Runners?

i also have had knee trouble in the past with road running so i took up trail running. make sure you get a very good pair of shoes, they make a huge difference. trails are alot easier on your knees as the ground has give unlike paved roads. not sure what options you may have in lethbridge but on mountain trail/ road mixed race i was able to do 30km which i would not want too do on road alone.

Mwahahaha!!!! Well.... Walking

is going great. The pug has been my partner.... But tonight I strapped on the nike's.... Got half a block and had to go faster. Not for long mind you but it was a half arsed jog... I alternated between walking and what probably looked like a zombie run lmao. But under the cover of darkness it probably didn't look half as stupid.

....I don't remember the last time I sweat soo much

I feel pretty good though.

Yeah it's a strange thing to get addicted to isn't it? Ditch the pug you know he'll only slow you down. Tough love.

Good on ya! Half marathons are a lot of fun if you are into that sort of thing... And when I say "that sort of thing" I mean pain and agony, of course.

Of course!!

Kewl!!!! When is it?? My plan is to stroll the pug until spring is on the horizon. Then I'm going to work to run 5k hell or highwater....Then maybe even sign up for a 5k run once I know I can do it. I wish you an injury free time in your mission for the half marathon.. What's your motivation?

The race is May 15, lots of time. Motivation is just to do it. Then maybe a marathon, or a triathalon, although my swimming needs some work
