    Oh, and Garmin says I’m detraining - makes a change from being unproductive 🤪.

    Remember when Garmin was being nice to me? Well that’s definitely over 😂

    oh man @Scott6255 just when MY knee is finally behavin better today and apparently I sent the bad juju right up north of me. Maybe not both your knees match?😏😳 seriously I hope it's nothing too serious and that tomorrow you will have a positive report for us.

    Happy Birthday @quilteryoyo 's MOM. She and I share the date!!!!

    I am also going to report that my Apple watch took note of my birthday and immediately dropped my VO2max fitness from 41.4 to 41.1 today .. So like any one else would I went in a backdated my birthday a year - be interesting to see what tomorrow's report is. I have sneaking suspicion it will pop back to 41.4

    I always find it interesting that all of the health metrics use age as one of the weighting factors in their calculations. I have a hand held BMI/BF% thingy and depending on what age I tell it i am it recalculates significantly

    Anyway, limiting my runs to 5K the past couple of days since i remembered from way way back in the 90s that would help my knee and it really seems to have. Currently up to 65 miles for the month out of I dunno how many I decided on.

    Hai Hai says I love you Mom but LET ME GO!

    @Scott6255 I hope the knee isn't too serious.

    I ran 6 miles this morning and did 3 x hill repeats. It was pretty tough. Partly because I was tired, but it was also 81°F. I saw the skunk from last week. I was running down the hill the first time and saw him crossing the street right in the middle of the hill. But he went on his way so I continued. Then on my 3rd time down the hill, I saw him crossing the street again in the same spot but going the other direction.

    SummerSkier@SummerSkier What a cute kitty! See my profile picture for my kitty Wesley

    Today I dropped from my virtual half to the virtual 10km. I am struggling again and know I won't be ready enough in 1 1/2 months for a half marathon. I haven't got out for a run again this week, even though I was on vacation and had lots of free time. I am working on my motivation to get out today yet. It's only 1pm and there is still time. I added it to my "to do list" for the day.

    Total = 89.62km / 55.69 miles (Goal - 161Km / 100 miles)

    Lead legs today; I blame my insomnia (hate laying in bed wide awake so gave up, got up, & watched movies (Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb & Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3); also possibly to blame - too little protein & sodium in my diet yesterday…..

    I was originally thinking of doing an 8-10km but decided after the first lousy feeling 1km to make it a quick 5K & keep it close to home.
