This is the thread for all interested in forward motion, from very beginning runners to Boston qualifiers, and all in between. We love to chat, running and otherwise, so be prepared to jump in and move fast if you're new! Some of us have met each other IRL, others are just online people. New people are welcome all the time.
Usually DrJen maintains a race list....
Since some of us have met in real life, and that necessitates exchange of personal information, we sometimes communicate via a yahoo group to coordinate addresses, etc. that we might not want to post out for the whole world to see. We still use that yahoo group, we let new members in (fairly freely), but keep it private. If you want into the group you basically have to PM me or mamabeth (or whoever the third moderator is, I forget) and you're in. There's not a whole lot of traffic on that, but you will see us occasionally refer to the yahoo site/email/group).
Someone suggested I wrote this. I'm sure it is not all mine:
Dingo n. An MDC mama (or soon-to-be mama, or mama in her heart) with the desire to move forward at a run or walk. She supports her fellow dingo in each dingo's quest to find balance and reason in her life.
Requirements to become a dingo: Posting on this thread goals for the day, week, month, year, or decade. OK if starting couch to 5k or running and ultra marathon.
Identifying features of a dingo: Posts often here, facebook, daily mile. Starts to get antsy during extended time off for injury or sickness. Found on the road, on the dreadmill, in the pool, or on a bike.

Kerc's the grown-up. 
. I thought I'd try again to keep up with y'all. I'm not running much - except for the memory run - but I am doing Tae Kwon Do, off-road biking, and teachjng yoga twice a week. The pace of activities is just right since I do lots of outdoor work and homeschool. So even though I'm not running, I'd still love to re-connect with you Dingo babes!
Of course, I've done nothing waiting for it to go away and guess what? It's worse! :doh. I went to deep into a yoga pose again. Then in TKD, I over-extended my leg in a high kick and couldn't sit cross-legged afterwards (and still can't w/o modification) and then when I ran, the pain crept down the back of my butt, outside of my thigh, crossed my knee, continues down my shin, and is now in the outside of my foot/arch. Now I can feel myself walking funny to compensate for the pain. I went for a massage and she felt it and worked all around it but not really on the muscle itself or the area. Maybe she wasn't comfortable with that area or that just wasn't her type of massage. So Friday, I took the kids mountain biking thinking that would be a different motion that wouldn't affect it but I think it did a little. I now find myself starting to limp just doing normal activities around the house & yard. So this brings me to you. Would you ice it? Would you leave it? Massage again? Stay totally off it?
. Hope you are all well.
I have work that needs doing, and that's not even bringing the farm into the equation. I decided one of my lambs is very wormy this AM--looking thin, some edema under the jaw, pale gums--so I had to catch and deworm, and that put me behind schedule with everything else. Ah, well. So I dropped kids 45min late at Sunday school, dd doing the crying thing to try and get out of it, and now I get my wee bit of just me time. Yesterday was great--workout, lunch with my sister, swim time, rummage sales, cookie baking and then an evening with friends--but I am starting to feel anxious about deadlines.
You are so busy. How is your eye?
I was hoping to pull it off, but things have come up.
