Hello all. Sorry for not posting this week. To be honest there was nothing to post. I either have not been able to run, or was not in the mood. My goal is to start fresh tomorrow.
One thing to chat about...distance. Here is something to know.
5K =3.1 miles
8K = 4.97 miles
10K = 6.2 miles
Half marathon = 13.1 miles
Marathon= 26.2 miles
It could be no one has explained that to some of you, and I want you to know. Why? It seems to be a pet peeve of many runners when we talk about a race, and someone gets the distance wrong, or just calls it a marathon.
Charlie: Yeah...I have a 5K this weekend.
Dude: Yeah? How is long is the marathon?
You may giggle, but I get that, and so do many of my fellow runners. No matter how many times we try to explain, it goes in one ear, and out the other to some. So now you know.

Hey, Charlie - I'm glad to see you back. A fresh start sounds like a good idea. As a matter of fact, I've been Not Writing for a week or so, so I'll take your suggestion and start afresh. Thank you.
Don't worry - some people are so THICK!! Glad to see you are still keeping the faith and never losing hope. Way to go Charlie. Fiona.
