HEY Y'ALL
Rough draft of the video for my Obstacle Course Run is up. It is lower quality until I am satisfied it is done, but still surprising clear. Actually pretty okay with this, except I missed a title card. Have to get that added, then will take this one down and put a new one up. For now, here you go:

(My wife is the one in orange shorts, the other woman is my coworker and you can probably guess which one is my son. )5 -

Tried to take this morning really easy. I pushed it a little the last mile. Still the run felt pretty easy. 12 miles tomorrow. I hope my legs hold up!5 -
[quote="sarahthes And then Monday morning I fly out to Grande Prairie for the week. Will probably just stick to the treadmill in the hotel gym since I don't think running in the dark in a strange town would be terribly bright. [/quote]
@sarahthes Depending on which Hotel you are in - their is a nice paved Trail around the Muskoseepi Park - water reservoir behind the Grande Prairie College. I believe parts of it has lights - never ran a night race so can't comment. Make a call to Walk Run and More - the Running Store located in a Mini Strip Mall right behind the GP Mall, they usually do a store sponsored run on one evening and would be glad to have a visitor join in.
Just blame Bill from PR and Sherry, Lisa will have a laugh.
Struggling this month - my MoJo seems to have left town. I mean its Thursday and I have 0 km's for the week.

@HonuNui - I love the collage!0

@PastorVincent looks like a good time was had by all.
Great footage! 0 -
2.2 walking on the "dreadmill" which I actually don't mind. I have reading to do for a STEM course I'm taking and I can read and walk at the same time. Doctor has scheduled an ultrasound to rule out a clot in my leg. I am restricted from strenuous exercise until that is cleared. (Luckily, my two previous workouts were not a problem. They may have been more strenuous then recommended.) There is a possible protein issue. My legs and calf feel much better and I am very convinced it was a tear that is healing. Love the collage that @HonuNui posted.

My legs were a little tired this morning so I thought I'd just do 4, I ended up doing 5 and decided to try and pick my pace up. I used to be a pretty consistent 10 min miler, how I'm like closer to 13 don't know why. Ended up with a 11:52 pace so I was happy with that.

Joined a gym last weekend and I've been enjoying trying out some of the equipment this week. Today, I did rowing, biking, and then a run/walk. My quads are still angry from last Saturday's track and field, but they are getting better. I'm trying to keep active without pushing too hard. I broke down and ordered a foot pod. Hope it works well!
Today: 2.46 miles on treadmill
MTD: 32.02 / 50 miles5 -
@PastorVincent Running with your son is like running with Skip LOL I was so proud of your son and wife getting over that wall. I loved that they never gave up. Lots of need obstacles. Your wife looked like she couldn’t wait to get to the vehicle fire! Love the slip and slide thing ha ha too funny, your gopro was like being in a car wash. It was wild how awful the day started and then it got so nice out. Great video!!!
@HonuNui love the collage

Thanks, @skippygirlsmom and @PastorVincent, for the pace group feedback - I signed up. I might try a short run tomorrow morning and see if I can get back into training. Three weeks from Sunday so not much time!4

@PastorVincent Neat video. Couldn't watch it all at work but cool
@HonuNui Love your collage!
@RunRachelleRun Nice workouts. Good luck with the foot pod.
@cburke8909 I hope the leg issue is a tear and not a bloodclot????? But I wish it was neither
I'm still trying to get over the sickness and each day is different. Today's issue is that pressure builds up in my ears and my head starts to really hurt until the pressure released. Aargh. My throat is better though.
I should check where I am for mileage this month. Probably way behind! Um yep. I've ran Oct 2, 3, 6,7, 10,16 for a total of 15 miles. I took a huge hit last weekend with being sick and hurting my back.1 -
@PastorVincent love the video. Looks like a fun challenge.0

I had a wonderful run at lunch today. I ran faster than yesterday and was able to get 3.3 miles in. I would have liked to run further, but I had to get back to work. I both love and hate running during lunch. I love it because I usually feel really good afterward and on days like today it was still in the 70's at lunch, but by afternoon it will be ~85F. And while I love to run after work I sometimes feel like my husband is waiting on me or I need to run errands. The bad thing about running at lunch though is I have a limited amount of time to run so my runs usually end up being shorter. And I still haven't gotten quick enough at changing in and out of my running gear.
@HonuNui Thanks for posting the collage!

My body must be trying to catch up on sleep/rest before Saturday. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night and fell asleep for an afternoon nap today2

That's a possibility, but I'm thinking that it's just high stress job + Taper + not enough sleep the last week = more sleeping today.1 -

Sounds like your body has caught up with the idea that it's allowed to rest. I would take that as a positive sign!0 -
