Hey everyone. Only a few more weeks left on this shift. I'm going to run 3 tonight. I've got a head lamp and a vest so I should be fine, have to watch out for Deer, and the Drunk Rednecks but other than that I should be fine. LOL.

Hey all,

Simon, how did the 15 feel? I don't know if I can go that far before the race. Good for you.

Jeep, good job on the 4.

Heather, welcome to the group. I would just do the last 2 weeks over again.

Chuck, becareful of the drunk rednecks and the deer. Enjoy your night run.

Hey everyone...

Glad to hear everyone is doing great and welcome to the new folks!

I got out and did 3.6 tonight...felt slow, legs heavy, back tight, muscles sore but I didn't stop and felt ok at the end...thinking some ice tonight might help and some meds...not sure what I plan for tomorrow, either rest or another slow run, maybe 4 depending on how I feel in the morning...

Oh, got my Road ID today...love it...if anyone needs $1 off code, let me know, I have two that I won't use (thanks again spicegeek!)

Have a great night everyone...

I got my road ID today too! Was a very good idea and I really should have gotten one a few months ago.
I am watching the World Track and Field championship right now on tv - I can't believe how fast they run and how long their strides are...mines still a bit of a shuffle. Trying to look at the different running forms, they are actually all very different...I was always of the thought that there was an ideal running form and that professionals probably all practiced it, but I am not seeing it here.
So my husband (who is not a runner) has decided to run the Witch City 5k with me in October in Salem Mass. I am trying to be supportive and let him make his own decisions, but to give him gentle help with form and pace. We did a little half mile jog today on our walk and he said he felt fine. I am actually secretly excited and really hope he decides to give running a try so that I can have a running partner - what better running partner to have than your life partner! But like I said, I am not going to be pushy and let him decide if he likes it or not.
Anyway, looking forward to my morning run - the humidity has dropped some and my hydration pack is ready to roll.

Good evening Halfers, just thought I would check in and catch up. I did manage to squeeze in 2.8 this week end. Today I had a tough time with 2.7, this was supposed to be a recovery week. Maybe it will get better.

I am impressed with you 12 milers. My plan calls for a 14 mile two weeks before the HM. To date my longest is 7.

Peg- great pictures!

Creative1- good luck with your recovery before the HM, I hope it goes well.

Alexbobalex- I am addicted to my fuel belt, I don?t run without it.

Toots- 2 goals accomplished, congratulations!

Gale- I do occasionally run holding a towel to keep the sweat out of my eyes. A bottle is to much for me.

Heatherb- welcome, this is a great group. I am going to do a couple of recovery week leading up to the HM.

Good Running!
