    @autumnblade75 What a great color!

    @MegaMooseEsq Our next two races are the same! I'm hoping it won't be too cold on Saturday.

    Travelling for work today so had the always-fun hotel treadmill experience.

    2/1: 6m
    2/2: 4.25m
    2/3: 2.25m
    2/4: 3.25m

    Oh hey, missed this earlier! I think I'd noticed a bit ago that you were doing those two as well - want to try and meet up for a MFP photoshoot before one of them? Are you doing the Hot Dash 5k or 10 mile? I really hope I wasn't being overly optimistic when I signed up for the 10 mile...

    @MegaMooseEsq

    Yes, I think it would be fun to meet up for a pre-race picture!

    I'm doing the 10 mile. I've done it the past few years and it's a really enjoyable race.

    @polskagirl01 - I am pretty sure whatever you make "public" anyone can see which is why I don't do any of the challenges. I really don't want any of my runs or races shared with the public domain within Strava.

    I thought so, too. But MFP club members said they didn't see my race that I made "public". I have everything else set to "followers only" (including the posts I'm complaining about).
    You can see where it has the privacy notice, right above a kudo from mystery dating-site bot-girl. balj98adofg9.jpg
    @hamsterwheel6 I guess it's not just me :(

    Did you reach out to support at Strava and ask?

    Yes, will update you all when I get an answer :)

    I requested to follow one of them, with no Strava history... you have stalkers. I didn’t see that they were part of this group either. You can unfollow me or revoke my following and I can tell you what I see if ya want.

    @noblsheep You and your country doing okay? Dh says there was a rise here and suddenly the updates stoped. Old news perhaps, or censorship. Hope everyone is well and stays that way.

    Now they have disappeared. It was funny though - I get notifications when anyone else gives kudos, but nothing for these.
    Apparently that chat box thingy on Strava that I wrote my question to was automated as well and gave me a bunch of articles that didn't answer my question either. One was close, but said I had to also set "Profile Page, Group Activity and Activities" to "Followers only", or else summaries of activities will be visible to others... except I already have my settings exactly that way. Working on a support ticket now.

    Today and tomorrow are rest days, I'm trying to get caught up on work but am distracted.

    Yeah, the automated chat is worthless you need to reach out to the actual support people. Here are the directions:

    Security is the reason I didn't go to Strava

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7956935/SAS-troops-names-personal-details-exposed.html

    I don't think anyone is really interested in my details but it seems data always has a value to someone.
