<p>I thought this was worthy of posting b/c you guys wouldn't snicker and make fun of me.  Well, if you did, I knew it would be because you were laughing WITH me.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I ran for the first time in over a year last Tuesday and have ran 2 more times since.  Here are the stats:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tuesday: 3.5 miles, 12:45 pace.  Ran the first 1.5, ran/walked/struggled the last 2</p>
<p>Thursday: 3 miles, 11:46 pace.  Ran the first 2.5, ran/walked the last .5</p>
<p>Today: 3 miles, 11:20 pace.  Ran the entire time!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have no intenions of training for a 1/2 at this point, I haven't been able to train for any 1/2 w/o injury.   All 3 that I have run I have trained and run on stress fractures in my foot.  For now I am just going to enjoy it and run a 10K max.  I MISS YOU GUYS!!! </p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  I ran a 5.28 yesterday and it felt great.  I can slightly feel the spot in my leg that has bothered me so I will remain to take it easy.  I also lifted of course.  Not sure what I will do today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great job Nicole.  That is awesome.  Yes being healthy is better then getting hurt again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul are you back to work this week?</p>

<p>Howdy!!<br>
 </p>
<p>Great job Nicole!!!  I think 10ks are the perfect distance!  No reason to risk injury and push for a half.  We miss you too and like Paul said we are always here to support you!    Don't be a stranger</p>
<p>Sudsy - Did you have a good weekend with the move?  How is your leg feeling?</p>
<p>Ron - nice running but I like that you are being smart and listening to your leg!  Is your TM fixed yet?  Do I still need to make a trip out there to take care of it?  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was such a slacker this weekend.  I was supposed to get up to run with my group on Saturday but totally skipped it.  I just couldn't motivate myself to get out of bed!  My shin isn't 100% yet and I think taking that day off actually helped.  I was supposed to run 13 miles yesterday but I did 10.5 miles instead.  I had to wait until 9:30am to head out so the heat/humidity was tough and it felt like 20 miles!  My shin felt OK and it didn't swell up to a giant mess so that is a good sign  Today I ran 6 miles.</p>

<p>Is it margarita time yet <br>
