    @polskagirl01 Enjoy your runs on the forest. Sorry your other runs got CoVIDed.

    @TheMrWobbly Yeah for the new job!!! Congratulations!

    @eleanorhawkins Your legs may hate you today, but they will love you next week when you are stronger for having run the hills.

    A day away and you get 4 pages behind!!!

    I have set up the second team for the asics run @eleanorhawkins called 'MFP Monthly Challenge Group' with the password 0102

    Thank you for all your positive thoughts on the job front - you did a great job and I start on Monday!

    @noblsheep how is the hip flexor working out?
    Congrats on the new job!

    Thanks for asking. The KT tape arrived today so a run is in the books for tomorrow. It's still a little bit wonky going up stairs but otherwise seems better.

    The "MFP Monthly Challenge Gang" (Group?) looks like it's full, so I set up a third group "MFP Monthly Challenge #3" password 0103 (use this link if you're too lazy to search.

    ETA: @TheMrWobbly I looked through the team roster and yours isn't showing up. Maybe you could fiddle with it a bit?

    34.2/70 miles

    10/2: 3.1 miles
    10/3: 6.2 miles
    10/5: 5.2 miles
    10/7: 3 miles
    10/8: 4.7 miles
    10/13: 3.5 miles
    10/14: 3.5 miles
    10/16: 5 miles

    Ran yesterday after work. I figured out a route to try from my new office. It's an area I haven't run before, but if it's ok, it could be a really convenient way to run in the afternoons now that it is cooking off. My route didn't exactly go as planned. Strava had a segment of some trail that connected a park to a neighborhood and would have completed a loop that made exactly 4 miles. When I got to the trail segment, I couldn't find the trail after about 20 feet into woods. Maybe if you walked it first you could figure it out, but I definitely couldn't run and figure out where I was going. So, I turned around and ended up with 5 miles instead.
    It was kind of hard because I wasn't really prepared for 5 miles. Probably should have had a little snack. But, got it done and I think I can use some of that route for future runs in the future. I'm going to do a bit more exploration around the side streets.

    Looks like I stuffed something up - team 2 doesn't exist!

    Well that's about right - tried to join team 3 and can't as I set up team 2 that doesn't exist!

    @katharmonic I'm glad you didn't sleep in too! Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten to see those gorgeous pictures!! Yeah for a longer, great run with friends.

    Glad you got to go to a real in-person race @RunsOnEspresso. Great run! I feel you with the asthma. I can't run unless I take my meds before every run.

    Congrats on the new job @TheMrWobbly! AND in figuring out the race registration 😁

    Yay for new shoes @martaindale! Love Brooks!

    @katharmonic nice run and great pics!

    @quilteryoyo Thanks for sharing that.

    @mbaker566 You may have just missed the noxgear sale. But they do them a lot. So they will probably do another one soon.

    @katharmonic Lovely pictures. Definitely worth getting up for.

    @martaindale Love the shoes!

    @RunsOnEspresso Congrats on a great race!
