Hi all! I have been mia on this thread lately. Lots of LTO issues with my dad's health (AGAIN!) which has interfered not only with computer time but also training time (apologies to Herc's Heroes!) My two friends I got started walk/running are still with me and coming along. They're...

Hi team! I took out my two buddies and did a walk/run with them followed by a quick run of my own. Today's totals: 5.38 miles in 56 minutes It was so warm (60) it was really great; unfortunately a cold front comes through tonight. Boo! I am ready for spring!! (Remind me of this in the...

Good job getting out there, Allyson! Really makes me appreciate our NC winters. (50 today - I had to wear long sleeves!:scared1: ) I had a stonker this morning - 5.5 miles in 1:00:02. That's my slowest in MONTHS. I'll blame it on so much LTO the past couple of weeks and the hilly route...

Here to report my paltry total for today, which means for the week after dealing with my dad's health crisis. 2.5 miles in 35 minutes 2.8 miles in 26 minutes Tomorrow will be a long run, I hope! Renee

Hi team! Hate to report I've done absolutely no working out since my last report on Friday. I was supposed to do 10 miles on Saturday; instead I took my dad to the ER and spent the next 2 days there at the hospital with him. After a couple shiny new stents yesterday he is back home today...

Okay, here's mine from the marathon this year: http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_photo.asp?EVENTID=25142&ID=45640062&FROM=photos&BIB=9468 No, I'm not calling a cab! I'm calling DH to let him know how far out I am from the finish line to make sure he sees me! But how embarrassing to be...

Shan - Congrats on making it 8! Today I did: 35 minutes walk/run for 2.25 miles (with my friends!) 38:38 minute run for 4 miles 20 minute core workout I won't count the housecleaning/laundry that I've been doing ever since! Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! Renee

Hi everybody! Man this thread just flies now-a-days. I do read it, but just can't keep up with responding to everyone. I apologize! I got out today in the wind and did 5 miles. Yesterday I was a slacker and skipped it. I was just so tired; I came home from work and did...

Hi team! I am coming with my tail between my legs to admit I did not run my scheduled 4 miles yesterday. I didn't work out at all. Sorry! Today, however, I did get in 5 miles in 50:55. That included a walk break of about .1 as I had some "stomach issues". (Like eating soup right before...

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: Yay team! Today I did my walk/run: 34 minutes and 2.5 miles along with 30 minutes of core work. Go the distance! Renee ps - and Matt - you da man! I can't believe you did 2 races in the same weekend. You ARE a Hero!

Hi team! I got in 9.44 miles yesterday in JUST under 1:30 (1:29:57 to be exact). It felt pretty good; I've got to get back into it if I'm really doing this half in the beginning of April. The weather was beautiful and it was a great day to run outside - 60 and sunny. Tonight I'll do some...

Ran 9.44 miles in 1:29:53. (Had a 10 miler mapped out but had to make a detour so altered my course.) Ironically, I realized by running faster in the last mile I was hurting my team as I was reducing my hours! :rotfl: Renee

Hi team! I got my two new friend out and they're all exciting about finding a 5K to train for - it's pretty cool! I hope I can help them to keep up their motivation and get them as strangely addicted as we all are! After they left (we had to do the indoor track today) I did a little bike to...

Here are mine for today - a little whacky looking as I took my beginner friends on a run/walk (actually more of a walk/run) and then did a bit more on my own: Run/walk: 30 minutes; 2 miles Bike: 10 minutes; 1 mile Weights: 60 minutes GO THE DISTANCE! Renee

I do go to Kerr, but I've only been going there a couple of years. At least Mom has the endurance to keep up with him!

Hi team! I'm trying to keep up with my team thread and this thread; whew! I got out and did 4 miles today after work. Sunny, but the wind was cold enough to get me to cover my ears. I am just so happy to be running again! Tomorrow I'm taking out my 2 new runner friends again; since...

Welcome, Lori! Boy, this is REALLY funny having all these Ohio folks on the team! Maybe we need a team meet at Cedar Point ... Are you on the east side or west? I think the particulars about how exactly to report miles/hours will get worked out in the next couple of days. (Oh yeah...

Shan - How exciting! My only bummer about completing my first marathon is that I'll never again have that thrill of doing "my longest run ever". (And no, I'm not considering and ultra!) Whenever I was upping my mileage I would think "every step I take is one more than I've ever taken...

WISH I could, but I'll be in Ohio that weekend for a soccer tournament. I do plan on doing the half in Raleigh in April!
