Hi everyone. Can I join the party? I joined 3FC several months ago then never really posted much. I've been running for a little over a year. Getting ready for my second half marathon on September 8. Last years time was 2:39. . Trying to do 2:29 this year. I don't run a lot of races, but I like to run.
Ran 11 miles yesterday and 8 tonight. Feeling pretty good. Hoping to find friends and support here
KaiE please do welcome,some run most everyday some of us are nursing injury or unrelated problems but most check in daily.Cant wait to hear about your 1/2.
I'm in the middle of ''omg it's tapering time and I feel the worst ever''. I have a race on Saturday and I am scared to death. I ran my last run before the race last night with the feeling of going fast and after looking at my watch when I was done, meeeeeh, wasn't so fast after all LOL
Bonus : I'm pretty sure I ate 2-3 mosquitos during this run. ... proteins, I guess? LOL
Ok I can tell that I love running now...
I have an awful cold right now and I'm P.O.ed because I can't run. I even considered it even though I have a splitting headache and can't breathe through my nose very well
Just wanted to get in some good mileage before my race in two weeks
Hi all glad to see ya all here running taking a couple more days off ,company and a lot of pain in both feet .Getting mt weight workouts in and a bit of aerobics..but man I crave running! Doctors appt is Mon keeping my toes crossed that he will have a soul option SOON!
Welcome Kal - that's a great half time! What's the date of your next one? Mine is Oct. 13th!
Welcome back turbo! What/when is your next race? Your ticker says June but is it another half in Aug/Sept?
SEVEN miles yesterday!!!!!!!!! Wohoo lol - I haven't gotten over 6 miles in 3 months since I scaled back for my injury after my last half. I'm so happy - foot wasn't great but I managed - I think I'll be ok for this next half - first time I've felt that way!
lm3898 : Yeah my ticker isnt really up to date OOOOPS! I had a race last weekend actually!

Did my half race last weekend... It was hard. There was massiveeeee hills, I had to walk a little bit after getting the worst ... I think you call it stich? in english? EVER. It was the first time I had to walk for this reason in a race.. and all of this around the 11km, when you still have almost half the race too go! It kinda killed my mojo and I did not PR. At least it wasn't my worst time ever. I finished in 2;11;08 (yeah I'm a slow runner hehe), exactly 4 minutes slower than my PR in June. Ohh well. There is always another race!
I am also running a 1/2 this weekend. I've only run one other 1/2, and my Garmin showed it very short - close to 1/2 mile short, so I kind of feel like this will be my first "real" 1/2!
Still battling Achilles Tendonitis, but I ran 6 yesterday and am not hurting too awful much today - I have foam rolling like a maniac and I believe that is really helping!
Got MRI results it is lumbar thing so off to LA again to she a neurosurgeon and see what he has to say,some bulging and narrowing talk in a couple areas seems that is what is causing feet and leg pains....
Upside pup and I ran 4 1/2 miles yesterday and did 1 1/2 of weights at least it helps me feel normal! Taking a small trip by myself to go see sis and family for a couple days no exercise.
. Trying to do 2:29 this year. I don't run a lot of races, but I like to run.
