    Group speedwork tonight was 60-60s. Sixty seconds hard, sixty seconds rest with 9 repeats, then sprints. I like this workout. It goes fast.

    I'm going to have to work to make my goal for the month. It shouldn't be a problem but it's a really busy week and I usually don't run take a rest day on Sundays like I did yesterday. We shall see.

    @MobyCarp Huh. . . I had no idea that was a thing. Think a spam filter would possibly not trigger on members that have n number of posts. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. The IT part my brain got initiated.

    When this first came up I thought (also letting my IT brain get in the way) the way they handled must have been a work around until they really fixed the issue. I can't believe between their security guys and/or developers they couldn't come up with a better (permanent) solution.

    No way I am hitting my goal this month. I’m not sure why I’m so far off of it. OK, well, obviously I know I didn’t run as much! But I didn’t think I’d changed my routine that much. Although I am trying to have one full rest day a week. I may run on my strength training days so I can try to bring the miles up.

    This morning was so nice. As soon as I stepped onto the street I saw a shooting star. Then I look to the right and a baby bunny with a mom watching it close by. :heart:

    @nikoaosKey - my warmup is just walking fast for about 1/3 mile. I only do this when I run in the morning (most of my runs), because I wake up at 4:15 and am out running hopefully by 4:30 so I’m barely awake. I count this as part of my first mile, so my first mile is always really slow. If by some fluke I run in the afternoon, I don't usually warm up.
    @BeeerRunner - BQ on your birthday weekend! What day is your bday? mine is the 3rd.
    @katiejane83 - oh my gosh - I can’t imagine how you finished that cold! Yikes - great job!
    @mobycarp - Love that VA Beach picture! Shoot. I just realized I will be in London when the Boston marathon is going on. I loved watching you (online) last year and I think @ohhim is running it too. Oh well--next year! When @stoshew71, @kristinegift and @beeerrunner and the rest of you run it too! Not that I can’t watch it from there, but we will probably be out and about.
    @skippygirlsmom - So glad to see you running again. Yay Skip!
    @iofred - you overtook a cyclist? That wouldn't happen with my cycling group!
    @respecttheKitty - lifting you up in prayer.
    @patrikc333 - several of the cyclists in my group have GoPros and one guy rides one handed while he is filming- completely stressing me out. One guy has it on his head I think and another clipped on his bike. I know you are asking about while running... but I'm sure there is something out there for it.

    @ddmom0811 - well, obviously this was a very slow cyclist, as I only did 7 miles per hour, but it was nice to (be able) to use him as a pacer ... it was still dark though, so he might have been half asleep

    @iofred - No, you won't become a runner "one day." You are a runner *right now*. I'm considered fast for my age, and I think the last time I overtook a cyclist it was lapping the cyclist assigned to monitor the last runner (walker) in the Winter Warrior Half, which is run as 4 loops. I can't remember ever passing a real cyclist out for a ride, other than when one stopped for one reason or another.
