Doing OK, thanks for asking! She has rheumatoid arthritis and between the illness and the immunosuppressive drugs she takes, she is very prone to infections. Has a pretty nasty kidney infection and it was making her dizzy, nauseous, etc. So, when she got off work at midnight, I took her in.
I'm glad she doing okay. That's a very rough illness to deal with, I'll keep her in my thoughts.0 -
I 'll make my goal 100 miles running on the treadmill this month. I just started jogging, so I am not sure if it is a realistic goal for me.
Great to find you guys!
7/1 = 5 miles

I'm really digging the new Saucony Ride 8s I bought on Tuesday. I've run 17 miles in them so far, and I'm loving the plushier shoe. They will definitely be a good shoe for longer distances, but I'll stick to Kinvaras for the 4-6 milers, I think.

July 2 - 3.75 run/walk combo because went with my daughter and her knee started hurting (probably due to moving her into her new apartment). But, found a fun route for tomorrow morning in Astoria - Queens.

Today felt like more slog than a run with 2,051 feet of elevation gain on mostly crappy trails that run through dry creek beds. And it was fun.

First run of the month was a really great one once I got out of the house and got going. Sometimes that is the hardest part. Was so glad afterwards that I went because I just wanted to keep going!

I'm running a 5k tomorrow for the 4th, and my 12-year-old (almost 13 y.o.!) brother is also running one back home in Iowa, so we're having an unofficial race So I've got to rest up so I can pull out all the stops tomorrow!

Blessings to everyone running races tomorrow! Hope you beat your PR @7lenny7 and your dearest Bubby @kristinegift !
Great job last month @toadhunter911 and lovely job uping your goal for this month!
I have to laugh when you talk about eating gnats for breakfast during your morning run @skippygirlsmom ! One of us should be able to invent some kind of netting to prevent this very unpleasant risk factor. Esp, when you borrow your husband's headlight gear and run early am or at dusk. Between the draw of the light and the gasps for breath- cough, hack, yuck-roo!!!
Today- 13.1 great run and I thank my LORD for He has made me a runner!

Finished off June with 53 miles. Hoping to bump it up a little bit and reach my initial goal of 75! I have two 10K races this month. I'm both excited and nervous! One of them is virtual, and is this weekend the 4th! The other is on July 26th, which I've heard was one of the hardest 10ks in the state (r/t hills).. excellent ...as long as I finish them in under an hour I will be happy0

10k today...

@Runningmischka wow! I'm so glad you get time to run. Babies are great and yours is the cutest EVER!

2-lunch swim, 12.15 bike

I'm thinking cycling isn't the best activity for my SI joints. Maybe the meds aren't working or my shot is wearing off. *sigh* @JimCrackinDandy have a chat with your Lord please. I wanna run. *waahh*
