    @Stoshew71 - good grief! Your daily runs are putting us all to shame :wink:
    @kristinegift - speedy! Making us old folks miss our youth :smiley:
    @shanaber - I like running with a group, but not for every run. If there is a running store nearby, ask them for one that is big and/or your speed...guarantee someone there will run your pace
    @briebee7 - congrats on the PR! Speedy!
    @shell1005 - glad the hammie is all healed up!
    @mwyvr - ugh...kidney stones! One of my co-workers gets them frequently, and they are not fun. Hope they "pass" quickly!

    Great weekend all! Have a fantastic week!

    5 km @ 6 AM - Early morning run. Brrrrrrr 12 C = 54 F.
    We already have trees starting to turn there Brilliant Fall colors and when I make the turn for home the sun is to low on the horizon that it is not shinning in my eyes anymore.

    @AlexPaige - Congrats on being at your desired goal ahead of time! Youa re probably going to have a pleasant surprise on race day.

    @briebee7 - Congrats on the new PR!! Sounds like a great race.

    @shell1005 - Way to go on the extra effort! You are definitely ready for a half!:smile:

    @Stosweh71 - You are setting the roads on fire with all that mileage!!

    @mwyvr - Kidney stones? Good gawd, man! Hope you pass that second moon today!

    @Elise4270 : have you had the pulses in your legs checked? Cramps and numbness would concern me about peripheral vascular disease

    No. I see a hip specialist today. Maybe he can point me in the right direction. Last doc just did an MRI, said its nothing. I'm dealing with the top of the class here.... :( I'm a bit concerned about CECS.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll note PVD and check into it.

    8/4 - 3.2 miles
    8/5 - rest day
    8/6 - 1.8 miles ending up not getting back out last night - had to bring work home with me and worked until 9:30
    8/7 - 4.4 miles in the fog :tongue: 5K Run to the Rescue with Skip and some of her teammates tomorrow.
    8/8 - 3.1 Run to the Rescue 5K today. Skip and I ran, it was trail for almost 2 miles (I've never run off the road) then onto the road, then onto parking lot gravel (ugh) then back to and finish on grass. We don't have official times, I was I did a 9:43 pace just over 30 min so not near a PR, Skip said she was about 23:49 not near her PR either. I thought it was a tough course, a few hills. The trail was hard for me very rooty and uneven, but it was a lot of fun. I finished 3rd in my AG and she finished 1st in her AG.
    8/9 - 9.3 miles

    8/13 - rest day
    8/14 - rest day - work got in the way for 2 days :-(
    8/15 - 6.5 miles - halfway right on schedule
    8/16 - 8.6 miles - longest run ever for Skip - so proud of her
    8/17 - 3.5 miles of leisurely run in the rain

    @mwyvr sorry about the kidney stones, I think they are God's way of letting men know what childbirth is all about :wink: I hope they pass soon
    @7lenny7 wow on the pictures, I would love to run somewhere like that so pretty.
    @_nikkiwolf_ the flowers are beautiful, but I'm with you, if they are overpowering you can't breath and you get that "taste" of the flower in your mouth yuck!
    @jorocka I see those microfiber undies all the time and I wonder if I'd like them. I'll have to try a pair out.
    @shanaber try googling "running groups" and where you live, I was amazed at all I found in El Paso
    @elise4270 I'm so sorry you are having these health problems hugs
    @ctdebbie welcome to the group!!
    @stoshew71 I'm amazed at how much your mileage and speed has increased over the last year, it's wild. I think I get so used to see your high numbers that I find I don't comment on them, but I do always read them and think holy crap.
    @juliet3455 wow fall colors in August. I don't know if I could get used to that.

    22.94/30 month

    Today I wasn't feeling great and it's quite hot so I decided to time my mile since I haven't run a race-pace mile in a few years...10:38! It was tough but if I keep pushing I think I can get my 5k pace down with this new confidence.

    Lots of good running for everyone over the weekend! I love seeing all the pictures of where everyone runs.
