    @7lenny7 great race report, and I nth the suggestion to get that foot looked at. Injury rehab sucks, but it sucks more if the injury gets aggravated!

    Whew! My November 3rd half is postponed until December 1st due to flooding.

    Watch out Texans.

    Yeah, the entire City of Austin has been on a boil water notice because the debris from flooding is impacting the water treatment facilities. They have not said when it will be fixed (not today and probably not tomorrow?). Its a great day to be a water seller. The grocery stores are completely wiped out of bottled water. :/

    @amymoreorless oh thats rough. I hadn't thought about the water quality. We've been lucky its all headed your way and flooding has been short lived here.
    DH didnt get a hoverboard. *Sadness* said the box was empty and he never found anyone at Walmart to help him.. thats fine. Prob crap at Walmart anyway... Amazon can help me.

    Anyone hear how @LaDispute57 did? I feel like he should have finished his race by now, but I did not see any update...

    Let's try this on Strava:

    Miles for Dennis
    https://strava.com/athletes/milesfor_dennis If the link doesn't work, just search for him. "Miles for" is the first name, "Dennis" is the last name ;)

    Once you're connected as followers, tag him on the run you dedicated to him (under "edit activity". That's the "add a friend who didn't log" option.) Once we get the notification, one of the administrators can save it as a Dennis run. When we have everyone's runs logged, someone who is good at the fun mapping tools can come up with some visualizations for us :) This will work for the marathons people are doing in the future as well.

    Administrators: How about @Orphia , @Elise4270 , @_nikkiwolf_ , others??? Basically we're accepting friend requests, then when we get notification that someone sent us a run, add it as Dennis' own with the name of the person in the title. I had to save the picture and manually add it to my own run.

    @polskagirl01 Sorry I didn't reply right away (spent Fri-Mon at my parents 50th wedding anniversary, didn't get a single chance to check in at MFP). Thank you for creating the account! Letting people tag runs and adding them seems much better than giving everyone the password. If you need one more person to accept requests & add runs, sure, I'll be happy to help :smiley:

    Nice cool 5 miles this morning. 55F with drizzle. Felt good not to race. Looking to get into the meat of marathon training. Sounds good now, but I know it will start to get really hard very soon. Just hoping I can keep up with the miles without getting hurt.

    Good call on getting to the doc @7lenny7. Hoping for good news.
