@tarun_yadavA - your photos say Charlie had a good life and great home!
My sister is getting married at the end of September. We had her hen party/bachelorette party at the weekend in Dublin and went with a 1920 flapper girl theme. It went great and was a lot of fun. I'm to the left of the bride and my daughter is to the right.6 -
Japan update! We have been in Tokyo for 2 days. The first day we went to Tokyo Sky tree, which is the tallest tv transmission tower in the world. There are some observation decks up at the top. You really get an appreciation for how massive the city is. Even from that height, it was dense city as far as the eye could see. The icon for the glass floor observation area made me laugh.
We also participated in a tea ceremony, where we learned about the process of performing the tea ceremony. The grounds had a lovely garden with a collection of bonsai trees. The oldest one was 530 years old!
We also went to Team lab borderless which is this amazing immersive art experience. It is the original and truly awesome. If you have seen the touring van Gogh immersive experiences, those are based on the team lab projects.
We also got to make our own6 -
Nice pic @mari33a Looks like you all had fun!
Cool pics @martaindale. That view of Tokyo from above is unreal. It's hard to image there is any green grass left3 -

It wasn't as cool this morning as it was yesterday. It was 72°F with 100% humidity. But it wasn't foggy and it was actually a pretty nice run. I started out kind of slow, but managed to pick up some speed as I went and finished my 6.25 mile run with the last half faster than the first half.
@Mari33a Looks like y'all had a great time! Congrats to your sister!
@martaindale I am loving the Japan pictures! Those bonsai trees are amazing!

This morning’s run was a sweaty one. Temp was 72F with 98% humidity giving it a real feel of 76F.
@Mari33a – Love the flapper look! I bet you all had such a good time!
@martaindale – That’s amazing what a huge city Tokyo is! The gardens look like a lovely refuge from all the metal and glass of the tall buildings. What a cute sign for the observation deck!

6.6 miles this morning. Took it super slow for the 1st half, then sped up at the turn-around, but it felt like I was doing even pacing. Pain level in left shin was 0, then about 1-2 after 3 miles, then 0 after 4 miles. I'll compromise speed over pain any day.
Heading to Austin tomorrow morning, and no time for running this weekend, which is probably for the best.

Afternoon everyone!
Got in 5.2M (at 09"33 pace).
@Teresa502 thank you ☺️
@Mari33a looking great! Hope you had a fun night out on your sister's Hen
@martaindale wow! What a view from the top!
Hope there was a nice rooftop bar there4 -

It was 68°F this morning. The humidity was still 94%, but the cooler temperatures make it feel so much better. I felt really good and strong and just enjoyed the morning. I was planning to take a rest day today, but I didn't really want to and it was a pretty morning, so I just took a "restful" day and ran 3.15 miles. I enjoy my Saturday rest day, but most of the time I don't like taking rest days on weekdays. I have been running 5 days a week with a long run on Sunday, three 5-6 mile runs and one shorter 3-4 mile run. I am thinking about running 2 shorter runs and 3 medium runs on weekdays. I don't think that will be too much and I would certainly take another rest day if I felt like I needed it.

Neighborhood 1.02 Mile (at 13"58 pace). 86 day streak.
I did the "wake up by running" today for the third time.
Though it has never been my routine to lounge in bed after I wake up, my inner resistant child took over. Instead of waking up and running, I woke up and pretended I didn't by staying bed for quite awhile, then finally stood up and went for the run.
I'm still not loving it.7 -

46.50/60.00 goal
I'm back from my FL trip. I did a fast mile with Tippy before leaving the hotel in SC. I'm glad because I didn't have the time or energy to do anything after I got home yesterday afternoon.
Today, I got up and did a treadmill session. I wasn't feeling it and honestly thought about just walking, then just walking one mile and running one. But, once I got going, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, so wound up with 3 miles total. I did 0.5 miles at 3.8 for warm up and cool down. The run was a run/walk of 2/1 min at 4.2-4.9/4.0 mph, then 3:04 min at 5.0 mph. My avg HR was 122 with a max of 144 bpm.

Awww. Those are great pictures of your youngest with Charlie @tarun_yadavA . I'm sure it was/is very hard for him.
That looks like a really fun party @mari333a ! The groom needs a bowtie though.
Looks like you are having a great time in Japan @martaindale . I do think Tokyo is a bit too densely populated for my liking. I did like that they had tennis courts in the picture. The bonsai trees are cool and it's hard to believe that one is over 500 years old. I'm glad it was in a place where someone kept taking care of it for all that time.
You're doing great @yirara .
Great run @kgirlhart . Congrats on the last half being faster than the first yesterday.
@Scott6255 I'm glad the pain subsided after a bit. The rest over the weekend will probably do it good. Have fun in Austin.
Hahaha @chris_in_cal . That sounds like something I would do.3 -
Good Evening, Everyone. I hope everyone is having a wonderful evening. I just finished my speedwork and completed 2 miles according to my new training plan. I have completed 33.8 miles as of today w/ 16.2 miles to go.6

I went to see Crowder last night at Fun Fest and didn’t get home until 11:00 pm so I just couldn’t get up any earlier than I did (5:30 am). I did a strength workout and then since I’m working from home today, I went to my local park that has a one mile trail loop and ran 3 of them. It was 80F but thankfully, most of it was tree covered. I still need 20 miles to hit my goal this month so I’m thinking I will do at least 10 miles tomorrow.4
