Maybe you start with a commitment to run 1 mile and see how it goes? Sometimes we longtime runners view 3 as an absolute minimum, but for the rest of the world, 3 can be long way. In any case, please be nice to yourself. ❤️

Great job being stronger than your excuses!! That's the way I trained for my April marathon. Even if I felt awful I would make myself get on my treadmill and I just started at a really slow pace. I usually ended up cranking up the pace and having a pretty good run. Don't think. Just go.

Goal: don't get last in the pro field, which will be a tall task! Thank you for the shout out.

that is the sweetest story.. best thing I've heard all year ;-) so sorry about Brady. My poor old dog got cancer, still missing him.. https://dkretzmann.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-good-dog.html

Happy New Year ! Congratulations to you and T-Rex, that is tremendous news. Well done to all. Our younger is trying college again in a month, we'd prefer to let him have more time to recover his health, but they will withdraw his academic scholarship if he doesn't go back now. We can't afford that college without the scholarship.. so.. praying hard ;-) Meantime he's teaching coding 3 days a week to make some pocket money.. I like Roger Robinson (age 80-plus) on running while old, https://www.podiumrunner.com/training/seven-principles-for-setting-goals-during-your-running-comeback

Congrats!! I love that you both had the same idea. Sorry Brody isn't doing well.

May 2022 be a big rebound year for you.

Congrats! I'm so happy that you have found love and happiness!

Thank you!!! She is amazing!!! I can’t believe how lucky I am! Thank you! ❤️

Ohmygosh ... what a great love story! I am choosing to be very very happy for you because (just about) anyone can be a good partner when everything's jolly -- but only a few special people can hold you up and help you endure the dark times. So rejoice in the fact that you found each other - life is good even when it's hard. Sending positivity to your sweet Brady. ❤️

My heart is so happy and broken for you. I love that Erika had it all planned out too. It was meant to be. Give Brady a little belly rub from me. ❤️

What a crazy world we live in. My heart feels both happy and sad for you.

New day new run Liz! Get out there again!!

GET THE HELL OUT THE DOOR AND RUN, LIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine me in your head, saying, "Get out there, LIz!"

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Dave! I see you have alot to be thankful for, even with your running dropping off. I am in agreement with ocrunnergirl that the important thing is keep moving anyway you can during your recovery.

Merry Christmas, Dave! Congrats on some pretty great family occurrences - grandson, T-Rex graduating!! (and getting married and a job <3) Stick with the PT and do something else in the meantime - row, cycle or weight lift. As long as you keep moving your running will at some point come back to you.
