I sent you a friend request @chris_in_cal cal so we can stalk each others food diaries.

I’ll send you a friend request as well @TheMrWobbly and can co-stalk food diaries as well. 🤣 I feel I’m doing better with my food now that I decided to make my diary public to my friends. I still have a bit too much chocolate/sweet stuff, but am getting better at cutting down and the weight is coming down as well. I’m still running, but am focusing more on my weight loss and other exercises right now. I have a 5K mid-June.

@daria0919 sweet tooth. +1.
Chocolate, ice cream... My Achilles heel

Got in 5.52 miles this morning. It was cloudy and foggy but no rain so all good!

I'm glad you didn't get hurt when you fell @kgirlhart ! That's scary.

Glad you are enjoying your neighborhood loop @chris_in_cal !

Great running @tarun_yadavA ! Great mileage for the month already!

Nice running @Laurz9191 !

Great running @martaindale ! Two long runs in a row after not running much is a lot.

@TheMrWobbly The gym looks good. I'm sure it was a workout just getting it ready to workout. Glad your BH is joining you. That will make things easier, I think.

Great running @mari333a .

Nice run @kgirlhart . I'm sorry about your neck. I hope it quits bothering you soon. Good luck with Saturday's race!

You did great @Teresa502 !

25.25/50.00 mile goal

Yesterday, I didn't post. I went to the gym in the morning and then did a treadmill session. The run was a run/walk for 4/2 min at 5.0/4.0 mph. Not too bad.

Today, after dropping Tippy off for a long stay (14 days) at the boarding facility, and mom and I getting haircuts, I did a mile wun on the driveway. I didn't have time for much, because I still had to pack for the weekend of tennis.

Wish my team luck for the weekend....2 matches tomorrow, 2 on Saturday, and one on Sunday morning.

It wasn't stormy when I got up, so I ran 2 miles this morning. It did storm about 30 minutes after I got home, but it was pretty nice when I was out. I am planning to rest tomorrow and then Saturday will be my race.

Thanks @quilteryoyo ! And good luck on your tennis this weekend!

tarun_yadavA

Morning all.
Got in 6.3M (at 09"56).

Yesterday turned into an unexpected heavy one. Went to see 'Book of Mormon' at the theatre yesterday. Ended up having a couple before; one at the interval and one after... Before soaking up a German Doner Kebab... Followed by a ginormous pistachio gelato.

Teresa502

Good luck this weekend @quilteryoyo and @kgirlhart!

@tarun_yadavA - Beautiful photo of the city. The gelato must be as good as it looks seeing the line for it. With all the running that you are doing, a treat is deserved!

daria0919

Good luck this weekend @kgirlhart!

I hope tennis goes really well for you @quilteryoyo.

Great job on your run @chris_in_cal!

Thanks for calling me out on the brownies @TheMrWobbly! I need that kind of kick in the butt to keep me on track 😂😂. Weight loss has stalled since those brownies popped into my cupboard.

Thanks everyone. You all are doing great. We lost both tennis matches today, but had fun, for the most part. I couldn't get my backhand working during the second match. Tomorrow is another day.

Had a good run this morning & then got out my sewing machine which I’m not very good with & took in 4 of my dresses which were too loose under the arms so nice relaxing day

TheMrWobbly

A run happened today. 20 miles and 2.5 walk at the end, 2,500ft of climbing. Not a great experience. Inclines were too steep to run, some downhills were to steep and muddy to run. I did see others running up the hills and they were all about half my weight so maybe that is what I should work on.

Two day of travelling coming up so good to get that in.

martaindale

Just checking in. I've been speaking and working the last few ways at a training conference we organized for a group from several Caribbean countries. It has been exhausting but super rewarding. Long days have meant no running but my watch keeps telling me I need rest days. I guess not a lot of "exercise" but I'm on my feet all day and probably a bit stressed, though I'd say stressed in a good way.
One week until the HM. I'll prob try to get one more longish run this week. Not worrying about a taper because I'm not racing. Just need to not be super tired the day of.

martaindale

@TheMrWobbly Impressive run, even if it wasn't fun at the time.

Maybe we'll find out how @kgirlhart did at possum kingdom tomorrow.

quilteryoyo

Nice NSV @mari333a .

WOW. Great run @TheMrWobbly ! Beautiful pictures. Enjoy your trip and safe travels.

@martaindale I won't still her thunder, but @kgirlhart did great, according to her post in my news feed.
