    Global running day today!! I did an 8k run this morning in billowing wind that pushed me sideways a couple of times! Entertaining it was!

    So are you guys doing anything to represent global running day?

    PS I did not know this was a thing till everyone was going on about it but was kinda fun!

    me too! just joined and pledged :smiley:

    @Teresa502 I don't know how @MobyCarp does his bananas, but I peel bananas and freeze them. If they are big I break them in half before freezing. Then take them out and allow just enough time for them to be soft enough to bite. They are so good that way and I never have to throw away bananas that have gone bad anymore.

    I also have several stored bananas in my freezer, but I mostly use them for baking. Anytime one turns the corner to overripe, I pop it in the freezer still in the peel. Then I have wonderfully sweet ripe bananas for baked goods instead of the super green ones you always see in the store.

    I just added a half mile to my lunch run that I could pledge to MFP - since I had already pledged my 3 to my local running group :D

    Well I joined and pledged the 8k I did yesterday. Have to try remember in advance next year!

    It's absolutely appalling weather today. Its torrential rain and windy beyond belief. We had tornadoes about an hr away from where I live yesterday (rare in NZ).

    It's a running rest day so I slept in, but I need to do a 3k walk today for my June streak... Not sure how I'm going to get it in. Our gym doesn't have a treadmill anymore but it does have a elliptical trainer... Or I might just go out after work. Will see what happens.

    Thanks for the banana info @kgirlhart and @martaindale. I’ve mashed them for use later in baking but never frozen them in solid form. I usually only buy one or two at a time because I can’t stand for them to be overly ripe!

    @shanaber – I made a pledge too. Thanks for setting that up!

    @shanaber Thanks for setting up the MFP team for Global Running Day. I joined and pledged, after I ran. Is that cheating?

    I think it's fine mainly because I did the same thing lol.

    @quilteryoyo and @Butterchop
    I don't think it matters at all - you got out and moved and that is what it is all about anyway!
