miles Today's run was 73 degrees at the start, 95% humidity and 71 Dew Point. Apparently it rained enough overnight for the road to be wet but not…

Hey ya'll. I have been on hiatus for about two months due to lots of changes and travel at work. I have read through all the October posts so far and I hope I can keep up the rest of October! Work is always busy for us during September and October. Hubby is still working lots of overnights, lots of excuses to why I haven't…

08/06 - 3.44 miles 08/13 - 4.43 miles 08/15 - 2.67 miles Total: 10.54/50 miles Today's run was cut short due to GI issues. Planned 4.0 turned into 2.67 miles with a 5 minute walk warm-up. GU's - I do not eat before I run in the mornings, but will eat a banana or a piece of toast before a race. I have to consume these at…

08/06 - 3.44 miles 08/13 - 4.43 miles Total: 7.87/50 miles As of this morning, I am caught up with this thread! August has been a busy month - kids starting school and my husband working crazy hours. He is in IT and all the updates the are doing to software programming are taking place over night. He has to be there in…

I am back for August. Late to the party, but here. My husband decided to take an out of state training trip last week of July, leaving me with the kids and orientations at schools. So, I only finished July with 36 miles. I am going to set goal of 50 miles in August and stretch goal of 60 miles. All caught up on the thread…

@amymoreorless - Her user name was JuliaMacEwan I do not think the intent was to scare her off - just to warn her that much mileage and being a nonrunner would not be a good combination. It would possibly lead to injury. Most of us are hoping it was a typo and she meant 16 miles, not 160 miles.

I was a don't wear a watch girl until I got my Garmin. I got the Forerunner 235 because it has a little more information than just time and distance, such as splits and elevation. Like what @Elise4270 said - I like it because I can get phone notifications when I am at work and since I am wearing it I can go out at anytime…

I started with a C25K app, then 5Kto10K app, then Nike +. then Garmin Connect and Strava. I have RunKeeper also but I don't think I ever logged a run in the app. I think each person has their own preference and reason for which app or apps they use. There is a Strava group for MFP Monthly Running Challenge folks. I think…

@shanaber - I haven't tried KT tape for the PF. I did watch a couple of videos on YouTube on how to apply it to the ankle for PF, but I am scared if applied incorrectly it might do more damage than help. When the PF first started, my foot was in pain all day and hurt to walk. Now, it seems like it only flaes up when I run.…

@skippygirlsmom - Prayers and good thoughts for Skip!

I like the shorts sold by Gypsy Runner. She only ships in the United States.

Not 100% sure but I think @7lenny7 usually is sailing in the summer months. I believe he focuses on that and not running.

@katiebug3268 - Welcome. I have ran the half marathon for St Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend 4 times. This year I am running the 10K - mainly because there are some bucket list races I want to do in my home state that I can't do while training for a half marathon. I am concerned that you are a new to running and are…

Way behind on miles for this month. I actually moved my alarm…
