    Good morning HUG A RUNNER folks. I was able to get my fitbit to sync, but it has only updated once. Anyone out there that has an up to date syncing?

    I'm thinking there are a few bugs still in the system.

    I logged into the tracker and synced Strava about an hour ago but won't get out for a walk until later this afternoon so I'll know then whether it's synced and working correctly or not.

    Seems like a fun idea -- I always mean to log running miles for the year and forget (or it gets me too upset if my tracker doesn't work or I forget to use it). I'll never run 2019 miles, but if I include regular walks too perhaps it's doable? Will have to think about it and check out the link.

    I think you can manually add using the calendar

    I didn’t know you could sync your tracker. I did 3.4 miles on the treadmill and I entered it manually.

    Seems like I have to sync/disconnect/sync - this is a PITA! So, I will probably enter manually point forward.

    Also, syncing your tracker gives you the misc steps. I really don’t want to count my walks to the bathroom or walking around my office - I want to count TRUE INTENTIONAL EXERCISE.

    I am counting anything right now. We are hanging out in hospital for the next 5 days . We have gotten a hotel room so I was able to use treadmill today. Yesterday I just roamed around hospital hallways.

    I walked 8 miles this morning and Strava synced it correctly! I’m liking this challenge even though I won’t even get close to 2019 miles next year but thanks for introducing us to it, OP!

    Ok, the family has left, food has been put away and kitchen cleaned.

    I am proud of my 5k today. I shaved 0:45 off each mile from the race 2 weeks ago. This makes me happy.

    I am really trying to focus on my form and not just finishing. My oldest daughter, who is in the military, suggested that I focus on lengthening my strides and paying close attention to how much time neither foot was on the ground.

    The stride thing made perfect sense, but my time off the ground.... that seemed bizarre to me initially, but once I was seeing it in action it made sense, too

    The course today was much hillier than the last. The ups was easier to focus on strides. The downs I focused on both. It really felt good to feel the longer strides and floating down the hills.

    47 ran/ 50 committed. I’ll hit my Nov goal tomorrow. 100 for December!!
