Goal: 10K in June-Have Questions
Thanks Wendy, and congrats on your progress! I'm definatley getting addicted. I find myself driving back roads to my mom's house, the next town over, and marking mileage. When I realized the back route to the QFC nearest her home was equivelant to a half marathon, I about fainted. But I held it together, because after all, I was driving! My initial goal was to do a half marathon in 2010. Maybe after I get the 10K behind me, I can look forward to a fall half marathon. I will probably map a route near home and give it a try.
I'm going to have to get the nerve up to try the gels. I so do not want to dump. I've had only one experience, that being with one dried prune, which I loved pre-op, and apparently with the concentrate sugars, well it was too much. Haven't tried anything dried since them.
I like the idea of oatmeal and a banana beforehand. I feel great after cool down from a run, and the next day, not as sore as I used to be. Better each time. I hear ya about the knees. Genetically my family is cursed with crappy knees, so I make sure to watch my step and do stretches to strengthen.
Thanks again, and good luck in March!!

Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
