    Thanks @Elise4270 I wondered that too. But in case I did upset or offend someone I didn't mean to.

    I'm with Elise on this one - probably a miss-click, and either way, it was a totally inoffensive post. The only thing I can possibly think of is that someone might have interpreted your comment about choosing not to eat before running as encouraging unhealthy eating behaviors, but that's a pretty absurd reading given how common fasted cardio and intermittent fasting is in these parts. Personally, I rarely eat before running - I like to keep the time between rolling out of bed and hitting the pavement as brief as possible, and I've certainly never noticed any negative effects of it.

    I agree. I never eat before a run anymore, and it is very common in the running community to run fasted. Although, if i run/bike in the afternoon, i will have obviously eaten sometime prior to the activity.

    Wasn't able to run all week - work was crazy. Y'all have been busy! My last post was on page 23 - one week later page 43!!! Yikes. I have some catching up to do!

    I wanna take a second cuz my earlier post was reported as abuse... I am confused as to why it was reported and it was not my intent to upset anyone - especially as I was speaking about myself in the post. I'd just like to clarify that.

    I saw that. You did nothing wrong. The mods do look at it and you shouldn't worry about it. I wonder if it was done inadvertently scrolling on mobile.

    I also saw the flag and thought it must have been hit accidentally. Absolutely nothing offending in the post.

    Finally a chance to peek into this thread! Only by braving the moskitos outside the campside reception building (where the wifi is B) ). I don't have much running to report - week one of my vacation is over, and I only went for two runs together with my sister, both quite short (it's really hot, and we were always exhausted from general vacation activities in the evening). So running-wise I'll be completely out of shape when I come home.
    But we did some hiking and sightseeing, which still amounted to more than 20,000 steps per day on average. And today we went canoeing, which I hadn't done in ages. 24km - my arms and shoulders are going to be super sore tomorrow!!

    ---

    @bride001 That's awesome that the warm-up suggested by the PT helped, I hope your foot will be fine from now on!

    @zdyb23456 Kudos on your great 14 mile run :smile:

    @JulieS3103 Yes, trails are fun! Some nice trails are responsible for a couple of scrapes and cuts on my legs every summer, but I still keep coming back to them ;-p

    @shanaber Glad that you are feeling better! Wow, you have trails with nice bathrooms? Sounds like any runners dream come true :grin:

    @PastorVincent good luck with the house-hunting!

    @sarahthes Sorry you are sick. Get well soon!

    @taylorlegal welcome to the challenge :smile:

    @skippygirlsmom Great race, congratulations!

    @rheddmobile Happy birthday!

    @hanlonsk Great pictures! It's so hard to capture wild animals, usually I don't manage to snap a photo ((I've seen a fox a couple of times, and a large group of boar once, but no way to prove it ^^))

    @biketheworld lol, me too! only if I could make any wish, maybe I'd want to be a *lot* faster :mrgreen:

    @shanaber I'm a bit jealous of your cooler weather. I love the cloudy sky in the picture, I want some of those clouds too! :wink:

    Had a busy day yesterday and was up until 4am. I did sleep in, but still exhausted. Also, it is hot outside. Those 2 factors made it a tough run and there was a lot of walking. The schedule shows 12 miles, but I only got 8.93 before I decided I had enough.

    Despite the very slow average pace (due to a lot of walking), Garmin still estimated Aerobic Training Effect at 3.0 (improving). Maybe the heat increased my HR.

    Okay, just when I thought I had seen everything.... A sky diving ultra trail run?!? That race is WAY to hardcore for me!

    @5BeautifulDays thanks, it was a nice one. I love the medal, it’s made out of wood. You get one for each race and if you do them all you get a plaque at the end to hang them on. I hope you are okay?


    There is a series of trail runs around here called the Backyard Burn that I think does something like that with the medals. If I can get my mileage up, I want to do the fall series. They do 5 races and you can choose 5 mile or 10 mile options (although I think they're a little loose with the mileage...the 5 miler is basically a 10K).

    Also, I'm fine! I just had one of those pesky womanly procedures that wound up hurting more and making me more exhausted than I had planned for. I ran the day after and was fine, but then the next several days were just blah for running. :)
