Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

I'm with you sister.

My back is fine, but my calves are pretty dang tight! Looks like it will be a nice and slow run tomorrow for me.

DEFINATELY! I think I might play a little Dance, Dance Revolution tonight with the kids to see if I can loosen up at all. Great job again, you really did look strong whenever I saw you. I read your comment from Michelle L. and she is right. If you feel good at the end of race, you didn't give it your all. I felt great at the end of SG, so what does that tell you? It was a wierd race for me though. All the pee breaks, kind of crazy. Even though I looked strong yesterday, I was pretty dang tired those last couple of miles. I honestly felt, given my training for the past month, I did my best. Hopefully we'll see you this week with the BBK's:)

Michelle, that is pretty funny that you do DDR. I started doing it to help with my stabilizer muscles. It is a pretty cool way to work out and the kids seem to love it too. Oh crap, I am telling all my secrets for the world to know.

I have a client who comes at 7:00 and so I have to jump off my bike and run home to meet her. How is Jare'd IT band? I am loving my little black IT band supporter that I bought. I wear it above my knee, unlike the ones we see so many people wearing below their knee. How are your sore muscles recovering?

Angela, it wasn't his IT band, it was his Bursi(sp?) sack. It was full of fluid and the doc drained it 3 times and gave him 2 cortizone shots. It is finally getting better after 8 weeks:(
