  Hey Sis! I love it when I get to log my miles next to you... makes me feel like we're a team training together, seperately!! You know what I mean.
  Oh, and just so you know, I'm sometimes logging miles for a couple of days. There's no way I could run 8 at a time right now!!!
  
  I hope you are having a great week so far! Thanks also for the info on the bras and the ID band. I'll likely order both.
  
  I LOVE YOU!!!

  When your body is telling you something, you should definitely listen!! I've been running in the Frees every day this week... I LOVE THEM!!! Even though I am not strong enough to maintain the mid-foot strike for the duration of my run, I still find that the shoes are fabulous! I'm good for about 2 miles of mid-foot strike on the treadmill, and a mile or so on pavement.
  
  I hope you have a fabulous evening and weekend!!
  I love you :)

  Good morning! You know, I'm still running 10 minute miles. I can't seem to go any faster unless I'm running a race. Maybe I should fire a gun in the air before I start, just to get my adrenaline going!!!
  
  Are you enjoying your runs in the cooler weather?
  
  I love you!

  Yee haw! I finally feel like I get the mid-foot strike!!! Yesterday was a short run so I could work on my form, and as usual, I started out feeling like a little girl running on my toes. Well, I started imagining myself running backward, like you suggested, and almost instantly found a cadence that felt natural and easy :) I ended up running two miles! Of course, I'm very aware of my calves and butt today, but it was so great to have that breakthrough!
  
  How is your training going?
  
  I love you! Happy Thursday!
  
  Oh, and btw, I woke up this morning feeling much better. No headache, which is the first time that's happened this week :)

  Well, I must be honest and say that the miles I posted today were from Saturday morning. I have been a little out of commission since then... Sunday and Monday I had a horrible headache that kept me in the bed. I don't know if my head has ever hurt so bad!! Good news is that I'm much better today.
  
  I love you! Hope you are having a great afternoon :)

  I feel the same way! It's really encouraging to know that you're out there trudging through hell with me... even if only in spirit! I am so looking forward to when we get to actually run together!!!
  
  I love you!! :)

  I hate the mid-foot strike!! I feel like a prissy girl, running on my toes!! I wish there was a good place here to do some barefoot running, but you know how it is in the south... stickers and sweet gum balls! Ouch!
  I'll stick with it, though.
  
  Love you...

  Good morning! I can just picture you trying to run and duck from the unruly crow! Sorry you're frustrated with your pace. I'm also frustrated... damn the mid-foot strike!! I was so sore by Saturday, I could barely walk from my room to the bathroom.
  
  Just keep at it! Even though running is the thing that is frustrating, it's also a great way to vent! It's gonna be so worth it in December :)
