@Avidkeo, I’m glad your husband wasn’t admitted. I hope he feels better soon. I hope your leg feels better this week too.
@Lexigraph Pretty place to walk!
@hamsterwheel6 Happy Anniversary!
@katharmonic Happy MFP Anniversary! I got something a couple of weeks ago saying it was my 5th or 6th (I honestly don’t remember). You have made so much awesome progress and should be proud!!!1 -
Yesterday, I ran my “Run 2 Stay Classy Soft J 5K.” I was a hot, sweaty mess with it being 77* and 95% humidity. Slower than many other 5Ks, but a decent time considering the heat. I then walked another 5K distance to get in some miles for my “Run Across Ga.”
I don’t know if anyone else has joined the Rock n Roll Virtual Race Series, but I looked at it yesterday and figured it would give me some weekly run goals to work towards, and maybe I can earn enough points to get a discount on shoes or something...Today I’m supposed to get an 8K distance. The air outside already feels like a wall of gross, so it will likely be a slow trek.

Sunny and upper 50s F today, with a light breeze from the east. Started out slow; ended up at threshold, so it was a crazy run. Saw two deer where I've never seen deer (or even deer tracks) before. They were both bucks, and had the bewildered look of just having been kicked out by mama to make room for the new baby(s).
Happy double anniversary to @hamsterwheel6 and @katharmonic!!! Tomorrow my wife will celebrate 46 years of having to put up with me -- not an easy task.

I went out for an EARLY run this Sunday morning. Early for me anyway, at 7 am. It was gorgeous out. Just 57 degrees and the humidity was not as awful. I met a couple of friends and we took a very leisurely run around the lakes on the soft trail. There were a ton of runners out there taking advantage this morning and at one point a bunch of us converged at an intersection in the trails - it kind of felt like a mini local race was going on to see all the people in the run community I hadn't seen for a while.
I'm going kayaking today so I'm very excited. I need to get moving actually if I'm going to make my meetup time. Cheers all!4 -
@katharmonic What an amazing transformation, you should be super proud!
@marisap2010 Ya, it's a lovely spot, I'm super lucky to live just a few steps away from the beach. I'm trying to get out more, especially now that the stay home orders have been relaxed a bit. The dogs love the morning walks too, and I'm committed to staying as active as I can while I rest my shoulder.3 -
Happy double anniversary to @hamsterwheel6 and @katharmonic!!! Tomorrow my wife will celebrate 46 years of having to put up with me -- not an easy task.
W00T! Congrats all three of you!0 -
Congratulations @Tramboman for your wife's grit 😁 But seriously, you must be doing something right!!!
And congratulations also to @marisap2010 for your 5th (or 6th!) MFP anniversary!! That's awesome ❣️
All this anniversary talk got me curious, so I tried looking back to when I joined, and my profile just says June 2017. I have a 1098 day logging streak, so I guess my 3rd MFP anniversary was just a few days ago!

@marisap2010 Thank you! And nice swag. I thought about doing that one! I did sign up for the Run Solo aka star wars May 4th and Mothers Day Tough as Mother. Did those and the medals were cool! I agree with these helping staying motivated.
@scott6255 @Tramboman Thanks! And wow congrats to you and your wife!
Slept in late today, was great! Today will be XT - involving house stuff and walking around grocery store and laundry. Haha.
Happy Sunday!2 -
@rheddmobile - so glad you were able to get out for a run in the early early morning!
@Lexigraph - I wish I live steps from the beach! I would be out there ever morning and evening! Beautiful!
@hamsterwheel6 - glad you had a nice anniversary dinner out. Ours is next month and I expect we will just celebrate at home.
@Tramboman - tell Mrs Tramboman Happy Anniversary! Oh and you too 😁. You are just a few years ahead of us @ 43 years in July.
@scott6255 - I guess I am not very observant - I never noticed that our profiles showed when we joined. Apparently it has been 9 years for me last February - whoa! My logging streak is not that long though, maybe 5-6 years because I kept losing it early on and didn't see it as an important thing to maintain.
I got out for a short run yesterday with some stops and walking. It's going to get hot, hot, hotter here this week with temps in the 90s and winds. Fortunately for us we get super low humidity with the hot winds making hydration a must. Need to dig out my vest since using the drinking fountains is not an option.2 -
Some lovely celebrations on here today! @Tramboman and @hamsterwheel6 happy anniversary! And happy mfp anniversary @katharmonic! A very inspiring story which is similar to my own, except I’m nowhere near the athlete you are!! Great determination @quilteryoyo I knew you could do it! And well done on the race @marisap2010. Sending healing thoughts to those of you sick or injured.
I had a terrible night’s sleep last night and wasn’t feeling great for long run day. Pushed through for 10K (6.2m) and gratefully called it quits!

Good luck and happy runs everyone!

SUNDAY UPDATE - Pastor Vincent vs Boston!
For those new/or with short memories I recently hired a coach to help me run faster - with the goal of a BQ in 2021. It is probably an unrealistic goal, but I am not getting any younger, so going for it. Several people asked to be updated on what the coach has in for me so I post each week what the coach's plan was, and what I actually did.
So here we go:
DAY :::: PLAN :::: ACTUAL
Monday :::: 5k race pace, 3mile cool down :::: Rest Day
Tuesday :::: Rest Day ::::: 10 miles
Wednesday :::: 8 miles :::: 10 miles
Thursday :::: 8 miles :::: Rest Day
Friday :::: Rest Day ::::: 10 miles
Saturday ::::: 14 miles :::: Glutened!
Sunday ::::: 6 miles ::::: 11.5 miles
Total Miles: 41.5 out of 36 planned
So this would have been the plan had I been back to full running schedule but have a minor injury that I am rehabbing. I think next week I will return to following the plan and see how things hold up. Coach has given me some strength exercises in addition to the running to help correct the cause of the injury so we will see how next week foes.
This would have been a cut back week (except Monday which was supposed to be a time trial) so it probably would have been the better week for the return to running, ah well.
I am annoyed I missed the 14 mile run cause I needed to know if I was recovered enough to push that far. Ah well, guess I will find out next week instead. 8 -
This is from my coach, some good information on heat training for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere (for the rest of you, put this in the to read folder come spring folder lol)

Sorry I have not been around, busy times for many of us to make ends meet. Happy with my 12 months so far. Catch up when I can.

June Goal: 100 Miles
6/2: 6.55 miles
6/3: 7.06 miles
6/4: 6.72 miles
6/7: 10.07 miles
30.41/100 miles completed for June
593.62/1000 miles for Run the Year Team Pavement Pounders
I ran 10 miles this morning. It was a good run, but it was hot. 74°F feels like 75°F at the start and 81°F feels like 85°F at the end. And that was the coolest time of the day. I usually take Monday as a rest day, but I may switch and run tomorrow and take Tuesday as a rest day. It is supposed to be 71° at 6:00 am and on Tuesday it is supposed to 81° at 6:00 am. I still don't have my Garmin but the tracking says the replacement should be here on Tuesday. I didn't have my Garmin for the run, but I did get some Aftershokz Trekz headphones and I have to say so far I really like them.
Happy Anniversary @Tramboman!
Great transformation @TheMrWobbly!
2020 races:
11/7/20: Run for 57th AHC Half Marathon3 -
Now the tracking says my Garmin will be here tomorrow. So I can't decide if I want to run without my Garmin when it is less hot, or wait and run with it when it is hot. Definitely a first world problem. 😄4

My husband was playing around learning an ePub program so he made a little book about our winter trail race series, which ended in March.

It’s stupid hot here too! Heat index 95 thirty minutes after sundown and it’s not supposed to drop below 76 all night. This is August weather, what the heck is going on here? At least even though we are still under curfew they have pushed it back to 11 pm now.
@TheMrWobbly Excellent! You look much less wobbly now!
@Tramboman Congrats on your anniversary!
@marisap2010 Congrats on the race and your MFP anniversary!3
