    Bump. My cousin leaves today. Enough with the boozing and eating tasty food. Back to trying to catch up with you runner types.

    Signed up for Warrior Dash and Zombie 5k for next year so I need to get started with boosting my speed.

    There you go. Get back on track and get more committed that ever before. You got this!
    Also, that's awesome about the races. Where/when are they?

  • I think I got in 2 miles this morning. Went out for 3 mile jog and ended up with mile jog, mile walk, thanks to a stray dog I was trying to lure home. Poor guy was soooo skinny and had an eye infection :( My shepherd is a jerk and scared him off so I came home to get my nice older dog and then couldn't find him again :(

    Might get in an other mile and the gym before lifting this afternoon.

    So sad that my ticker is now gone. :( Hopefully they will come up with an MFP version for tracking miles.

    what happened to the signatures?

    what happened to the signatures?
    Hi Members,

    Thanks for voicing your concerns about the changes with signatures and tickers.

    Signatures were becoming very difficult to manage, as many members were adding multiple images, paragraphs of text, and three tickers. Some message boards had room for about six posts before leaping to page 2, as a result.

    So, when we added Groups as a new feature, we adjusted signatures to allow only for the inclusion of MFP tickers.

    It was a trade-off for usability of the message boards (they really were becoming overloaded with signature content) and deployment of moderator resources (we just didn't have the time to moderate appropriate use of signatures, when we could be supervising actual post content). So we let the feature go.

    We knew there'd be some concern, but I hope you'll find that Groups, and better flow in the forums, will more than make up for the loss.

    In the meantime, Mike is making note of your concerns and is looking at possible options for accommodating certain content in signatures without opening the door to any and all content, as was previously the case.

    Have fun with groups, and please keep us posted on your desires for the site.

    Regards,
    Steven

    So close to OH. But, today my body refuses to work with me to get there. Instead, I will be getting up Thursday morning to (hopefully) get a little longer of a run in.

    Hey everyone,

    This morning was so beautiful that I decided to run/walk in my neighborhood for the first time. So I'm adding 2 miles to the "I-70 road trip" today.

    Have a great day awesome peeps!
  • Keep up the good work everyone!

    walked 2 miles this morning. It snowed last night...not a lot, just a light dusting. Supposed to snow again later tonight. Means I am done walking or running outside :cry: I am going to try to get a couple more miles in tonight, but got a lot of cleaning and packing to do again before we head to deer camp again this weekend.
