Is that really an accurate statement though? I don't ever recall anyone who is supposedly "fast" lumping people into slow or fast categories and only interacting with the other "faster" people. I also don't think it's true that the supposedly "faster" people don't engage in banter. A lot of the "faster" people have some pretty high post counts. Anyone think Pacer, PhillyTom or Maria are too aloof? No disrespect Frankie, but I just don't see it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.<br><br>
Nobody here cares how fast or slow anyone else is. You should feel completely free to post any running related stuff on this thread. There is no judgement here.

I'm with Coach T on this. I've gotten a lot of feedback from some of the serious running studs around here when I was posting more and my running is not even in the same league as some of the folks here. Plus, I can always try to keep up with both threads, but I don't have to.<br><br><b><span style="text-decoration:underline;">BUT</span></b> don't ever be afraid to post your runs with a smile on you face no matter what the pace time or distance. The next time I get my ass below 10 min/mile I'll post it in <b><span style="font-size:medium;">bold size 7 font</span></b>....possibly in a nice shade of orange.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br>

Got an easy 6 done this afternoon. Legs have really needed the first 3 miles to loosen up these days (I think it's been since we've had cooler weather), but then things went just fine.<br><br>
yay, <b>winter</b>!<br><br>
I do. About this time last year is when I got them, actually. I can give you the whole low-down on why I got 'em, etc. if you want to PM me, but basically, YES I think they help. And they cost me about $500 for both. Not covered by insurance. Priceless, in my opinion, because I have been able to train for and run a marathon and soon a second without any knee pain...<br><br><br><b>Theia</b> - I think training for a spring marathon was way better than a fall marathon. I didn't mind running in the cold --sort of prefer it, actually. The toll that all that running in the heat takes on you when training for a fall marathon is taxing and frustrating...<br>
But I hear ya on the balance with tri training. I'd like to get more into those next year...<br><br>
Holy crap. You are going to hate running my pace.<br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">But that comment about spending 4 hours with me was really nice. Thanks <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"></span>

<b>Frankie</b> - I understand how you feel, believe me. HOWEVER, this is not the marathoners training thread, or the sprinters thread, or the ultra thread. It is simply a 30's thread to discuss our running without that getting lost in the craziness of the 30's fun. I enjoy and value both, and I agree it's weird to have separate threads. I'm warming up to the idea, though, and like the way this thread went today -- give it a chance <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

Frankie,<br>
I'm certainly not the fastest runner, and I've never run any further than 9 miles (once.) I just started running in May, my year to date total is 226 miles since I started logging my miles at the end of June. Don't be afraid to post your stuff. I feel like everyone here is very supportive of each other, and it doesn't matter what your level of ability is.<br><br>
Here are my personal triumphs to date:<br>
YTD milage: 226.8 miles<br><span style="font-size:small;">November:</span><span style="font-size:small;">19.1 Mi</span> <span style="font-size:small;">October:</span><span style="font-size:small;">63.6 Mi</span> <span style="font-size:small;">September:</span><span style="font-size:small;">59.6 Mi</span> <span style="font-size:small;">August:</span><span style="font-size:small;">48.8 Mi</span> <span style="font-size:small;">July:</span><span style="font-size:small;">31.7 Mi</span><br><br><br><br>
5k in October: 29:28<br><br>
In August when I was stuggling getting past 3 miles this group helped me realize it was a mind block and that I could go further. My next run I did. This is a wonderful support network, and you should be as proud of your own personal runs as everyone else is of theirs. Don't be afraid to post your running stuff. I love hearing about how everyone is doing, including you. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Hey all,<br><br>
48 minutes of running at lunch today. I stayed on the flats and tried to take it easy. I meet up with my new primary care phys. on Friday morning to take the first step towards getting my belly fixed up. Time's getting short if I want to get it remedied and still have time to train properly for Eugene.<br><br><b>Frankie</b> - don't sweat it. You are the only judge of you here, and it doesn't matter where you go because that dude will follow. So you might as well stay here and keep on keepin' on.

<b>I like the run thread because</b> I can never recall what level everyone is at or how fast everyone is or what everyone's running goals are because it all gets jumbled up in other banter. I enjoy hearing about everyone's running and training, but I feel a little left out at times, too. I don't believe it's all in <b>Frankie</b>'s head and I also don't believe anyone is purposely ignoring anyone, it's just when you get to talking to people with similar goals and whatnot that's going to be what you pay the most attention, too; I do it myself at times although the person I could probably most relate to running-wise hasn't posted in ages. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"><br><br>
But, at any rate, I like being the runner that I am and I learn a lot from being in here.

Dude! Don't sweat it - I don't think of the <b>run</b> thread as a way to exclude anyone (slower or faster or just starting out or experienced). It's just a way to "condense" the conversations. I think that it evolved because there were some serious questions that were being lossed or missed due to other 30 something life occurances, QOD's etc.<br><br>
I think that anyone who puts one foot in front of the other in "rapid" succession is totally welcome here. I think that everyone has something to offer. We all have things that we can contribute from running routes, workouts, ways to train, upcoming races etc. It really doesn't matter if you run a 4:30 min/mile or a 20 min/mile.<br><br>
So please don't go anywhere...

