Thanks so much. I never thought I’d do it, but I progressed into it. You’d be surprised how fast you progress when you do it everyday. I think about every 3 weeks I see improvement. 🙂
I’d ride my bike for 10 miles easy enough, but I could never run that far. My ankles and knees would detach themselves off my legs and start beating me to death if I tried.
Yeah, I used to bike quite a lot and I’d do 14+ miles with a baby in the baby seat attached to the back. I used to take my daughter everywhere! I still like to bike, but it is more convenient for me to just get out and run and the running actually gets me so high I don’t think I can do without it anymore. I’m pretty much addicted. 🙂
Same here. I love weight training and hiking/backpacking (5-20 miles for a day hike), but running just isn’t my thing. I’ve tried to get myself into it many times, but I always quit within a week or two.
Congrats, MsMercury. I understand your alone time comment. I run as well. usually between 5-7 miles.
There is a Thanksgiving day 10k here that I have run in for the past 12 years. Unfortunately, I fell and broke a rib a week ago, so will not be able to run or workout at all for the next 6 weeks.
Congratulations again. And good luck on working up to a marathon. That is a HUGE challenge and commitment.

Thanks! I have to admit, it really wasn’t much of a challenge. I thought it would be really grueling or something. I think 15 miles would be a challenge. Yeah, that alone time is very necessary if I’m going to stay somewhat sane!! Wow, I’m sorry to hear about your misfortune! 6 weeks is a long time not to be able to do your exercises! Sorry you’ll be missing out on the Thanksgiving day run. 🙁 I do other types of working out as well. I’m currently doing a program called “Convict Conditioning”. Have been into it about 6 months now. I used to do kettle bells, which was fun. I like to try different things, but I think running is here to stay. I just might try a marathon someday, but only for the sake of doing it and getting through it. I can’t actually race. My pace is slow and steady and focused on distance. I only run about 6 to 6.5mph on average. Once in awhile I can go a bit faster, but there is no need for me to do so.
Good luck on your recovery!! :):):)
I smoke a pack a day while sitting on my ass for at least 16 hours… I get that runner’s high from a flight of stairs.
