@shanaber thanks for your input on the Oiselle Voile
@Faebert great job on the hill
@Teresa502 I was thinking the same thing about the day light this morning, yeah!
@enaliba I told my friend the other day I need to move my refrigerator because it’s way too close to my work area now. At least in the office I would just not have too many snacks around to eat. When I post long posts I do them from home on my computer in word and then copy and paste this way I can make comments as I’m reading. A few of my friends are race directors and they are getting killed from people canceling the charges from races, not only do they lose that money they have to pay the credit card company a fee. I would have them talk to the race director if they truly will not run it even if it’s not cancelled and ask them for to defer the race. I have one already that has given me a credit to use at another time.

Hello everyone. I've read through everything, once again I feel awful I can't reply or mention everyone. Hugs and kudos to all.
Not sure if I mentioned I ran a HM on Saturday..wasn't the plan, but was feeling good and just decided might as well see if I can do better than my last disaster attempt. Happy to say, it went much better, and got my PR. Especially as the first half is nothing but uphill with some large elevation gains. Of course, coming back downhill helped too.
Went biking Sunday and did another HM on the bike! LOL
Monday rest, yesterday 7 miles, and today 5 on the dreadmill, only because like everyone else, the weather here is a roller coaster and it was a feels like of 34F. I've run in that many times over the winter, but I just didn't feel like getting the gear out. It wasn't too bad as while I was running my son was on his on-line class and it was cool to see. Also good thing cause I had to stop to go the bathroom about a mile in which almost never happens to me..
Back to work I go, I swear it seems I'm working more from home then I do at the office...

@hamsterwheel6 this thread always goes so quickly you just need to not try to reply to everyone who you would have to be on all day. I try to play catch up every other day and just reply to the things that really grab me. Great job on the HMs you need to add in swimming and you'll have hit it all.
I'm like you I run all winter and get used to it being cold, well Alabama cold, but after a few weeks of 50s and 60s in the morning this 30 again is for the birds and even they don't like it.
Again I agree I work more from home.5 -

Thanks for thinking of me, yep Because our province has been case free for 15 days, I have come out of self isolation On Tuesday morning. when I got to hug my kids, it was fantastic. I spent all day playing and having fun with them. They were definitely very clingy as well. I'm working evenings atm which is why I haven't been on and updated, when I've been with the kids, I've put my phone away. Been nice to get off technology for a bit too haha6 -

Biggest hugs to everyone who needs them. Those dealing with family stuff, my thoughts go out to you. Fortunately the worst I have to deal with is a stubborn MIL whose still going shopping despite the lock down, and us kids willing to do her shopping for her. It must be hard dealing with so much other stuff atm as well.
Managed to sleep in a little - 730 instead of 630 lol. Last night of work for the week - just done 7 days in a row. Now have a long weekend. Cannot wait. I'll be trying to make mirror glaze for Jessicas birthday cake. Thought I have all this time, let's try some new techniques! Fortunately I already have all the ingredients so this should be fun.
My chaffey is mostly healed, will be fine for Saturdays run. I'm really looking forward to it!4 -

I found out yesterday that one of the rest home clusters (15 cases) is about 1.5km away from my home - in fact I run past St Maragarets almost everyday. So much for my blissful assumption that’s there’s probably no cases in my neighbourhood. 😩7 -

Oh hugs!
Yeah we are reminded every day that it won't take much to have an outbreak again. All this talk of lifting restrictions early is frustrating. Best case we need 2 weeks of no new cases... But I can't see staying in lock down that long. For those not following, we have averaged only 18 new cases per day for the last 4 days, but we have so many people in rest homes now testing positive. We have jumped to 9 deaths, and when you've only had 1400 cases, that's a high death rate.
We have what we call "clusters" where 10 or more cases are associated with an event or work place. About half our clusters are now rest homes (retirement home) where residents are testing positive.
Honestly I wonder if we will see a spike in positive cases in the next day or so after the aggressively test all the residents in these rest homes (and staff I hope) and they see more have it.

Oh, I can not keep up either. I catch what I can, and hopefully, it is enough.
I think that is true of most of us. 2 -

I too am so thankful for this group
8 miles this afternoon. No excuses, but was a terrible run. Only the last mile felt good. The only thing I can think of is I got less than 3 hours of sleep last night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@hamsterwhee6 great job on your HM! Way to go!
And I can't tolerate the cold anymore either. It snowed this morning and I could not deal.
@Avidkeo great news about coming out of isolation and being with your family again. Hope the trends will continue for you guys and there won't be a rebound of cases - and that we'll see the same thing soon!
I'm so glad for this group too. We can't all reply to everyone all the time but there's lots of supportive interaction and it's an outlet to talk about things our face-to-face friends and family maybe don't want to hear about or we don't want to share.

I woke up with good intentions this morning, and almost none of them came to fruition. After my coffee and small breakfast I dressed for a workout and decided to do a "pushing and pulling" workout my trainer had posted that had a lot of pushups and pullups among other things. The first thing was a chest press lying on the floor and I was immediately light headed, and when I flipped over to do pushups I was dizzy and nauseous. I gave it a few minutes but felt terrible and ended up giving it up. I decided that this was probably from not drinking nearly enough water lately and I hadn't eaten very well. I ate something a little more substantial and tried to remember to hydrate more. I also ended up taking a little nap (which meant then I didn't get a ton of work done today).
I didn't get back to the workout but I did run this afternoon and it was fine. I still need to remember to drink more water. I tend to have coffee in the morning these days, then some tea later, but very little water. When I'm going to the gym or out to run more I take bottles of water with me and drink more but at home I seem to forget I need it.
This was running streak day 120. Not a fabulous run, but not terrible and it's done. I need to go get myself another glass of water.6 -

Two miles after work tonight.
Work fed us today as a thank you for working during through the COVID-19 stuff. Pizza, chips, cookies, and soda. Trust me, I’m super appreciative, but carb a little? I only had the pizza. I am trying SO HARD to lose this weight I’ve gained.5 -
Breaking my streak and not running this morning. I’m really sad as I feel like my legs and lungs are up to it. But yesterday I developed a nasty pain in the back of my neck and shoulders and it’s still sore today. Also had some stomach issues. I’m pretty sure they aren’t connected and not anything sinister. But I also don’t want to take any risks with my health or that of my community so staying in for now...
Stay safe everyone x9
