Congrats! It is a great feeling! Have a super weekend!

I hope all are safe from Earl. I was quite sore after my 5K {8/29} so I haven't done a lot this week, then I got sick so I am getting behind again. I am still very new to running and brand new to doing distance events - is there a recovery time after an event? Should I start over after the...

Great incentive! Keep going and good luck on your 2.5 miler tonight!

Thanks Disneybound - I appreciate it!

I am okay with starting a new thread if needed. You could always link this one to the new one so one could catch up if they wanted to do so. The bios and schedule of each members events would be fun! Thanks again Matt -

Congrats! That is fantastic! :woohoo:

Hi everyone! I have been MIA from here and running. Just couldn't get a good feel for it and no energy. However, I had signed up for a 5K and I did that this morning. There were times I thought I would just drop dead, but I did make it to the finish line and feel good about that. It was...

I went to a Good Form Running clinic at Gazelle Sports last night. Ugh! Well at least I know what I need to work on and why my hip gets sore ;) I really want to try the compression sleeves too but haven't bought them yet. It is finally cooler here in the mornings so I got out yesterday and...

For the Relay for Life they have Endurance Walkers who walk the entire 24 hours but I am just walking 2-3 hours.

I am also one that the Princess is the main reason/focus of my desire to run. If not for that, I would still be sitting on my couch waiting to turn into a real potato :rotfl2:

As for me, I had a really bad 2 mile run on Wednesday and I am still getting over that mentally. I have a 3 mile run planned on the beach this weekend . Wish me Luck! Good luck! We all have bad days, don't beat yourself up over it. Thanks - I registered for the 5K and am feeling pretty...

Okay - I am embarrassed to say this but I flaked on the GR 1/2. I am just not going to be ready - I have been reading books and I am further behind than even I thought I was. That being said, I did register for the local 5K that is on August 28th so I am not giving up, just being cautious. :(...

That was my question too and I think it must be that the race rate is what is selling out. I am more concerned about getting a room than getting the race rate as I think there will be other options there - PIN or AP rate.

Yay! DH says I can register tomorrow for the Grand Rapids 1/2 - I am so excited!! :)

I am not worried about where I finish in October - I just want to finish. I don't mind if I walk even most of it - I just want to see what I can do. I am hoping that as I lose some weight, running will get easier, please tell me it will. I need to lose about 30 pounds but I am thinking even 20...

I have a whole week under my belt :rotfl2: I haven't even decided on a time for the Princess so this is just a training - can I do it, kind of event. Thanks!

This may seem to be an insane question but here goes anyway! Is is remotely possible that I might be ready for a 1/2 by October 17th? I would like to try one before the Princess and I know DH would like me to try one before the Princess. Being in Michigan, my options are going to be slim...

Thanks! I appreicate your help.

Hello! I am new to the unnamed team! I have been reading this thread though and feel like I am getting to know you all already. I am doing my first 5K on Aug 28 and planning to do a couple more events before it gets so cold and snowy that they all going into hiding. I am 37 and married to a...

Great thanks very much!
