    Did my first run/walk in about a month. It wasn't pretty, but it is in the books and I feel great that I got out there and did it. Went 1.5 miles in 21 minutes (I should have made my ticker tracker a snail. LOL)

    @BruinsGal_91 Your picture is very pretty. I love the fall colors. Glad you had a great run, even in the rain.

    I'm with @Scott6255 , no great words of wisdom here but reading y'alls posts has been inspiring.

    For myself, looking forward to running at least a short distance Monday, maybe hills or other speedwork. Idk, just know that this cold has kicked my *kitten*. Jealous of all the mileage posts.

    @PastorVincent a more timely lesson I could not imagine.

    @shanaber and ddmom-great pic.

    @lkpducky so sorry to hear about your friend. Sounds like he was the best kind.

    @fgsn I just did my first HM in 5 years on 16 weeks of training, no plan. Consistency is key as @marisap2010 said. Good luck.

    11/1/18 5 miles
    11/3 3 miles

    Total 8 /60-90 miles

    "slept in" for me then enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee before my run. It was pretty warm out but not awful. Not much to say today.

    I'm gonna follow up this monthly question with another. i wanna know, i want you to think about what is healthy? What does healthy look like? A hint: You wont find it in the media.

    As was said by @garygse very well...and yes much too deep for a Saturday.

    Ummmm... not this American.

    Ummm... Tonight in American we set the clocks back one hour... so the joke is very much American and makes no sense in places where they are not setting the clocks back one hour tonight. (and a few places in America actually... the last bastions of common sense!) On a different night of the year when other people are doing it, then the joke will before them.

    I was fishing mearly for something along the lines of "change towards healthier choices" and against stagnation and the acceptance of self harm, regardless of how it was applied. I was also trying to challenging our mental images of healthy.
