I’m a planner, perfectionist, and hard on myself if you weren’t aware of that by now. Well, I got knocked down last night. After a tiresome day I bent down to give my kitties a treat & a shooting pain shot up my back nearly paralyzing me. My first ... read more

It was just me and my MP3 Player today. After a long day I parked in Stephens City and went for a wondering around run a lot of it being along Rt. 11. I thought of Matt while running along Rt. 11 :-) I was hoping to go slightly faster, but the route h... read more

We ran the same exact mileage today. Yours was much faster! I ran for a time along Rt. 11 (from Burger King to McDonald's by Handley) plus lots of other places. Great job on your solo run.

Met up with Keri this evening for an enjoyable run in Stephens City. I felt for the first time this year that hot feeling like when I might want to start bringing some water with me. You know I wished for the warmer weather for so long, I wonder how lo... read more

@ All: You are far too kind, but I do appreciate the support. I'm trying not to think about AB, I get more nervous for that than I do a marathon! I guess b/c it's "our local race". LOL.

I got home at 9:15 after a long day and hadn’t eaten dinner nor worked out. So I just had to get something in so I got on my treadmill and forced a 2-miler followed by 10 mins on the elliptical. Mondays are not my friend! Oh how I look forward to Tue... read more

Amy did a elliptical workout for 1 hour alrightSunday Cross Training – 01:00
An hour on the elliptical with forty minutes of it having weighted gloves on. My stomach is not feelng the greatest today so I didn't push it too much. I wanted to get this in though to burn some pre-SVR banquet calories :-)

Thanks all. @ Ryan, well thank you. I guess everything one does is cumulative, but I would have to say that probably 1/2 of it is genetics. I have one girl cousin who is so ripped that if you met her in a dark alley you would run the opposite direction!

Amy ran 8.26 miles in 1 hour and 14 mins and 20 secs greatThursday Longer Friend Run – 8.26 mi / 01:14 08:59 pace
I had a work conference today so I got done shortly after 4 & met Keri for a run in Stephens City around 4:45PM. The nicer weather is liberating! It was a tad bit windy, but beggers can't be choosers. I enjoyed this run.

Very nice pace on your run! I know exactly what you mean about the water. I really do a poor job of keeping myself hydrated while at work. I should probably start bringing a water bottle with me too.

Good run and good lesson learned. Hope you can force the water to help you in your runs. Pace and mileage both look great!

That stinks! Sorry to hear about your injury. Hopefully, it's just a back spasm that doesn't give you any more problems. Take it easy, get some stretching in, and hopefully you can still do your run on Tuesday.
about 8 hours agoI'm sorry to hear about your pain/injury. I also think you're way too hard on yourself. Things happen and I doubt it's because you didn't say hi or are working out too much. Stop putting the blame on yourself.
about 5 hours agoYou'll bounce back from this in no time.
Oh no that stinks. I agree with Matt stop being so hard on yourself. Take some time and take care of you.
about 2 hours agoOh no, Amy. Get some R&R this weekend and you'll be back up and running in no time!
