I guess I need to just worry about finishing, I ran my 3.2 miles in 30 min 45 sec. Now granted I had the week off for a hurt foot and then another trip to Florida so I've only ran twice in the last 2 weeks but I'm not getting any faster.

I have lost 16lbs total though, I need another 11 by race day to be at my desired weight but I've almost givin up that too, thats 11 lbs in 2 weeks-lol!

Are you still supposed to hurt after your regular run? I still do, my legs and hips are soar, thats another reason I started to run every other day to recover.
