@kristinegift awesome getting in a 20 miler, especially during a 60 mile week! You deserve a good rest now.
Thanks @Scott6255!0 -
I have a question for the Strava users. How is someone I am not following and who is not following me, able to give me kudos on a run that is only visible to my followers? I don't know this person but she is part of the MFP Group and is following one other runner that I am.0

Well after feeling a bit light-headed on Friday morning I was still a bit dizzy on Saturday so decided to rest! Which meant that to get my distance in I'd have to go longer on Sunday! Had planned 15km on Sunday but ended up doing 20km! I have never done as much in my life! It was foggy and misty and meant my sweat was stuck to me the whole way, no comfortable!
Went out this morning for a 5km recovery, just to make sure my legs will still function! And they do!
Going to go to my first parkrun on the 2nd march to see what my 5k time is! Hopefully I'll be able to do a non stop 5k!
I'm using "first day to 5k" program on www.podrunner.com
2nd - 10.44km (w4, w3, w2)
3rd - 10.31km (w4, w3, w2)
4th - 1.84 km (short due to leggings being too big!)
5th - 3.84km (w4)
6th - 4.08km (w4)
7th - 4.11km (w4)
8th - 4.18km (w4)
9th - 11.12km (w4, w3, w2)
10th - 11.18km (w5-1, w4, we)
11th - 4.08km (w5 d1)
12th - took the morning off... After 10 days straight my body needed a rest!
13th - 4.15km (w5 d1)
14th - 4.00km (w5 d1)
15th- 4.18km (w5 d1)
16th - rest (taking my son to fortnite competition!)
17th - 13.35km (w5d2, w5d1, w4 & a bit of w3!)
18th - 4.11km (w5d1)
19th - 4.35km (w5d2)
20th - 5.97km (w5d2, part of w5d1)
21st - 4.63km (w5d2)
22nd - 4.62km (w6d1)
23rd - rest (felt dizzy...)
24th - 20.25 (w6d2, w6d1, w5d3, w5d2, w5d1)
25th - 5.00 (moved to freeway to 10k w1)

Hmm. Idk. Might pose that to strava. Maybe you both show up on the club feed. I can see other that I'm not following there.3 -

Yeah, my guess is the club feed. But I would ask Strava to be sure.0 -
i tried to run outside. the trails were pretty icy. the wind was 30-50mph gusts. i ended up high stepping thru snowbanks and walking slowly over ice. it was so frustrating. still ended up in two snow banks. but we did get to see the sunset. the wind sounded like the ocean which was kinda peaceful.12

@MobyCarp Congratulations for the 1st place AG finish!
@martaindale Congrats for the 10K PR. And a belt buckle as race bling, how cool is that?
@ariceroni Kudos on your double-digit long run!
@shanaber Your post reminded me that I should wear my arm sleeves more. I always forget that I have them, and end up starting with a long-sleeved shirt and pushing up the sleeves during my run. I used to wear a pair of modified long socks for this purpose, one day decided to buy fancy dedicated sleeves instead, and since then they are in my closet
No idea about the Strava question. Have you tried opening the activity page from a private browser window to see if it is really private?
@rheddmobile Great race, and great race report!

@rheddmobile: Congratulations! Sounds like a whole lot of fun and hard work. Your description of the tall, athletic man about your age made me laugh - it sounds like he feels about mud how I'm feeling about snow right now - officially done, over it, no more!2

Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2019 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Run at least 4 5k races.
Get under 30:00 and a PR for 5k.
Average at least 135k per month, which would put me over 1,000 miles for the year.
Run the Year Team: Five for Nineteen
Yesterday it was 52 degrees F and windy. Today it was 22 degrees F and windier. When the wind hit me in the face, it seemed to suck all the energy out of me.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K
6-1 Freedom 5K
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5k7 -
Congrats @martaindale on the 10K PR. Awesome bling!
Congratulations on your race and overall AG place @rheddmobile!
Thank you @Scott6255, @kgirlhart, @PastorVincent. I forgot to mention, I met my goal for February with yesterday's run. This was my third month with a 30 mile goal and I made it, at 34.85 now with a couple more runs on the schedule.
Speaking of which, today is the official start of training for the 12k race in May; thankfully it starts as a rest day. I was thinking before my run yesterday how the mileage this week is so low... I mean, I was planning to run 6 miles in one day, then just 6 miles over the entire next week. I am excited to start, but even more grateful for the shorter runs this week! Right now I'm ready to bathe in icy hot, and have already spent a couple fabulous sessions with my foam roller. I also need a nap, and it's only 8am.

@shanaber Other people can see your activity if you are in the same group (even if you are not official Strava buddies). If you click on the MFP group and the click on "recent activity" you can see the activity of everyone in the group.1 -

Greeting from one of my fellow run club members to another who was back with the group this weekend for the first time since coming off of a stress fracture injury: " Hey Mark, great to see you back. Did your doctor clear you to run or did you find a new doctor?" Thought you guys would appreciate it.17

@rheddmobile - Congratulations!! That race sounds brutal but fun in a masochistic way
@Sparx_81 - Whoohoo - 20km is no joke! Great job!!
@mbaker566 - So.Much.Snow!! I am impressed that you even attempted to run in all of that! The beautiful sunset does make it somewhat worth it though. Also I think it is a good thing that Speed Demon is black, otherwise you might lose him in a snowbank!
@_nikkiwolf_ - I think that was @kgirlhart who commented on the sleeves but I have them and love them too.
@amymoreorless - yep your meme pretty much identifies me. The PT asked me when it started hurting and how much running I had done after it started Hope your foot is feeling ok and the swelling is gone!
Thanks all for the Strava information. I haven't ever looked at the group activity but it makes sense. I wasn't worried about the specific person - just a little freaked about who could see my information when I thought I had it set up a specific way.2 -
I had a serious case of "lazy" last week. The only run between Sunday and Sunday was Tuesday - and I forced that and it was short. I don't really know why. I did have a few nights of poor sleep. And days without sunshine zap me. But I think mainly I don't like being hot and despite 4 fans blowing the treadmill is so dang hot
But I broke my 4 day no-run streak yesterday with 55 min (not counting warm up and cool down) on the treadmill. A few more days in the month to hit my goal of 60 min. I'll do that Thursday.13 -
@rheddmobile Awesome job! Congrats on the AG series! That trail sounds serious.
@Sparx_81 Doing great towards your goal! That's a lot of mileage!2
