Having trouble keeping up with this thread once again! I spent the weekend in Charlotte, NC visiting my niece and going to a Panthers game. Nothing too eventful to report on the running front. Because of travel and such, a run wasn't possible on Saturday, but I did get in a nice 9 mile sunrise run around downtown Charlotte on Sunday morning. My niece lives in a cool little area called South End in a tiny apartment, so we stayed in a downtown hotel a few blocks north of her place. Between getting around Charlotte and the airports, I walked, walked, walked enough this weekend to make up for any running miles I may feel guilty about missing. Evening run coming later today. Hoping to catch up with this thread at lunchtime. Rock on you beasts!!!

@juliet3455 Love Ray Stevens!
@OSUbuckeye906 Lovely pic! Weeping willows are my favorite tree
Had one in my backyard as a kid.
@shanaber That green grass!
My back is still being finicky but I think I can run tonight. I wake up stiff/sore and it basically hurt all day in my desk chair yesterday, then I got home and spent hours on my feet and felt totally fine :-D So my logic is that sitting and lying around is terrible for my back and running is good
Of course I would not run in pain but I'll see what happens. 0 -

Whats on the table for Thanksgiving? Sorry UKers - What's your favorite Holliday food?
Turkey - yeah, but I'd rather eat ham
Gravy - not touching it
Dressing - bleh!
Green bean casserole - no way
Sweet potato casserole with pecans not marshmallows - YES!!!!!!
Big fluffy dinner rolls - with buttah!
Cranberry Jello salad - don't leave me alone with that bowl
Pie - y'all can have all the pie you want, except the Pecan is mine
We have a big church Thanksgiving dinner this Saturday then we'll be at my inlaws on Thanksgiving day.

On Thanksgiving food...
For the last 2 years, I've taken advantage of the multiple days off from work to go hiking / backpacking somewhere. This year, the plan is to go to my mom's for Thanksgiving day and then to hike Fri.-Sat. (camp overnight). For food, I'm now eating low carb. Mom will probably make plenty of high carb foods - a corn casserole, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, yams, gravy, pie. But she knows I'm eating low carb and I plan to stick mostly with turkey and green beans (without the breaded additives people put in green bean casserole).1 -

Because of the Reebok 1 mile challenge on Strava, I tried to get in a run of a single mile yesterday (after 0.5 mile warm up). I didn't know how to pace myself, looking back on the chart on Strava, I was heading out too fast. The whole thing felt like a torture, my throat felt like burning at the end
and the speed wasn't all that good either. But at least, I got a picture of the moon

So, if my Aunt, who's trained people for the Denver marathon before is helping me make a training program, and I think the mileage isn't enough...... is it OK to add additional mileage??? LOL, I haven't even seen the plan yet, but she said something about cutting me back to 5 running days a week and putting in a weights/core/crosstraining day......I think I'm addicted to running just a little, and if the plan cuts my mileage, I won't make my goal...LOL0

I'm thinking about running the friel test for LTHR in Thursday. When I did my half hour tempo today, I really didn't feel like I was running hard while it was a half hour, I actually think that a half hour of running hard would have been faster. Friel says to run it as if it's a half hour race, and I definitely wasn't running it like that. Could I warm up for like 10-15 minutes, go hard for 30, and then cool down for another 10-15? It would basically be what I did today, without my slowing down to keep BP down? what ya'all think?0

@greenolivetree I'd eat all the things you don't like! We only agree on the pecan pie!
@midwesterner85 sounds yummy!
@mom3over40 great pic!
I have no idea what were eating. My kids growing up ate at their dads, larger family atmosphere there. Most holidays it was just me and the cats. I didn't grow up with family traditions. Er didn't develop them. Bad adults in my childhood... So hard to get into to it and know what to do. I did buy a turkey.2 -

@Stoshew71 I'd definitely like a hoodie, but I don't live in the US so I guess I couldn't join you all in that.
@RespectTheKitty How are you feeling today? I know how it feels to be struggling with depression so if you ever want to chat away from the boards you can always message me
@Elise4270 Hope you get good news from the PT tomorrow.
Just a short, slow run tonight so I can go with the flow tomorrow - finally bit the bullet and joined a running club and tomorrow is my first night. I'm so excited! Mainly because I want some running friends because, as much as I love you guys, I want someone IRL to run with and to talk to about poop

@elise4270 I've been an extremely picky eater most of my life and although I think I've come a long ways most people would still call me a picky eater. I only decided I like pecan pie LAST THANKSGIVING! I do like green beans, just not in a casserole :-p Good luck with the running And hey, if you wanna turn that turkey into enchiladas, go right ahead! Make your own tradition!
@louubelle16 Have fun running and talking about poop!
I signed up for smashrun because I was looking for something to track a running streak :-0 Looks like you need to pay for Pro to get Garmin to auto-sync??? I'll try it and see if it's a pain to have to go online and click "sync". The badges look really fun. Anybody else using smashrun??? @RespectTheKitty Maybe a new site like smashrun would help with your "rut".

@louubelle16 @Stoshew71 If we do a hoodie, it can be shipped out of the US. I can't remember exactly, but to the UK wasn't too bad. Australia for some reason was 42 USD. GAH!
There were 3 or 4 shirts that went over. I figure maybe a design would be easier, have it made at our local t shirt printing shop? Hoodies can get expensive. But we can see where this takes us. Maybe a beanie hat? Just brainstorming..
I'm on board for whatever the group decides.0 -

Whats on the table for Thanksgiving? Sorry UKers - What's your favorite Holliday food?
Homemade cranberry sauce...the kind I make myself! That and a big ol' ham. Plus homemade rolls. You can keep the mashed potatoes, gravy (yuck), stuffing, etc. Ham, cranberries, rolls.1 -

You read my mind! I guarantee there will be Turkey enchiladas. I like turkey, corn bread stuffing and cranberries. Rest of it I just pass on. I like sweet potatoes, but can't stand the marshmallow stuff. I like that 5 cup /ambrosia salad. Definitely a glutton when it come to that stuff.
@karllundy We'll have ham too. DH gets one from work. Only my son and I'll eat it (until I get a headache from the preservative). Then the dogs get it. 0 -
I understand. I have twins. That skin is crazy. I had 10.5 inches of mine removed. So..... I just have a nice itchy scar.
My kids miss the flabby skin. They liked to poke at it.
For losing 100 pounds, you deserve to flaunt it. That's really impressive.
Under the cover of night, no one sees the flabby-ness. That's my plan.1
