Last night I ran for an hour, but it was a pain in the behind because a lot of people had walked on the trail then it froze. This made for really uneven and slippery conditions. This hurts my ankles for some reason. I think the idea of going to a bigger city to run is good, normally they have the streets pretty well cleaned, and if you catch it at the right time of day aren't too busy. Good luck with your next run! I like to run in the snow, at least when it is fresh and not too deep.

Gee, thanks! Seriously though, you're right. You do belong here, you can do this. Stay comfortable, have fun, and you'll nail that 5 miler. And the 15k. And the half marathon (hey, its only another 5K). And... and! And on top of all that, I now have “Fly Robin Fly” stuck in my head. Gee, thanks! Seriously though, you’re right.

The funny thing is that the change is all in your attitude, and the ability was there the whole time. Be happy, Lara. I think its going to be a really exciting race season for you. :) She’s hooked! :)

I was all worked up about it before, sweaty palms, nerves shot and so on. If I recall there were over 3000 runners/walkers/crawlers - I felt kinda out of place. But after getting started I realized that, with the exception of about 20% of the "elite" the most were just normal hobby "joggers" like myself. My feelings quickly changed from I-don't-feel-like-I-belong-here to yeah-this-way-too-cool and just an overall feeling of belonging to a super group - on that day I became a RUNNER too! Awesome! Good luck with your 5-miler!! Stan originally from Otsego County, NY Hello Lara,
