I too am chomping at the bit to get an outside run in soon. I got one in and then switched it up this week and did a biking/elliptical workout and then today didn't feel so good, so I took a break. Tomorrow is busy...but I am hoping for a free window!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-70284835022864966132007-08-16T12:29:00.000-07:002007-08-16T12:29:00.000-07:00Thank you, thank you, thank you girls!

I went on my lunch break today and got some body glide, little pads to put in my shoes and help my suspected neuroma feel better, some Clif energy chews, and a brand new jog bra. I'm so excited to run on Saturday now. Ben's going golfing in the morning, and I'm going to run the whole time he's gone!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Tib - I'm so excited for the kick Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409767497696978361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-75542223374252311002007-08-16T11:49:00.000-07:002007-08-16T11:49:00.000-07:00Christie I only run when I am chased so I have no ...Christie I only run when I am chased so I have no advice - but I think you will fall madly in love with kickboxing tonight. :)<BR/><BR/>It has given me the oomph I needed to enjoy hitting the gym everyday - hopefully it will relight your fire!tiburonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196432617889251213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-51737675981597480402007-08-16T10:53:00.000-07:002007-08-16T10:53:00.000-07:00I'm with Jess- FINISHING a full marathon is worthy...I'm with Jess- FINISHING a full marathon is worthy of celebration wherever you happen to place.<BR/><BR/>If you're feeling a little unmotivated now- take a night off. Do something you love, go to bed early, get some rest, eat something you usually don't let yourself. Just a small indulgence- see if that gets you fighting again.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck, Christie- you CAN do it!!

I know you'll do better than you think. If you do finish last, it would still be better than those that didn't run the race.<BR/><BR/>Know what I mean?!Jess Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034701149199420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-54501515188106759222007-08-16T07:59:00.000-07:002007-08-16T07:59:00.000-07:00Hey girl! Don't worry about the marathon. I was ...Hey girl! Don't worry about the marathon. I was worried that I'd be last place in my first one too, but the energy of a marathon is out of this world-- everyone is pumped and there are people cheering along the route to help keep you going. Some people walked the whole thing-- you won't be last. As for long runs, I try to give myself something to look forward to on each long run-- like a new The Rose Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772224785508670805noreply@blogger.com
