Marathons, 1/2s, and 10Ks oh my!

Ugh tendonitis would suck, especially when you were doing so well!! I need to start training again, I'm doing a marathon in December but not really making it a competitive one. I qualified for Boston this year, so I'll train good for that one. The training is fun, but does get old. I usually start 12 weeks out, so I'm a tad behind.

Thanks for the skirt compliment. I am in love with them!! Plus they make wedgies a little more discreet!

How's everyone's running going?  I'm 2 weeks out from my marathon in Chicago (yaaaaay!)....which means that The Future Mrs. Thompson is 2 weeks away from being a bride.

I'm loving the running skirt too, btw.  I was dead set again buying one, but once I tried one I really liked it.  Plus, they are better at hiding the running brief wedgie;)

Hey ladies, I have my 1/2 on Sunday.  In hindsight, training would have been a good idea.  Oh well, I am still looking forward to it.

Good luck ladies!!  I'm just in the 2nd week of my training so nothing too tough yet.  Can't wait to hear how it went

YAY! Good luck! You'll do great! I'm so jealous of everyone's races coming up!

 

I just started training for the Vegas marathon 2 weeks ago. I did a 14 miler and 16 miler. 18 and 20 before I leave for the wedding. Then who knows how it will go when we get back......

Hey ladies, I had an amazing time at my half marathon yesterday.  I didn't even begin to feel tired until 15 kms in, not until 500 m from the finish did I really start to hurt.  My goal was 2:15 and I did it in 2:14:42.  I always forget how amazing it feels to do one of these.  I can't wait for my next race.  There is a 30 km race they do around here in March, I think I will sign up for that.  Sort of my test to see if I can get to a full.  Good luck to everyone who has a race coming up.

Congrats!!  Now you have the bug;)  YES, you can totally do a full if you've done a half.  I ran Chicago last weekend and LOVED it, except that it was 86 degrees F when we finished!  Plus, I'd had a fever for 72 hours prior to the race, so I felt a bit deflated.  I did run my fastest time yet though, but was not satisfied with my time....thus I'm already planning my next marathon.

Hey ladies, I did a 10 k on Saturday.  It was the zoo run which is a run through the local zoo.  I love that race but it was super hilly so it was a bit of a pain on my knees.  Then yesterday, I did a half marathon.  I beat my time in the one I did 3 weeks ago.  Only by a few minutes but not bad considering I did the 10 k the day before. 

 

Greysgirl, congrats on your marathon!!!!!!! That's awesome!

[RunningBride24]

Wahoo ladies!

 

Greysgirl, glad it went well and good luck with your next! They are so addicting! How did you finish?

 

Cindy, nice work on the 10k an the 1/2!! Haha you're an animal!

 

I just registered for Boston this morning! So excited! But I have the Vegas full in December and I'm so far behind on training, yikes! I need to get my butt in gear!
