hi everyone!

Your log is looking really nice!

Thanks!!!! I'm torn because 1 part of me is like everyone is probably thinking I need to get those runs up to 2-3 miles a shot, but I'm doing the best I can and I like running every day. I would rather run 1 mile every day then 2-3 miles 2-3x a week. So I'm trying to not stress and just get myself out there every day. And maybe next week when I'm not so busy distracting myself from the loneliness of not having DH around I'll work on increasing my mileage.

aww I remember her too... I miss her... she was a beast!!! LOL And Kimmie - I say try a very slow very easy NO expectation run.

I'm probably just a big wuss and over estimating. Maybe a 6 and a 4 I did bring workout clothes today and could crosstrain. Maybe just some elliptical and some weights.

Bugs, I love those pictures! You look like you're flying in the last one of just you. Remind me not to post pictures here... I never like how I look when I'm running. too vain, I know. Wow, Dave, I didn't know that you had that much pain. The whole # thing for pain is funny to me. They asked me yesterday... I said 8 on Tuesday and 3 yesterday. I am a baby when it comes to pain and I've birthed children... but I had drugs then. Hang in there... getting ready to go for a no expectation run.

I think I would look fiercer if I could get my hair to stand straight up when I run Who am I kidding? I don't have any hair. Bugs, those pictures looked great!! #6 up at the top was awesome.

Isn't my hair funny! My hair seems to fly better than the competition, not if only I could get the legs to fly like that. I will buy some, for the exercise room walls. There are a crap load of lost pictures because we all had throw-away shirts on for most of the race. I'll have to dig through to see if I can find one of me soaking wet.

Just got back from 4.5 in 40 min. felt awesome... so I'm thinking I'm ok... another doc's visit tomorrow.. and I won't run more than 8 this weekend.

Bugs, you look tough in those pictures! Shan, are you a streaker again? Nice running. Dave, sorry to hear about the shin splints. Mine come and go, luckily they haven't gotten near as bad training for this marathon as the last. I ran the last 4.5 miles of the marathon today at the end of an 8.3 miler. Wow, that's not going to be fun. I'm a flat-land runner, and that stuff's not cool. One of the steeper hills is about mile 25.5. Oh well, since it's a loop, it's got to even our somewhere! Oh, I'm only about 11 miles behind the 1500 mile bunny. That's the closest I've been in months. The challenge will be after the marathon, trying to catch back up after recovering for a week.
