    My main running goal for the remainder of January is....100K (62.1 miles) in distance.
    Big goal, I like it. We're about 1/3 of the month in, where are you in this?

    Today would have been my first run for the Strava challenges, but I skipped running to cut up the tree that the wind blew down in my yard, yesterday. I've got 21 days left to do 62.1 miles. Less than a 5k per day. Do-able.

    A new beginning after a prolonged period of being sedentary. January's goals are to: 1) lose a substantial amount of weight, 2) rebuild my base (walking--> running, swimming), 3) choose a few races for 2025 and devise a training program.

    If you'd like a supportive friend, feel free to add me on MFP and/or Strava ( https://www.strava.com/athletes/swimbikerun ).

    I have attempted to send you an athlete invite direct from the group. Strava does not recognize your name. I tried from your profile and still does not recognize.

    This is also on the request to join list. I have not accepted because there is no history. If this is yours please let me know so I can accept it.

    I tried adding, again, but I keep getting error messages. Maybe try with my non-custom URL?: https://www.strava.com/athletes/155460788

    Note: I just changed my first name and custom URL, and it let me send an add request.

    Morning all.
    Another (slightly less than yesterday) Painful 4miler - at 11"01.

    Will continue to alternate between Deep Heat and ice-pack raised etc.

    Thanks for all the kind words 🙏🏽

    PS: totally unrelated sidenote-

    If anyone's interested...

    Movie awards season. Oscars etc etc
    (Done with Hallmark Christmas movies and Horrors! Lol)

    Saw 'Gladiator 2' and 'Anora'. Both good. Especially liked the latter. Movie with an actual storyline and relatable characters, not some Biopic or history piece which is made only for critics in newspapers.
