    By the end of the day, the battery is already low, so probably not enough for music. I can't get lost, same route all the time. And if i fall? Rub some dirt on it and get back up... 😉

    I have an iPhone with a mophie - which I keep snapped right onto the phone. It's basically a back-up battery that recharges the phone. I love it and it has been a life saver many times - whether on my bike or long runs or whenever the battery runs low. I just flip a little switch and presto - I'm back to 100% battery.

    I have an external battery too. I have it today, but doubt i use it for radio since i need to bike.

    I just need to remember to charge it, i dont leave it on my phone. When its 100° out i cant use it, or any gps/satellite outside. My phone gives me warnings that its too hot.

    I did round up my son's old mp3 player. So... Might make that work for now. Lots of great running music :wink:

    @ContraryMaryMary - you got my vote!

    @sarahthes - hopefully you'll heal right up and be back full force. I was looking at my past races just two nights ago and wondered "why didn't I run anything in 2017?" And then remembered - I lost an entire year to PF. This will NOT happen to you! If I would have paid attention to the pain when it first started I probably would have healed faster - but I completely disregarded it until one day I couldn't even walk it hurt so bad. Lesson learned.

    Managed 2 miles before work - 3 if you count the 1 mile walking the dog. However, I'll call it 2.

    June goal - 44/44
    July goal - 52/52
    August goal - 55/57 miles
    Sept goal - 32/60 miles

    Sept. 30 - Wineglass Half Marathon; Corning, NY
    October 7 - Viking Dash Half Marathon; Toledo, OH

    Hello, I was here a few months ago, and fell off the wagon big time. I have just signed up for a 5K at the end of October, and hoping you all will take me back.

    My goal since I am late and not good at this will be 17 miles for Sept (HERE GOES NOTHING)

    Upcoming Race
    Oct 27th - Monster Dash 5K

    Welcome back! You've totally got this!

    OMG dudes, my husband booked us a hotel RIGHT NEXT TO a biking/running path! I didn't even think those existed in suburban Kansas! Maybe I'll get to run this weekend after all.

    Suburbs? I have noticed there are a lot of biking / running paths in suburban midwest areas and more popping up all the time. There are also a lot of rails-to-trails trails in the rural midwest... ya know, if you are looking for some real distance.

    @ContraryMaryMary - I voted for you and left a small comment quoting @JessicaMcB . She should copyright her saying and use it with her shoe sponsor as a sales tagline attached to a muddy trail run picture.

    You were in the lead by a small amount. Go vote for Mary -

    In spite of living in Minnesota for almost 20 years, I'm afraid that I'm kind of a snob when it comes to the rest of the Midwest. This is the second time I've been impressed by a trail system running through what I'd dismissed as a "car town".

    5 easy miles around the park, weather is still lovely. Got home and the AC is broken, and it's supposed to get hot again by tomorrow. AC guy is supposed to be here within a couple of hours. I truly hope he can fix it today because I cannot sleep in the heat. And also that it doesn't cost all my money to fix, darn it!
