    Great run yesterday @Scott6255 ! Very speedy intervals! Garmin can be so snarky.

    Great running @tarun_yadavA !

    Hahaha @chris_in_cal ! I think I could join that group. Great workout. Love that you and your friends have a fitness pact.

    Nice running @Teresa502 ! Great total miles for the month so far. I love the sprinkler picture!

    hahaha @AlphaHowls ! Beautiful picture.

    @Laurz9191 You are doing great with your vacation runs! Enjoy the aquarium today.

    Glad you were able to get out for a nice walk @shanaber . I'm sure Hobbes is enjoying the activity with you. Sorry you were hurting though.

    @shanaber Just read your friend's race recap and WOW! Ultra runners a different breed but hardrock 100 is such a crazy event. The elevation and sketchy trail would turn me off immediately. It's amazing that she finished and seemed to be in pretty good shape. Congrats to her!!

    The mean dog was out of his yard again. He is only about 2 blocks from my house, so it was right at the start of the run. I had picked up some rocks when I started out, so I yelled at him and threw rocks at him and he stopped following me, but it left me rattled. The only other dog that has ever run at me like that bit me. And it was a little dog too. I actually had to stop for a minute because I felt like my heart was just pounding.

    That's too bad. I love dogs and don't love most dog owners.

    I know you aren't asking for advise, but I can't help but think of you getting a furry running companion who is just slightly larger and meaner than the little pip squeak who comes chasing after you.

    My legs felt tired this morning when I rolled out of bed and wouldn’t you know it, in my Epic workout series that I’m doing it was glutes and hamstrings day. I did the workout and then got in a very short, slow run to keep my streak alive. Things are really heating up around here with the current heat wave we have passing through. On the positive side though, the tomatoes in the garden are starting to turn red. Homegrown tomatoes are the best!

    @kgirlhart – I’m so sorry you had a scare with the dog.

    @polskagirl01 – A run is a run!

    @tarun_yadavA – Have you recovered from your travels and jet lag?

    @Laurz9191 – Kudos to you for running on vacation. It sounds like you get a lot of running in chasing after the little ones! Enjoy!
    @Scott6255 – So impressed with your stint on the treadmill.

    @Mari33a – You’ve been so consistent with your running and spinning. Are you still in weight loss mode? I need to regain my focus. I’ve let it slip in the last couple of weeks.

    @martaindale – I hear you on the tired legs! Good job getting out there.
