    5 miles this morning. Temp was great for shorts and short-sleeve tech shirt at 42F. I ran with a friend who hasn't been running much since the pandemic hit so we took it slow and easy. Since I was getting ready at the gym I decided to lift a few weights before I showered and got ready for work.

    @martaindale pretty place to run
    @katharmonic I hate when I course isn’t marked well. I ran a 5K trail race last year that ended up being over 6 miles and I came to the finish from the opposite direction as everyone else. Ha ha
    @T1dCarnivoreRunner that is terrible, hopefully they found him.
    @noblsheep what a weekend, I’m glad you were able to be there for your friend, I hope her baby is well soon. I can relate to work, can you believe I put 2 hours of vacation on my timecard each week because I’m at the CAP they allow you to carry and I don’t want to lose the 3 hours I accrue each week, then I’m actually work 45 – 50 hours a week. I decided come hell or high water I’m going to see Skip. On my project they thought they would make our software releases smaller and more frequent, okay so my team (the testers) have NO breaks in between testing. We literally are testing for the next 2 years. So stupid.
    @Teresa502 it was a perfect morning here too.

    In a facebook group I'm in from my run club we're talking about struggling with getting runs/mileage in right now. I decided I need to plan ahead where and when I'm going to run for the week, because taking it day by day is leading to some very short runs for me. So this week I have Monday through Thursday runs planned, and a tentative for Friday. I don't have a mileage goal for these runs, but I do have a plan for time and place. Bonus - the forecast looks fabulous for the week.

    I have to plan ahead too. I'm definitely one of those people who is way more likely to stick with a plan that just relying on myself to generate a plan day by day. I put mine in my calendar as a morning appt, usually about 1 month at a time. Then I can move it if the weather or my work schedule changes and I need to adjust. But having it there makes me feel responsible to it.

    That's why I use Hal, despite my love/hate relationship with him. Accountability, I guess.
    Great news @Camaramandy648
