PolePole - great job! You'll be on graduation week soon!
Good news from chiro today - I can start running again as long as I don't overdo it. I plan to be out first thing tomorrow morning! My back is almost back to normal - still a little tight and sore, but a whole lot better than a week ago!

Wow, guys! Lookin' great!
Rest days are good. I'm learning their value myself right now, as I've had this tendency to clump all my week's runs together at the beginning of the week ... and be hurting the second half of the week!!! 
I've got the charts updated. Has anyone heard from:
TraceyBond
slaptear2
Rocky
GottheBug
danea
squeiladee
Maybe we should put out an APV on them? 
Congrats LaineT on your graduation! What's next in the cards for you? |

Oh, nothing as ambitious as OHR runner. I highly commend all of you for doing it; right now, that seems like a bit more than I want to take on. I think I'm just going to keep on trying to hit 3.1 miles 3x a week for a little while. I thought about my goals while I was putting on my shoes today, and I think I'm just going to try and keep my own love of running up. I think that seems fair. As long as I keep getting out there and doing it, I'll move to longer distances when I'm ready. I hope that doesn't come off as casual or blase--nothing could be further than the truth!
The pace thing? Well, that's something else--I was ZOOMING today! I got super tired and punked out around 2.4 miles and just couldn't figure out why until I calculated my pace. Around 10:00--and I'm a secure 11 minute runner. Man. I would love to know what happens internally with us that bumps the speed up so much sometimes. Ah well--I may never know. For now, I'm happy with my 11-minute mile.
And I'm so happy I had you all with me for this. I'll check in every so often--this was (and still is!) an amazing, supportive group of runners.

| Went out for my first run in two weeks. Back was a little tight when I started, but it got better after the first few minutes. Nothing to record here - but I ran 15 minutes, walked about 3, then ran about another 5 before walking home. Could have done more, but doc said to be careful, so I'm listening. . . |

There's something very special about running for the enjoyment of it. My opinion is that letting yourself get addicted to your runs is one of the healthiest choices out there you can make. Good luck to you and keep in touch! |

No big deal, Wingz!
Good call to take it slow, JB! |

OHR w4d3 completed this morning. I'm within 2 seconds of my race pace on these easy training runs.
Rode the bike for 8.5 miles as well. The biking is still harder than running at this point. The hills around here are easier to run up than bike, but watch out on the downhills.
Also ran in my biking shorts and that felt just fine - no problems. |

Yes and it will be my first. It is in September in Dewey Beach, Deleware. It is short and flat and should be a good first effort for me.
I am also considering a much longer and hillier tri in October. |
