Loved the recap @elise4270! I could just hear the swearing with the forgotten helmet and shoes. LOL to the desperate housewives Jesus. Excellent job pushing through and placing 2nd in your AG. No matter how many were there! You were rewarded with that extra steak arugula sandwich - which is one of my faves! Good for you!
@joannedrummond5 - fantastic time on your half marathon! Congratulations!
@jele30 - very nice job on your 5k! Great time. Cool to loop Lambeau Field and be on the Jumbotron!
Hope I didn't miss any racers, good job everyone.

Like @shanaber, I slept in this morning too and ended up running in hotter weather than expected. But I wasn't too mad about it. The sleeping in was so nice, and there was a bit of a thunderstorm early so I just rolled over and enjoyed going back to sleep. Then decided I should take the dog for a long hike in the cooler morning so planned to put off the run until evening. I finally made it to Fleet Feet though and got fitted for a new pair of shoes. I got the Brooks Transcend and immediately wanted to try them out, so did 4 miles along the canal. It was fairly hot, but at least new shoes and there was a bit of a breeze. Shoes seem promising so far. I debated hard with another pair so I hope that after a long run or two I feel like I made a good choice. I'm tempted to buy the other ones too and rotate, but the bank account wasn't feeling it today.8 -
@PastorVincent Yes, it is unfortunate that I bought the Apple Watch before I decided to run a marathon. I probably would have not purchased it had I anticipated running for that length of time. I am thinking my marathon will be around 5 hours, so no good for me.
I actually talked with my husband a few minutes ago about the 235, so I might purchase that soon and just try to sell my Apple Watch.
@shanaber I’m actually not a huge fan of Strava, so I wouldn’t want to use it. Looks like a new watch is in my future.2 -
No run today ... spent it wiring. Updating the old fashioned non-grounded outlets to the grounded with GFCI. Neck hurts from twisting around, but not much cardio...1

The conditions were good with it being cool and a tad windy but overall very good. The course was out and back and undulating along a riverbank with lovely scenery to look at.
Congrats! Well done!

7/22 Unplanned rest today due to rain. Instead I did a new kettlebell workout that almost made me want to throw up by the end. It brought back memories of when I first started "running".
Appreciation to all for the watch info. I have to replace mine soon as I can barely get it to charge and I'm not part of any local groups to ask for advice 5 -
@shanaber I don't want to steal @seanevan10 's thunder in case she wants to share her race report. She did get 1st in the athena group.
She does, btw, have the cutest 8 year old twin boys. Smart little guys!. Oh how I miss the innocent days.10 -

@Elise4270 Awesome result on your duathlon and a great write-up, you rock! Your double portion of food was well earned! 👍
@joannedrummond5 Congrats on your half, and a great time!
Rest day for me, spent sweating in the back yard fixing sprinkler heads. I did get to find out who's been stealing the pears from my pear tree though.

Wow. So inside, but yes I guess you can say that 1 -
@Elise4270 killed it today! I am fat and super slow but finished and didn't die. Thanks for meeting us for dinner! You don't owe us anything. It was a pleasure to hang for a bit.
I felt a lot like Elise (her write up is better) I placed 1st in the Athena class for the duathlon but the registration didn't get transferred to the time chipping people. They already announced the other person behind me. I brought it up, but didn't want to take away from her. The race people were super nice about it.
I did fall getting on my bike (clipped into the pedals and wasn't going quick enough) and then fell again trying to get my shoe on in transition. So I'm a little bit sore. Not hurt, just sore.
Next triathlon is Oct. Hopefully @Elise4270 and Eric and can make it down. Anyone else? I've got room!18 -

Thank you so much! They are so very smart and quite a handful.2 -
@seanevan10 Eric has a Scottish rite meeting thing that weekend. But I don't. It is the weekend after my quarter marathon, but I don't think thatd keep me from doing it. I just have to check the work schedule, if I'm on call I have to stay local.
October triathlon in Keller Texas anyone?
ETA girl we are all fat and slow. (Ya ya I know some of "us" arent) But we're dam faster than our old selves we left on the couch!5 -

Well, we will miss Eric, but we would love to have you! You can have your own room for the weekend!2 -
So, between storms and business when I went home this weekend, I haven’t ran since Monday. I did go out tonight, despite it still being stupid hot. 5.2 miles of run 3 walk 2 intervals. Was hoping to find a trail head someone told me about instead of my usual out and back from the hotel.... yeah, I found one item on my directions... and that’s where my luck stopped. So, my run is kind of a drunk looking route... but I did go as far as I was hoping for.
My runs have been limited lately by my one water bottle belt. My camelback was a casualty of my fluid living arrangements. It was in a box that got wet/full of water and very moldy due to a mishap in storage. I was contemplating holding off a replacement until I have a steady address again. But today I bribed myself with ordering a new one if I actually lived thru 5 miles with one bottle of water.
So, with the help of miss @JessicaMcB I have joined the wunjo /apocalypse ready runner gang. New pack ordered!!
5.2 today = 30.4/509 -
Question to start the week - What did you buy on Amazon Prime Day?
I bought a 20lb Kettlebell, a cheap pair of wireless headphones that work surprisingly well and a pair of Adidas Cloud Form shoes - not sure if I will run in them but they are really, really comfortable!. I put them on after my longish run on Saturday and my feet were so happy Could be recovery shoes, training shoes, running shoes or just walking around shoes but in any case I really like them and they were really inexpensive! 6
