Thank God for running groups! Would not have gone out this morning without people waiting on me! And wouldn't have run quite so far without other people to suffer alongside me. 49 degrees but felt like 44 with wind from 14-27 mph, and a slight drizzle the whole way. Hoping this wind goes away for my HM tomorrow! I can contend with chilly temps and hills, but wind really beats me down mentally. But a good social run to cap off a 51.2 mile week. Not too shabby!
24.2/220
Awesome job. Yeah, sorry for you guys on the east coast getting all that Joaquin weather. We just got a mist and a few wind gusts.
Groups are great. I have 3 groups throughout the week. Makes getting up at 4:30 worth it. LOL

And here I thought for sure I'd be ahead of you at day 3, but nope! Your 22 miler has you way ahead of me per usual! But it's awesome that you felt so good at twenty miles to keep going! And I'm jealous that you can do 22 miles with 300 feet elevation gain; mine are always in the 800 feet+ neighborhood.0 -
Only day 3 and so many posts to read! Love all the pet pics
I brought my first super awesome running watch, a polar m400, which was my mid-weight-loss-goal-reward. And I spent 2 hours playing with it yesterday!
2 miles yesterday to "test" the watch and a parkrun today with a PB of 28:08. I was stoked
I am meant to do an 8 mile tomorrow but I'm driving to cardiff and back, so it's either get up at 5:30am before I go or go on Tuesday.
I'm pretty new to longer runs (8 being my longest so far) but it's cool to do an 8 mile on tuesday and a 9 mile on the following sunday, right? I think my legs will be fine with it, although i will have to miss zumba

@melaniefave41 your running partner is beautiful. Mine is an ornery pain in the butt that I haven't taken since I've started back running because he's too fast for me!
He's the husky mix on the left, my beagle is to scatter brained for me to take running, and the lab is too old.
@Elise4270 I miss my tree frogs! They are great little pets
Hey, everyone's animals look so calm- mine are all so unruley! Good looking puppy dogs!0 -
DAY 3: 5 1/2miles
The best run I've had this month (lol l know its just started) 15 1/2 miles down. I'm still on my runners high!!!0 -
I was trying to post a picture of my cat, Athena, but every time I try to drag the photo over a little box appears in the bottom left corner of the webpage that says it's not allowed. I've never tried to post pictures before. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?0

10/3 -- 2.47mi -- super incredibly proud of myself! I completed week five day three of C25k. Anyone who knows what that is knows that I just did my first twenty min run non stop. It went great! At one point I thought I might die but obvi I didn't, lol.
The weather was in the 40s and it was drizzling but hey- way better than hot and humid.
Really looking forward to my next run but may push it to Tuesday to give my shins a rest. Also doing 30 day shred..

I see you ran out of routes and had to go in circles, eh? Awesome job. I am not sure I'd ever be able to run the long distances you're running, but, hey, that's okay too Seriously though, watching from here motivates me to no end!
And, @kristinegift your runs are amazing too. I can't believe you run twice in a day and keep going! Awesome!0 -
@kstar_lee Awesome work and congrats. I did that not too long ago--maybe 7 or 8 weeks ago-- and remember it well.0
