Specifically... will Continental allow it? I bought this guitar knowing I'd need to take it on a plane, but now I'm freaking out a little that it might be too long for the size requirements. I am positive however that it will...

Pigglies So I could ship it to a UPS store for pickup? That would be pretty convenient. I've already prepaid for more bags than I'm taking so I'm not worried about that, I just don't want the guitar going in cargo.

A few months ago I tried another mile race, with shoes on. I ran an 8:10. Tried a 2 mile race, ran a 16:20. Then about a month ago, I ran another 2 mile race, and somehow pulled off a 15:40! I couldn't believe it myself. I've only...

Pigglies Thanks! Yes, I definitely feel healthier than before I was a runner. However, I haven't been running as much lately and I definitely feel the need to run more. I only run about 5 miles a week now. I want to get back to running at least 15 miles a week,...

Pigglies Oh no! No more marathons, lol. One was enough. Although, I did try the Runner's World pace calculator and according to that thing, if I were to fully train for a marathon, a sub 4 hour is possible based on my 2 mile time. If it really were possible in...

I just registered for my first half-marathon. I have plenty of time to train as it's not until May. This is good because the weather should be nicer by then too! lol! I also just won my first first place medal in my age division!...

Pigglies Marathons are much more fun on a bicycle. ;) I've done one of those before and the scenery was definitely more enjoyable when I wasn't so sore. They're also over much quicker.

Pigglies Oh that is cool! My goals are just to get any medal in my age division and to run a 2 mile faster than 15:30. I'd also like to increase my distances again so that I can at least comfortably run a 10K if one comes by that I can sign up for.

I'm going bowling sometime this week for the first time, and I was looking at bowling shoes online so that I won't have to rent shoes. But I noticed some shoes said they were for right handed bowlers and others were for left...

Pigglies I'm almost tempted to re-read the book now. But the disturbing quality of the relationship definitely needs to be there in the movie to keep it accurate. I still haven't seen the new version.

So I finally found a street mile to race, and when I was about to sign up I noticed I could sign up for the open category or barefoot. Either way I'm sure I have no chance of being in the top 3 (unless only 3 people go barefoot),...

Pigglies I ended up running the race barefoot. I was slowed down on the track, because it was a cloth track. But the main thing that slowed me down was the gravel just before the track! Still, I ran my best mile. I was the only barefoot entrant though. I think the...

So I see they are encouraging people to bring their own cups now. Does anyone know if they allow cups they didn't sell? And how to determine what size to order? I hardly ever get coffee at Starbucks because I like black coffee...

I've always thought I was a much slower runner when barefoot, but tonight I realized that is all in my head. I am definitely more careful because of the obvious factor of not wanting to step on something that will hurt me. But I...

Pigglies I know the tops of my feet will burn too after awhile, but I'm thinking I could put sunscreen on my sweaty self or something. Several family members have had skin cancer, and I don't want that. But I know I do need some sun for vitamin D, and I figure that 7...

Pigglies Once I'm done running I plan to throw on a light and loose long sleeve shirt to prevent burning. The run starts at 6pm, so I can take the long sleeve shirt off too after the darkness has set (fireworks follow the post race activities). I'm impressed that...

Pigglies LOL, I'd definitely be wearing a sports bra either way. I just meant that if my abs are actually showing a bit I might go for wearing only a sports bra since it will be hot out. But if I still have this flabby belly I will withstand the heat even if it is 100...

Pigglies I'm planning on just wearing a t-shirt until the last minute, hopefully the mile will take me less than 8 minutes to run so I shouldn't get a sunburn. I can't decide if I'll wear my usual racing tank top or if I'll just wear a sports bra. It depends if I can...

I am excited as tonight I will run my first race in the evening. It'll be downtown Okc. I am looking forward to it. All of my other races have been in the morning. I hope to set a new pr as I have been running more at night...

Pigglies Wow that is crazy! I can't even imagine doing 120 miles per week. I don't even reach that per month anymore. Right now I do about 10 miles a week because I'm mildly injured and want to recover more quickly than I usually do.

Today is the " Go without shoes day!" People around the world are going barefoot. Reason behind this is because it shows them how it feels for the children and adults that dont have shoes to wear feel. please join in!

Pigglies I'd love to go without shoes all day, but then I couldn't really go anywhere since around here shoes are pretty much required. However, I run barefoot whenever I can!

Pigglies Midnight would be a good time. The only one I've ever seen was on New Year's Eve though. But at least it would be nice and cool! Even cooler where you're from. ;)

Pigglies Thanks for the best response! I've heard men use that excuse too that only people without a brain resort to playing sports and such. But I've noticed a lot of smart people run. Or maybe I'm biased. ;)
