@girlinahat ha ha love that pill bottle top – after I posted the quarter I thought, oops hope that is the right currency.
@pastorvincent and @elise4270 I have a blackberry and even I have the picture upload
@skippygirlsmom - Can't believe you have a blackberry still! I got crap a couple of years ago from my team at work (including my boss) for still having one. He immediately put in a req to replace my boat anchor with an iPhone!2 -

I would share a photo of what mine looks like but...
I can't see a way on mobile either. I always upload on the computer.
ETA: if you see my post below, I figured out how to do it on an Android.
You can do like PastorVincent said, or as I said earlier, drag the actual image file into the text box where you type your reply
I'ma have a problem getting my pics from mobile to PC... Unless *insert thinking that's what the cloud is for? *Insert awe*
The answer to ALL your problems is to get an iPhone! The pictures will go automatically from your phone to your PC (yes iCloud) and all of those buttons will be there to allow you to post pictures in MFP

@PastorVincent -is yours the 38mm or 42mm? Mine is the 38 and is about the same size as a quarter. I don't particularly like the HR function. It works ok but often is way off and I always wear my HRM strap when I run or I don't get accurate readings and the battery life is terrible.
I love getting messages, calls, emails and notifications on my watch so it would be tough for me to switch but the Garmins are tempting (but so big!).0 -
It was really too hot when Hobbes and I went out yesterday and I cut it really short. Today work sabotaged my plans for an early run so I ended up leaving him sulking at home while I went to the gym to run on the treadmill and get in some strength training. I really had to convince myself to go but felt SO much better afterwards. I hate running on the treadmill and I hate how much I sweat (one thing to sweat outside - another entirely to drip in sweat all over the gym) however, I was able to push myself and run at my HM (PR) pace for a portion and at a pretty good pace for me as of late. I think I am doing better - despite the HM showing last weekend. After my treadmill run I went and rinsed off in the sink and then did another 40 mins of strength training. My trainer is out of town for a few weeks so I am on my own and still need to get it done. I love all these young ladies in the gym working out without a hair out of place and not even a shimmer of perspiration anywhere all the while I am dripping on the floor... oh well I know I worked hard.

@skippygirlsmom Nice Runners Bling on your wrist and shoe shopping - double win week.
Fellow Crackberry User. I feel your pain. My Work phone is Crackberry and it has been locked down limiting internet access, no apps unless approved by corporate security etc. They even have the camera feature locked down, Paranoid IT Group or just closing all the Hacker back doors - not sure which one.
@garygse An Oreo Taped to your wrist sounds like a Mid Run Snack.
@RunRachelleRun Someone has a real collection of watch's. Your Shoe Collection must be awesome
@_nikkiwolf_ You obviously get to travel - impressive Coin Collection. Even more impressed that you could figure out where they all came from. 1 Canadian Dollar is usually called a Loonie ( bird on the back is a Loon ) by us CanuckleHeads, $2.00 = Toonie.
@RespectTheKitty 10 miler without even thinking about it.
Like others I can remember when you were struggling to break through that distance. That's the type of story/progress I refer the people doing C25K or B210K as motivation for them.
11 km - A complete out and back on the River Bank Trails. Had to wait until after 9:00pm to hit the Trails as it was just to hot. Was only planning 8 km but was feeling good so I extended out to get a complete Loop of the River Bank trails. Went out easy and then built my pace on the return leg. Working on carrying/increasing pace when tired. Leaving me 18 km short of my 160 km goal for the month. 22 km Long Run scheduled for Saturday morning plus what ever I throw in tomorrow night as a Easy-Shorty.
My next 3 events are all Cross Country - Bush Trails - some with a lot of single track, sand dunes, Rock More Rock and some interesting Cliff Bands/Steep Gully crossovers. Emperor's Challenge promises to be fun. Best use of a Drone for capturing the Top of the Mountain Trail.

