    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!!

    Google docs? With a screenshot?
    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!

    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 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???

    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.

    9.1 this am. I was supposed to do 4 cruise intervals at zone 3 pace for 5 minutes each with 2 minutes zone 1 recovery. I started fine but ran my first interval a little too fast. The second interval was better but still more like zone 4 than zone 3. By the last interval I was definitely in zone 4 and 5 minutes became 8. I started cooling down with about 5 miles left until I got home. The plan was to run those miles in zone 2 or 1 and recover from the speed but ambition got the best of me. All the talk of 5k races had my mind pondering what could I do? So with 2.5 miles left to run, I let it all out. The run was good about 7:30 pace the HR was too high slip into zone 5 at one point. Tuesday is usually my cross training day on the elliptical but now that I'm on Strava the stupid leader board is mocking me and I want to be up the board. I'm going on vacation Tuesday with the family and so part of my thought is that I don't know if I'll run.(Who am I kidding?) I will run slow and easy tomorrow.

    Beware of the Strava leader board! If you aren't careful, it can lead you alright...straight into injury! Seriously though, I love the social aspect of Strava, but it is easy to get carried away and lose sight of your own goals when you start looking at those rankings. Sometimes we all just need to take a step back and remember that why we are running. Just a friendly reminder, not just to @cburke8909, but to everyone in the group.

    I never even see the leaderboard on mobile. I happen to find it yesterday and notice I'm actually on it. It was tempting to add some miles on a rest day! But nah. I'm sitting on the porch while the big dogs run. :wink:

    @runningmischka yeah so happy to see you. Look at the size of that sweetpea in the picture. I’ve loved watching her grow up in your profile pix.
    @mobycarp I could probably count on one hand the number of 5Ks I’ve run that didn’t go by chip time. Very few are gun time.
    @pastorvincent I agree through with @mobycarp you need to be more aggressive about where you start. Skip just walks up through the crowd going excuse me excuse me until she sees a face she knows she’ll finish with. A lot of races we do she just walks right to the front line and lines up. I “sparkle” enough when I run with a skirt  I’ve seen sparkle shorts too. I’ve never worn one but I hear they are very comfy.
    @cburke8909 eventually the ticker will fit itself if it doesn’t post right the first time

    @katiejane83 You need to save a copy with a different name to edit
    @lporter229 point taken, I'm not taken away by my competitive often but I am cautious when I feel the urge stiring
    @skippygirlsmom I also need to remember that I can delete a post. I forget I can do that if the post has not been up for long.
