    You are doing great @project9percent ! And thank you.

    Nice running @tarun_yadavA and love your insight into life in the UK. You did forget that you do Celsius.

    @emptydog Glad your wife is supportive. I laughed when I read that your cat hid under the bed. :lol:

    Glad you got in a run before the rain @SummerSkier and it's great to hear that your heel is feeling better. Odd thing is, so is my shoulder. It was hurting all night. When I got up this morning, the pain was mostly gone.

    Last Saturday, I ran the Pioneer 5-Miler race ... Last year, I ran it in 53:44 with an average pace of 10:45. This year, I ran it in 51:50 with an average pace of 10:22

    That's a significant bump up! Great race.

    Hi! I quickly glanced at most of the updates since last time I checked the thread. Everyone is doing a great job in spite of setbacks or life getting in the way. Here are some comments for the pals right above me.

    @mari33a - Let's hope for better weather in the next few days. Do you have a jumping rope? I've tried to do that to cross train from running and I found it to be harder than running.


    Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a skipping rope but haven't used it in a few years. I used to skip daily when my kids were small and was quite fast. If I do run skipping on the spot it wouldn't be that different to running on a treadmill. I was checking my data on Garmin and my average since October gives 1000 steps = .55 miles or 1 mile = 1791 steps. You may have solved my weather problem without getting a treadmill

    @kgirkhart - That's a downer on your Covid result. Hope you don't feel too bad.

    @quilteryoyo great job on the miles!

    @kgirlhart sorry to hear about the positive covid test - fingers crossed that you stay symptom free.

    @AlphaHowls sorry to hear about your positive Covid test and the sore throat/ears/head and fever. Here’s hoping it’ll be a shortened version of the illness.

    @kgirlhart and @AlphaHowls great job on the December miles!

    @Teresa502 congrats on the 5-miler time improvement!

    @AlphaHowls Oh noooo! But please do stay in for now. Not sure how remote you live but if there's any risk of infecting others then stay inside. Also, covid can hit your heart pretty hard. Give your body time to heal first before you do anything half strenuous, even if it's 'just' walking.
