I hope I can put in a respectable showing even without a PR. It's hard! I'm pretty good about not going out too fast (I might even go out too slow), but not so good about picking up the pace at the end.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-73857697603933788272012-10-12T19:06:29.932-07:002012-10-12T19:06:29.932-07:00I hope he finds a job soon.

He took a job back in May near where we live so he could be back home. We thought it was an answered prayer.<br /><br />It was for a night shift supervisor job-12 hour shifts but only 3 nights each week SOMETIMES 4 nights so plenty of time off. Or so we thought.<br /><br />Now they are working 5-6 nights each week and possibly going to increase to all 7. Sigh. Just when we thought we would have some family time again....However, we are thankful that he has a job.<br /><br />I know things will work out for you and your family, and I think about you often!<br /><br />By the way-your before and after pics are SO inspiring. You go girl!<br /><br />Shannon<br />http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com<br />Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-43359349162309835582012-10-12T07:24:58.792-07:002012-10-12T07:24:58.792-07:00I think your pictures look great Caroline!

I would think if they charged less and had more buyers they would make more money, right??<br /><br />Plus I always look like I'm walking, so blah.<br /><br />I am lucky to be pretty good at pacing. in fact if I settle in to a pace I can usually hit it within seconds for most of the raceRunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-69098710928221749932012-10-12T06:48:43.350-07:002012-10-12T06:48:43.350-07:00You're scrapbooking work is really nice!!

Those school buses make you feel like hell. Good luck to your husband, I'm sure that something will come along soon.

I always used to start too fast, but it's finally working out now!<br /><br />I'm thinking about you and Bill, I know the right thing will come along. I work from home, so they're not all scams! I'm emailing you a link now that could work for something.

Knowing I have x minutes as a buffer makes me feel better, worry less and that means run faster! I would recommend to increase your long runs in training. For a half marathon I would do a few 14 and 15 milers. Prior to the race. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-43821455627125455482012-10-11T15:15:54.719-07:002012-10-11T15:15:54.719-07:00I usually just run by feel.

My runs have a real ebb and flow to them...sometimes it's just one foot in front of the other, and then all the sudden I'll feel awesome and just go with it.<br /><br />PB in race pictures!! Love it! :)<br /><br />And yeah...the whole ride on the school bus thing is NOT a perk of being a teacher.

I am so happy about the weather as well but I heard that we will be back into the 90's next week so enjoy it while it lasts. <br /><br />I am with you and your belief in the banking method which has sometimes proven to be a good method for me too. I am afraid to start slow and finish strong because I am afraid that by the time the end comes I will be dead and the strong finish will be out the window!<br /><br />I think your business is a very good idea and hopefully you will get lots of customers with the holidays coming up.Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.com
