    Did you complete a C25K program and actually run a 5K?

    Yep. I used it to train for the color run last spring. Loved it, ran a 5k easily. Took some time off when life got in the way and re-used it but only halfheartedly and ended up getting injured at my zombie run in October, almost broke my ankle. I am reusing it now to train and get my 5k base back, and after that I will move on to a 10k

     

    ETA: check out Run The Edge too, they have various programs and they get really good reviews

    I was surprised

    My husband loves long hair on me. Mine is so heavy and thick that it causes headaches. His criteria for long is able to run this fingers through it. I have a pixie cut now and we have had a few disagreements about the length but ultimately he says "it's your hair". I'm in he process of growing it out now

    Could we do a "confessions" here....

    I confess that even though I love my DD's passion, and I'm willing to support her in it, I rather wish she weren't so focused on animals that could kill her, most of which live on other continents. I really don't want to be raising the Dian Fossey of endangered snakes.

      

    Did you steal my kid? Lol

     

    I confess this has been a rough morning, but if I have to hear one.more.single. condescending 'she is FOUR!' Comment, complete with utter looks of scorn, eye-rolls, and sarcasm? I refuse to be responsible for my reaction. I am sorry it is 'strange' that she wants to read to the other kids, or decided to regale you with her list of Fibonacci numbers when you wanted her to paint the letter A with a q-tip.

    Yes. I am very, very aware if that. It is why I regularly bring her to your play-based, non-academic preschool.

    Besides! Why on earth do they feel the need to tell me? Could someone please tell my kid instead, lol?

     

    My dd loves play based 5k at a local church. She technically would be in 5k this year but she is so far above that that the teachers are confused as to what to do with her

     

     

    I confess that I occasionally tell my 4 y/o to "just shut up" (in a smiling but firm manner). She has been speaking in paragraphs since she was 1, and it seems like she never stops talking. She is fascinating to listen to, but sometimes I just need to be able to think in peace.

    I also confess I remember being the same way as a child and my mom telling me to "shut up". I think I need to go buy her some flowers ;)

      

    I tell dd to shut up because it is non stop. I have recently begun tuning her out unless she changes tone. Has gotten me in trouble because I have given her permission to do silly things by not paying attention

     

    When DD was about that age I was still doing a regular comic on a web site-which tended to reflect my life at the time. This was inspired by a true event.
