I ran 2 miles yesterday and 1.3 miles today to keep my streak. Yesterday was perfect running weather. Today was nice, but a but cooler. Tomorrow will be my long run, and it is supposed to be 35° F. I am already fretting over what to wear.
I also like the honeycrisp apples. Macintosh and Fiji are good too.
I hope everyone in the states had a great Thanksgiving. We had a fun time. I got to see both of my kids. And today my sisters and I took our Mom to see The Nutcracker, so I guess the holiday season has officially begun.

Nice running @Teresa502 ! Glad you were able to fit in helping with the race on Thanksgiving. I saw pictures from friends on FB who ran it. It looked like there was a decent turnout. Sounds like you had a very busy day. Also sounds like you had a speedy group you ran with this morning. Good job keeping up with them.
Beautiful pictures @AlphaHowls .
Great job on keeping the streak going during the holidays @kgirlhart. Great family picture.
That's a great way to ease into running @abowersgirl !6 -

Short recovery run this morning. Lovely weather again. And it's nice and quiet on Sunday morning so I could hear the leaves rustling as they blew across the road. Absolutely my favorite time of year!

Was determined to get 3 miles in today.

So today I was FAST! I can't explain it. Maybe it was the cold and wind? My tech totally agreed that I was fast. Most accurate HR continues to be from the Garmin chest strap. The wrist HRs seem to pick up cadence more for some reason.
I don't know what was going on with me the past couple 5 ish days but I felt it LEAVE yesterday afternoon and things settle down to normal. 😁😁😁😁

I ran 10 miles today. It was cold. It was 34°F feels like 27°at the start and 45° feels like 39° at the end. I really dislike running when it is that cold. I never know how to dress. Honestly, today I felt both overdressed and underdressed for the entire run depending on which direction I was running. I wore long pants and a long sleeved shirt and a jacket and gloves. I took the jacket off and on several times. The gloves were opened and closed and finally went in my pocket. It made the run very frustrating. I like to be able to just throw on shorts and a tank top and go. But I did get my run in and I hit my monthly goal, so even though it was a frustrating run, it was good.

It was lovely & mild for this evening’s run. I probably should have done a bit more didn’t have enough time.8 -
Nice long run today @tarun_yadavA . Do you enjoy social running? I know the few times that I have run with someone else, we enjoyed the company and the miles seemed to be so much easier...but we were running really slow so we could talk.
Sounds like a lovely recovery run @martaindale !
Good job on the 3 miles @daria0919 .
@SummerSkier Glad you are feeling better and it shows in that SPEEDY run!
@kgirlhart Sorry that your run was frustrating, but you did great to hang in there. Congrats on making your monthly goal already.
Nice run @Mari33a !8 -

I wasn't feeling the best earlier today, so opted for a treadmill walk after church and before lunch. I had planned to run some since I didn't run a lot this past week, but a rest day was needed. I spent the afternoon and the couch and napped some. I do feel more normal tonight.
Upcoming race: Space Force T minus10 miler - 9 Dec7 -
Glad you're feeling a little better @quilteryoyo. Rest is mandatory. Your race will be here before you know it.
Didn't feel like going out in the cold, so got in 6 TM miles. Brings me to 1997 miles for RTY...the year my son was born 😀

Morning all
Got in 5 (09"49)
@quilteryoyo yes - absolutely love running with others. Doubly so, now I'm not training for anything or bothered about pace etc. So happy to chit-chat and chew someone's ears off while running.
Too old to rehydrate with Beers now... So stick to a water bottle and banana now! Lol7 -
I ran 5.10 miles with a couple of friends this morning. In order to meet my 100-mile goal I need to run 5.33 miles Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We'll see...10

Thanks and great running @Scott6255 . 1997 was the year I retired from the Air Force.
Nice run @tarun_yadavA ! You aren't "that" old yet, but water and a banana are probably a better recovery choice at any age. I think the first time I felt "old" was when I was telling my doctor about something that was going on and he said, "Well, at your age....." LOL
You can do it @Teresa502 .6 -

We've had some light snow, just enough to be pretty but not affect roads. I had to add an ice-breaking stick to my cold-water tub setup, as it had a thin layer of ice this morning. I'm really liking the convenience of having it in the backyard.
Today I think this 2-week cold is finally moving on. I felt pretty good for about 3 1/2 hours this morning and was able to go run an errand with husband. Then we went for a breakfast date at McDonald's (the food there is much better in Europe than in the US), and found out they have removed hashbrowns from the menu 😡 Not sure what in the world they are thinking.8 -

Old[er] age over here...
When picking this up/lifting things up....
>>"My back hurts"
"Well bend your knees then"
>>"I can't. They hurt too".

Hi everyone! Today I decided to attempt a half marathon. I hadn’t done one since the actual marathon I ran in September and wanted to test out a hydration belt I just bought. The first 4 km or so the belt was so annoying! Then I seemed to have gotten the strap size adjustment right and it was absolutely perfect.
The half marathon itself was hard work, but it always is. I chose the more hilly route, which meant the second half is more or less downhill . I saw a fox, a deer, and a black cat cross my trail during the run. It’s very rare to see a fox at that time of day-or at all- so I thought that was pretty cool. I have only seen a deer a few times too.
The weather was cold and grey, but otherwise mostly dry. I ran 21.3km.
So far for November 155.5/200km.
