Ahhh Thursday, my cross training day. Did an intense Cycle class this morning. Getting a weight bench and weights from a friend this evening so loading them up will be my late night mission.

I am taking a long shot at a PB on this course... that being said I am tempted to do an event this weekend in my home town and the half is really calling my name. Would the 10k be smarter knowing that this will only be a week away?

Im thinking I may give this a whirl next year. I have always wanted to but then when I remember about it, its already sold out.

what a great day. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out and made today what it was!!

I will be running the half. First time on this course...

Oh my goodness this looks like so much fun. I am in for the Toronto date!

I have seen a combo of sleeve and sock too where it is almost a styrup at the bottom near the foot so there is still compression in the ankle area but not on the foot. I am more interested in these for recovery or as pre run regime. I like the more "free" and "natural" feel of my...

I have compression pants and Love them. I am an advocate of listening to my body and I feel like my calves need a good smushing for lack of a better word more so after but would try during. Thanks for the feedback. My brother said for my bday (since he didnt know what to buy me) that I can go to the...

I am considering investing in compression socks. Wondering if anyone out there has found benefits of wearing them and if so what... I have done some research online but I am wanting some real life feedback on them..

did the 10k run for retina this morning, a last minute decision an hour and a bit before race time. I finished the martian half marathon yesterday. First ever back to back events and feeling great...

It starts about a week before. I start thinking about tripping on rocks, any odd cracks in pavement that could injure an ankle. I check the pedals extra carefully on the spin bikes just in case its slightly off and injures my knee or ankle. A few days later this paranoia subsides and then the "...

What a beautiful day here. Went for a solid 5k today feeling good for tomorrow.

Safe travels to all those Boston Bound. Remember to smile and enjoy every moment!

Love the blog sharing. I get so sucked into reading people's blogs I forget I need to sleep!

cross training with some spin today! Have a great Thursday everyone!!

Looking for some motivation to get back on track with training. I am supposed to be running a half this weekend and have not yet registered....really want to but feeling reluctant. Whats up with that tuesday?

congrats!!

Its been an interesting start to the day thats for sure. Plans got shifted around but I decided to go for a 5k. Let me tell ya, it was not good. I felt like I weighed 500 pounds plus my actual body weight. I was feeling down about how bad my body felt but got some thinking time in. When I returned h...

Did some circuit training this morning and then a short 5k this evening. Holy its cold here. First time ever running in sweat pants and I am glad I did...

Thank you so very much for this. I book marked it. Definately will watch again regardless of how much I am crying right now.

You know your body better than anyone. Listen to what it is asking for you will get where you want to be just be patient with yourself

I did the half marathon running group through Runners Choice in London which really helped me a long the way. I am thinking I will do the same for the full, as long as it works out with my work schedule. I work afternoons so it I do my weekday runs in the mornings where most groups do them in the ev...

Anyone in here running in Windsor on Sunday?

Thank you so so so much for all your warm greetings and great suggestions. I will definately be checking them out. Now I may end up on the other side of having too many marathons that I want to do and needing to choose one :) I am glad to have found a forum to ask these questions, I do not have many...

Thank you..crossing the finish line is the only goal for my first time. I will enjoy every step of the way, thank you!

I am new to Running Mania and cannot believe the number of folks on here with similar interest. I feel like I am in heaven No run for me today cross trained with some spinning this morning!