My turn for the RW survey!
Favorite season to run: Fall - I build all Spring/Summer for Fall Events
Time of day to run: Early morning - late evening = cooler
Favorite distance: 10k General Training. HM for events
Where to run: Dirt trail and paved path
What to carry: Cloths, No Naked running for me. GPS watch, keys, water if planned over 15 km.
Who to run with: Running Club Friends, Friends from Events, alone
Motivation to start: Needed something more than swimming/biking
Motivation to keep running: Event Training, Relaxation, Personal Challenge = Fitness.
Describe self: Fitness/Frequent Runner - Definitely a Middle of the pack person
Holidays: July 1st, Canada Day
Reasons to skip an outdoor run: Too icy, too hot, Pouring Rain. Snow and Ice I can handle. Rain just chills me to the Bones.3 -
Hi guys I took your advice and had a day off . So yesterday I only managed a mile in my treadmill...totally gutted. Couldn't get motivated so I give up.! Trying again today
Have a great day wherever you are 2 -

think this is me - most of the coins aren't that recent. The French franc is obsolete since 1999 and probably relates to an interrailing expedition I did before then (13 countries in a month around Europe!!); I lived in Japan a couple of years then spent a few months travelling SE Asia; the US coinage is from a trip to San Francisco in about 1997 after I graduated from University to see an uncle; the Australia coin from a few years back when I went to the wedding of an old flatmate I hadn't seen for 15 years and the Canadian money from a trip to see my sister about six years ago who now lives near Winnipeg.
sifting through them took me on some good memory lane trips but it's high time I did some more travelling!!!
The RW survey -
Favourite season to run: probably Spring and autumn. But that also relates to time of day for running
Time of day to run: Early morning. 'early' is subjective on weekends
Favourite distance: 10k casual. Only done one HM so far (sobs about pulling out of Sunday's event). I plan to be able to just do casual 20 mile runs because I feel like it.
Where to run: trails, gravel paths and in my head I am a mountain goat
What to carry: keys. Why do only 40% carry keys? How do they get back in their houses/cars? plus usually phone and maybe water and some cash
Who to run with: Me. once a week a club.
Motivation to start: weight loss and fitness
Motivation to keep running: challenge. Fitness. Getting to see more amazing countryside when I go out
Describe self: Fitness/Frequent Runner - inconsistent, inherently lazy. In my head I am superfit superhuman beast striding up hills roaring and pretending to be an aeroplane on the way down (with 'wheeeee' noise). Actually, I make the noises, it's just the other bit i haven't quite achieved yet.
Holidays: The only 'traditional' holiday event day in the UK is probably Boxing Day when some people go for a swim in the sea. So I may or may not run on a holiday (when is Thanksgiving? Some time in November?)
Reasons to skip an outdoor run: lazy. raining heavily (light rain is pleasant) or hail. Something else to do like a dance festival, or a TV programme such as 'my 80lb testicle' (I kid you not, I watched this last night)

@PastorVincent -is yours the 38mm or 42mm? Mine is the 38 and is about the same size as a quarter. I don't particularly like the HR function. It works ok but often is way off and I always wear my HRM strap when I run or I don't get accurate readings and the battery life is terrible.
I love getting messages, calls, emails and notifications on my watch so it would be tough for me to switch but the Garmins are tempting (but so big!).
That is the 38mm. The 42mm was more money but offered no extra features so I was like "pass."
The HRM is highly accurate, independently tested to within 3% of the gold standard (EKG), but you have to wear the watch tight enough that it can not move and some people do not like that. If it can move around it will give bad readings. That is just the nature of the optical readings.
I get about 5-6 hours battery life out of mine (it is a Series 2) if I have full HR+GPS tracking on. 2 days under normal conditions (including a 60-90 min fully tracked run each day). I would not call that horrible, but I guess it depends all on your use case.
I have considered the Garmin 735XT as a potential future replacement if I start doing a lot of hiking or training for ultras, but right now the watch I have does everything I currently need, so am happy not to spend $400 right now.

