    Hey @tarun_yadavA great to see you again! Glad you were able to go for a run after 4 weeks and it didn't really hurt! I know it's hard, but don't push it.

    @kgirlhart Great running and love the pictures. So pretty.

    @polskagirl01 I hope you are feeling better soon. I love that you were able to "pretend" you were running. Are you back in the US yet? You're pictures are amazing and that newest contraption looks interesting. I hope it helps.

    @chris_in_cal I tore my gastroc muscle playing tennis a few years back, then tore it again when I stepped in a hole in my yard before it completely healed. Every once in a while I will have a pain in that area when I am running and fear I have done something to it again. So, I guess I am in the post-traumatic injury club with you.

    @Mari33a I'm glad you made yourself get out for a run and it went better than you expected. Often the hardest part of the run is getting out the door.

    Glad to see that you got in a short run and it felt ok-ish @tarun_yadavA .

    @yirara Yes to the crazy weather here in south-central Poland! Remind me where you're located? It's been cold and rainy all week. Hoping for a nicer weekend.

    Kind of central-ish Germany. I swear, I nearly put the heating on this morning!

    Oh I was considering telling my husband to just go start the furnace. This is supposed to be May!

    I paused my Garmin somewhere along my route this morning so my mileage is a guesstimate but I think it is fairly close. Maybe a tad on the conservative side. It was 10 degrees cooler this morning at 51F. I wore capris and a short sleeve shirt but wore sleeves for the first couple of miles before I stashed them in my mailbox.

    Glad you got your new car @katharmonic!

    Welcome back to the runner’s circle @tarun_yadavA!

    Beautiful fields and beautiful @polskagirl01! Good to see you! Looks like you are doing a great job with the quilt. When I was young, my sister and I used to help my mom cut out squares for quilting. She would sew them together on her trusted Singer and then she would either quilt them by hand or have someone with a commercial machine do it. Good memories.

    Love the sunrise and moon pictures @kgirlhart. Have you seen Sunny lately? Do I recall that they were going to tear down his house?

    Tonight, and occasionally I'll feel a twinge in the area and it petrifies me. Anyone else dealing with Post Traumatic Running Injury Disorder :o

    Absolutely. I now notice every little twinge in my calves. Is that my Achilles? No, it feels like it's off to the side a bit. IDK, maybe it is the Achilles. On and on for several minutes until it usually just works itself out.

    Happy to see you got a little run in without too much pain @tarun_yadavA. Hopefully you'll be back to normal soon. It's good you have kept up the gym in the meantime.

    It's a sharp moment when it's either nothing and it will go away in five minutes....or not.

    I had a break for nearly two years after knee issues. Every run is like "oh no, another twinge". I haven't got an answer other than the more I run the less it seems to be at the front of my mind. It is really important to listen to your body - I wish I didn't ignore it as often as I do!

    @Martaindale - Thanks for the feedback on CrossFit. The closest Lagree studio near me is almost half hour away, so I know I won't do that.

    This cracked me up. My studio is about 4 miles and 20 minutes away. A fast runner could run that distance faster than I can drive it. I drive 8 miles to work and it takes me 30 mins during the school year. 8 miles. In Houston a 30 min drive is close. But, it's all relative and 30 mins is a long drive for you. I envy those who don't have to drive 30 minutes minimum to get places.

    Muggy. That's it.

    ...the tree trimmers ... cut a sprinkler line.

    ...our AC stopped working overnight... that unit ... was stupid expensive

    ... Then got to work and our main computer system is down

    It has been a day.

    A day indeed. You my dear thread pal are having it rough.

    @Martindale Sorry about the rough day. I sure hope the AC is fixed soon.

    @polskagirl01 Hahaha about walking in your stinky coat helping you feel like you are running. You have a great attitude and you went one driveway further! I can see why the quilt isn't your favorite design, but the fact that your grandmother started it still makes it precious. If you really don't like it, maybe it would make a good wedding gift to whichever kid gets married first. :confounded: I'm sure you are looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation.

    Glad you had a nice run @kgirlhart!

    I hate it when I do that @Teresa502 . It was a bit nippy this morning. Great running.

    @Laurz9191 Love the pictures, esp of the cow. Looks like a great place for a walk/hike.

    @yirara Great job with your running. Having fun will help you be consistent.

    @Zaxa2021 Sounds like you are doing great to me.

    Hugs @martaindale . You did have a day yesterday. I hope the AC was an easy fix.

    @spl8 Glad you love your new shoes.

    That's a long run in the rain @AlphaHowls ! You just continue to find new ways to amaze me. :wink:
