Finally back on track with my running. I started slacking off and overeating. It was a slippery slope and the scale crept up.

I'm happy to say I ran 4 miles on Thursday (in 44 minutes), 4 miles on Friday (in 40 minutes!) and today slogged through 2 miles in 26 minutes, lol. The run today was more for my mind than my body. I wanted to be on the road.

I'm going on vacation next week & had decided to do no running. But I will pack some running gear in case I have free hour to get out and enjoy the solitude.

Well I am doing so crappy this month. Ended up taking 2 weeks off to goof off. I was trying to get back to it this month but now I'm sick lol I managed to do 3 miles today but I'm doing miserable for the month, only 24 miles! My goal is at least 50. Oh well.

Hey guys! It has been a while! Just wanted to post that the humidity here is not helping my running, but I managed a fast six with the running group yesterday and a very slow, very steamy (in a bad way) 11 today. Luckily, the half marathon is next Sunday, along with good friends and good food. Should be a nice vacation!

Keep up the good work everyone!

ok, I am peeing my pants laughing at the course "outline" for the new Nashville Women's Half-Marathon. Could that possibly be an accident.

You have to look it up yourself because I think a mod would slap me if I provided the actual link. But it is a real race. Sponsored by a major magazine.

Ennay, it took me a minute but I got it.

Umm, how do I explain this delicately.

The course is long and straight in the middle, semicircles at ends. Look at the course from left to right. It's outlined in red, not blue.

I think it's completely accidental because the course is so complex.

Haha, funny though.

The complexity is why I think it is NOT accidental.

Being an all woman's race makes it that much more fantastic. Good times.

The astounding thing is, how did they get the elevation profile for all 13 miles but the map is, erm, incomplete?

And that would be a crazy course, for sure.

I ran the Indianapolis Mini Marathon May 8th. I semi trained for it but I was definitely not as prepared as I should have been! It's definitely mental. I too wish the took out mile 7 and 8 - those are the miles on the Indianapolis Speedway! I'm having trouble getting back into running now that I've had my goal of running my 1/2 marathon. Any ideas?

Fat, you are missing it.
Mile 7 and 8 are there. It goes mi 6, down to a turnaround (mi 7) then you turn around and mi 6 becomes mi 8, then mi 9.

Whats really going on is that the course (in red) looks lik the outline of a certain part of the male anatomy
