Ha ha. No raise. I'm glad I didn't get fired :)

Can I just say that in the nicest way, I am dying laughing right now?? I realized I just read through this entire post thinking "good question" and then realized that I can't think of anywhere else you could ask in all seriousness for advice on running in wings. That's why I love this board :)...

Ugh. When I have that problem I take a break. I'm still trying to get over feeling guilty when I take a break, but truthfully when I take that break I always come back stronger. Last week I had a really rough long run, and it was a series of things also - too much going on, sore muscles, and...

Sooooo doing the dining plan!! It's my husband's determining reason for staying on property, and it's such a load off not worrying about figuring out eating etc. We're not doing CRT for a celebration dinner. I can see why it would be perfect. For us, I know it will be a really long day (for...

This is my fear too. I'm a bit further along in training, but I get that fear. Mine isn't exactly the same. It's that I'll hit a certain point, hit a wall, and just stop moving. I'm also afraid of being last or being picked up, etc. I had a long talk to my running coach about it (I'm entering a...

LOL I can only imagine the abbreviations you must deal with. I work at a pension plan and even the name of our organization is an acronym!

PEACOCKS???? That's awesome. My neighbourhood has rabbits (cute), raccoons (scary) and skunks!!! I'm kind of jealous.

It never occurred to me to try out the costume on a longer training run. I already get some funny looks when I sing along to my music ... adding on a costume ?! I love it! (also - good point because I ran in a costume for a different race - and it was a disaster.

Seriously? I'm all about communing with nature, but I don't get the bandana thing. I thought people wore bandanas to wipe sweat. Do you wrap it back around your wrist? I'm bringing toilet paper. and a ziploc.

I'm the same way. I had my 2nd 4 years ago, and I just can't get rid of the pregnant belly and I tried everything. Yesterday I was in yoga class, and one of my teachers (on mat leave but there was a student) was next to me. Her baby is 1 month old and you can't tell she had a baby. I'm trying...

I tried running in place before I got my treadmill. Mind you, I only did it during commercials. Like someone else said, I found it harder on my knees. Also - it's boring and I felt silly so I'd stop. I run super early in the morning. It's super hot where I live and we are having heat...

Definitely considering race retreat. The private porta-potties are the draw for me. I've totally got a nervous bladder and I am more stressed about that than the race! Also, I think my family may come a little later than me (I want to take a bus, and I'd like dh and kids to drive a bit later)...

Today was my first long run with my new running clinic. Truth - it wasn't the longest run I have ever done. BUT it was great because I ran at a consistent pace (instead of super fast then walking then sprinting then walking) and did 10 and 1's. And it was great running with a group and getting...

I've never done a half, but this was exactly me at a race I did last year. I need specific things (right kind of bagels, seriously) and everything started to fall apart. It ended up being a great race, but it was only a 5k. We are definitely arriving on the Friday before!

I've been a little worried about my emotions at this race, so I feel better that I won't be the only one crying. A couple weeks ago I did my first 10 k, and went it was over I went back, hugged the pace bunny, and burst into tears!

I was looking at the Toronto run. I'd love to join you for a Toronto Meet up :) Just let me know when and where! Which facebook group is it?

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Laural (Lauraldawn) and I'm soooo excited to be doing the Princess Half. It will be my first half. I've been running for a few years, but I made some lifestyle changes over the past year and it's made a huge difference in my running. I...
