103.43/130 miles completed for July

I ran 4 miles this morning. It was 72°F and very humid, but it was a pretty decent run. I ran at a speedier pace than I usually do and had negative splits. My overall pace was 10:34 and my splits were: 10:56, 10:40, 10:34 and 10:09. Most of my runs lately have been at a pretty easy pace but it was kind of fun to run faster for a change.

Hi everyone and greetings from Hyéres in the south of France. After a torturous 21 hours of driving (!), I needed to recover before setting out on a run here.

This morning I went on an 8.1 km run up into the hills behind our rental. It was a real climb for me. I felt like a mountain runner compared to the flat stuff I normally do. From up on top of the hill I could see to the Mediterranean and the run took me past some ruins of an old chateau. I was too tired and it was too late in the morning to run all the way to the top of the chateau lookout, but maybe tomorrow.

Sunset on or first day.



Pictures from the run.

Sorry @tarun_yadavA although I’ve eaten a few croissants and pain au chocolat by now, I haven’t taken any food pictures yet .

211.7/200km for July.

40.50/60.00 goal

Another fast walk with Tippy this morning before setting out for the day. Today, I met some of the family at Sebastian Inlet. We played in the water some and saw a manatee. I didn't get a good picture - just it's nose coming up for a breath.

The shadow is the manatee's tail under the water.


Came up for a breath.

Tippy and I took a walk later and we saw a couple of rabbits. Later, I made a mistake and left the door open a little and she ran out, across the road, and onto the dune to try to get to them. Fortunately, I was able to get her before she found them. Now she is whining to go out and pacing from me to the door. She's gonna have to stop that soon.

Mommy and baby rabbit.

Good Evening Everyone. Well, I started a new Half Marathon training plan. I will be run/walking the Monumental in Indianapolis in November. I have coworkers who are doing this with me as well. We are now following one another on Strava to hold each other accountable. Completed 2.65 miles this evening on the treadmill. With this, I am currently at 28.7 miles out of 50. I am determined to reach this month's goal.

Everyone, have a great night and take care of yourselves.

School's back (hooray!) so I'm back to running my usual hilly loop. Actually, I wasn't going to run the loop today - just to the top of the hill and back for 5k but there were arborists felling trees and they had half the road shut for the entire climb and I didn't want to have to go through that twice, so when I got to the top I carried on. It was fine though because by then I was feeling great. Finished comfortably under my arbitrary goal of 50 minutes and managed to run the hilliest kilometre in under 7 minutes, another arbitrary goal.

Morning all.
Got in 7.49M (at 09"38).
1100 up for the year.

@Laurz9191 hope you're enjoying your France holidays with your fam! 😊
PS: okay pass on the Croissants and Pain Au Chocolat!
Cheese pics and wine pics will do! 😊

@quilteryoyo OMG!! A manatee! That is so so cool. Jealous!

Anyways. At Mothers in Essex. Last minute thing. She's putting her Lab, 🐕 Charlie to sleep today. So came with the kids to say Goodbye.

Scott6255

@tarun_yadavA that's rough. Sad to see a fur baby go.
@Laurz9191 your France pics look amazing. Have fun!

Got out for 4 miles this morning. Legs felt fine for the 1st 3 miles, then just a slight niggle in the left. So stopped at 4 just to be safe.

This morning I did a full body dumbbell cardio workout and then ran 3 miles. Working remotely today since I have to take my mom to a medical appointment later this morning.

Beautiful scenery @Laurz9191!

Cute rabbits @quilteryoyo. I hope Tippy soon forgot about them!

@steviebee888 – That will be so much fun training and running the Monumental with a group!

Hugs for your mom and the kids @Tarun_yadavA. I’m sure Charlie will be greatly missed.

Glad you stopped when you felt the niggle @Scott6255. Rest day tomorrow maybe?

109.68/130 miles completed for July

It was cooler this morning at 68°F but the 100% humidity still made for a sweaty run. It was foggy too so it was kind of creepy starting out in the dark. But I did enjoy it being a little cooler and I ran 6.25 miles.

@Laurz9191 Wow! That is so beautiful!

@quilteryoyo How cool to see the manatees. I'm glad Tippy wasn't successful in getting the rabbits.

@tarun_yadavA I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie. I know how hard that is. I'm glad you are able to be there for your mom.

Tried a few things, and today's run was just fab! I tried running yesterday but my muscles were so tight I could not even walk properly. So happy. I think this was the first 3km run in quite a while that I managed to run without walking.

That's exciting! I think it is 100% better having some peer support and group participation, that's great. I'm looking forward to your progress.

1100 is great roundish number, congrats. Nice of you to group up as a family for this loss. May all the good memories bubble up.

ContraryMaryMary

Yay, Garmin finally gave me back the VO2 max number it docked me when I went on holiday. Now to gain the other seven I’ve dropped in the past few years…

quilteryoyo

@steviebee888 I hope you like your new training plan. Signing up for a race is so exciting.

Great run yesterday @ContraryMaryMary ! Congratulations on meeting two of your goals!

Nice run @tarun_yadavA . Great mileage for the year. So sorry about Charlie. It's hard to lose a pet. Glad everyone was able to say bye. Seeing Manatees in the wild is very cool.

Glad you were able to run 3 miles without any pain and listened to your body @Scott6255 . I hope a little more rest fixes the issue.

Nice workout @Teresa502 . I hope your mom's appointment went well. Tippy didn't completely give up until I turned the light off and went to bed. We saw the mom this morning and she basically ignored it. Silly girl.

Nice running @kgirlhart . The fog is pretty in the pictures. I'm sure it did make it sweaty though. I'm glad Tippy didn't get the rabbits too.

Glad you had a fabulous run @yirara !

quilteryoyo

I'll properly post tomorrow, but I did take a fast walk with Tippy this morning before breakfast and then strolled on the beach before packing the car. I made it to my stopping point around 5 and did a treadmill walking mile before dinner.

My eyes got a little wet when I saw these pictures. Charlie looks like he was a patient and gentle soul. Sending your son a big, virtual hug from across the pond.
