Looking for a running partner!

Supermom! Congrats on the great run! That is my plan next weekend to run the course.

So - I ran a 15K in Pensacola this morning. It felt great! I beat my goal by a good 15 min So on my way back - I stopped and got a pedicure

Good job! A pedicure too! I am going to post the Katie Holmes Conspiracy - quite funny; I wonder if she had one after the New York Marathon?

HYSTERICAL!

Happy Birthday and don't just love new running shoes? Makes me run faster LOL!
YAY! I ran 13.1 this morning! I did the race course. So, I am 45 minutes out of shape not the 30 as I posted earlier. Now, I am going to show 3rd floor condos. Please let me write an offer today (and hope I can climb the dang stairs!)
Oh, I registered too! For those who haven't, I heard we are nearing 2000!

Congrats supermom! I saw you start out on your run this morning - I was in a meeting about the race. The timing company was in town.

For those of you planning on running the 5K, register now! We are almost totally sold out. I think we will sell out the Half before race day. Thanks to supermom for getting Vera Bradley as a sponsor!

HYSTERICAL!

That is totally crazy! I've read a few things on that. What do you think? Do you think she really ran it?

There is an 8K in destin next Saturday. Are you planning on running it?

Yeah supermom!!! I haven't been off my legs until now, I ran around 10:30 this a.m. - they're a little achy right now! Although, I only ran 5 miles and walked 1 today. I love the Nike plus thingy, not so sure about the shoes yet. I love my Asics.
.

I tried Nike's once to check out that Nike+ - but I had nothing but blisters on my feet after the FIRST run!! So I tooke them back and went back to my old faithfuls

4.2 miles today - nice and stretched out. It felt good because the weather was AMAZING!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hi all! I ran 7 miles yesterday!
.

I think I got 6 miles in today. I'm going to drive it off later because it took me forever!

I gotta run again tomorrow after a week-long hiatus! I'll be glad when my show is over so that I can get into bed before midnight...

No running for me today - off day. But had an amazing yoga session 5 tomorrow morning.

I find it questionable that she ran 26.2 miles
1) wearing a yoga top
2) went to an event in high heels that night. Both marathons I ran in, I was in birkenstocks - the only thing I could slip on my feet! It would be inconceivable to me to wear high heels!

Keep up the good work ladies! I will start training for the 5K after this week. If anyone is interested in running a nice medium 3-4 miles every 2 days or would like a sowal running partner let me know. I doubt I will ever run more than 4 miles. Ever in my life. but running 4 makes the 5k feel like less of a work-out when it happens. Hit me up!

I would love to join some folks to run. I'm running/walking the Mercedes this weekend (I haven't trained) and then doing the Seaside half. Basically I am starting from nothing.

Lucky! I would love to do the Mercedes run this weekend! Isn't it up in Birmingham? I'm sure the race is going to be amazing with tons of goodies That is the best part of the race - a cool shirt and a bag full of free stuff. Oh yeah - beer and the end is nice as well.

It is all about the beer at the end!!! Yes it is in Bham. This is my fourth Mercedes (and it will be my slowest). It really is a wonderful race. Val and the TrakShak have worked really hard to get the community involved, have great goodies, and lots of beers, food, music and massages afterwards.

I have always wanted to run that race. Someday I will! Good Luck!

I got in 4 miles today pushing my 56 lb son in a double jogger. My back is officially sore!

Beer at the end is always good

5 today - probably 3 tomorrow then an 8K race on Saturday But I don't think this one will have beer at the end.

Happy training!

Anyone want to do a run this morning?

Sorry Supermom! I did an 8K this morning in Destin. The weather was amazing. I'm thinking of attacking 12 tomorrow - hopefully the weather will be just as nice!!!

I did 12 today, beautiful yes, but a little warm at the end. I finished around 1:30. I think I am tapering down now.

Was that a race? How did you do?

It's gonna be a long, slow half marathon for me...I can't find time to run anymore! As long as no one expects me to set any land speed records, I reckon I can live with it...

Supermom: 8K race =5 miles. I did pretty good - went about 8 min miles Placed 2nd in my age group!

So - I did the course today. Got out about 7am and glad I did! It was hot out!! But it felt good!

As long as you have your mind wrapped around the time that you can accomplish safely, you'll be happy with your outcome....Remember, over half the world will be sitting on their duffs while you are out there putting 13.1 behind you.
I just finished the Mercedes half in 3:00, 40 minutes slower than my former personal worst. I hadn't trained and I took the hippocratic oath before starting....FIRST DO NO HARM!
Birmingham is one big hill, this was my fourth Mercedes so I knew what I was up against. My first three miles were great (maybe too great) then we got to the hills. At mile 8 my calves started cramping so I kept walking and stretching. I knew I was going to walk a lot of it but never thought it would be the second half of it. At mile 12 my toes were cramping and I wondered if I would finish at all. Not finishing wasn't an option so I pushed on. Within 8 blocks of the finish I came upon my old coach. I fell in with her and she said "It is so wonderful to be here today" I told her about my failure to do well and she said, "It is the most beautiful day we have ever had for this race. It is a glorious gift to just be here and experience this and feel that sun." She was running with one of her trainees, a young man with cerebral palsy who was doing his first half. I "let them" pass me and spent the last 8 blocks appreciating the fact that I was able to be out there in the sun with so many friends putting 13.1 miles behind me.

Bluemtnrunner - what an amazing race report! Congrats! When it comes to long races - it's all about hitting the finishline, not the time that you get Just the pure fact that you ran the 1/2 is awesome!

Hi everyone, well I did not run at all last week - 2 of my 4 kids had the stomach flu thingy that is going around and were out of school Tues thru Fri. And you would know that...who would get on Friday - of course MOM!!!

It didn't last as long for me. I think I just slept it away.

So, I did run 3 miles with hubby on Sunday. We ran about 8 min miles. But it was flat and only 3!!

Today, I ran 4 miles - started off too fast and had to walk 1 mile back home. My calf started cramping and it was hot so I had to tie my jacket around me. Hate that! Also, one more complaint - I felt like I was running in a wind tunnel - against it!

Hope everyone is doing well!
