    @chris_in_cal Been meaning to ask you how things are in your area? I couldn’t remember where you lived relative to the LA fires. A woman I work with has relatives in Altadena and they lost 2 family homes. You see snippets on the news but they tend to focus on the big money areas like Malibu.

    1/6: 5.4 miles
    1/8: 4.4 miles

    Easy run after work yesterday. It was pretty windy, which was awesome in a tail wind when you caught it the right way!
    I usually do my long run Saturday am but I have to work this morning so I will have to push it to the afternoon. It’s so much easier for me to get out in the morning and my run this week is 13 miles. At least the weather will be nice, which helps a lot with motivation.

    Comment (01/11/25):
    I was thinking about doing a 5K, but I didn't dress warmly enough to stay out any longer than I did. The winds are completely gone, and the smoke from the L.A. fires is sitting along the coast and nowhere near here. Still ash falling, on a daily basis, from the Aiport Fire, but not as blinding as when we had the brutal winds for a couple of days.

    Why do new shoes make me motivated and speedy? 🤷‍♀️😀🙃😂 In keeping with my decision that just because I am over 60 I can only hold the line and not make progress is horse pucky, I am continuing my drive to work harder and expect to be stronger and fitter this year for 66 or oh crap 67! 😳

    Today's 10 miler run was unplanned but the weather was really perfect - and you won't hear this Texan say 28 is perfect very often....😳😳😳 I had gotten some new Nike rocket shoes for xmas but delayed wearing them until it dried out a little so this morning was the day for them.

    Welcome @SwimBikeRunRepeat to our little haven.

    @Avidkeo please check in and let us know how you are doing!

    @quilteryoyo hope that whatever you thought you were coming down with disappears without blooming into something for you!

    @tarun_yadavA hope those new shoes turn the tide on your foot hurting! One can never have too many running shoes..😎😎😎

    @chris_in_cal nice to see you back and keeping active again!!!

    @Scott6255 hope you are enjoying all that snow and just keep it right up there k? And you know... because I always say this.🙃🧐 maybe your lower legs might like a change up in shoe styles? I actually got some trail shoes to use because my normal runners were not keeping my feet warm. And sometimes change in drop # can make a huge difference in how our skeleton/muscle/tendons react to running. For a while a few years back when tennis did my back in I was tottering around on 2" heels at work because it relieved my back pain totally (well along with excedrin migraine).

    I missed yesterday because it was really icy until the afternoon & then the wind got really strong so I did bike instead. Today was cold but calm so a nice fresh run. I can find my foot improving & this is the stage I got to last month & ran 4 miles & hurt it again so going to continue on for another few weeks. These short runs suit this cold weather anyway

    I've still been feeling under the weather, so I haven't run since Tuesday. I wouldn't have run on Thursday or Friday because of the weather, but I probably would have run today if I felt better. It's not covid, just a cold, and I do feel a little better today, but I think rest is best for now.
