Hi all!! Sorry once again for the delay - I was in Phoenix running a half marathon followed by an awesome vacation in Sedona until I got strept throat...just wanted to jump on and get the blog going and I'll be sure to fill everyone in on my awesommmmmmmmmmmmme half later tonight.

IM 38 thanks for starting thread can't wait to here about your 1/2!! So sorry to hear about the strep yuck! I am living vicarious through all of you....Thank You

It's finally going to be 50ish degrees on Sunday so I'm going for a run! In 2010, I did Couch to 5K and ran a couple 5Ks, but for a variety of (lame) reasons I quit running.

I'm so excited to start again! And my SIL and my BFF are joining me....awesomeness. We - and my running buddies from 2010 - are planning to do the Color Run in June.

Today I walk/jogged 5K on the treadmill. My furthest distance ever. Last time I noticed I stopped at 2.4 miles and I was like "hey, if I can do 2.4, I can do 3.1" so today I just kept going. Made it in 48 mins. Slow, but I made it!

You reminded me of the joke - Can February march? No, but April may!

Have fun running!

Tabbycat here.

I'm in the March Exercise Challenge (Chicks Up for Challenge board) to run 30 miles. It's a modest goal, but I'm 57 and just took up running last spring. I have two neighborhood routes mapped out... a two-mile and a three-mile. I have orchestra practices three times a week and I teach school, so I don't run every day.

Today I did a 5K fun run. My goal was to trot the whole thing without walking and to finish in under 38 minutes. My chip time was 37:44. That's not quite as good as the 5K I did in January, but better than the ones in October and December.

Tabby at Welcome I am almost 61 and normally run several times a week 3 to 6 miles each time. But have had a recuperating dog for 5 weeks he has about 5 weeks left we have to be with him all the time. Soooo please log in I am living through you all
Meanwhile I am doing lots of cardio and weights

13.12 miles on an indoor track....I know it was indoor but I still think it counts....Half marathon is on 4/20...I get to go back to outdoors running this week

I haven't run since my half marathon on the 24th. I'm gonna head out for an easy run tomorrow. I'm scared.

Nikel - How did your run go?

Freerun - OF COURSE it counts! How did you not get bored out of your skull though??

I ran 13.11 this morning in a time of 1:48:24. I guess I should sign up for a 1/2 and challenge myself!

I freakin' LOVE running!

Went out for the first run of the season...and my first run since 2010!...today. I was "only" able to do a quarter mile at a stretch and then had to walk for a bit. BUT my first run doing Couch to 5K back in 2010 I wasn't even able to run for 60 seconds...and I couldn't complete the 20 minute workout. I'm thrilled that I haven't regressed as dreadfully as I feared I had. I can't wait to see how quickly I can get back up to being able to do 3 miles.

Well so much for getting a run in today. I woke up to the sounds of a puking kiddo. We're already dealing with strep & pneumonia. Looks like tomorrow wil be back to the Dr, so Tues will be the day for my first post half run.

Hi everyone!! Back to the land of the living!! I had my BEST half yet in Az last Saturday - it started out perf temps and still darkish 6:30 a.m. 58 degrees. Was about 70ish when I finished but that was nothing [poor hubby did his first full marathon and when he finished it was nearly 85 people were passing out at the finish]. I beat my former personal best by EIGHT minutes!! 1 hr 56 min!! I had REALLY wanted to beat 2 hrs so I was SO SO happy - it was an easy, mostly level/downhill course so they said it would be a good PR course but still - woohoo!!! Then of course two days later I got strept and have been out of commission. Did my first run since yesterday - easy 5.25 miles went so/so my lungs are not 100% but I'm glad I got out there.

How is everybody doing?? Welcome newbies!

I ran two miles Saturday afternoon. Today my hubby and I are planning on doing another run so I shall log it afterward!

I did my half marathon yesterday and I finished under 3 hours! Wheeeee!

My pace was around 13:17/mile which is great for me. And I only felt like my body was broken around mile 12. And man, I was SORE last night. A lot less sore this morning but overall, just fantastic! YAY!
