I’m sorry about your headache! Glad it is gone now.

Your comment got me motivated to just get registered for the Van Lake 1/2 Mary and force myself to be ready. Guess what? The sucker is already filled. Registration opened 11/1 and was filled by 11/5.

Crap.

Sorry about your owie. That sucks. I’m having a hard time staying on plan. The weather has been gorgeous, tho, and that helps.

Good for you for getting back out there. Soon you will feel the compulsion to run all of the time again. Take care of that knee, you don’t want an injury to sideline you

I have tried to modify the Higdon schedule so as not to be off by a whole week since I was sick for a few days last week. So this week I ran 2.5 Monday, 3.5 Tuesday, 2 Wednesday and just shy of 2.5 today. Rest Friday, cross train Saturday, 5 miler on Sunday. I hope I am up to it!!

Good for you for getting out in the rain. I went to the gym and used the treadmill, but there is no way I will survive a five mile run on the treadmill. I will quit. I know I will. I am a big quitter on the treadmill and it is so easy to just shut that sucker down. At least outside, when you get 2 miles away from home, quitting is not so attractive, because you’ve still got to get home anyway, and running is a faster way to do it than walking.

My goal for Sunday is five miles in one hour, nice and easy jog the whole time. God, I hope the weather is okay.

I ran in the light rain today. I am not going to run in hard rain. I’m just not. I’ll use the treadmill at the stuffy workout room at Marshall Center instead. It’s kind of depressing, but it’s better than saying “I’ll start running again next year,” which is what I’d say if I had no choice but running in the rain.

How perfect has this weather been? It’s like God wants me to run, knowing that it only takes a tiny bit of bad weather to turn me into a whining wimp.

Comment on Thighs are rubbing me the wrong way by utrwr

to get your inner thighs to stop burning, try applying vaseline to the area before your run. Also, if you are running in spandex, you may have an allergy to spandex (also called lycra) that is causing the burning. That burning should not be happening. Do you have any other skin rash or sensitivity issues? I stay away from lycra as much as possible, go for flat seams in the inseam. Prana makes some shorts out of all nylon that are stretchy, if you want stretchy. I agree with the person who suggested going up a size. I wish you the best in your efforts!

THANKS!! Spandex has actually helped. It was skin against skin before and that was why it was burning. I am hoping by next short wearing season that it won’t be an issue.

Was the reunion last night??? How was it???

My four mile run was great, for which I am so thankful because my Wednesday three mile run was total shit.

YES, WE CAN GO FURTHER THAN FOUR MILES, I KNOW WE CAN.
