Treadmill run again this morning. Actually, two treadmill runs. The first was mostly easy running with a handful of fast 1-minute intervals. Then I did. A short run-walk to add on a mile and a half or so.

I figured out how to sync my treadmill with Strava. I don't know if this is a new feature, or just something I hadn't seen before. But, it works really well and saves me some time manually entering activities.

I also saw that I can connect the treadmill to Garmin but haven't gotten that to work just yet. I want test that out because if I can get it to sync with Garmin then Garmin would sync with Strava. All my info in all the right places without additional work from me. Sounds good!

@Contrary_MaryM @quilteryoyo @shanaber thanks for the warm welcome and concerns. Got cleared by my therapist for running. Easy 20 minute run tomorrow.

What a beautiful place to run @Laurz9191 . I'm glad you enjoyed the easier run.

I'm glad your running is felling good again @ContraryMaryMary , whatever the reason.

You did great today @martaindale . Great job on figuring out the technology synchronization.

Glad your therapist cleared you for running @VO2Maxlet . I hope it doesn't give you any trouble tomorrow.

23.60/80.0 mile goal

I didn't post yesterday. Mom and I went to church in the morning, came home just long enough for a snack and change clothes, and then went to my great nephew's 5th birthday party. I did a mile on the treadmill after we got home a little before 9 pm.

Today, I went to the gym early, worked at daycare for over 5 hours, and did my planned run/walk of 1/1 x 10 on the driveway. The wun portion was slower than I felt it should have been, but at least I got it done. Avg pace was 13:49 min/mile. Avg HR was 134 with a max of 154 bpm.

I am a little bummed that my newsfeed disappeared sometime today. I know some of the folks here didn't use it, but it was always the first thing I looked at and liked posting about my workouts. I will miss the folks that I will no longer have contact with.

Neighborhood 1Mile (at 12"57 pace). Day 41

The July 4th 5K last year was at 12:10/mile pace.

This year under 12:00/mile for 5k...I can do that.

Morning all. Got in 5 at 09"51.
At Mother's. Last minute thing. Needed someone to take her to a Dr's appointment that just got made available.

@chris_in_cal here's a 👍🏽 up for your 500 day MFP streak.

I can see a lot of you are in mourning over the Newsfeed being turned off imminently

Hi everyone!

I had such a nice run this morning. It took forever to get my workout synced to my Garmin but finally I got it to work and then off I went listening to an audio book for 1hr20 minutes of easy running. This was followed by 20 minutes of fast running to music which felt so good to be able to do on tired legs. I was planning to run this part at marathon pace but actually ended up quite a bit faster than that. It just felt good to change the pace.

The weather here seems to have reverted back to winter. I needed long socks and a jacket (at least at the start). It was under 10C (50F). I am really going to suffer when it warms up around here!

80.8/200km for June.

I'm pulling for you @chris_in_cal !

Nice run @tarun_yadavA . Enjoy your time with your mom, even if it is going to a doctor's appointment.

Sounds like a great run @Laurz9191 ! We've had pretty good weather here in E TN, but it's going to get into the 90 (32.2C) s later in the week. I'm not looking forward to that.

Thanks, that was my mic drop on the old newsfeed feature.

Congrats on your 500 day streak @chris_in_cal! I still get the newsfeed, for now.

Once the feed is gone, is there somewhere else where the streak count still shows up, or will it be lost forever?

VO2Maxlet

@Laurz9191 loving it. Long easy runs are so calming and refreshing. Hoping better running weather comes along instead of being attacked by the heat.

20 minute easy run. Really need to keep my speed in check. Avg 160 SPM, need to get that to an average of 180 SPM.

quilteryoyo

@daria0919 My streak count still shows up on the home page when I log into MFP on my laptop, which no longer has the newsfeed. I think it is interesting that earlier today, I still had the newsfeed on my phone.

Great run @VO2Maxlet .

I did a driveway wun this morning. I walked 0.5 miles for warm up, then did a 1/1 min run/walk x 12, then walked 0.7 miles for cool down. It wasn't horrible. Pace was pretty slow, but better than yesterday. Avg was 13:37 min/mile. Overall, the avg HR was 128 with a max of 152 bpm.

Ok - @quilteryoyo I have only used the App, never a computer. I finally found it on the App when I touch “more” on the bottom right. Thanks!

I'm so happy right now. Another great run, albeit with legs that are a bit tired from yesterday but I minimised this by avoiding Heartbreak Hill and sticking to the flat(ish).

I wish I had this discipline for Z2 training. Your method seems a lot more digestible though.

Hectic day tomorrow. I have an interview which the admin has told me they will call me impromptu as a notice that they will send an interview link same day. No context as to if it's a general interview, a technical one, or even how long it will take. I'll either have to wake up for a 6AM run or wait until post-close. Easy 20 minute run. Still studying for any surprises this ad-hoc interview may come with.

52.99/125 miles completed for June

I'm posting two runs. I ran 3.15 miles on Monday. It was 76°F with humidity at 78% and dew point of 68°. I was tired from my long run on Sunday, so I was pretty slow. But it was a nice run. Today it was about the same temperature, but the humidity was at 100% and the dew point was 74° so it seemed worse. I was more rested today though and the run didn't seem as tough and my average pace was about 45 seconds faster. I did get up a little late so I didn't haven't as much time to run. But that was kind of nice because it was light for the whole run. I enjoy running in the early morning when it is already light out. I saw a couple of dogs yesterday. They ran towards me barking and I threw rocks at them. Well, just in their direction. I saw a possum today. He didn't bother me at all.
