I want to jump into marathon training within a couple days of Howl. I'll load up a few more Zep songs and look forward to seeing you next weekend.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-61790929353160945402009-07-30T17:15:05.844-05:002009-07-30T17:15:05.844-05:00I'm with Heidi.

I have about 15 miles under my belt in that time, but I plan to go out an just have a Howl of a time. Maybe we can walk some miles together to talk about 5Fingers and Zepplin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-80060643462639755332009-07-29T13:03:04.927-05:002009-07-29T13:03:04.927-05:00My solution was to apply bubble wrap and foam padd...My solution was to apply bubble wrap and foam padding to the offending corner on my work desk. Probably not as easy to do for McDonalds tables. Good luck and have fun! I'm going to attempt an 8+-mile run in New Orleans; it's the weekend before the 10k I am hoping to run on 8/30 (Lisle Windrunners Danada trail 10k) so I need to get a good one in.Heidi E.

Nice to know I'm not alone. Hope all of you recover quickly and have great future races. I'll be at Howl. Not sure what my goal will be, but I'll be there. At worst, I'll run a few laps and then volunteer.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-32465675411315323682009-07-28T12:48:47.468-05:002009-07-28T12:48:47.468-05:00Do it, but give yourself a free pass this year to ...Do it, but give yourself a free pass this year to take it easy. Don't set any goals whatsoever except to have fun and enjoy yourself. <br /><br />I suffered an injury thanks to a piece of furniture in May and my marathon plans were destroyed (running Buffalo Trace post-injury didn't help, either...). I have been back to running for 7 weeks now and doing OK; I am taking it very easy and gradually adding miles. I am debating doing a 10k at the end of August but I keep telling myself, "No pressure..."Heidi E.

I'm pretty darn sure I'm doing it and I'll try my best, but have more realistic goals (40 miles?) instead of a new PR. If my friend Brian Kuhn can WALK 41 miles at Howl, I should be able to jog/walk 40!Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-74664241085115843732009-07-28T09:35:25.732-05:002009-07-28T09:35:25.732-05:00I started off this year with some lofty goals.

Same goes for Mc N. Dropped down at Mt.Mitchell and DWD wisc. I ran my slowest 5k ever! I did have two PR's but every step forward feels like two steps back. I can relate. I am pulling back on my HOWL goal. There are 12 of us coming from Muscatine and we plan on camping and enjoying the entire weekend... If I dislike the race outcome I will still enjoy the ambiance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059240688248830489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-76439754791565740312009-07-28T08:43:46.019-05:002009-07-28T08:43:46.019-05:00Thanks Brian.
