<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>Finally Friday! No work for me tomorrow but a busy weekend.</p>
<p>Had a good workout this morning and still taking it easy. And yes, I think a doctors visit will be in my future (if I don't see any improvements by next week.)</p>
<p>Marianne, I hear you about running!</p>
<p>Sisu, love the new profile picture!</p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  I guess I will work out later.  I ran about 5 last night.  I am so ready to get this weekend started.  Nothing really planned I just want to relax a little.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul let's get this weekened going.  That is good you don't have to work tomorrow.</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Good morning Paul!  Glad to hear that you had a good workout and that you are considering a dr's appointment.  I won't hassle you about it anymore!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's so very dark here at 5am!  I really wish I could get myself out of bed to run then but there is no way I'm running down the dark road past the dark forest for over 1.5mi all alone - it's creepy.  Yes, I'm a sissy!  haha  I guess I could take a dog or two with me.  I'm going to bootcamp this morning and will run tomorrow.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did look at the pictures from our race Sudsy and we look pretty good considering the conditions that day.  </p>

<p>Morning!  I have today off and I get to go to my orthodontist later.  It's very dreary.  I think I will take today off from any exercise, except maybe some pushups and crunches.  It is finally dawning on me that the easier I take it, the quicker this thing will heal! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul ~ Enjoy your weekend! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu ~ I have a short stretch of woods to run by too.  It's just a little under 1/2 a mile and it is very creepy in the dark.  I have only done it in the dark a few times which was enough to convince me that it is too scary!  I don't think you're a sissy - you are smart!!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ron ~ WTG on your run!  Hope you have a great weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DId anyone hear about the women who ran a marathon (maybe Chicago) pregnant, finished it and then had her baby soon after??  And it was her second marathon during that pregnancy!!  Crazy!  I remember with both kids walking was enough for me during pregnancy!  Sounds very  risky to me, but it all worked out for her....she must be one tough lady!</p>

<p>Susan you are being smart not wanting to run in the dark not a sissy.  What about carrying pepper spray with you?  I love your new picture.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Marianne the pregnant woman did run Chicago and she ran half the race.  Still that is amazing she was 38 1/2 weeks pregnant.</p>

 

[*Marianne*]

<p>Ron ~ Oh, I swore I read that she finished it in a little over 6 hours - and her husband started with her, but his knees gave out so he had to bag it!  Either way, even running a half while that far along in pregnancy is amazing!</p>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Serious assbusting workout this morning at bootcamp.  Our trainer had the best quote ever while we were warming up.  She said, "Don't overanalyze the pain. Just go with it"  I thought that was great!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ron - I must have posted at the same time as you this morning.  Good job on your 5 miles.  Hope it's cooled down for you a bit!  Pepper spray might work for a coyote but I don't want to be in that situation!  haha  Thanks for your complement about my picture - it's actually a few years old. <br>
Marianne - it's so nice to see you here!  Hope the ortho went OK!  I hear you on finally realizing that you will heal quicker if you take it easy.  I wonder why it's so hard for us runners to realize that?  I did hear about the pregnant woman and I think that she did run the full marathon but I might be wrong.  Either way I can't imagine how she did that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's pouring rain here so no horse time today but I did get a lot of errands done.  I certainly have enough to do around here so I guess I better get something done before the kids get back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>She did take 6 hours and ran half.  I couldn't even imagine being on my feet for 6 hours let alone being 9 month pregnant.  People continue to amaze me.</p>

 

[*Marianne*]

<p>Oh, wow!  I couldn't imagine that.  She must be amazing!  Or crazy.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu ~ It's nice to be back here!    I love what your trainer said - glad you had a good workout! </p>
