Five miles yesterday morning. It's in the 70's here. I'm going to try for 12 miles tomorrow. Hopefully it will cook down some before then! I have actually started talking to my sister about what we will wear for the WDW Half. It's getting close...and real....and scary!

Thankful for muscle memory and a good training base! 10 strong miles plus 1 slow crampy mile, but by then, I was determined to do 11. And only 1 minute slower than the last time I ran 11 miles. I ignored the little bit of pain in my glute, because @joel_maxwell and @Donald Duck said it...

Thanks, @JillC LI I just need to run more and get those endorphins flowing again!

It's been a rough couple of weeks for me. Went for my normal 5 mile run on the TM last Tuesday and had to quit at 3 because my right hip and glute were hurting so bad. No idea why. Then I could barely walk on Wednesday. I rested and did my PT exercises for 10 days. I ran yesterday for the...

Very last corral for the half. :( I guess we know now how strict they were about the Nov. 1 deadline. There was no 10K I could run within 2 hours of me by Nov. 1. I ran one on Nov. 2 and turned in my time before noon on the 2nd. Oh well. From what I've heard, I"ll pretty much be walking the...

That's my favorite kind of run.

I'm considering the Rock and Roll 1/2. I'm doing the WDW 1/2 in January, so it depends on how I feel after that. I live in Baton Rouge and there are several halfs in the area late January - early March. I'd like to do another half, but we'll see!

Five miles on Friday and 8 yesterday. Yesterday's 8 miles felt really good...probably my best long run so far. I cut over 2 minutes off my previous best 8 mile time. I'm starting to learn how to pace myself depending on how far I plan to go, so I'm not going out too fast then it at...

oops! sorry about that! We had a great morning. It was my first 10K so an automatic PR.....LOL! Hope @cloe111479 had a great day too!

@Sweet Melissa I wish I had seen this earlier! I ran the NOTC Lakefront Classic too. We could have had a meet-up!

Only made 3 miles through my planned 5 miles on the treadmill last night. I could not breath..I guess the remnants of the head cold I fought all weekend finally got the better of me. I'll try again on Friday!

Yep, I will own up to that! The cold rain got the better of my new-found resolve to improve my cross-training last night. Tortilla soup with the hubs at our favorite Mexican restaurant won out over an Aqua Zumba class. I will be sorry tonight when I have to go 5 miles on the TM.

I have had several people tell me that once I do a half, I am going to want to do a full. I love a good challenge, but I just don't see that happening. I may fulfill my need for a challenge by pushing for a faster time in a half, but I just don't see my body holding up for a full, nor do I...

I've been bad about taking care of my cross-training, @joel_maxwell , but your report shows why it is so important and I need to pay more attention to it. BTW....as I was contemplating stopping before the end of my planned 11 miles yesterday, I heard Isabeau in my head telling my legs to quit...

Congrats on your PR! I guess these things are kinda like bearing children. The pain is awful in the moment and you swear you are never going to do it again, but then, you just can't help yourself! LOL!

Ummm...are you sure about that?? ;) Just kidding....way to stick it out! 11 miles yesterday on a sunny Sunday afternoon around 50 degrees. I love the challenge of running, and how I feel the day after, but the actual running is still torturous. It does eventually feel better, doesn't it?

No DVR on the treadmill at the gym. If I'm lucky, I'll get to watch Dance Moms tonight. :rolleyes:

Yep...I feel the exact same way about my hips and knees. So far, so good! Great report...love all the pictures! But seriously....you need another Disney run on your calendar!

@joel_maxwell that is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time! Congrats to you and your girl for a great race and great mentoring. Yay for @Kristia and Dan! After short runs of 4.5 and 5 miles during the week, 8 muggy miles last night were exponentially suckier than the 10 miles I did...

I would have considered the old shoes for casual, walking around, but I have no need for pink Minnie Mouse shoes at this stage in my life!
