^ Wow! What an inspiration.

Ran twice yesterday. 3 mile interval run before work and the 3 miles at my training group last evening. Someday I would like to run all 6 miles at once.

^^^That’s impressive! You could do 6 at once FallGirl - I know you could! - nothing wrong with doing it with a few walk breaks to get your through.

I do often feel like I could run twice in one day - but usually there is some other task that needs to be taken care of!

And I saw that about the 94 year old runner - we can only hope! :slight_smile:

She made it! http://running.competitor.com/2017/06/rock-n-roll-marathon-series/94-year-old-woman-breaks-half-marathon-world-record_164866

She’s a pretty beloved local hero here. She did the full marathon up to age 92. Amazing lady.

I am amazed that she ran after dealing with a major illness at that age!

Happy National Running Day! Personal 5k this morning before work. Everybody run, walk, bike, swim, or whatever for a mile! :slight_smile:

I think it’s actually Global Running Day! 2 miles this morning for my continued taper into Saturday’s race.

You know, I thought so too, but…https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-running-day-first-wednesday-in-june/

There is also a logo with today’s date - but GLOBAL is even more…global!!!

Here I am in West Virginia/ Kentucky for the marathon. I’m terrified, which is ridiculous, but I am.

Hang in there, MOfWC! You will be fine. :slight_smile: Enjoy the race! We will be rooting for you!

Good luck, MoWC!!

Thanks, all. I need to not be doing these…

You will be fine!! :slight_smile: I’m exited for you.

I just signed up for my first race of 2018! Ha, the half I did in April has opened the registration so I figured I’d sign up before the price went up. Too bad I feel completely unprepared for the 10k I have next Saturday…

MOWC, I’m so excited for you and to hear all about it! Good luck!!

Finished! 4:53 and won age group. It was tough. More later. Poor internet.

Wooooo!!! Congrats!!

Awesome MOWC!

Ran 3.5 this morning with some of the coaches and others from the training program. I will miss the next few Sat AM runs for various reasons, but plan to run on my own.

That is a very powerful finish time, MOWC. Very impressive. Kudos!

I’m pretty sore today- mainly my quads. Going down stairs is painful. 2.1 miles this morning.

Someone was asking about sports bras. I thought I’d chime in and say that I just bought 2 sports bras from Victoria’s Secret. I really like them actually. They come in band and cup size, are comfortable and supportive.

I bought them at their annual sale for 19.99. So if they have your size, they might be worth a chance.
