@Teresa502 and @skippygirlsmom Where is the girl from in TN? I haven't been listening to the news lately, so missed it if it was on there. That's awesome. So glad it was sanctioned, so holds up.
She goes to Science Hill High School in Johnson City. The article in Sunday's paper states she ran it in 15:58:42 - still impressive either way!1 -
@ContraryMaryMary Congrats on your PR!! Blazing fast!
I am not great at running downhill. I don't run many hills period just because it's flat here. On the rare occasion when I do, I always feel like I'm on the verge of losing control. I'm sure there's some technique there that I just don't know.
@Camaramandy648 Great job on your 10k PR! Like @Scott6255 said, gunshots in earshot around a trail in my area could be from any number of gun ranges.1 -
@skippygirlsmom and @Teresa502 I was wondering if that was where she went to school. They seem to have some really good athletes there. She is amazing and sounds really humble and sweet. I'm so happy for her.1

Hahahaha @quilteryoyo nope, I didn't get lost too bad, just the car did.
@Teresa502 @Scott6255 @skippygirlsmom @katharmonic @martaindale and everybody else - thank you for your support and kind words! It actually means more than you know - I couldn't tell anybody about it except the kids' dad and had to take so many precautions, etc. It's the things we do when nobody is looking that really count though.
Turns out today is not a rest day - I should have been up and running at 4. HA! Yeah right! I was driving allll day yesterday!
I'll get the run in this evening. Meh.4 -

First day starting: Hoping to run 20 miles from this day to the 30th.6

Hey all. Non running day, so went on a 20k bike ride. My first in forever, and probably my first non commuter bike ride! I had an absolute blast.
Both legs are feeling better. Pain in my left shin has eased up after a couple of deep massages. And right calf continues to be pain free. Ill start HM training on Monday! Probably going to follow Hal, cause why not. Haha. I'll be aiming for a 2:30 HM. My PB is 2:03 on a mostly downhill course, this one is pretty much completely flat.
I can't wait!7 -

@Teresa502 that was a typo on my part, I knew it was 15:58, I actually had to go back and look at what I typed. LOL So many boys running under 15 that 14 was on my mind. Very impressive2 -
@AlphaHowls You are amazing. How long do you plan on keeping up the HM streak?
Congratulations @mybumwobbles ! That's a great accomplishment!
@jensey602xx Welcome.
@Avidkeo That looks like a great place for a bike ride. Lots of cows to cheer you on! Glad you are pain free and looking forward to hearing about your adventures with Hal.

No run today. We took the dog on an adventure. We drove 2ish hours, went on a very bumpy road, then hiked about a mile to a little waterfall. We took our time on the hike back and stopped at all the spots along the creek to look and take photos. Doggo loves going in the water. She was happy and slept on the highway portion home.
I took a few cell phone photos but was mostly practicing with my platypod and getting the smooth water look.6 -
That's great that you got a 10K PR @Camaramandy648! Those were really tough conditions to do that in. If you were in Irving and heard a gun range nearby, that narrows it down to about a dozen
Ha, I was trying to think if we run trails anywhere there isn’t a gun range nearby. I don’t think there’s one near Stanky Creek. But there is at Shelby Farms and WC Johnson and the Greenline and the Greenway.3 -
@Camaramandy648 Great race! It’s awesome that you were able to go someplace new and exciting.2

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
Thats all I'm asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time
I'm only human
I'm just a woman
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am
Oh, show me the stairway
That I have to climb
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time
Oh, do you remember
When You walked among men
Well, Jesus, You know
If You're looking below
That it's worse now than then
Oh, there's pushing and shoving
And it's crowding my mind
So, Lord, for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Oh, yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time
Lord, help me today
Show me the way

Beautiful photos @RunsOnEspresso !
10k on the Greenline today. Usually Monday is our trails day, Tuesday is lifting, and Wednesday is our long run Greenline day, but we are taking Wednesday as a rest day and and planning to race hard Thanksgiving morning. That would put our next run on the holiday weekend when probably a ton of people will be on the Greenline, so we are planning to go out to the far side of the Wolf River where no one goes and do trails then.
Planned an easy run but the weather was nippy and just didn’t want to run easy, more like a tempo run. Ended up with a 1:03:58 Strava 10k pr, which is like 6 minutes slower than my real pr but faster than I have been in a while! Strava freaked out and drew a straight line across a mile of my cool down walk, fortunately the glitch happened after we stopped running.
Saw the same hawk I took a picture of once before, on the exact same pole. It swooped down, caught a mouse and ate it as we went by.
A dude in some sort of work vehicle honked his massive air horn at me and made me leap clean out of my skin!4 -
@RunsOnEspresso beautiful! Sounds like a lovely day.
@mybumwobbles welcome and great job!
@62Rich you've got this holiday streak! And yeah, I think you're safe to say you'll crush your highest mileage year. Great job - keep it up!
@quilteryoyo glad you gave yourself some rest and hope the twinge is all gone. Good job getting your run in today. Just keeping something consistent, even if it's not a lot at a time, will keep you from losing too much ground. You are very active all around so that's definitely in your favor.
@AlphaHowls I mean, everything about your run streak is impressive but 120 days of a HM or more? You are a fabulous beast! Happiest 50th birthday - boy do you make 50 look good!
@Avidkeo that ride looks lovely. Yay for starting HM training next week!

OK, this was a tough workout day. I got a text message in the afternoon from my trainer because there was a possibility the gym was going to close. They are shutting things down by zones where Covid rates are increasing. So he planned to move our mace class to tonight in case it shuts down tomorrow. But I also normally have a strength training session on Monday nights so he figured we could do both, which means two hours straight of working out. Plus I hadn't run yet. And he had warned us that something in the mace class this week was "ridiculously hard".
Fortunately I was working at home so I went out in the late afternoon with Stella to get a run in. We did about 2.3 miles, at a fairly good overall pace for her but with the usual frequent stops/starts. Then I had to quickly go and sign and pay for a dishwasher and having it installed - which buying a major appliance right now is not very easy - and then get to the gym for this extravaganza. I got there in time to do just a mile warm-up on the treadmill, which I pushed the pace a little more than I normally do to get that squeezed in. Strength training was mostly upper body - lots of pullups included. Then the mace class. It was indeed challenging and although he promised that was mostly lower body, there was plenty of arms and shoulders involved in swinging the mace. The ridiculously hard part was the last set of 3 exercises we did in 3 rounds of 50 seconds on, 10 off were kneeling chest presses with the mace, these sumo kettlebell high pulls, and then mountain climbers. I've never felt so sure that mountain climbers were going to kill me.
So I'm pretty sure everything will hurt tomorrow. Latest word we got at class though is that the gym is NOT going to close right now because the zip code is not one of the ones in the "orange zone". It certainly could still happen at any moment but as of now they plan to stay open.6
