Marathon training

[cp1999]

I am feeling better. Thanks for asking. Hopefully I can get caught up on training this week. I did get outside for a little walk today. Only about a mile. Still a little chilly for my liking. The sun is deceiving!

Lori good to hear you are feeling better.

[quote=cp1999;611615]Well I have completed the challenge for this month. I bought an elliptical from Wal-Mart last night. I needed something to train with when I can not run because I have to watch my 18month old. I plan on using it while she naps. I used it last night and I love this thing. quote]

I knew you guys would love this machine. It is by far the best piece of equipment we own! Kind to your legs.

I think the winter blues has got me down. I can't seem to get focused again after being sick. I'm really sick of all this snow and cold weather.

Hopefully I can get back on the treadmill today.

I WANT SOME SUNSHINE!!!

I had a cold that just dragged on and on last month. It was so frustrating trying to run when I was so congested. Take it slow and easy and hopefully some exercise will make you feel better.

The 1/2 marathon is now CLOSED for registration. Hope you all got registered.

This year the races are/have filled up faster than ever it seems like. The races are really starting to grow in popularity a lot every year.

How's everyone doing?

[mattj4226]

I'm doing pretty well. I'm now able to powerwalk roughly 7 miles and jog 1. That is my maximum right now. I'm hoping to push that up a little next month.

Most of us "Team Voice"ers have moved over to the all about the mouse fourms (where we belong I guess). If you want to check up on everybody else, you might want to check there.

Hey Matt

Have not seen you around much, hope it is because you are training very hard and getting ready for graduation!

Checked up on you. Ten pounds lost, Wow! At this rate you'll hit your August goal. Happy Dance again .

Hey Gabe!!! I've been busy with school (almost over thank God!) and training, so I haven't been on DWT for a few weeks. Glad to be back though! Thanks for stopping by the blog, stop by anytime!

I went to a specialty running store the other day and got fitted for proper running shoes. I hope to try them out here tomorrow. I need a bit of stability since I had some slight turning of the ankles, so here's hoping they help. I also hope to start running outside to get used to running a surface other than a treadmill.

[lorilovestigger]

The right shoes are important! Believe me, I'm on pair #3 and finally got a pair I like. Make sure to not wear cotton when you run. And get the right socks too.

How's everyone else doing??
