    @SummerSkier it almost seems backwards that for the same person, similar efforts, it would be lower with age, since that would suggest that age makes you more efficient at oxygen consumption if the 20 year younger version pumped that volume to achieve the same effort. I'm sure there's probably a good explanation, just at face value seems backwards to me. I like how you changed that setting to test it. Fascinating.

    Haha. The higher the # the better. It just says that regardless of how fit age plays a huge factor in the fitness equations.

    21 Nov total 133.34 out of 150 goal. 151 left for run the year so need to avg 3.8 the rest of the year to complete on time. Has anyone started thinking about their goals for 2022 yet? I do not think I am going to repeat run the year. Too many miles.

    My goals for 2022 are to improve my half and full marathon times. I have a half in January, but I plan to run the Wineglass full next October.

    It was a nice 32F this morning when I headed out. It was nice to be able to wait for daylight to run. I got my booster vaccine later in the morning, grocery shopped and visited with my parents. Planning to work from home tomorrow just in case I feel bad.

    @rheddmobile – Great score on the shoes!! I think the colors are nice.
    @shanaber – love the descriptions of Hobbes and Beaux. We need pictures!
    Thanks @tramboman!
    @SummerSkier – We are mileage twins today!
    I only saw 1 deer @quilteryoyo. I see more in my yard on any given day! Glad your back feels better today.
    Wow @polskagirl01 – life has really been hitting you with a whammy lately. Did you pass the kidney stone?

    @polskagirl01 gosh, that is more than you needed for sure. Hope you are doing ok now and the stone has passed.

    @quilteryoyo sorry about your back having a bit of a flare up again. Glad it seems better. No more leaf raking! That is hard work, and hard on the back. I just did that for over 2 hours today and my back is a little complainy about that too.

    I got back from DC last night. I only got the one run in while I was there. It turned a lot cooler and I was busy with conference stuff, plus I prioritized going out to breakfast with a friend. I ate way too much on this trip, it was great. This morning I met up with a big group of running friends who have been trying to get everyone together on Sundays and get some people who have not been running very often back. It's more social than anything but it was a fun time and we got 4 miles done.

    @quilteryoyo I’m sorry about your back issues. I hope you feel better soon.

    @polskagirl01 Oh no! I hope you were able to pass the kidney stone and are feeling better!

    @katharmonic I hope your back is okay. Nice running.

    Thanks everyone for the good wishes for my back. I hope it's about over it too.

    @summerskier - I have been thinking about my goals... I went back and forth on run the year. I can't run that many miles any longer. My goal this year was to run 2021 km which was doable but instead I will have one of my lowest mileage years and won't be close to making it.
    So I went a head and signed up for it again and hopefully can do 2022 km and maybe 2022 miles on a team again. I hope to contribute more this next year as I only got in about 60% of what @eleanorhawkins contributed.
    Now that I am mostly healthy and uninjured my aim is to run consistently and stay healthy and uninjured.

    @SummerSkier I think that's hilarious blaming your unknown injuries on the cat. I think I will start doing that. I don't trust our cats. One's too haughty, and one's so nice I bet she's hiding something.

    @kgirlhart So sad about the pet dog.

    @Scott6255 glad your shins are feeling better!
