    @eleanorhawkins That sounds like so much fun! You painted the scence so nicely and now I want to do this race too! Thanks for the giggle. Ok, I didn't actually giggle but you did make me cry a little. :D

    I ran 5 miles this morning. The temp was a nice 56F. If only we would get some rain. I'm afraid we aren't going to see any pretty leaves this fall. Some are already falling off the trees but they are just dried up and a crunchy brown.

    @zeesparrow I am so sorry for your loss.

    @Camaramandy648 Welcome to the group! You don't have to set a mileage goal if you don't want to. You can always set your goal to run so times per week and then when you get a feel for how much you are running you can set a mileage goal if you want. Or you can keep your goal as days per week if that works better for you.

    I ran 5.52 miles this morning. It was a much better run than yesterday. It was warmer today at 77°F, Feels like 77°F, Humidity 72%, Dew point 67°F than yesterday's 72°F, Feels like 73°F, Humidity 90%, Dew point 69°F, but the lower humidity today really helped. It wasn't the best running weather ever, but it was an improvement and my run was a lot more enjoyable.

    Beautiful early fall weather today. Unfortunately, I slept in and have a big assignment due today and people coming over this evening, so I'm not sure a run is going to happen. I'm going to try and work outside for a while, at least.

    Okay! Thank you for the encouragement! Since my workouts consist of twenty minutes at home, six days a week, I run in the gym on Saturdays before I work out. I could set a goal for an additional run each week - outdoor. Then get signed up for some races and obstacle course runs (personal favorite).

    Welcome! That sounds like a good place to start for sure. I've never done an obstacle course run but they sound like a ton of fun!

    @eleanorhawkins Made me laugh! And think..hmmm :p Sounds like a lot of fun!
    @zeesparrow sorry of you loss
    @Camaramandy648 Welcome! Set whatever goals you like!
    @juliet3455 good luck with the Achilles

    Did some speed intervals - 1min/1 rest x10, with 1 mile each warm up and cool down, total of a little over 4 miles.
    I need to do more of these I know if I want to increase my speed - They sure are tough though..

    @zeesparrow sorry for your loss.

    @eleanorhawkins I remember you reporting on that race last year! Enjoy (men with big guns haha). I visited Malaga 10 years ago this month. Loved it! Was very hot lol

    I've just woken up and can hear hail on the windows... Wonder if the gym dreadmill is working?

    Ran 8km this morning, finally starting to feel human again following the gastro whatevertheheckitwas that knocked me out at the end of last week. It was supposed to be an easy pace but I kept thinking (and getting excited) about the race I'm signed up for on Friday evening and it ended up being a minimum HM race pace run. Oh well, just have to pray the legs don't hurt too much on Friday... might take them for a swim tomorrow instead of taking a rest day, I've started using the local indoor pool for cross training and it seems to be making my legs happy :-)

    So yeah, this race is one I ran last year and REALLY enjoyed. It's organised by the Spanish National Police force, starts at 8pm and the route is along the waterfront in Málaga harbour. Think sea breeze, boats and people to watch, sunset and.... a police helicopter circling overhead the entire time making you feel like a baddie running away from the cops! Awesome way to make you go faster lol (and if you're female, or that way inclined, the muscular policemen you know are at the finish lines showing off big guns, sniffer dogs or police vehicles provides further motivation lol).
    Can you tell I'm looking forward to it at all?

    September goal: 110km. Run so far: 104.14km..... had to miss a run last week but should still make it!

    Ok, I really wanna do this race now too!

    @Elise4270 I love this picture of her. She loves butter and knows enough to get in the sink while I’m eating my breakfast in the morning to lick the knife! She also
    loves bacon bits I put in my scrambled eggs.

    @zeesparrow - So young! 😢 It was so nice that you ran you in her memory. {{HUGS}}
    @Camaramandy648 - Welcome! Maybe you could run to/from the gym if it isn't too far from home?
