Man... how did the date get here so fast.

I've run the Indy Mini-marathon the last 2 years, but I had to walk some last year b/c it was soooo hot.

I'm in better shape this year, but it is always difficult to run 13 miles and some change!

I consistently run 5 miles, and I have made 6, 7, and 8 mile runs. My goal is to do a 10 mile run tomorrow, and you can all call me a slacker if I don't!

Anyway wish me luck, and if you really want to support me... let me hand you a baton at about the 8 mile marker!

:biglaugh:

I'll take the baton if you carry me the rest of the way.
Before the baby came, I was ready but I haven't run in three weeks. I think I may be walking quite a bit this Saturday.

I hit the road at 6:30 a.m. and I am happy to say that I did the 10 miles and still felt like I had something left to give.

So, I'm feeling really good about my chances.

I think psychologically I needed to get to that 10 mile mark. I never ran further then 8 miles last year.

Well, the weather was perfect this morning and I hope for cool weather this weekend.

I'm not sure If I can survive Barney, "But anything is possible if you just use your imagination!" ;)

Way to go! I think running the 10 miles would be easier than sitting through Barney. :lol:
I wish I could run. Hurts the shins too much. I have to stick with walking. Walking is the best thing for a bad back. Studying this last month for Bible Bowl took my morning walk time. Today was my first day back on a walking regimen. My back was really get tight on me. Hurts like the devil today from all the sitting over the weekend.
