Hey all, thought I would pop in a say hi! I haven't been running much lately, schedules and fatigue are taking their toll but, such is life. Weight is staying the same (+/- 1-2 pounds) so I am okay with it for now. Will be glad when school starts up again and we get into a routine again. I go for another fill on the 19th which I hope will help get these last few pounds off. No more races till September and I am still toying with training for a half mary. I see my oncologist in September and want to check with her first though, since my fatigue seems to be increasing. Anyway... Anyone interested in the Nike+ system? I have a 2 month old sensor (my first one died after 2+ years), receiver, 2 different shoe holders and armband...all you would need is the nano (or touch or 3GS). $25 plus shipping. I've been using runkeeper on my iphone when I run and love it.

Hey all, just thought I would pop in and say hi! My running has been slacking since the Gate to Gate, I have been swimming instead (I was a competitive swimmer in HS and college then stopped). I forgot how much of a workout it is. My next race isn't until fall, it is just too darn hot here. Everyone is doing wonderful and even though I don't pop in much, I'm still reading!

I just got home from my Gate to Gate 4.4 mile race and came in sub-50 at 49:36!! This is *the* race I have been training for. I didn't sleep at all last night, stressed that I wouldn't do very well, since my training have been off since my gall bladder surgery and recent illness. I even forgot to eat before heading out...LOL! I made it though! I think I am done racing till fall though, it is starting to get oppressively hot for running here...we shall see though, I love the hype on race day!

I was 234 (by doc scale, 232 at home) and 5'3". High blood pressure was my only co-morbid as well, but I did have a letter from my oncologist (I have leukemia) recommending it as well in the packet.

Okay, I finally ran yesterday...first time since last Friday. Mentally it was not a good run, I have too much on mind to "lose" myself in it like I normally do. I ran though... Kathy, get your butt out there and RUN ! It is mind numbing to me and I have to have my music whereas when I run outside, I don't. The other option in the dead of summer is 97 degrees at 9pm, so no true choice. There is also MapMyRun.com - Map your Running Routes. Find Runs. Join our Community of Running. Runner Social Network.

WTG!! I don't think a half mary is a long goal? That's what I am aiming for by spring! Yay, glad you had a good (Accident free) run. I love to run outside, but it is simply too hot here already. I ran outside last Friday morning and about died..86 degrees and 84% humidity.

I officially weigh once a week, otherwise my normal fluctuations which you will have depress me.
