    Awesome run @Laurz9191, sounds like you smashed it.

    No run today, Pilates instead but boy, that was a dumb idea on my exhausted legs! I survived but only just.

    I then we home and scarified my lawn - it took about 2.5 hours and boy was I sweating - the machine was very heavy and my lawn is massive. Also planted five trees in the time it took for my husband to go and swap the scarifier out after the first one broke - happens every time I hire gear.

    Tomorrow I’ll rake up all the dead thatch the machine spat out, then mow, fill a few holes (thanks rabbits), fertilise, and over sow, and then my lawn should be on its way to croquet perfection for next summer (all fingers and toes tightly crossed).

    I’m supposed to run tomorrow but I’ll see how I feel. I’m only due to do 5k so that should be doable…

    December 14, 2025 in College Station, TX. (Between Austin and Houston)

    Registration hasn't opened yet: https://www.bcsmarathon.com/ the web page says they open in Mid-May.

    I think getting a rock solid commitment from our Texas cohort is precursor to me getting worked up and planning the race. @Scott6255 @martaindale @kgirlhart @SummerSkier Ya'll going to lead the charge on this? Other Texans I've missed?

    Last year they had 4-person and 8-person marathon relay teams. Our injured runners could do 3.2 miles as part of relay.

    “My null hypothesis is….”

    Rest up @chris_in_cal. A few more days and hopefully you’ll be back at it.

    Give yourself time @chris_in_cal . Rest and recovery is important.

    It is stormy right now, so I am going to have to wait and hopefully I will be able to get out and run in an hour or two.

    Lol, well it was my sister's idea & she ordered the food @tarun_yadavA, but no breakfast food - mushroom pizza, mushroom pasta, kale salad & lots of red wine.

    May:

    01/05 - 0km
    02/05 - 11.31km / 7.03 miles
    03/05 - 0km
    04/05 - 11.67km / 7.25 miles
    05/05 - 0km
    06/05 - 6.47km / 4.02 miles Treadmill

    Total = 29.45km / 18.30 miles (Goal - 161Km / 100 miles)

    Was hoping the sun would show up this morning, but no luck until after I finished my run, so kept it inside. At least the rain is supposed to be done for the next few days.

    You'll be back to it soon @chris_in_cal!

    Re: Texas race meet up. I can commit to the Bryan college station HM. It sounds like the rest of the TX contingent is iffy. There's no rush to register just yet so we can check again in a few months and see where folks are.

    You'll get there @chris_in_cal . We used to have a member here who always said to give it two more days than you think you should.

    Nice run @clementine003 .

    That's a lot of work @ContraryMaryMary . Don't blame you for not running. I think you got plenty of exercise for the day.

    Great run @tarun_yadavA .

    Hahaha @WarmJellyfish ! Just cleaner and more even tan. Mine always look like that from mowing and tennis and running and all the other outdoor things I do. We call it a "farmers tan" in my little corner of the world.

    Nice run @John772016 .

    Great running @SummerSkier . I'm glad you are starting to feel better!

    Sounds like a nice trip @yirara .

    That sounds like a plan @martaindale . Nice runs.

    @Scott6255 Slow and steady. You'll get back to where you were.
