    Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
    @martaindale that's a good endorsement for the Mach 5s. Three pair already? How many miles did you get out of them?

    15.25/80.00 miles

    I had planned to run a couple of miles, but cut it short because I had some pain in my right shin. I am hoping I didn't overdo it with my test run on Saturday and give myself shin sprints. It started hurting when I walked to get my mail before my run. It isn't bad, but not normal. I'm icing it tonight and plan to only walk until Saturday. We will see. If it gets worse and I decide I shouldn't run, at least I'll have a few days in Florida to enjoy the warmth and see my family that lives there.

    Upcoming race: T-10 miler on Dec 9

    December Goal: 130 Miles

    12/1: 3.30 miles
    12/3: 10.10 miles
    12/5: 6.31 miles
    12/6: 6.31 miles

    26.02/130 miles completed for December

    It was 34° F this morning and I pretty much ran the same 6.3 mile run as yesterday. It was colder than yesterday, and colder than I like, but other than that it was a lovely run. I saw two pairs of glowing eyes. I thought maybe cats or small dogs. Turned out it was foxes. I really only saw one for sure. By the time I got to where they were, one had scattered but the one I saw clearly was definitely a fox. Then about half a mile down the road I saw three deer. They were on the soccer field where I often see deer in the mornings.

    @scott6255 That is so funny. Lucky for you you have a twin brother who knows how old you are.

    @polskagirl01 Oh no! Sorry about the family emergency and being stuck at the airport does not help. The cake looks pretty good though.

    @quilteryoyo Hope the shin pain is nothing serious and doesn't affect your race this weekend.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA .

    Nice running @yirara . You'll have to let us know how you like the plan.

    Oh no @polskagirl01 ! I hope you can get a flight back to the states tomorrow. Prayers for the family emergency. That cake looks pretty good.

    Congratulations @Laurz9191 ! That's exciting. When is the race?

    Thanks @eleanorhawkins ! I hope the family situation is all better. That does sound stressful. Great running today. So, how does that race work? Why do you have to stand around waiting for the next loop?

    Thanks @kgirlhart . Great running. I think seeing a couple of glowing eyes in the dark would freak me out. Maybe I'm just a big ol' scaredy cat. :lol:

    Thank you @daria0919 ! Nice walking.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA .

    Thanks a lot @quilteryoyo I've done this before and it's a really nifty feature of more expensive garmin watches. On Friday I'll have a 30 minute run (with target pace, but probably a bit too fast for me currently) and on Sunday a 40 minute run. Monday will give me stride repeats (basically mini intervals) and Wednesday is my long run. Have not seen more of it as of now.

    @kgirlhart very sorry about dog 😢 I feel for you!!! Putting both my labs down (15 years apart) was one of the saddest days of my life.

    Great weather and nice run. Snow of the previous week is gone now and the road was dry. Perfect. This was not part of my Garmin coach programme but just a run I did for the sake of it.
