    @Lazy_Bones_85 sorry for the loss of your beautiful cat! It is hard to believe you could train her (training and cat rarely are seen in the same sentence ;) )
    Welcome @yvonneangelgoh.
    @mobycarp 17th of 1000 overall, and 1st of 64 in my age group is FANTASTIC! You the man!
    @midwesterner85 welcome back from gall bladder surgery! That is a strong comeback. Take it slow and easy!

    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

    Scheduled rest day today. Sunny and cool again with light wind. Weather is supposed to improve temperature wise over the next week or so.

    2019 Races:

    4-13 Shine the Light 5K (Registered)
    6-1 Freedom 5K (Will be off the schedule due to another commitment)
    6-30 Strides for Starfish 5K

    Hey guys, I'm way behind but trying to catch up.

    @workaholic_nurse wow! I'm so glad you came out of that with only minor injuries! Just one question though...when should we be there the cookout? I take my steak medium rare, btw. I'll bring some bacon.

    @MobyCarp fantastic race! 2nd AG without even trying, dang!!

    @HonuNui congrats on the 10K!

    @katharmonic I've not heard of the I-35 challenge, but I have a half-hatched plan to someday run three October marathons, three weekends in a row. One series would be strictly in Minnesota (Twin Cities, Bemidji, and Mankato), the other series would be Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Des Moines. I hadn't considered Kansas City, but if my daughter still lives there when/if I ever do it, I might consider that instead.

    @MegaMooseEsq In general, my thought process is:
    • Is it my "A" race for the year? Sign up for it right away for the motivation.
    • Is it one I really want to run but it usually sells out, or is a lottery? Sign up right away.
    • Does it save me a lot of money to sign up early? Consider signing up just before it goes up in price.
    • Does the race gradually increase in price the closer it gets? Sign up in time to get the shirt.
    I've had a few races I couldn't run because of injury or schedule changes, so it's a balance of having to pay more for signing up later vs. risking losing out entirely because you can't even go. When I injured my foot in October it took away two big races for me, a 10 mile trail race in Kansas City and an 8 hour race in Wisconsin. That would have been a $110 loss but the KC race director let me transfer my $65 fee to the race I did last month with Kody. That is VERY rare to be able to do that, so I was extremely grateful. FWIW, if I sign up for a race but can't make it, I do collect the shirt or other swag if I can.

    @shanaber, the suicidal bug!!! I hate those! I'm glad the rest of your run was fantastic. That Super Bloom looks gorgeous. Sorry you couldn't see it.
