    @katharmonic That sounds like a great trip you had - running, hiking, and a spartan race. Sorry about the rash and injury though. I hope it all heals quickly and this up coming week is a lot better than you expect.

    Great running @tarun_yadavA . You have a very consistent pace.

    Thanks @martaindale Great job on your running and glad you are enjoying your treadmill so much. Happy Birthday to your DH! A skillet cookie sounds delicious. As you know, my birthday was on the 4th and mom's is tomorrow. My neighbor, William, made lunch for us today and dessert was a homemade Oreo Cheesecake..two of my favorite things in one. It was sooo good. Now I have 3 big pieces left. I may freeze them and only allow myself to eat it after a "long" run.

    hahaha @rps67 . I agree with the sports bra being exercise sometimes. Other times it goes on great, but those days that they get half on and you think you're going to have to get the scissors out..... Glad you have found that you and your daughter are great running partners. That sounds like a great way to spend some quality time together.

    Nice running @kgirlhart ! Especially in those conditions.

    You are very consistent @Scott6255 .

    Since I haven't run in the last couple of days and I had a little bit of extra time before lunch, I went out and did a recovery run on the driveway. I ran 2.00 miles and walked a total of 0.75 miles for warm up and cool down. I meant to stop the cool down walk at 0.35 miles, but my brain had checked out and 0.40 miles it was. LOL That makes my total for the month 29.05 mile/62 mile goal.

    Thank you! 😊

    This one is free and you get bling!

    Aww man... they only ship to US addresses. I mean, I suspected that would be the case - they are trying to raise money for their cause, after all. Oh, and I'm not supposed to be signing up for new races. Oops.

    If you google, there are versions in other countries. I've done the Spanish one a few times, but we don't get bling. There's an in-person race too, but that's the opposite end of the country to me.

    I'd better not google it then, haha 😆

    Thursday is my anniversary, so I am taking Thursday and Friday as vacation days and I moved Thursday's run to today. I ran 5.5 miles. I was really slow starting out. I guess I was tired from yesterday's run. But the run turned out to be pretty good. I saw 2 different skunks today. One was near my house and the other about a mile away. And I saw 3 deer near the park. I haven't seen any deer lately. They were so pretty.

    Well done! And wow on the wildlife on your runs

    Overall uneventful runs the last couple of days. I was out this morning before the sun and there were so many people out! It was about 5:30am. I usually see only 1-2 people at that hour but today - 4 runners, a few walkers, and a couple of people taking their dogs out. Where did all these early risers suddenly come from? So weird.

    @marisap2010 Awesome work getting your 20 miles in!

    @polskagirl01 That's really interesting seeing the effect your illness has had on your fitness/recovery. There are definite peaks and valleys.

    @kgirlhart Happy anniversary!

    @martaindale Great running. Did school start back there? Maybe that is where all the folks came from. They had to be up early anyway, so why not walk the dog?

    Very consistent @tarun_yadavA !

    Happy Anniversary @kgirlhart ! Enjoy your trip away.

    @polskagirl01 That might have been a plan fail, but it wasn't a fail for sure. You did what you could and probably more than most in your position. You are doing great! Beautiful trail.

    @marisap2010 Great job on getting your 20 miles in. That looks like an intense schedule leading up to the race.

    Yesterday I ran 3.00 miles and walked 0.70 for warm up and cool down. Today, I did a 2 mile wun after work. That brings my total for the month to 34.75/62 miles goal.

    Thank you!!! 😊
