Hi! Plantar fascitis can be extremely difficult to treat. Rest and ice are key, and you may need to hold off running even longer - as difficult as that is! I’ll have 5K race training in the Spring and Summer, and hope that you can join us then.

Hi Lynn,
I’m Phoebe McChesney’s sister-in-law. I live in Pawlet and would love to join the group. I am an avid runner (have been so since high school) but I have a nasty case of Plantar’s Fasicitis. I have not run a step in eleven weeks. I got fitted for orthotics the week before Christmas and am painfully breaking them in. It is very slowly getting better. God, how I want to run, but the pain tells me not to. I have never had an injury sideline me for so long. My favorite races are 5k’s. Training for a half marathon would have been something I would have considered before this injury but I need to play it by ear for now. I would be very interested in 5k training and hopefully could join the group in a couple of weeks to a month. Is there room for me? Am I too late?
I was running 28 minute 5k’s last summer. Want to get it under 24 minutes. I know that’s a stretch. I’m 46 years old. My PR for a 5k is 18:31. But that was 22 years ago.
Let me know what you think

Look for a 5K training program later in the Spring! I’ll plan on a group to run the women-only Freihofer 5K in Albany, NY held the first weekend in June. I’ll also have a summer running program that’s designed to increase your speed, fitness and confidence for any distance. Stay tuned!

It would be great if you did a 5K training group for those of us needing to get going, or improve the pace on a 5k…

There’s no word yet from the More folks as to the date of the 2010 race. Last year they were talking about just running a half-marathon, and not including the full marathon.

A good place to search for races is http://www.runnersworld.com

http://www.marathonguide.com has an extensive list of marathons, and many of those also hold a half-marathon.

Hello

Do you know when the MORE 2010 marathon will be? I would also like to know if there will be both a half and a full marathon?

If this is not going to be held in the spring, any tips on women’s half/full marathons in April or May? I would prefer something for women over 40.

Thanks.
Lynn

Hi Lynn, I’m really flexable as to what we do in the spring…………NYC has been fun, but a different half marathon might be really interesting!!!! and challenging……maybe something around Boston for those looking for a city fix!!!

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts about what type of training you’re interested in. I’ll definitely consider everything!

Hey Lynn,

Count me in. I am going through some PT for my ankle with John DiBlasio, but hopefully should be good to go soon. I think I am finally ready to face the challenge of cold weather running. Whatever running groups you’re having this winter I’ll sign up for. I would love to do MORE, a full marathon, boot camp, anything. Sarah and I were also wondering if you would consider a 5k training group? We both want to break 30 mins but can’t get there. Hope to see you soon,

Heather
