Hi all! Sorry I have been so absent - work and life have been crazy and don't look to be improving anytime soon. I have been running though when I can fit it in before, after or between meetings and honestly a couple of times during. There is NOthing more boring than to listen to a conference call while running! I do have to be careful though to catch by breath before talking or answering a question. The good news is I should hit my Fibonacci goal this week and maybe my original goal over the weekend. I head to Dallas on Monday for work so I am not sure how much running I will get in while there.

I have read back through and saw so many great runs, awesome races, more newbies to the group and more than a few injury reports! I can't reply individually to all that I would like to so I am just going to say:
Welcome to everyone who is just joining. This is a really great, fun, knowledgeable and inspirational group!
Congratulations to all who raced or just had great runs!
I am so sorry to everyone who is injured - I hope you are all on the path to recovery and getting back out there!

I do have a question... Now that I am feeling better the nutritionist is adding back in interval workouts. Today was one of those workouts. After I got home and had a post run snack and then breakfast and shortly after I was just starving... eat everything, gnaw on the desk hungry and I have felt that way all day despite eating, lots. I have never experienced this before. Do Intervals do that to you too or is it just me?

Took 3 days off after C25K W3D3. Two days of camping, drinking, and hauling heavy stuff around, then one day of recovery. Failed to complete W4D1. Well, I guess if it was always easy, it wouldn't feel so much like success at the end.

I have a good headlight, I suppose I'll get over it if I just get out there and suck it up. Maybe carry a few dog treats.

Lately out at the park I run up on mama and baby deer and they just stand there in my way. They seem to like to be admired, I even had one step towards me. I'm like "I HAVE NOTHING FOR YOU, GO AWAY".

@PastorVincent yep we block the stupidest things here
@MobyCarp I’m sorry the ankle isn’t feeling better 
@shanaber I can just hear you breathing hard while talking on your telecom ha ha You are just busy busy. I can’t answer your question on the hungry and intervals since I don’t run them. However, I notice Skip is especially hungry when she’s had an interval practice.
@RespectTheKitty great job getting back to strength training and finding a new route
@ADLampshade great job on goal, give yourself a stretch goal for the rest of the month. Though I have to say that 70 miles is a big amount of mileage for just coming back this month to running. Perhaps a cut back week so less than 23 miles a week for the last 9 days of the month.
@Runningmischka great run in the heat
@kristinegift One of the things that makes you such a great runner is your ability to know your body so well. Makes you a very smart runner. Had to go and look up Dunkirk because I live with my head in the sand, actually sounds like a movie I’d like, was it good?
Welcome @clairebeneymfp
@BruinsGal_91 you are 100% right
Cool on the shooting star @ddmom0811
@elise4270 I’m a chicken too honestly I am just like you I hate to take the dog out in the dark or even walk down the dark hall. Running with Mace makes me feel better, running in familiar territory helps. To run in the morning in the dark I just force myself to do it. There are so many great lights out there you can use so you won’t feel like you are running in the dark.

I have to do a sort brag sort of she’s a mess on my girl. Coach called me around 5:00 last night “I had to send Skip home from practice” me “oh?” Coach “we were doing 200m speed work and after about 8 of them she was throwing up over the fence at the track” me “oh!” Coach “she insisted on doing 4 more” me “oh?!” Coach “after every one of them she would go over and throw up and get back on the track” me “ha ha okay then” Coach “I love her”. After talking to her it was a combo of things, she drank a whole bottle of water walking over to the track before practice, it was like 95 degrees out and she had an early lunch and didn’t have any protein bars with her so her stomach was empty except for the guzzled water.

@skippygirlsmom I hate to admit it, but your story about Skip reflects a lot of what my big TOF runs look like.....
