    Love running in the spring @martaindale, out on the trails, recreation paths, streets, everyone is very friendly and happy to say 'Hi'.
    I'm sure it's a 'we're finally able to enjoy the nice day' vibe, but it's always a good thing.

    @martaindale thanks for that. Most of my aches are joint related, sigh getting old, no rest for the wicked🙄😏😂

    Sorry today's run was so bad @yirara . Hopefully you'll get the timing/amounts worked out and more of your runs will be good ones. I am impressed that you get out there and keep running despite your issues.

    You're doing great @John772016 .

    @martaindale Glad you are feeling better and everyone was nice today.

    36.35/80.00 goal

    I had a full day yesterday, so didn't post my exercise. I did a short treadmill run before heading out for the day. Avg pace was 12:14 min/mile. Avg HR was 118 with a max of 149 bpm.

    After the run, I went to the gym for my personal trainer session…TRX, dumbbell row, seated diverging row, and hanging leg raises.

    Then I worked at the daycare for 6 hours - in the one year old classroom. We had 6 littles. They are a sweet, but rambunctious group. After that, I had a church meeting to discuss music for the next few weeks. It was 7:30 before I got home.

    Today, I had a lot I needed to get done, so was planning on a fairly short run. I did a run/walk of 3/1 min. After I got past two miles (when I was planning on stopping the run) I kept telling myself, "Just one more interval." I basically made myself quit at 4.25 miles (an hour) so that I would have time to practice music for tomorrow, do laundry, vacuum the floors, and clean the gutters.

    I did a fancy structured run with my watch, 2.00 miles 17'04"

    Afterward it gave some descriptions:
    Step Cadence - Higher cadence is associated with higher efficiency and lower risk of injury.

    Stride Length - Shorter stride length is associated with higher efficiency.

    Ground Contact Time - Lower ground contact time is associated with higher efficiency and faster running

    Vertical Oscillation - Lower vertical oscillation is associated with higher efficiency and faster running

    Vertical Ratio - Lower vertical ratio is associated with higher efficiency

    First time joining-late to the party but better late than never. My goals are walk/jog more so than run but just basically to move! Eventually would love to work my way up to be able to actually run. Had really increased my “run” distance last year (probably more of a jog to most standards .. I got little legs 🤣 and not far) but hurricanes, holidays, work, and fatigue just 🤷🏼‍♀️ … did me in. Trying to get back in the routine of at least moving! It will only get better from there!

    I got a run in yesterday between hospital visits to keep me sane and same today. They r doing lots of tests endoscopy, colonoscopy, mri, ct scan, blood, etc. I’m seeing the consultant 2moro morning but the doctor I spoke to on Thursday admitted their equipment can only see so much & so they r referring him to another hospital in Dublin which will take a few weeks. I’m expecting them to send him home tomorrow with a bag full of pills. Our health system is completely overloaded and it’s a sort of patch you up and send u on routine but I’m not going away this time until they resolve where his pain is coming from
