Nice run @chris_in_cal . I hope the muscle soreness goes away soon.
Great run @tarun_yadavA . I hope the MFP issues are resolved soon. Mine always comes up with some weird message where the newsfeed used to be, but once I hit the food, exercise, or community button, it's okay.
That was the fanciest church dinner I've ever seen too @Teresa502 ! Great running and glad you didn't get rained on.
Take care of that foot @Mari33a .
Glad today's run was better @yirara .
That sounds very promising @kgirlhart ! I'm excited for you. Great run!

I did a treadmill wun before heading out for the day. I ran totally fasted today. I have done that twice lately and it has been okay. In my younger days, I couldn't do it. Of course, that was also when I had chronic anemia, so that could have been the issue. LOL
Anyway, I had hit the snooze about 10 times more than I intended too, so was short on time. The run was at an avg pace of 12:21 min/mile. My avg HR was 123 with a max of 149 bpm. I mostly ran/walked for 4/1 minutes at various paces from 4.5 - 6.0 mph.

Morning all
Got in 5.0M at 10'07.
PS:
@quilteryoyo btw. That wasn't my 10 year old who walked 50K yesterday! Haha. That was my wife. She was doing a charity walk yesterday with her coworkers. Shes not on Strava, but her email is used for my 10year old - so just used his as a one-off

Nice run this morning @tarun_yadavA . Well, I'm really impressed that your wife walked that far! (I was wondering. Is your son running at all now? I haven't seen a post from him in while.)

Younger one - not so much, of late.
Older one does - but he's lazy with turning on Strava so only a few sporadic ones show up

Oh by the way …
Got a friend request
Caroline seems nice.
I wonder if she's real.
😂😂

Had a good chuckle with that one @tarun_yadavA !! She looks PERFECT!
Amazing Mother’s Day meal @quilteryoyo! Yes, it’s my ankle and it’ll never return to normal. My flat foot dropped completely and even with the custom inserts it starts to ache by about 4 miles. I can cover about 5-6 miles but by then it swells up a bit as well. So I’ll reserve those “longer” distances for races. Without surgery it’ll always be this way, but the inserts keep the PTTD from getting worse.@kgirlhart good luck with the job interview! I hope it goes really well!
Yes, I’m looking forward to meeting you as well @Teresa502! Hubby is hoping his hip replacement surgery, which he’s having in a couple of weeks, will allow him to join in the 8K in November. We’ve both decided our HM days are over.

Hi all,
Yesterday was interesting. Thanks to Garmin's training plan, I did a tempo run and after that my lower back gave out….(can I swear here?)… it felt fine after the run, but after I got in the car, when I got out, I couldn't straighten up! Hobbled to the supermarket bent over like a 100 year old…. later did a yoga pose cobra to straighten things out (ouch). At first my hips couldn't touch the floor but slowly but surely, it finally got there. Weird. It still feels sore & stiff this morning. I probably need to do more strength training as well, something I've been

Things are not working out at the moment. Pretty much ever second day I feel like it's the middle of the night for me from 13:00 - 18:00 or so and I can hardly stay awake. Still tried to run today. Was slightly stormy and so I just went fast for the sake of it as it was not working anyway.

I hope the job is a perfect fit and that the company realizes what an awesome worker you would be @kgirlhart !
@WarmJellyfish - Yeah, I'm sure that's what all the guys are wondering…(Sorry about the back issues.)
I hope all goes well with hubby's surgery @daria0919 and he's back to normal activities quickly. I feel the same way about marathons - those days are over for me. However, my marathon PR was at Richmond. They really know how to put on races there! I still use my finisher blankets (one from the marathon and one from HM) and hope they will give those out again this year so that I can add to my collection.
