Good job Cherry! I agree the cooler weather helped SO much with the run - I love ideal conditions!

Deva - when can you start running again??

Turbo - GOOD LUCK!! I'm still training for my first 1/2 in Sept. so you'll have to let me know how it goes & if you were happy with your training plan!


Did 5.2 miles in 43:36. My legs, arms, shins etc. felt great [right foot started to fall asleep] but joint-wise etc. it felt like a great run! The only issue was my breathing- it was really TIGHT despite my inhaler puff I always do pre-run: it almost felt like it did when I used smoke and try to run...not 100% sure why...maybe I'm having more allergy problems than I thought...regardless I pushed though & am happy with the final time esp. as it included two hills.

Everyone planning on running during the upcoming heat wave that's about to start - good luck! Stay cool & hydrated whenever possible!

Nothing to it IM, just start a new thread each month and check in as often as you can to keep people motivated to participate

Well, I do really like this thread - is there anyone on here that wants to do it??

If there isn't anyone else willing to do so, I'm down for the cause...any other takers?

Go for it lm! Be our leader )

As for me running I am waiting for my ankles to quit hurting,massage therapist said it was an irrataited achilles so I am taking it slow......I have a run on july 4th so we will see.

got my last training done this morning, 6k in 40min21sec. Half is just 2 days away!

Deva - I'm so sorry you are having all these ailments - that sounds absolutely terrible. I hope you are ok in time for your race & take it easy in the meantime!

Turbo - you seem really ready for your first half - I can't wait to see how it goes.

Thanks for the kind words ladies - I'll start the July blog on Sunday & we can see how it goes - if at any time, anyone has a strong desire to take over, that's totally fine w/ me too though. I'm excited!

Woke up at 4:45 a.m. today and could not fall back asleep [I usually wake up at 6:30] so I decided to put it to good use and went for a run at 5:30 a.m. I forgot how nice out it is in the morning - so quiet and such great weather. Got in 4.3 miles in 35:29.

3.4 miles with the BF as my running buddy last night. I didn't walk at all. I know if I were by myself I would have. Proof that it's MENTAL and I can do better!!!

Well got test back it something called H Pylori....and it sucks it is really painful...and I used to think I had a pretty high tolarence. Hopefully it will improve ...on 2 kinds of antibiotic 2,000mg a day and Omeprazole 40 mg a day. for 2 weeks. I have been in continuous pain since 5pm yesterday.. have company and have to leave for family reuion tonite. Hope it lets UP!!!!
Can not even cross train HURTS.. PULL UP THE BIG GIRL PANTIES AND MOVE ON!!

Sorry did not want to make everyone quit posting;[
