11/1 5.01 Cum 5.01 out of 120 goal
@AlphaHowls our morning was just like that. A lot of hanging humidity in the air but cooler than normal. Great photo!

Today's run was not very exciting except there seemed to be a lot more "traffic" in the hood than normal altho it was my normal pre work run. Great weather and I wasn't pushing for anything other than just a few miles with no pace or HR goals in mind. GOing to try to keep posting up here more frequently but sometimes it's nice just to read everyone's adventures too.

Checking in with a fast (for me) 4km run

02.11 Tue 12°C 4.0km 33min

total: 4.00/80.5km (1.3km ahead)

Annoyance: My Garmin watch didn't record this run. I sync'ed the data over to Garmin but it's still not part of the VO2max etc data. Hmpf.

Thanks @martaindale . Great run. As for trick or treaters, we got a lot when I was little, but once they started doing trunk or treat and things in town, no one comes around the rural neighborhoods anymore, not even the neighborhood kids.

Beautiful picture of this morning's run @AlphaHowls ! Hope your back is feeling better.

That's a lot of trick or treaters @Teresa502 ! Bet your mom enjoys spending that time with you. Great workout today...run, walk, and gym! Amazing since you also worked!

Nice run @SummerSkier . Sometimes it's great to not have any sort of goal in mind and just get out there and run!

Nice run @yirara . Sometimes it takes a bit for my Garmin to sync with Garmin Connect. I assume it's my slow internet, but who knows.

2.0/70.0 miles

Run - 0.00 Walk - 2.00 miles - driveway laps

Decided to walk a couple of miles instead of run since I had the long run yesterday. I'm not sore at all, knock on wood. Just being cautious. I also cleaned house and hauled some wood at mom's this afternoon.

My Garmin is being weird. It is saying that I have no "training status," that I need to run outdoors twice with my HR to get a status. Why running outdoors. I would think a treadmill run and all the running I have been doing outside would count. It seems to have in the past. Fortunately, I really don't care. Just thought it was odd.

November Goal: 100 Miles

11/1 - 5.26 miles


5.26/100 miles completed for November

I'm in for 100 miles in November. I started the month off with 5 miles today. It was an uneventful run. The weather was really nice though so it was a good run.

Hi all. Good morning from Cape Town, 🇿🇦

Got in a v.scenic 10Miler to kick start November.

Target for Nov is 135.

7 miles this morning. Not a bad run, but not great either. Tried to go slow and easy, but just managed the slow part. It felt effortless for about a minute after about 4 miles, then it was gone.

As part of the Holiday Challenge, I needed to run the Great Pumpkin 5K this week so I headed out around 7:00 am and got that done. My time was slower than I would have liked it to have been, but grateful I was able to get outside and run it.

What a beautiful place to run @tarun_yadavA!

total: 10.36/80.5km (5.0km ahead)

Hey, fastest run in ages. Which, I know is not fast for most but doesn't matter. Did a fartlek session with 6x3min fast and slow. Slow running is still super difficult for me but faster running is getting easier. Odd.

11/2: 5.26 miles


10.52/100 miles completed for November

Not much to report. I ran the same 5 miles this morning as yesterday. It was pleasant weather so that was nice.

SummerSkier

to me - shin splint always equals NEW SHOES required. If @Fit2btied2016 try using shoes with a lower heel for a while to help also.
11/1 5.01 Cum 5.01 out of 120 goal
11/2 4.15 Cum 9.16 out of 120 total

I need to avg 3.7 miles per day to hit my 1500 goal for the year but today I am pretty tired so probably a rest day. I mean even my fitbit is telling me I should take it easy. I think the tennis in the evening is a lot harder work than it used to be...

Scott6255

Yep, I hear you @SummerSkier...EVERYTHING is a lot harder than it used to be! But you are doing great!

6.3 miles this morning. It was all I could do just to get to a slow jog (slog). I'm not feeling confident in getting through my 20 miler on Saturday.

Today's giggle:
Neighbor up the way, sits on his porch in the early morning hours and smokes. I often hear him coughing and just say, "good morning" as I pass. He will say same to me. This morning, I hear the cough and call out "Good Morning!" and he says "morning." Pause, then I hear,
"You are an absolute machine" I bust out laughing and tool on down the road grinning.

Running in heavy fog with scent of Tennessee Smoky barn!

Sunrise in about 20 minutes

I ran 5.19 miles before work this morning at a sleazy pace. The weather was a nice 48F. Although I was running with a couple of friends I was a little ahead of them and I heard footsteps quickly approaching behind me. I stepped to the side and turned around just as he was upon me. It was another runner but it would have been nice if he had called out that he was passing or something instead of scaring me half to death. He's lucky I didn't pull my pepper blaster out.

You can do it @Scott6255!

Teresa502

Beautiful photos @AlphaHowls and your neighbor is spot on!

@Scott6255 rest tomorrow and stuff your face with carbs, you've got this!
@AlphaHowls he's right, you are!
@Teresa502 you should have screamed or something, teach the guy some manners.

After 10 days off (specific recovery plan called for no running for 10 days after racing) I finally went out for a little trot this morning. Had been cycling, doing yoga, bit of walking, then resumed strength training the other day which made my leg hurt (*rolls eyes*) but was getting to the point of climbing the walls.
It felt ok, nothing hurt, I probably overdid it a bit as it was meant to be a gentle recovery run but I met a lady who might join me on runs sometimes so we did a little tour of the local trail runners' 'playground', a short loop over a couple of hills. Was slow as we walked the uphill parts and made a detour to avoid the really steep sandy hill I call Nemesis as her shoes were not grippy enough for that and I didn't want her biting the dust on her first day out with me 😂
Will head out for an hour on Saturday, looking forward to it already!

Yes, that is my plan. Have been eating more carbs this whole week in anticipation.
Thanks @eleanorhawkins and @Teresa502
