    Nice run @Zaxa2021 . The only run you regret is the one you don't do!

    @kgirlhart Nice run. I hope your shoes do better tomorrow.

    Glad you made it back home safely and had a great trip @tarun_yadavA ! Great early morning jet lagged run.

    Great running @mnsmov15 !

    @Laurz9191 Great job getting out there and doing what you did in those conditions. Wind and forests aren't really safe combinations, especially in the rain.

    Nice running @kgirlhart . Sorry the shoes are hurting your toe. Can you send them back and get another pair to see if those just happened to be defective? I am not ready for Christmas decorations yet. I liked it so much better when Christmas season started AFTER Thanksgiving, not August!!!

    @AlphaHowls it is amazing to be pain free. I definitely hear you. I have had 2 different "back" things over the past year and each took months to go away. THey were both different and probably from tennis but oh boy it's nice when you can bend down without waiting for the pain! ✅🌟💖 I don't understand how bands around your arms and legs work but maybe they force more blood flow to the other main areas where the inflam is. Keep the reviews coming

    @martaindale you are just too cute! I love that you decided to do it together and intentional exercise is just that! Consider it lower hr training effort. HOW DO you keep those sleeves up. I tried running with some and it bugged the heck out or me trying to keep them high. And if they were tight enough they felt like they were ⬆️⬆️⬆️ bands like @AlphaHowls uses.

    @laurz9191 I can totally appreciate finally getting a run without rain or drizzle or cold. We are headed into a perfect time so I may end up ramping miles up again just because..🤷‍♀️😊

    @quilteryoyo you certainly do like to get out and work with the younguns a lot. Are their BPs comparable to adult? Do you ever find ones who need help? I know years ago when our workplace did annual health checks for insurance bennies, they found quite a few workers who REALLY needed to get their BP evaluated by a Dr

    I wasn't planning to run early today or run long but it was pretty nice. Mid 40's sun coming up. So I ended up with 7. The NB shoes lavender are pretty comfy but probably not as fast as the nikes. They do have kind of a high side which I notice altho it doesn't rub a blister or anything. I think some of their styles have that high outside which bugs people. @kgirlhart I hope you can get those new shoes replaced. Quality control sucks sometimes. I can remember disappointment with Hoka and Mizuna shoes after haveing a great first experience and then the next set just wasn't as good.

    Goal of 200 100 crossed 1300 for the year today of intentional running miles (and some wogs and wuns I will admit). My intentional walking is at 456 so I expect with 58 days left in the year that I will make 500 there. I just need 1523 total to make my run the year official with intentional miles and that seems doable at 3.33 avg per day for the rest of the year.

    I have child sleeves, I cannot keep adult pair up/on.

    Nice @Zaxa2021 !

    I'm glad that the B3 bands seem to be helping with your pain @AlphaHowls ! Great running too! AND beautiful sunset! Now I want to know what type of yard work you were doing that Fitbit thought was swimming. :wink:

    Great way to use your time @Laurz9191 !

    @martaindale Love your outfit and that you and DH are doing the Disney thing together. You did great with the wun today and, yes, intentional exercise counts! Good luck with the 10K tomorrow.

    @SummerSkier Great run today and fantastic mileage for the year! The BP for the kids depends on their age and height. We have a chart we check. The older ones should be close to adult levels. The younger ones should be lower. There are usually 2 or 3 in a group that wind up with stage 2 after we take it 3 times. If that is the case, the nurse will check it again either that day or the next and, if it is still high, will contact their parent/guardian to make them aware. If they are in the pre-hypertension or stage 1, the nurse will check it again, but not that day. They send a letter to the parents with all of the info we get and some ideas on how to be healthier. Often, we have one or two that are being watched by their doctor because they do have high blood pressure. The other thing that we find every once in a while is a student who has cut themselves. :disappointed: We don't mention it or react when we see it, to the child, but make sure that the school nurse is aware so she can address it with the school counselor. I'm not sure what they do with the information about failed hearing or vision. I'm sure they make the parent/guardian aware, but not sure what the timeline is for that. Interestingly enough, some parents opt out of having their children participate in the screening.

    @AlphaHowls I can see that. Lots of arm movements without a lot of foot movement.

    Nice run @kgirlhart .

    Nice shoe porn @tarun_yadavA . Sorry they are wet already. Glad you feel better than yesterday. I can see why a couple would not want to run together, but at least she runs and understands why you want to. That can be an issue.

    Bought these before my trip. Wore them today. And they're already wet! 😭

    I am currently on the Asics train. These first ones GT-2000 have too much motion control, I am thinking of getting their Nimbus next time. What are these?
