Guess how far I ran today?

No really.... guess!

Did you guess 3 miles? You would be correct!!!!

Clearly I should up my mileage one of these months.

SM - Good luck at the Half, I'm sure you'll do great! I love biking also, though I have no desire to climb hills until I faint. I'm not that masochistic, lol!

Midwife -- aren't you training for a half right now? I thought you runs were getting longer there for a while!

+ 5.25 mile run this morning...

My plans for the half and/or a full have died. I just can't (ok, won't) scrape out the time for the training. I feel like I am treading water in my life and doing good to keep my face out of water....Le sigh.

SM!! Great to see you!!!
Good luck!!!

Okay, I am considering 3.5....do I need to carb load? Run with carb gels? Hide water bottles on the route? I will map out a 4 mile run for tomorrow! Yeah!

no rush midwife, when you really want to do a half you will find the time.

Midwife - I had to drop my vision of a half as well, as I also never found time to even start training for it. I'm thinking Ennay is right - when we really want to do it we will make the time. sorry things are hectic for you right now!

+2.35 this morning

I did a half last fall and lived to tell the tale. This summer has been way busier though. You guys are right though....when it is time, it will happen. Always seasons in life. My motto is "I can do ANYthing, but not EVERYthing."

Miles are miles! Come on dear...you know it's not about rules and regulations around here....just get up and MOVE!!! Heck...if I had my way I'd give you some *extra credit-bonus mile* just for attitude!

SM I hope the trip to SF was outstanding for you!

LADIES....Angie had started back running again, wanting to do the Rock and Roll marathon next year with my daughter...or at least the half....she told me this morning she just can't continue....same old story, her knees...so it's back to walking for her.

Angie and I got in 3 this morning with the spoiled brats.

310/1000 MILES

+ 3.10 mile run this morning.

EZ - Can she walk the half or the full, I think that would as much fun as running it (maybe more, you can carry a beer without sloshing it)...
