When I was in NYC the past week I would give a wave or nod to the runners I passed and no one would even look at me. Here in VA, and when I get home in FL, that's just the standard. People give a wave back or wave first. I just kept on waving and smiling at people to see if anyone would respond - a couple did!
I grew up doing that in CA and also in VA... so here it's weird I catch myself smiling or saying hi- or good jog here in NJ and people look at me like I"m crazy- or they just seriously don't make eye contact.
Yes- the struggle of being a friendly runner!
LOL I'm from MD, and I live in NJ now. It's like people are afraid to speak or smile up here. I think it's funny.0 -

So apparently all this running and eating less is good for my health.
The numbers for my cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, etc have all taken a great turn for the better. In the graph, the start of my exercise and weight lose was March of 2015.
Not that I needed any more motivation but this definitely keeps that desire to run very strong.

@JoRocka - love your new picture! I have a (smaller) Carl who sits on my desk along with Kevin!
@Timby1 - great job on the hills and steps. Bet the ocean view made it easier going - maybe, just a little.
@CrimsonWhite - I am pretty sure runners are not supposed to walk and definitely not on sidewalks! Every time I do I get injured!
@Stoshew71 - Love the message!
@Ohhim - Glad you were able to work with the delay and get in a run. Hope your flight south went without incident.
@7lenny7 - Great score on the beer tickets! Also awesome on your NSV with the blood tests!
I had an ok run today. Went late and it was already humid and getting hot! I was just happy to be able to get out there for a run! I may have overdone it a bit at strength training - my knee is a little sore again. I have a rest day tomorrow so it should hopefully be good to go on Thursday.

Too funny, too true!
That is hilarious. "Fiber before oragami." "App that tracks exactly what I'm gardening." "we're training. For charity!"
We are ALL guilty as charged. And unrepentant.

I'm going to set a goal of 75 I'm miles. I only have a Fitbit to determine my miles, which I know is not hugely accurate. I'm a newbie/beginner. Although I'll be honest, I do a lot more walking than running. But, hey at least I get out there, that's all that counts, right?0

It's so true! I'm from Iowa and am currently living in NJ, so I'm always accidentally making accidentally eye contact and awkwardly smiling at people who would much rather pretend to ignore my existence entirely!0 -
Managed 53 in the last 5 days so that's me up to 111 miles. My target of 200 is back on I think.0

7/11 - FINALLY! 3.5 miles on hotel treadmill (22.6 for month)

7/13 - 4 miles at 5:00 a.m., 81° and humid...air you can wear (26.6 for the month so far). Will catch up with everyone's weekend later today.
7/14 - 5 miles, still pretty hot, but not as humid as yesterday. Because of all the missed days from illness, adjusting my goal down to 100.
7/15 - 4.1 miles.
@ddmom0811 - Nice distance PR! You are just killing it this summer!
@CaitlinAnne111 - That's right! We all start somewhere and your run/walk mix is way better than sitting like a lump If you want more accurate distance, there are several mapping sites and/or apps. Or, if you have a smartphone, I suggest MapMyRun or MapMyFitness.0 -
@Elise4270 - Ewwww! That is funny...but only because it happened to someone else.0

Only 4 weeks left of my 10K training program, and then I plan to start an intermediate 15K training program (first 15K this November!!)
Yesterday, I did a 5K, and it was actually a personal best time for me.