Good for you (on both counts!)<br><br>
Our polling place is right at the end of my neighborhood. I run right by it often on some of my routes. I've often thought about having an election day run and running to my polling place, voting, then running afterwards...

I might have an idea of what <b>Frankie</b> is saying. I don't think he means that anyone is purposefully being exclusive (<b>Frankie</b>, of course correct me if I'm wrong!) but that it feels difficult to keep up sometimes, running-wise. I mean, for myself, part of what I was so upset about yesterday is that I feel like all of my running dreams are slipping away as I spend more and more time on the DL. I'm not even sure why I wandered into the running thread today, in fact, because I'm not running. So, it's a piece of the 30s club that I won't be a part of much, or maybe at all, or just for a while or whatever. So, yeah, it feels like a separation.<br><br>
Hey, I managed to make that all about me. How about that?<br><br>
I guess maybe the point is for everyone to check in here as much as possible so that run vs. fun doesn't turn into serious runners vs. not. NOT that anyone has set it up that way, not at all. But things do shift over time.<br><br>
OK, clearly taking care of a sick 3-year-old today has melted my brain and I'm gonna shut up now.

<b>Frankie</b> I can see whee you're coming from - I still get intimidated sometimes when I tak to some of the people faster than me around Cincinnati. Hell, I train with some of them and get my taint handed to me on a regular basis! But I've found that I get as much out of running/chatting with people not as fast as me as I do with people that blow my doors off...usually more. My running went to another level when my BiL started running - I gave him all kinds of advice that I wasn't actually following myself so I started trying to do more of what I KNEW I should be doing.<br><br>
Plus - I get a real kick out of seeing people progress, especially when you know where they started from. And not just the studs like CoachT and Ptom and Baggs and Maria et al. I don't think I gave props to Moe for her long run over the weekend - how cool was it to hear about that? And Maples - he's come a long way already (even learning how to run in the arctic temps of 40 degrees!) Keriksen is going to kick ass at Philly, LLProgressBerg is improving like a maniac, how much weight has Bard lost, Prae ran so hard and gave such effort - well we know what happened to her!, McTortle cries one minute after a tough race and then is all smiles, Katholeenie is kicking as and smiling as she does it, Moon has lost a whole person worth of weight and is becoming a kick ass runner/tri guy, and I think Timr is going replace me on the pace team he's so damn steady! And all the other examples on this thread. So keep posting your progress and asking questions ad offering advice. Don't deny us!

Well said!<br><br>
I'm liking where this thread is going, but everyone should feel welcome here. This is a thread by the people for the people.<br><br>
Or, think of it as the "Radio Shak for Running"<br><br>
"You got running questions...we got answers" [not necessarily the right answers]<br><br>
You need motivation, we got it.<br>
You need a congratulation for reaching a new running milestone, we got it.<br>
You got a question about your new watch, or a question about shoes, we can debate it here.<br><br>
And, the best part is that you won't have to page through 13 posts about favorite recipes or movie quotes to get some responses (not that there's anything wrong with that...I love movie quotes and other jokes!).

Got some time in on the elliptical tonight and a bone crushin' session of weights. Hell, if my quads are already sore from the marathon why not do a couple hundred squats and lunges?!?!?!

Oh, also ...somehow my hamstring and hip seem to be feeling fine post-marathon. What the?!?!!? Is it possible I ran out the nasty damage there? Out tomorrow for a run to test out what the hay is going on there and if nothing, then on to 8K training. I've got a time prediction to keep!

Hi!<br><br>
First time checking in today. No run, as Tues is a normal off day for me.<br><br><b>Nettie,</b> I love that you run marathons even though they can take you 5 hours to complete. That's how long it would take me, and I'm still too intimidated by the thought of running that long to attempt a full.<br><br><b>Frankie,</b> I love that you jumped whole hog into the running thing with Team in Training, and then kept it up after. (I hate fundraising so MAJOR kudos to you for raising money for good causes).<br><br><b>Diane,</b> I have seen you deal with a lot of obstacles with your running, between injuries and family obligations. And yet, it is still important to you, you haven't given up on it.<br><br>
Those are just some of the reasons that I hope all of you keep posting here. I admire our speedy runners, but realistically, I'm never going to be able to come close to what they can do. I have much more in common with you 3 (and plenty of others here) and I value your thoughts on running and hearing about your experiences, no matter how slow or non-existent your runs may be.

Just a quick post. Craziness with the car ate up any time I would have to run today. I am going to bed in a minute (right after House is over! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> ) so I can get in my first really cold morning run. It's windy out there which really is what kills me. The cold I can handle, but freezing my face? Hmmmm.... Might even have to pull out some running <i>pants</i> so I don't freeze them off (I never mentioned that on Sat.'s 10 miler my ass was actually frozen at points and I couldn't feel my fingers.) I will experiment! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Great runs people. I definitely know I will probably never run super fast (under 10 mm consistently would be nice one day, as would 8 mm (my super secret I really wish for it goal)! Anywho, I know what you mean Frankie, but I'm just gonna keep on doing my thing whether anyone listens or not! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> At least I got it off my chest! LOL
