Maureen0131, I hope your knee is better? You know, a bunch of my coworkers are running in that race, but I can't do it. There were also talking about the Turkey Trot, but I'll be out of town otherwise, I might've done that one. Someone mentioned the Santa Run at Cedar Pt. I'm from Sandusky, so I'll to look into that one. Not sure...

Thanks so much! I've been in recovery mode (ok, lazy mode!) this week, but I'm going run this weekend. Weather in Cleveland is supposed to be sunny and above freezing. Yay!

AlmightyD,

Good for you!! I think all of you guys who time yourselves are so brave. Each week, I tried to finish before they closed the track for the night! LOL!

Thanks, Maureen0131! Making some new friends is the best part of this running experience. Now when we see each other in the halls, we say "Hey runner!" Great feeling. I didn't hear about that run in Lakewood? I'll ask my team about it.

hello fellow penguins!

i just completed my first 5k this morning. i did it. i was the very last runner to cross the line, but it's ok, i finished. i completed a C25K program last week and it was a fantastic experience. not sure if i'll do another 5k, but i'll try shorter distances until i build my endurance up a bit more. just wanted to encourage everyone to run your own race.

peace, shelly

Thanks, Nicolette78! I did it! It was not easy at all, but I made it through with the help of my friends!

Hello everyone!

I completed my first 5K this morning so this officially ended my company's C25K program for Sept. I can't believe I really did it. It was so hard. but the setting was beautiful. Not sure how many Clevelanders are on this space, but we ran at Edgewater Park, right on the lakeshore. Although I really struggled to get over a sinister hill and my feet went numb, I enjoyed the overall experience. My teammates were incredible and I recovered very well. I didn't pass out. I'm so glad everyone was there to support a great cause...a shelter for homeless teens. Anyway, thanks for all the support! You guys are great. Remember to run your own race! I'll probably stick to shorter distances in the future until I can increase my endurance level. I tell you, being lapped by walkers, a lady pushing a stroller, little kids, and people w/dogs is humbling! Although, an English bulldog gave up early! LOL!

peace, shelly

Hey there! Thanks. I did it!! It was SOO hard and I had zero fun! lol. I was the very last runner, but I did not care - I crossed that line running which was my goal. What a day! I never experienced such kindness and support from total strangers. I was struggling yet just about everyone who lapped me encouraged me to keep going. And...ok, trying not to cry...my entire team including our running coach who'd already finished, kept me company on the last half mile. It was really amazing.
