    @polskagirl01 Love that race shirt! I would wear the crap out of that shirt. Nice run up the mountain too. I laughed at you making it through the whole run unscathed then tripped on the sidewalk!

    @SummerSkier I got my booster several weeks back. I timed in to get it after a long run since I wouldn’t be running the next day just in case I didn’t feel great. I felt fine but I also never had a significant reaction to the first 2 shots either.

    I did wear it a lot, then lost it for a while in the closet, then found it again. It felt like a status symbol back in that city, because you knew people wearing it were in that crazy race.
    I'm feeling your pain from falling. Today everything hurts, and I think it's honestly more from the fall than the mountain. Hopefully it will just be like this today and I can get back to normal tomorrow. But then my daughter tripped going out the door this morning and is now similarly injured. Seriously, no one else needs to join this club! Be careful, everybody!

    I think I forgot to post yesterday, so here is the recap:

    Wednesday: Easy 5.5 miles, combination of DG path around the lake, a little road and some RTP trails.
    Today: 7.5 miles, easy effort with 6x12 second strides, 1:00 jog recovery. <-- This is one of my favorite types of workouts. I LOVE to run fast and get the legs moving.

    Month: 18 miles
    Goal: 165 miles

    I wanted to run this morning, but an appointment I had this afternoon got bumped up to this morning. Not too sad about that as it is currently POURING. Of course I run in the rain in Seattle, but prefer it to be our usual light misting rain - not this bone-soaking type!

    WOW - it was chilly today. And I felt SO sluggish. Oh well. All days cannot be gizelle days. Getting my booster this afternoon so hope to still feel well enough to run tomorrow am anyway. I mean I see folks running over 13 miles so surely I could do 5....

    Happy Happy Birthday @katharmonic! Hope you had an amazing fun day!

    No run for me again today. Had a bone density test in the morning and then appointments all day for work on our house and real estate scheduling on the house where we are staying (final clear out of all the junk, cleaning and then the open house with the realtor). Got window coverings for our house ordered for all the windows but have a 6-8 week delivery delay! In just a few days though we will be back in our house and I can't wait!

    Happy birthday @katharmonic !

    10k today, planned easy run but it was too cool to run easy. We’ve gone straight from “sweat through a singlet” weather to “wearing sleeves and shivering until you warm up after the first couple miles” weather. Last night we had our first freeze. Oh well, at least all the mosquitoes are dead now!

    So, due to being chilly we went out too fast, my usual easy pace is 10:52 like clockwork but first mile was under 10. Took a brief walk break in an attempt to reset, same thing happens when we start up. Just did not feel like running slowly! So we ended up doing a sort of unplanned Galloway method tempo run, fastest 10k since my husband got a Strava account in August - which is not saying much, 1:02 - but that’s pretty fast for walking a good portion of the time. Felt pretty good. Will try for an easy run later this week on trails, since we aren’t doing Chuckalissa this week and should be on easy terrain.

    Today was the last run before the Half on Saturday.  The plan said 4 miles in 37 minutes at a 9:17 pace. I ran 4 miles in 40 minutes at a 9:55 pace. It was a really good run and I'm feeling about as ready as I am going to get.

    Good luck tomorrow!
