HEY EVERYBODY!
What a great bunch of "virtual" running buddies/friends you all are - it's so helpful to have each other's support - either about running or life.
CHUCK - OUCH! Don't beat yourself up - there's no magic "age" at which we attain peace - this journey is quite a learning process for all of us. Anyone that seems to have it all together is most likely lying to you or to themselves, anyway. That's my two cents...I am very sorry for your pain and predicament. Perhaps you will find a workable solution in the days ahead.
JOE - What's up? How ya doin' since the run? How's the ankle? Hope you're good!
PEG - Saw that you emailed my co-worker -- her husband will pass along your resume - keep me posted! How's the bathroom coming along? What exactly are you doing? We laid our own tile and faux painted our master bath a few years ago - took a long time - we didn't have a ton of time to devote to it - plus I was pregnant at the time (nesting? some of our best remodeling projects were during my 3 pregnancies!). ;-)
MONNIK - Hey, yeah, the Ben Gay can be insane! A little bit truly goes a long way, doesn't it? Hope your hip feels better soon! Do you have a car update yet?
RUNJR - How old is your daughter? I've wanting to get my daughter interested in running - don't know how young is too young, tho' (for shorter distances?). Anyway, thanks for asking about the knee - I began to notice some right knee pain on outer side of patella about 8-9 days ago - after running several days in a row. Since then, I've taken a rest day in between, iced, ace bandaged, motrin-ed, and most recently ben gay-ed the area. Definitely want to avoid a serious injury!
SIMON - Thanks for the advice too - I was totally surprised that my knee was OK for such a long run - I've been taking good care of it since then - keep me in check, though, please! You're from Zimbabwe - how cool! Some day I will visit Africa - I have friends from S. Africa, Nigeria and Zambia.
WBERTHA & CARA - I appreciate the well-wishes! Hope you are each doing well!
Hello, KATHYWING! How are you, new friend?
Good night to all - will get out for a 3.5 tomorrow a.m.
GOTTA RUN...

Hey guys - morning all!
Chuck - sorry to hear about your situation. I do wonder if you're making it harder for yourself though by not giving it a complete break...? I know it's easier to say then do, but it may be worth taking a complete break for a couple of weeks and then see how you feel? I was in the same position when I broke up with my ex a few years back... I kept seeing him and it made everything harder - once I severed all ties I could deal with it and move on. Either that or you'll realise that you really do want to be together and make another go of it and try much harder with family issues...
KathyWing - congrats on your 8 miles. Sounds like you are in a similar position in your training as I am - when's your half? Don't worry about the pace - sounds like you're doing great to me
Simon - Yup i'm English... The 10K i'm going for is along Worthing Promenade. It's East of Lyme Regis, West of Brighton if that helps? Most the beaches in that area of the south coast are pebble but we love them anyway I'm more of a rugby girl than football so don't watch the premiership much
Monnik - how's the hip?
I did a 3.5 tempo run last night and it was sooo cold (well probably not for you guys but cold for me!) Made me run quick though as did it in 34:20!!! Woo hoo! I'm getting the terminology now... must be a real 'runner' !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|border=0!
Hi to everyone else...
Happy Running All

Hey everyone! I’ve decided to take several days off to heal this hip. It’s just not healing otherwise. I’ll let it rest and then run again and it starts hurting again. I think it wants more than a day’s rest between runs, so I’m going to give it until this weekend at least. I’ve decided to walk the mileage that I’d run instead (except for my long run - walking 6 miles would take forever! ). I figure that I have to get it healed before I start serious training for my big race in May. (I know – May is so far off, but still…)
It’s funny, though. I really miss running! (And I’m only on day 3 of resting it!) I never would have thought a year ago that I’d bemoan a week off from running. Funny how quickly it becomes important to us all.
Simon – I like the way kilometers sound too.
Cara – How’s it going?! 3.5 in 34:20 – you are so fast, girl!
Welcome Noob! Glad you could join us! I’m new to this group too. They’re a great group!!
MissWendy – holy crap! I might have had a heart attack if a shot went off while running!
Laurel – how old is your daughter? Mine is almost 14, but my son (who is 10) also occasionally runs with me. We picked up the new car last night! It’s oh so pretty! And has all sorts of cool gadgets (butt warmers, moon roof, adjustable everything, you name it.)
Chuck – how’s it going today? Things any clearer? What is the issue that’s causing your son and your gf to argue?
Kristopher – We’ll have to see about that! Packers are pretty good this year! (But I will concede that the Cowboys are too… )
Wbertha – don’t worry about not having a half picked out. Mine isn’t until 5/31, so it’s a long ways off!
Peg –I want to see the remodeling pics too! I love remodeling – if I could do it full time, I would. It’s so much fun! (And hard work!)
Kathywing – 8 miles is a great long run! Don’t worry about the speed – I’m a slow runner too! I actually don’t mind being slow, I know that bugs some people, though.
Sheila – that’s so cool that you helped a coworker do c25k! I think I might start doing that with my son too.
Runjr - you're in Wisconsin? I'm in Iowa - we're neighbors!! Are you a Packers fan too???
Howdy to Jules, Slave, and Kevin! (And whoever else I missed! I promise I didn't mean to overlook anyone.)
Joe – you used to be ‘joewascool’, huh? That’s funny.
Well, happy Tuesday everyone!
