I hope so, Rach .. today, I feel a bit down. All I did yesterday was apply apply apply .. and so far, only one call and that didn't work out because it would be a 50 mile each way commute through Tampa traffic! I know, I know, patience.................

I think I need to go for a LONG RUN.

Why not change paths. How much do elite runners get paid anyway?

LOL. Big Huge to BETTY you will find work and it'll be something you love I know it.

As for running in London that would be really cool I would love that My Grandma is from there she immigrated to Canada with my Grandad she was a war bride. LOL

Today is a bigger run again I am not too sure where I will fit it in just that I will it's 4 today YUPPER 1 hour running for this girlie and then I stretch HE HE. I am going to start to take only 2 days off Monday and Saturday Cause my body really wants to do this my milage for my long run goes to 8 this week then down to 5 next week is that ok. I think it's to give the body a break for the next push right..

Any how I'll be outthere no worries and I would love to find a job that paid me by the mile. My really huge thing would be posing in a Baithing suit and looking HOT.

ABSOLUTELY! Matter of fact, most experienced runners recommend doing just that. Up your miles and then cut them back for awhile, then increase again. Keeps the body guessing!

You're doing fabuloso, chickie!

Oh, I had to resort to putting bandages under my arms I haven't been able to get that stuff you suggested cause of money issues. I am thinking of getting myself a running shirt with short sleeves that would probably cure the problem till I can buy the stuff.

Re: Cool Running for the week of August 14, 2005

Well gang, I survived 6.2 brutal miles today .. ugh. I *must* be insane. The heat index is 106. Yep, I'm insane. Perhaps we should consider changing the name of this thread to something like TORTUOUS RUNNING?

Sarah, thanks for your kind words!! Hon, look at you in those skinny jeans!! Everytime I see that pic I think how totally awesome you are!!

As for the armpits .. try some vaseline and see if that helps!

Re: Cool Running for the week of August 14, 2005

I went and did my 4.2 miles in 60 minutes it was a long sustained run for me I had a couple of bursts where I increased the speed all in all a great run. I am getting to be about 10 days from TOM so I am feeling a little more draggy but, I get out there and it feels great.

Re: Cool Running for the week of August 14, 2005

Hi all! Thanks for all of the info and encouragement. I'm sure I'll need more of both once I get into this!

Effie, I'm so glad you've decided to join me! I always like having somebody new with me!

I haven't started yet. I have it all printed out and ready to go, but I want to make sure I am fully prepared and have all of the info I need. I am going to go shoe shopping as soon as I have time (work has been killing me). I have been using the same walking shoes for over 3 years, and even when I've just gone for my walks I keep thinking "I really need to get new shoes with more support". I also want to get a stop watch.

So, I think I'm going to get fully prepared and start this weekend.

PS...Betty...I saw the pic of your toenails and it really grossed me out!!! I'm kind of attached to my toenails and wearing sandals and getting pedicures!

Re: Cool Running for the week of August 14, 2005

Yeah, Nikki, I understand about the toe nails... I was attached to mine, until they fell off! Don't worry, you have a long time before you lose yours .. it took me nearly 3 years.
