57.50/80.00 miles

I did another treadmill run this morning. The avg pace for the run was 11:51 min/mile. I did a slower quarter mile to start and ended slower. The middle was 4 x (5.5/4.0 for 5/1 min), which would have been about an 11:30 min/mile pace. I'm pleased that overall the pace was 11:51 min/mile and it didn't feel too bad. The last couple of minutes at 5.5 was a lot harder mentally than it was physically. Avg HR was 142 with a max of 165 bpm.

I am going to circle back to the monthly questions after the shock settles that Shana passed last September. She welcomed so many of us into this group. I doubt I would have gone as far as I did without her spirit and support.

What?!?! Shana Bereznay? I didn't know this either! I must have missed that.

I need to get those questions answered as well!

Well the last 2 days have been a bust for running with travelling. But I did managed to sneak in walks to the local markets.
Local Fruits porn time:
Longans and Rambutans

Chiku

Mandarin oranges

The best for last. The world's smelling fruit, also the most expensive delish delicacy. That is about USD25.
Durian.

The durian outside husk. Look at these babies

@SummerSkier awesome thanks. Also, when it comes to winter I switch to goretex shoes. Much warmer and drier.

@tarun_yadavA you're still a spring chicken. I'm already 60 and keeping at it. I have a goal to keep running and eventually winning age groups by default just for showing up.

@quilteryoyo you got a nice streak going there

@Laurz9191 puddles are fun! I also purposely go through streams as during a trail run race, invariably I'll get wet feet so I learnt to run with wet shoes. I don't wear goretex during races for this reason.

Last trail race I did in Sep 2024. Water got to hip/crotch deep in some parts.
