Hi, all! I'm living through you so how's it going? Everyone had a good week? Hip is still tender but I'm think I will be able to run in the next week or two. I tried Thurs but didn't work out.....still in pain.... Teresa, how's the injury? Looks like you put some distance on me again this week. Phillip, I think I'll try running this week and again and see what happens if not then I think it will be one more week? Getting there....the stretching and massage is starting to pay off. Looks like you caught fire this week. Making up the miles you are toward your HM! Jennifer, how was Grandma's HM this weekend? obiebyke, a 1 hr run. Woo Hoo! You are still moving up strong!!!! ikers - how's your come back going? Anne, how did your race go? Looks like it might have been HOT! Looks like a PR! Good job! HwyChld, nice to see you checking in again! Alex, how did you running go this week? Karl, how did the race go? Ruth and Matt, Missed you both last week. Hope you are going ok..... Anya, if you are checking in.... we miss you!!!! Hope you are having fun! Daisy, I know you are out there!!! HI!! *waves* letchitsa1, hope everything is going well. I know you said you would be busy off and on....thinking of you Have a good week everyone......If I missed you give me a shout out. Gayle

Sorry to see you two are still out, but better to be cautious then to risk a more serious injury. Anne, good job on the race this week. Hope you met all of your goals I had a good week this week, but I need to find more time during the week to extend some of those runs. Guess I will need to start running after work once or twice per week, instead of the morning. M - off T - off W - 4 moderate, didn't plan on running this pace Th - 4.5 easy F - 3.7 easy S - 11 long (longest run to date) Su - 3.8 easy Total - 27 miles I shouldn't have a problem covering the distance for my HM, but I will need to extend a midweek run and get some speed work in once my official training starts in two weeks.

This is no time for injuries! Not that there is a good time, but i'd rather be injured when i won't want to run, anyway. M - off T - 3.18 W - off R - 3.00 F - off Sa - 3.32 Su - 2.54 12.04 miles This week i bump up the intervals. It should be fun!

Yargh. I managed 9 last week (3 each MWF--I'm starting 6 mile runner) but I think I'm only going to do 6 this week, probably Tuesday / THursday--my knee is feeling a little funny, we've got houseguests, and it's hot as a $^&@#$*&^@#$. If it's nice / everyone else is asleep I'll try for another 3 Saturday to even everything out.

Hey all! Last week I just squeaked above 20: M -- 3.8 T -- gym/weights W -- 5 R -- gym/weights F -- 4.2 Sa -- 10k race, with 1.5 mile easy warm-up. I did PR the race, but it was pretty ugly. So hot! The race went from AT&T Park (SF Giants baseball stadium) to Candlestick Park (49ers). Got to finish on the field at Candlestick! I did learn from the race that I can probably do a sub-60 10k in better conditions, because I was so close. So now I've got a new goal. Philip -- great job on the 11 miles Karl -- great rae coming off a hard week, and in difficult conditions. Way to go! I'm getting a late start to the week now. Sunday and Monday are normally running days for me, but I was up in Yosemite with my 5-year old. We had a blast, mostly, but she really hated the hike I dragged her on. I fear I've scared her off hiking now! Although, later that afternoon, she practically skipped to the base of Yosemite Falls, so I think the morning hike was just bad timing and a bad trail. Hope she doesn't hold it against me! Anyway, so this week will be low mileage for me, and I don't have another race planned until September. I know you all will keep me motivated through the summer!

I ran a mile today! It felt awesome - my anke never even twinged. I had a grin on my face the entire time. I successfully fought the temptation to go farther. Maybe tomorrow my PT will tell me I can try longer.

yeah Teresa! Hope everything continues to heal quickly!
