Had to bail on a 10K over the weekend due to bad back. I sprained it a week ago lifting weights. It's better now, but Saturday morning it was still slightly tender. I 1/2 mile jog around the neighborhood that morning confirmed that it would have been dumb to try to run 10K.

Injuries stink but better to not do the 10k then put yourself out for longer.
Ran today (very slowly!) Still kills me how hard I have to push myself for the short distance that I am running....BUT, I am running, improving and pushing myself! Just like my M I will have patience!

Card29, Sorry about the injury. Have a speedy recovery.
lost18, keep it up. I pushed myself today a bit too. Don't worry about your pace for now, concentrate on distance. as you go more distance, your pace in the first few miles will improve. Remember, you still have a lot of time.
Did you think about doing a 5k as was suggested previously? I have one coming up, but I am so busy that I am chicken to commit right now.
Can you folks check out my thread? I posed a question to the group and I need a little bump. I am not sure what to do and could really use some help before taking a small step.
I haven't ran any races but have good news: I've worked through all of my injuries (fingers crossed). I'm back to running again. I was supposed to run a trail 1/2 marathon next weekend but I haven't trained at all. Am going backpacking instead

All right, I take the reappearance of this thread as a sign. Will someone hold me accountable? If I don't report a minimum of 20 minutes on my treadmill by 9:00 am, you all can call me pudding-butt.
