Maybe they heard about your pool performance!
LOL! Clearly that's it - no medical reason, they just want to save me further embarrassment.

Awood said I should say Hi. To begin with I have never enjoyed running in my life until my fiance helped me clean up my form. I ran my first 5k this summer and have been sort of hooked ever since. This year we will be racing in Chicago in March, getting married in May and I will be attempting my first half marathon in November. I have a nasty case of asthma and was a smoker for longer then I would like to admit. As much as I can I am running outside even through the Indiana winter. I was playing roller derby for a local team but am taking a break from that to plan the wedding. I look forward to getting to know you all over the coming year and read some of Scotty Dog reports...I hear good things.
Welcome! Great bunch of motivation, inspiration, and encouragement is found here.
Do or do not, there is no try.

Return To Racing
Hi Pew3. Sounds like you are really making a lot of progress running with awood. Hope you can make it to the Oak Park, IL FLW 10K in October.
Took a URD today as DW caught my cold and is taking an URD. I needed to get over to the health club anyway. Looks like I'll be running solo next few days.
Laruen - I took 2 months off for shin splints last year. It sucked, but it was much easier to come back after 2 months than it was to start in the beginning. I'm sorry you're suffering.
Anyone want to buy my garmin 110 with heart rate monitor? Its grey with a pink stripe. Ive only used it 2 or 3 months, it has 47 workouts total on it. Nothing wrong with it. I need a 210 so I can program intervals. I only used the heart strap once. I have all original paperwork, box everything. I think im gonna put it on ebay.
I might be interested! Can you PM me the price you are looking for? I have to see if I can convince DH that this would be an excellent birthday present.
Smaller By The Day
Well, I got my scheduled 5 miles in tonight, but none of the strides. I planned on doing them at the park, but found out the track was covered in packed snow and ice that was pretty chewed up. If you weren't slipping, you were twisting and ankle anyway. Just wasn't worth the risk.
Welcome PEWPEWPEW!!! :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
Scotty you can call me 3p I dont mind one bit.
Did my first ever tempo run today. I have to say Im happy that there will only be one of those per week. Awood tells me they get better, Im having a hard time believing him just yet but I will give it another shot next week.
Welcome Pew3.
Lauren, I took like 1-2 mths off running due to shin splints earlier this year.. I would do the hop on 1 leg test.. 10 times w/o pain b4 I attempt to slow jog.. I did walk 5min, jog 1 min (total of 30 mins) and redue the timing of walk slower (like every 2 days).. Try to google shin strengthening exercise.. it helps me..

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
Pew, welcome, I'm Mitch and another one of the old geezers. Do you and awood have to take turns using the computer to post in our wonderful group? Lol, sorry, couldn't resist. DW and I have to take turns.
Lauren, I took off for months when I got shin splints. I was just getting started with running so it wasn't a big deal back then.
Tori, you forgot to use the word enabler!
I ended up getting 6.4 miles tonight. As I started running tonight, I sorta bumped into 5-6 other peeps running in the neighborhood, kind of cool.
Mitch - It's my turn
Welcome pew3! It's about time you showed up.
I did 3 tonight. It was tough because I have a little cold going on. Speaking of shins, my left shin is hurting again. Sigh. It's always something, I swear.

Is your DW on the forum??? Or did you just mean taking turns on the computer in general
