Nope, I just registered/checked it out this morning. Haven't posted, though.

I'm getting nervous, though - I did 8 miles yesterday and my pace was REALLY off. I did figure out that with my new shoes I need to stretch a little more than I needed to with my old ones - and I was "this close" to stopping after about a mile - but did two loops of my 4 mile course. I 'overhydrated' in between the two loops (took about a 15 minute break) and didn't need my water until well over half-way through that second loop. BUT, I did have to ration myself on the first loop.

I need to get another set of running shorts - but went to Target yesterday and they have NONE! I did get another wicking shirt though, because I decided I needed another light colored one to wear when I'm walking the neighborhood. Dark Blue and questionable lighting just don't go together!

I LOVE google Maps - I was able to just draw a bunch of loops from my house of different lengths that send me through my neighborhood without crossing large streets, and I think the 4 mile loop is the only one that I'm walking on a bigger street at all, and that's just 1 block.
