Thanks for the encouragement! I have some new ITB stretches to do for the next few weeks, and I actually made it to the gym on Monday and Tuesday. I’m thinking about a local sprint triathlon in August; maybe the swimming and biking will give me a boost!

Training? What’s that?

Good luck running and training. You’ll get back into the swing of things.

Girl, hang in there. I know what you mean. In response to your comment on my Xanga this weekend, I would love to run with you during the week! I don’t know about the biking, as I don’t have a bike rack for my car. Are you still going to the Y any? Up for some serious Toning to the Max??? I’m going to start doing some spinning in this “off” season for me before I start running again with the Ridge Runner folks again this summer. One thing though, don’t think of yourself as not a runner if you don’t do the long distances…that totally doesn’t matter. Get some PR’s on those short races! The squirrel race is coming up!

Text/call me sometime soon. Let’s meet up!

Man, do I know where you’ve been. My best advice is that you prepare for the mental depression or whatever it was I had that first spring we ran together. Love you.

I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time with long runs. But, no matter what, you ARE a real runner - you’re getting out there and competing which is all that matters!

I’m sure you’ll do great in your upcoming races - I hope you can meet your PR goals.
