Seems like everything is progressing for our posters in a decent way. No packet for me yet either. Sorry if I don't mention everyone by name. I am way behind in this.
Holiday travelers, be safe and have a wonderful holiday!
MelR, tell The Boy that he is the motor! Tee hee! I love your family stories.
Disneefun, thanks for the link to the pic. Im with you; its a hat? Whats with THAT?
Seems your pace will have you among the owners of THAT HAT!
Lynne, glad the orthotics will seem to be doing the trick for you. I think it will be a short adjustment time and you will be feeling much better.
Mel, love the pics you have posted. Thanks for that.
Terri, that is a GREAT pace you have going there.
Heather, hope you find those purple shoes!
Solotraveler, speaking of shoes, I am told if they dont feel good right out of the box that they wont feel good. Im still trying to decide that with one pair of Saucony shoes I have. They are new and Im not sure if they are my happy shoes or not yet.
Lisa, glad you are cleared for take off. You know the drill, dont overdo.
Honibee, your progress is fine. You will have plenty of time to build up that speed for sure. Dont fret too much at this point. Just keep at it!
Wish I lived in Fl said:
...I really want the Mickey medal though. Maybe i could do the Full marathon next year?
Uh oh, looks like more aliens are getting our half team! Keep up with building your base and your training should be allowing you to partake in the full! Get ready as the sign up will most likely be open as we are all participating on our half/full events. Sign up early! Train all year!
I am finally starting to feel better with the back to the point that it has traveled to a different part, but I am guessing that is only b/c of my compensating. This is not nearly as debilitating. Whew! I am hoping it is over!
I have taken some pics of my Happy Place where I trek. I will try to post or make some available. I have fun taking the pics as I go along. The people on the trail laugh at me with my as one guy so kindly described toolbelt. Ive got my camera, phone, and water bottles on the outside with my pouch as well. Oh well, Im happy and dont mind being the laugh of the trail.
My stonker weekend. {{insert huge frowny face here}}. Sunday I did my 16-miler oh so barely. I was hanging around a 16 min pace until the last quarter. Whoooeeee! I really hit a wall and almost totally fell apart. I literally crawled (ending with a 25 min pace!) and could not believe it as my body was shutting down. To say I am disappointed is a huge understatement. It was a most beautiful day on Sunday.--Cool, sunny, perfect. My mental self just fell apart now too. My average pace for the 16 miler ended up being 17:30. Over the summer I was humming with often less than 12 min for some of my times. I know Ive been off the training for one week with nasty intestinal flu followed by a week of back muscle problem, but what the heck? Oh well thanks for letting me whine. I have some serious thinking to do as the next long event approaches. The good news is that right now after my day off I am not really sore as I was yesterday and earlier this a.m.
I was in Cleveland Clinic today for an esophageal manometry. The procedure was not as bad as I expected. I am grateful for that. Hoping the result is in my favor too.
Keep on keepin on team mates!
