Re: Boston Marathon 2013
Relieved to read that there were no Maniac runners or family members/friends physically injured from this very sad event. The emotional scars may never go away, but be lessened by the sense of community from this site as well as from being involved in the running community. Deep sadness can not be s...

Marg, The heat and humidity of late will certainly have a draining effect on your body, and your mind will begin to think you're not ready. You are ready. You've done the work and now it is just a matter of showing up. Think of it as a regular training run and that will keep any pressure in tact. Wh...

Heather, Brian's report was a very emotional read. I am glad you came away with minor injuries based on your description. It could have been so much worse. More importantly, you both came out of this much stronger in many ways. Best wishes going forward. Hopefully, this experience is the worst of it...

Heather and Brian, Reading this report hit home with a lot of emotion since I now can appreciate what went through you to see Heather down on the ground. To carry on without your partner and perform for the two of you is a real measure of how much each of you mean to one another. To see Heather back...

Midge, Congratulations on another well run marathon. When you figure out how to resolve the difference, fill me in. The closest I have been is 13 minutes. I thought for sure I would finally meet the one and only Midge, but that was not to be. Hopefully, some time soon. Best of luck with your trainin...

Lisa, By all accounts, you have more things to be stressed out about than over one race. Those other stressors took you out of the game from the get-go. One race or a few bad runs will not change who you are and what you've accomplished. You will get that fire back...you know it because you're alrea...

Keep up the great work. Keep on strea...

Marg, Comparing races is a waste of time. Nothing to compare to besides the overall distance which should be the same. Everything else is out of your control. Whenever you're up to getting a few runs in together, let me know. You already know what it takes, and with your energy and enthusiasm, you w...

Hello Nature Girl. Welcome to RM. I can't speak about the changes that may occur during pregnancy, but I have to agree with the previous responders in that your feet may have changed. You mention you are a pronator and your shoes "should be all right". How old are your shoes and have you been using ...
