1. Happy news... I ran three miles with no pain yesterday. I set out only to do a mile and then half mile increments after that at the slightest speck of ouch in my foot/ankle I would quit. I told myself I would quit for sure at two miles. I admit pushing it to three miles was maybe not the smartest, but at least I stopped it there, it was so nice out I could have kept running and been happy, until my foot decided it was too much.

2. The successful run yesterday gives me hope that maybe I CAN do the Women's Run next weekend. I want to so badly! I know it won't be any sort of an "A" goal type race, but at this point just getting to the starting line and crossing the finish line will be a pretty awesome start in my book. I just wonder if I can relax and just run a race and not race it. I am a teensy bit competitive. I know that I have done so little speedwork this year and none in the last month that I would be foolish to go for it.
3. A girl I used to work with had daughter go missing last Friday from Billings, MT along with another girl. Chy's car was later found in Lewiston, ID abandoned and the most recent report had the girls spotted on the strip in Las Vegas. Here is a link to the latest new story
So if you are in the Las Vegas area or heading there keep on eye out.
Can you just run a race and not try to PR it?
Such great news about the no pain though!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you hear from the doc yet about your foot?? I hope your appointment went/goes well!
ReplyDeleteYou know, for the last year or two, my running has fallen off the wagon so that ALL of my races are just runs with no attempt at a PR. I'm debating trying for a new half in the fall because I think I'm finally ready enough to care :)
ReplyDeleteSo scary about those girls. I hope they're okay.
ReplyDeleteGlad your foot is holding up!
Yay for no foot pain!! That is scary about that girl! Sometimes teenagers make bad decisions and it is so scary!
ReplyDeleteYay for painless running! Hoping it's a start forward. And I saw that about the girl…so sad. I hope it has a good ending.
ReplyDeleteSo glad for no foot pain. And so sorry about the girl. I shared on FB. Hopefully they will be found safe!
ReplyDeleteYikes! That's frightening about those girls!!!
ReplyDeleteThumbs up for no pain! Take it easy... & let your body tell you what to do about your race.
hopefully you are able to get back to running consistently - and nice pic on the side crow position in last post! That is my favorite yoga pose to try lol.
ReplyDeleteScary about the missing girl:( Hopefully she makes it home safely, but she will be in big trouble!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great run:)
Glad you had a good run, and I'm more happy that you stopped before pushing it too much! How scary about those girls :(
ReplyDeleteThe girls missing just breaks my heart-- the family must be hurting so much-- sending prayers that this has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteOn a much lighter note, I have run races without trying to PR, I run some for fun, stopping and taking pictures along the way and others I am just trying to do my best, but know it won't be a pr. Glad you had a good run, such a good feeling! Have a great weekend!
Oh no--how completely terrifying! I followed the link to the report though and am SO thankful that the girls have been found.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hooray for 3 miles!!! I vote running the event for fun, not time.
