Chuck, I don't have asthma but my wife and son both have a severe case. I am a certified asthma educator, one of the many hats that I wear as a respiratory care educator.

Stan, you have asthma also, I do to. Don't talk about it much. I've not had a whole lot of problum with it , mainly when I push the pace I cough a lot afterwards.

Hopper31. I just found your thread on asthma, those guys don't have it obviously. Below 50 and a cold air causes me to cough when I get done. It does get better when I'm not pushing the pase as I'm not breathing as hard , more normal so I don't have as much problum. They make a under armor shirt I wear under my running shirt when the wind gets chilly to my chest. I'm from Florida so I know what ya mean when you say 50 is cold. It is to us and it's a wet cold so it goes through ya. Welcome , hope we make you feal at ease and welcome. We have people running their first Half and people who runs one every Month so pipe in you'll find some very helpful and nice folks here.

thanks for the warm welcome. yes, im trying the 1/2. ive done 5ks this year (walked them last year) and have been increasing mileage and long runs since summer. have been on the training schedule suggested by coolrunning, with some changes. (due to the fact that i have children/husband whose schedules i must follow first...). tomorrow i am up for 10. will be running on a trail...fun i think, because i love to hike. did 11 earlier this month, loved it.

hope you all get well soon--love is a battlefield, and we all love to run...haha

Nice to meet you also misswendy and welcome. A lot of nice runners and very good advice in this thread so pipe up often.

Wbertha, I want to do just upper body also mainly to help loose some of this baby fat I've gained.lol. Which by the way I've lost 4 lbs this week.

Good evening gang, a very windy 5 miler last night. The cold front came in the 2nd mile. I thinking that maybe running into a head wind might be a substitute for hills. Rest today.

Marilyn- great job on the body fat! I am guessing that the people around you every day are seeing your drastic changes.

Monnik- take all of those bad and not so bad runs and turn them into one fantastic run!

Good running
Stan

post below to this week...

OK - so I have my right knee wrapped today for support - no real "pain" - just soreness & feels a bit unstable...so, thankfully today is rest day - planning to rest again tomorrow - then hopefully run again Tuesday a.m.

Hope everybody else has a better start to the running week!

Laurel

Below is

Monnik's

post (originally posted on last week's thread)...
Gotta run (not really) so no time for shoutouts...

Hey everyone! It's Sunday morning and I had an icky day yesterday.

I started out ok, ate a nice healthy bowl of oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, I putzed around the house for a while, and then got ready for my long run. I hopped on that TM and knew from the start that it wasn't going to be a good run. My ankle was bugging me and that stupid hip twinge that I've been a bit worried about came back. But most of all, my legs were just really heavy and didn't want to run... I only got 1.9 miles in.

I'm going to rest them today - do a 3 mile walk, but no running, and get back to my schedule tomorrow. I'm irritated with myself for being lazy on Wednesday, because since I made up my Wed. run on Friday, I think three days in a row wasn't great for my legs or hip. I'm just not quite ready for 3 days in a row I guess.

Laurel, I'm not sure what the answers to your questions are, but based on my experience, I've decided to make sure to have a rest day before my long runs from now on. I think if stamina becomes an issue, if you can finish the run even while taking walking breaks, then that seems like the best thing (in my opinion).

Jules, i'm so glad to find another person who loves the TM too! I still try to get outside once a week so that I can run with my daughter and so I can continue to train a bit on pavement.

Chuck - what kind of car? Are you getting a convertible? I am so jealous! My 4 year old daughter keeps begging me to buy 'one of those cool cars with no ceilings'... But in Iowa, they're not very practical... Sorry about the puppies... !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|border=0!

Peg, you feeling better today? Hope today's a good one for you.

Wbertha, where do you live? You got to run a 1/2 in Green Bay and you're a Pack fan, so are you in the midwest?

Joe, how was your six miles?

Cara, did you enjoy the movie with your husband?

Well, My kids are begging for breakfast. How dare they want to be fed? I should get going.

Good Morning! Rest day today... may have to catch the Colts vs. Pats game at the sports bar.... Cowboys on Sunday night!

Chuck43 - Thanks for starting our thread this morning! You out running yet? Sounds like "your" dogs are doing well! Your Gators won! My Aggies got crushed...

Peg - See, I wasn't lying about them running shorts! And stay here in TX, where anyday can be no panty day! LOL

Laurel - Have a great rest day! Oh and check Peg's profile, it has her email address.

Spicegeek - Hey, where you been girl! Thanks for checking in! Hope your MRI results turn out positive... or is that negative!? Well you know what I mean!
