    @kgirlhart yay for new job!

    Personally I don't mind getting up early for exercise, it's the best time of the day. Or as @Scott6255 said, run to work!

    Am feeling pretty tired as it's the last big push before the Auckland Half on November 1st. It's only the 8th of October and I'm already at 90km for the month. I need a nap. Fortunately tomorrow is a recovery day, but my coach has still scheduled an hour of yoga and an hour of cross training. I think he may be trying to kill me.

    Lol just hang out, taper is coming hehe.
    I'll be living through you. To think, I was going to be running the full! Oh well, I will be doing the half next year. Tempted to take 2 weeks off, do that then the Kerikeri Half if it's only 2 weeks later.

    Wow! 90km already @ContraryMaryMary ! You are a beast!

    @Mari33a Glad they were able to put stents in your dad's heart. He should be ok and feel a lot better, once he recovers. Also glad they caught the prostate cancer early, but I know that "c" word is scary. Hugs.

    @marisap2010 Hope today goes better for you.

    That’s a woohoo @TheMrWobbly
    @kristinajeang I’m a fan of going to a good local running store to be fitted – I also never wear the same pair 2 days in a row and replace at about 400 miles at the most. I see you got that advice 100 times already ha ha I have a Fleet Feet by me and I buy most of my shoes there, though I’m a Brooks Launch girl and if I see those babies on sale somewhere else I buy them, the last model is always on sale a Academy and if I like the colors I’m there. Besides the fitting aspect of the store they have rewards so spend $200 and get $15 off or something like that, I have returned shoes I’ve worn for a month with no box, no questions asked for a full refund. At least by me EVERYONE who works there runs, the own just ran his 175th ultra or something insane like that. There’s a retired professional track runner working there, street runners, trail runners etc. It’s awesome.

    Finished my Space Race yay!

    @kgirlhart woohoo on the job!! I’ve worked for the same company for 35 years the thought of having to leave here would kill me probably. I also can’t remember the last time I had to interview for a job.

    @marisap2010 sorry about your day I hope it is better today.

    Thanks @quilteryoyo I can’t wait to see the brat, I mean kid, we are running a virtual HM while she’s home so I’ll enjoy her never ending chatting during that.

    @Mari33a So sorry to hear about your dad. That's a lot all at once. I hope he recovers well.

    @polskagirl01 I'll have to watch that documentary. I watched one about the Barkley Marathons called "The race that eats it's young". It was super entertaining, but I agree with you that I would never even consider doing it. Just doesn't look fun to me, but watching other crazy people suffer through it is fun.