@shanaber My Garmin Fenix 3 HR has call and message notifications. But it is a pricier and higher end model than the Forerunner series.0

Oh good, for my race tonight....
Heavy thunderstorms this evening will give way to steady rain overnight. Low 58F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected.

Main goal is to survive the Eugene Curnow Trail marathon and get more time on feet.
Nominal mileage goal: Let's say 100? Maybe I'll be a PastorVincent and set my goal at the end of the month

Today's notes: Got to sleep in this morning, after about 8 hours of sleep and got my run in. This run was one of those, felt harder than it was types. I maxed my HR at 163 at one point. Average HR of the run was 151, with 91% of the run in z1 or z2. Weather was great, just below 50F, and my pace showed it, ran a 9:18 average pace, and it felt GOOD! Tomorrow will be a harder trail run, so we'll see how that goes.
Hope you all have a runderful day!

Nope nope nope! No iPhone needed! My Google Pixel XL (android) phone automatically backs up all of my photos as well. I can log into Google on any computer and access all of my photos. Also, all of my documents, since I store them all in Google Drive. (I am not an iPhone fan, hehe

Not sure about others in the FR series, but the 235 has call and message notifications also. I love the look of the Fenix watch, but the weight is what puts me off from getting one. The FR 935 on the other hand has everything that the Fenix 5 has, but weighs a lot less...you just have to be ok with a plastic watch.midwesterner85 wrote: »@shanaber My Garmin Fenix 3 HR has call and message notifications.

My phone automatically backs up too. But I've turned that off because I don't need every photo I ever taken of my dinner or cat pic that I've sent to DD. I do have a cool photo of a snail drinking from a water bead that's amazing, I'd probably back that one up.
no i phones, no iPod, "I" anything. I won't even buy apple stock. Google products all the way. When my cellular contract runs out, I plan on going to Google's cell service with the Pixel.
Did not get up to run... So tired. Today is our company pool party (kid friendly). So hopefully I'll be able to get in some laps. DH has bilateral shin splints because he's gone from 40mpm to 84 currently. I may be running alone this weekend Saturday (hooray! - loner) Company okc dodgers ball game Sunday so I may miss that usual run.

I haven't really looked into the 735XT much; just the Fenix models, and the 935. The 735XT has some great features, and now that the 935 is out, I imagine the price has probably dropped (haven't checked on that though). However, I'm pretty much sold on the 935, I just wish they would bring out more colors and I'm hoping that by the time I get one, there will be more than just one color choice. My 235 has the Nike black/volt color scheme, which I rather like.

Today's long run was 86F with 59% humidity, which gives a dew point of 70F. Translation: sticky. Managed 21 slow-paced miles, which kept my heart rate down with an average of 140bpm. Nice and easy does it! Overall pace was 10:42 min/mi, which is fine, as keeping the HR down was more important. Now to rest over the weekend, ready for Monday's faster-paced run.

Yeah, I think they look great. Add a protective glass screen and they can take quite a beating too without looking like it. I'm thinking after my October marathon, I'll treat myself to the 935...it'll be close to my birthday, and feature-wise it's absolutely outstanding.0 -

Yesterday I needed 10 miles and made it a Daily Double. Felt surprisingly good still, considering I haven't had a rest day since Saturday, and this stretch has included a PR long run and speed training. I ALSO did an intense Zumba class last night, since my FAVE teacher was subbing, and was still surprisingly not dead and alert afterwards (this is especially surprising b/c I hadn't gone to bed until 1am the night before, b/c of a concert, lol). However, when I woke up this morning I was still sooo sleepy, and did NOT want to get out of bed! So I think it's catching up, lol.
The good news is, my boss is out today, along with a bunch of other people, so it should be really quiet, and I should be able to get away with squeezing my 8 mile run in at lunch (shhhh, lol). That means I will have absolutely NOTHING to do the rest of the evening, once I get out of work! Woohoo!
