    The last few weeks this group has broken into two groups: regular runner folk and GAME OF THRONES RECAP RUNNERS. And after last night's episode, we needed the entire hour for GOT feelings and theories.

    @kristinegift Ha! The same thing happened last time I went running in a big group. There was those who loved GOT and wanted to talk obsessively about. And then there were those who were lame non-GOT watchers. ;)

    @Orphia Hmm collective stats? A group thread could be started and from there we can update. Be kinda neat seeing the progress we each make. I'd like to see it all in Excel with maybe charts... Not sure how to share and Excel file. Maybe just a screenshot?

    Ideas?

    It'd be this evening before I can get on it, unless my boss has meetings and I am unsupervised.

    I like nerdy stuff.

    Yep. Tried on mobile, then on desktop. No answers here, just an "amen." I'm at 12.77/45 for the month, and you're gonna have to take my word for it without a cute ticker.

    My performance over the weekend has convinced me that I need a rest day, and it's gonna happen unless my upper body steers my truck to the gym for a workout.

    Your accumulated miles look fine on my end, but your goal miles show 170.

    This rest day sucks already. I know they are good for me, but the urge to run is real. Good thing I'll be putting miles in behind the stroller today... yay for when daily life provides cross training!

    @BettyM1017 thanks I forgot I changed my goal to 170 this month. I think I might actually go well past that. If I do all the training I plan it will be over 200. I have an 18 mile long run this Saturday and the following is a 20 mile long run. I am determined to get my everyday run up to 9 or 10 miles.

    If you do this, Google Doc spreadsheet is perfect, You can lock it down so only you all can read it and you can all edit the same doc so that no one person has to do the tracking.

    That frog stretch really hurt my knees. They are a little bruised. I ended up doing the alternate adductor stretch today. I don't know if I did it wrong, or if I just have really bony knees.

    Ugh. I hate that one so much that I made the instructor teach me an alternate one. I feel it zero percent in my adductors and 100 percent in my poor bruisey knees.

    Sounds like Google docs is the way to go.. boss will be out most of the day. So I can work on it. Spreadsheet won't likely raise too much attention from my one narky co-worker. I'm not slacker. Just not enough work

    If you want an excel worksheet, then Google Spreadsheet would work better... same notion of sharing the document etc, but spreadsheet-based instead (obviously).

    ETA I'm slow...@PastorVincent has already mentioned this. Going back to sleep now!

    Lol, I was going to post this too, but saw both of these posts first.

    I love Google Docs and Spreadsheets, I use them all the time.

    I... am...waiting...... To ... Go...... Run......waiting.. it's getting hotter and hotter. I'm getting anxious. Waiting.

    Waiting at Verizon store. I thought today might be the 10. Maybe tomorrow- it's supposed to rain.


    ETA Soo, NEWBIES. HOW ARE ALL YALL DOING?

    Newbie here!! Great! I had a run yesterday and my new watch had me pretty slow I thought, but when I looked at the split run/walks it had the run at just under 11:00 min mile. Dang!!! I was pretty excited about that.

    YAY! Nothing like progress! Way to go!!

    Well if it's any consolation, I read @PastorVincent 's post but missed the spreadsheet. So I'm glad you covered it as I downloaded docs and was disappointed that Excel was not an option.


    Can I create a document outside of spreadsheets and save it to google spreadsheets? Boss should be leaving any second.....

    ETA hey you're on vacation and a brainiac, why did I get this gig? Lol!

    Try: https://www.google.com/sheets/about/ as a starting point maybe?

    I'm aiming to do the first 4 weeks of couch to 5km!
    I'm heading to Outward Bound in September and desperately need to get some level of fitness.

    I just finished week 4. Hope it works out for you and that you keep on it!!!

    I would like to crash the party! I have been missing running so maybe I can live vicariously through yall for a while. I am down to walking ( or maybe waddling, but I refuse to believe that) for the time being due to pregnancy.

    I set a goal of walking 20 miles in august.

    8/5 - 1.89 miles

    Congrats, when are you due???

    @PastorVincent I'm on it.. Thanks


    I found this file an thought to share it as an experiment or if it was useful for anyone. Its fancy. Im not sure i know how to duplicate this type of work, but i'm sure as a group effort we can come close or better.

    Its a weight loss calculator written by an MFP user. You may have already seen it.

    Aw kitten! I accidentally deleted this file!
