Thanks, Anne! I should be there by the end of next week. Good luck with the 1000-mile bunny! You'll make it! I ran 5.4 miles this morning with my ankle taped up, and it felt OK. I'll do 4 on Wednesday, 1 on Friday, and then do my 10K race on Saturday. I've had to lower my expectations - now I'll just do the best I can, walking when necessary. It's a beautiful race course - it ends at the Portland Head Light - the lighthouse you see on posters and stamps all the time. There's usually a cool breeze off the ocean for part of the race. It will still be a warm one, probably.

Not a bad week, but I had a 5k scheduled for Wednesday night that was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms. M - off T - 4.4 easy W - 5k (cancelled) Th- off F- 4.9 easy S- 10.4 long Su - 4 jogging stroller Total - 23.7 miles Not bad, but missed out on some miles due to the race being cancelled.

Quick run through..... AC went out yesterday and the repairman didn't make it out until late today. It's hot and I'm one tired puppy! I got 6 count that 6 miles in this week. Two of the runs hurt, but Sat was pretty good. Monday - 2 miles Thurs - 2 miles Sat - 2 miles Sunday - biking - 20 miles. I'm pretty sure that I am not going to run the 1/2 marathon in Oct. This will take a lot of pressure off of me not to stress on my "training" and trying to get miles in. I'll just work on getting back into running, maybe try and do more biking to keep my fitness up. This has me really depressed since this is the race I've been keying off on the entire year. But hey, it's not like I'm giving up I'm just trying to be smart so I can continue to run and enjoy it rather then stress and really hurt myself. So Phil, I'm going to have to live through your training and 1/2......So keep me informed.

Hey all! I'm back from Portland. My running routes were pretty boring--Reed isn't in the best part of the city. But I got three runs in and posted double digits! Tues: 3.58 Thur: 4 Sat: 2.61 Total: 10.19 miles Don't slow down, folks. Seems, from the posts on the forum, like the midyear doldrums are kicking in. We can do it! Keep at it!

OK - week started out for me better than it ended. I took a nice spill on Saturday on the way to a wedding. Torn pants and skinned knee aside - I came out of that with a mild ankle sprain, which more or less canceled my long run and several this week so far. Here's what I managed to pull off: M - 2.06 T - 3.1 W - 2.06 R - off F - 3.1 S - off S - off With proper cool down - 11.1 miles total. Not great, but not bad either.

Anne, GREAT JOB on setting your sites on the 1,000 mile goal. Woo Hoo! I'm/We are cheering you on! I was hoping to catch you and now..... I'm cheering you on! As far as weekly check-in's....just start a thread and see what happens.. I think Obie was the one that suggested it here. Teresa, cheering you on and waiting to see what happens with your 10K this weekend! Take it easy on that ankle. Tonight I see the light so I'm hoping to be joining you in the running again (maybe). I got my jog/walk in and my hip is not KILLING me like usual. There's hope. Take the pressure off of the 1/2 marathon and relax a bit and not worry about mileage or "running" the entire time seems to be agreeing with me. (Heavy Sigh) scubagrrl, don't mind at all. Looks like you had a good race and a good week. Thank you for sharing. It is very helpful for me to see what others are doing day in and day out. Makes me feel not so alone in my non-running world. Phil, pretty good week with you missing a race and being a great dad and taking Grace out in the jogging stoller. That was one of the things my hubby really enjoyed when the kids were growing up and running with them. Enjoy it! Karl, hold that bunny back! Don't let him catch us! Obie, so glad to see you back! Your posts always make me smile! Denise, sorry about the spill....ouch! Noticed you made a second double digit week. Woo Hoo! Not bad at all! To quote Obie.....keep it up! We can do it!
