@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.0 -
@PastorVincent and yet it shows different on my screen ???? Ok, too much for Monday.0

@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.2 -

Your accumulated miles look fine on my end, but your goal miles show 170.0 -
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!3

Google docs? With a screenshot?
I'd need to go back and measure - my stats for the 10cm above knee was guessed at and we'd need some rules such as 'thigh at widest point'
Of course there's also a BIG difference in 10cm above the knee on a six footer versus me at five foot. When I was at school they said our gym skirt had to be six inches above the knee when we knelt down. I pointed out that on me that barely covered my buttocks.....5 -
Good morning! Happy Monday everyone, hope it will be a good week.

Started out the day with a run because the weather is good and I have big, stressful, but potentially exciting job decisions to make this week. Lots of running and wine will be required to cope. Probably not at the same time.

@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.4

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 work0

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.0
