Thursday I ran 3.5 on the treadmill and did strength training at the gym. Today I went to the local park for a 10 mile run.
The temperature is already in the mid 80s and humid -- Yuck. This summer is going to suck.

@Orphia Thank you for Runalyze. It seems pretty cool!!
Stay free of injuries!2 -
@MNLittleFinn - I knew you wouldn't be able to wait until after that full! Just so you know, your 50k will make my potential 50k look like a walk in the park. Yours is hilly and named "Harder N He!!". Mine is a rails to trails event, so relatively flat (even for KS). I'm rooting for ya!0

@WhatMeRunning What part of Kansas are you in? I'm from Great Bend, but now live in Oklahoma. My employer has a program where if we do so much activity and different point related things, we get $50-100 added to our paycheck a quarter. I already love working out, but bonus money is always a good thing! An insurance discount would be nice, too!1

@hesfeld - I'm in northeastern Kansas on the soutwestern outskirts of the Kansas City area in a city named Lenexa. A bonus for this stuff would be great!1

Hey everyone, I'm new to this thread. I used to run kinda consistently and even ran a few 5k runs last year (I even got second in my age group twice... does it count if there were only three people ).
I just ran today for the first time in about 6 months. I ran two miles (and walked one), and it felt really good. I would love the companionship and friendship of others that love to run. I am pretty bad about falling into ruts and not finishing what I start so I can't promise that I will follow through with these goals I am setting, but I am hoping this time will be different.
My goal is to run 5 days a week, two miles a day.
Thanks for letting me join, I hope to actually make some friends here so add me if you would like.

Welcome @WickAndArtoo, you found a great place for motivation and info. As for having it count, I'd probably only get an age group award if I picked one up off the ground which a faster runner accidentally dropped. I would try to catch up with them to give it back, but I am also kind of slow.2

@WhatMeRunning thank you, I really appreciate the welcome.0

I didn't run for 4 days, ugh, stupid life getting in the way of running, but I did finally run today, only 2.5 miles because I'm fighting off a cold, bleck.4

Looks like I have to import activities manually (which is a time suck) but they are going to allow for auto-synch with certain apps at a later date. I'm looking forward to that. I'll probably import my last months activities during some free time soon to get a decent look at the tool, but I will admit I am not fond of having to take time to pick a tool to export from then import here when all of my other apps already auto-sync with each other. I guess I'm lazy! Knowing me, I'll probably make the time to do this, and I'll probably love yet another new tool.

Not that I want to spend all this time on yet another tool or anything...
