Ok...sorry it's late and in all honesty I hesitated because of the other August running/walking/jogging thread...I wasn't sure if we needed two. But I've been doing this thread since January and in honor of those who did it before me here it is!
I'm not sure if we should specialize in something since there is the other thread or not - either way EVERYONE is welcome! I don't care if you run 1/4 of a mile or a marathon, if you're slow or training for speed - we are all runners and we are all here to support each other!
A little mid year recap about me. I've been running since January of 2010 - started around 180 lbs couldn't even run a mile. On August 14th I'll be running my second half marathon and last Sunday I ran my longest run ever of 15 miles!
It was a really good run, everything I wanted it to be. It was hot and humid and I rocked it! I ran out of water but was smart enough to stop in at one of the gatehouses to one of the country clubs and fill up - thank G*d they had water, the first one I stopped at actually didn't. My legs and knees did great and I felt really good the rest of the day.
Unfortunately, at the end of the run I couldn't image running for another 11.2 miles so I've put the full marathon on the shelf for a little while. I think I'll be signing up for the Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon in December - once I stop crying over the $140 reg fee
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and having some memorable runs - happy running!
