    @Scott6255 Glad you had a good run. You might be surprised about your speed, especially in the "heat" of a in person race.

    @7lenny7 Great race and love the interaction you are having with the older lady. She sounds awesome.

    @martaindale Nice running this month and yeah for cooler temperatures.

    @kgirlhart Nice running. Hugs to you and your family. The first, and subsequent anniversaries are hard.

    I asked a friend how her run went today and she said "how did you know I ran?" I answered you always do long run on Fridays. Turns out it's not Friday :). A fact which has annoyed me all day long. This will be remedied tomorrow I guess!
    Hahaha

    When you pop in here claiming your December 2021 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?

    I ran solo from home this morning. The stars were shining brightly in the night sky. I expected to see the moon but I guess it was busy chasing Elon Musk's crew around the galaxy. About a quarter mile from my house some deer decided to cross the road about 15 feet in front of me. I had to stop and wait for them as they just kept coming. There were only five in total but they were spaced out.

    Great race @7lenny7!

    @Scott6255 – Is your race local on Sunday? I'm sure you will do great!

    @Tramboman Glad you are healing.

    @7lenny7 Uneventful is good.

    @skippygirlsmom That's such a great story about Tom and his mom. So glad you were able to do that for them.

    @skippygirlsmom - Your recount of your morning adventures made my eyes leak! That was so nice of you.

    @quilteryoyo @Teresa502 @Scott6255 I know when someone heads towards Skip's school and stops to give her a hug or buy her lunch it makes me so happy. We think our college kids are so grown up and they are making their own way but sometimes a few words or a hug from a "mom" just makes everyone's day. I was so happy to be able to put a smile in her heart (and hopefully his) today.

    I was referring to the Guinness 10K World Record run on Sunday. Yes, it will be local (around my neighborhood) ;)

    @swenson19d this is your friendly reminder to GET OFF THE COUCH! You'll feel so much better if you can just drag yourself out there for a walk. I know you know that, and I know it can still be hard to do it, but do it anyway. We're cheering you on!

    I am going to kickboxing class today. Should be fun!

    Awesome!

    Hahaha - Oh that one that I'm signed up for too! Yeah, I definitely won't be racing it. I did get my Garmin connected to the site yesterday, so I'm all ready to go.
