    Mostly sunny, mid 50s F, and a light breeze from the west -- just about perfect. Legs were better and the pace reflected that they're improving. Could post run stretch my usual, except for the right quad. Mo sense in forcing it to do something it's not ready to do.
    Although Monday is usually a golf day, our League does not play on Labor Day or Memorial Day. Golf course charges weekend prices for holiday Mondays.

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

    PUT THE FUN BACK IN THE RUN!

    Mondays are rest days for me, so no run today. But I did take my dogs to the park and walked 1.25 miles. It was a little warm for the old girls, but we all enjoyed a leisurely stroll.

    Sorry tou only got to hike one peak @katharmonic. I am so impressed by your hiking and just love the pictures and reports.

    @martaindale We lived in Kerville for a while about 25 years ago. It was so lovely down there. I wish we had a weekend house in that area.

    @penguinmama87 Great job on your 10K and such a confidence boost to do better than you were expecting!

    @RunsOnEspresso Nice run and great idea with the vest in the freezer!

    @sweetdaisy13 Sorry to hear about your son’s arm.

    @katharmonic Another peak down! Hopefully you’ll get better weather for those last ones so you can really enjoy them.

    I hope everyone from the states is enjoying their holiday weekend!

    @RunsOnEspresso the other day I was thinking what if I froze a block of ice instead of cubes how would that work. I'd need like a rubber tray that is 4"x12" and 1" deep that would probably stay frozen much longer than cubes.

    @Tramboman you are so right, I plan to say "that Cherry Garcia had it going on".

    That made me think about the big, round ice cubes thatbare popular for on the rocks drinks. But then I wonder how running with large ice would be? Would they slosh and smack you in the back?
