Didn’t get to run until I got off work at 5 so I did a much shorter run to avoid being out after dark for safety reasons.

Am I looking at the wrong one?

ETA: This is the link

This is what I’d been looking at too (clearly, since I’m on this one and not the other). I can’t do the first two slots I signed up for but can still do the last three.

@noblsheep , @Scott6255 , @garygse , @LaDispute57 Miles for Dennis - Would one of you be able to pick-up that 2 hour block hours 5 & 6 between Carol and @HonuNui . I have put myself in for the 3 hour gap after @HonuNui which has me starting at 2300 local time - running in the dark like an Ultra Runner. It's a good thing I know all the RCMP ( Police Officers ) in town so I can give them a warning. Planning to run until I have 26.2 km. Water stash at each end of the park trails.

@7lenny7 like @Elise4270 mentioned using the spoiler helps the page load faster as the pictures can load in the background after the main text/images are loaded. Sounds like you had a great summer and that was a great video clip of the water hazard.

I might need to pull out of this project. Woke up this morning with a mammoth headache and am currently coughing my lungs out. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and try to take the first hour of the gap if I can muster it. If not, I'll dedicate my next marathon to Dennis.

21.1 km Memorial Run for Dennis Ley.
World wide group of MFP friends doing 26.2 hrs of running. So wanted 26.2 km but with no taper/rest my legs disappeared at 17km. Struggled through ( lots of walking ) the last 4 km to get a HM distance in.
-1C and a 3km/h east wind so when I was in the tree cover - open the vent zippers, roll up the ear flaps, get out in the open, close vents and cover the ears - so a lot of funky arm movements to close the vent zippers. Found lithium batteries that fit my Black Diamond Headlamp - 3 hours continuous at highest intensity and not a bit of fading. 2:26am local time - crawling into a nice warm bed.

Did you run a day early?
Carol starts everything off in 7 hours, right?

PastorVincent

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! TODAY IS THE DAY I MARRY MY BABY SISTER OFF

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! How did she get so grown up?

Oh, no run today, unless you count running around like a headless chicken getting final things done.

Elise4270

Y'all dont worry if you have life come up or feel under the weather when its time to run in memory of Dennis.

We'll pull this together as a group. If there are holes then there will be holes. Its okay. I like the idea of a time of reflection and rest in the chaos of the virtual relay. Its parallel to lifes ups and downs. The story of his life through our feet and beating hearts.

---

We're gearing up to travel to our race tomorrow morning. Rain and cold (50's F, 10C) expected to continue here. DH hates running in the rain. I dont mind it. I think it provides a distraction for me. I tend to focus on my pain and areas of weakness on runs. The rain almost offers it's own cadance to grove and connect with, get lost in.

Dang I did - mistranslated the time zone shifts by a full 24hrs. Me bad.
I even had a secondary converter up and now looking at it again realize my error.

Up to 65.5k for October. Did intervals today: 8 minute warmup followed by 6 repetitions of 3 minutes at 10k pace followed by 1 minute of easy pace. Finished off the 7k distance with with what amounted to threshold pace. Much prefer 39 degrees and a light rain to 70 degrees and high humidity.
I'm so proud of my spouse: she signed up for the Casper Crawl 1 mile walk on 10/21 while I'll be running the 5k Spooktacular.

Race recap!

Cool, cloudy, and some sprinkles made for perfect running running weather. I’ve run this course back in May for the Run to Remember and remember that running on grass really sucks. Seeing as I ran a half marathon race 6 days ago and didn’t do much recovery I told myself to take it easy.

Well, I started out fast. I couldn’t really help it. Everyone was so fast around me. I passed people, people passed me... but around the 2 mile marker it thinned out and there wasn’t much passing. I picked off a few people, but there wasn’t enough distance to pick off more

I finished in 25:30, but the course was .09 miles short. Still I’m pretty happy since it was on grass. The muscles around my ankles are already feeling it!

We got to meet our congressman who also ran the race today

It was 41 degrees and raining when I got up, and I was very tempted to put off the long run until tomorrow and crawl back into bed. But, in the name of you never know what you'll get on race day, I made myself go. It was a good chance to test out what I might wear in similar conditions. And it ended up not being so bad. After the first few miles the rain let up to very light and the temp was fine once warmed up. I had gloves on at the start, then took them off, and then was sorry about that so picked them back up again on the next loop.

I was so happy to stop at 15 rather than have to go for 20 again. And now I'm finally officially tapering. Starting to count down in DAYS instead of months and weeks is crazy. 14 days to marathon.

@juliet3455 - It doesn't matter (in my book) that you ran a day early. You ran for Dennis and gave some thought to him, which is what it is all about. I know he could relate to the run that you had, wanting to do 26.2 and the struggle at the end to get to 13.1!
@pastorvincent - Have fun today!!
@Tramboman - It is great that your wife is willing to give it a try! Hopefully she will ave a blast and want to do more!
@zdyb23456 - nice race on the grass! Congratulations!!
@Elise4270 - I have had a hard time resting my foot and not attempting a run just to see... in fact it is raining here (what!?! raining in So California??) and I have just about convinced myself that I must get out and at least try a short rain run. I have been thinking a lot about Dennis again and again during this time and how fortunate we are to be runners and have this group to share with and encourage each other!

Tramboman

@shanaber- Thanks for the kind words. Between us we've lost just about a whole person worth of weight.

Well you still did an awesome job and it was still for Dennis... That counts for me-and I'm guessing most everyone else on here!
KEEP RUNNING EVERYONE!!!!!

I wanted to run 10k today, felt something in my leg about halfway and decided to play it safe by taking the shorter way home. Turns out I'm totally fine but better safe than sorry. Starting over is HARD! I hadn't signed up for the run for Dennis, mostly because of uncertainties about whether I could do it. Sunday is typically my rest day, though, and I'm feeling like I really need it. So I'll probably just be cheering on the rest of you instead. My HM in August ended up being for Dennis, as thinking about him got me through the difficult miles at the end.

10/1-7 Totals: bike 20.4 km, run 15 km

10/8 - run 5.1k
10/9 - run 4.2k
10/10 - rest
10/11 - run 8k
10/12 - bike 10.3k
10/13 - run 7.6k
10/14 -

I just posted a few things over in the relay thread for Dennis. I was looking at the spreadsheet and expected to see some gaps, but only found 2 that were easily fixed. Like Elise said though, I know life happens and even though we have the slots covered, there may be holes and totally understandable. I think it's awesome that we were able to pull something like this together.

@juliet3455 That was an awesome effort to honor Dennis and whether or not it was a day early, the meaning was not lost

Epic. You ran at night in those conditions? So proud to know you and be a part of this group.

Off to my event in about an hour. We run when we run. KeepRunningFatkids!

Can we have friends on garmin? How do we add them? If you want to add me, I'm Kim Lewis in Opononi

@PastorVincent Enjoy the Day. I keep thinking of the singing Irish Priest who nailed Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah at a wedding.

Have a great race @orphia!
