obiebyke , you're right! Stupid bunny! I'm trying to lay off of the running this week to see if I can get down to a no pain foot. My foot didn't feel to bad from the race on Sat., but the hike did it in on some rough ground. So I thought I would ice the foot and just walk through out this week. Stupid bunny! Walking doesn't count and he's getting farther ahead. I plan on running this weekend if I'm pain free. Wingz, *fingers crossed* Good luck on your 5K this weekend! Don't look at your new HR monitor during the race though. It might scare you to much. Anne, I'm giving you a chance to pass me. So go, go and go....I'm hoping I will NOT give you this chance again soon! And I agree with you. If you don't count me foot it's getting "easier" to run. That's why I'm so scared to take to much time off since I don't want to lose my fitness. Ruth, race report? First place medal? GREAT job! Hopefully you will meet your goal next time! Daisy, I think I'm loving hiking so much since I've lived in Kansas all my life. No where to hike there either...now I have LOTS of places to go and taking time to get it done! Wedding? Contgrats! You are going to share pictures, right? Denise,glad to see you posting!
