    Running out of time to get a half distance in for strava challenge.

    @chris_in_cal I need the accountability as well. My weight is going up and I am not happy with that.

    There is a request to join strava group and I have not approved. If this is you, let me know. There is zero activity for this user.

    Did my Sunday Rest day walk between church and lunch. I'm going to try to get myself up and go to the gym in the morning. Since I found out it is closing, I'm just not as motivated to go. Seems like it should be the opposite.

    I've had a burst of motivation which is good, but we all know how sustainable 'motivation' is. Practices, accountability, change, resilience, support, etc all help. I used to get some that in the old MFP. As of today I am still trying to set up a solid structure to hold me through this next year of a "loss" phase.

    Hi Everyone!

    Great long run @SummerSkier ! You are having an awesome month!

    @chris_in_cal I Agree! Motivation is great when you have it, but you need discipline and accountability for times when your motivation is in hiding (which is more often than not).

    The weather over here has warmed up and was quite mild this morning. I ran 14.2km. To be honest, I am having to adjust to not being on the treadmill. My mind is thinking, wow, I have such a long way to go, whereas on the treadmill, I was just always THERE. Weird. On the treadmill there was no pressure, and I told myself, you can stop at any time, after x km, so I just was in the moment and generally kept on going. I noticed today that I was getting into my head thinking about all the landmarks I still had to pass to reach my destination. Tomorrow I will do my long run. I'm still coughing, but it is getting a bit better every day.

    237.4/280km for January.

    Nice 2 in a day running @Teresa502 . Did you get more snow last night? We just had rain here.

    @Laurz9191 Glad you are feeling better and have better weather. Running outside vs the treadmill is a lot more different (is that proper English?) than it should be. I can see how it would get in your head. You did great.

    Very consistent @tarun_yadavA .

    Glad you are feeling a bit better! 🤗

    I'm the opposite of you...I cannot STAND running on a treadmill. For long runs, I have someone drop me off in the middle of nowhere, and then I HAVE to keep going, or I won't get home. A great motivator! lol
