I have a 4 mile scheduled in the am- was supposed to be today but my daughter showed up early- have been putting insulation in all day so I will be lazy this evening!

Welcome all new ones- I think even with all the new people that are posting saying they are beginners , I am still way behind ya'll, my longest is 4 1/2. I should be farther in my training, but am going back a few weeks because of the back injury. I think it is all healed now- not bothering me even with going back to running short 2- 2 1/2 runs. Hopefully I will be saying the same after tomorrows!

Monnik - I hope your hip heals soon- I wouldn't push it if it hurts- have it looked at! Good Luck!

Joe- Good Luck!!! You'll do great! Looking forward to the race report.

Good evening halfers, our little group is growing all the time. 5 miles yesterday. I tried a new meal before running. Peanut butter and honey sandwich. I remember one of my high school friends drinking honey before his long runs. I certainly had plenty of energy during my run. Rest day for me today, 8 miles in the morning.

I think for Thanksgiving we are going to grandma’s house. I am going to have DW drop me off about 8 miles out of town and run in from there. Although, my family should call the holiday “football giving.”

Hopper- Welcome! I posted a message on your other thread about asthma. Sounded like most of the others that posted there just think asthma is in the head. I was really frustrated reading them. But, I see the attitude toward asthma on a regular basis.

Misswendy- welcome! Sounds like your training is going well.

Freerunner- are you going to run the 3M half in Jan.? If so, you would make 3 total form this group.

Laurel- hope your run goes well.

Monnik- sounds like a good recovery plan. We need to get everyone up and going again!

Chuck- sounds like a nice trip for the holidays. Good running.

I am off to bed. Good runs/rests to all.

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.

Hey Gang!  Getting ready to go to San Antonio!   I'm going solo (wife went out of town this morning) so ya'll will have to wait for the race photo pics!   LOL  Weather forecast looks good.  I'll try and pop back in when I get back tomorrow afternoon!   So guess one of you early birds can start next week's thread tomorrow! 

Thanks everyone for all the Good Luck wishes! I'll think about all of you, my online running friends!


Later peeps!

Joe

hows everyone
cant wait to see pictures of the race, joe. good luck.
10 miles this am on a national forest trail. loads of fun...slow going, though due to spider webs and horseshoe ruts. the first 6 miles were 10 min each, but slowed down later. of course, could be due to the camping night before, or the hotdogs and refreshing beverages consumed therewith....hmmmm
i wish i had advice for yall about weights, hips, asthma, etc, but i am new to sports in general. but i do say that i am much happier now that i am getting into shape!!!
love to yall
