So we had a really nice run at the Greenway, went back to the car for our towels and water bottles, took a walk, and got back to find someone had done a smash and grab and stolen both our run bags. Nothing in there of any value to anyone but us - just hundreds of dollars worth of run gear, asthma medication (over 100 dollars out of pocket) eyeglasses, testing kit and strips, just the hood to my good kalengi rain jacket, my makeup to the tune of about 200 bucks, sunblock, bandaids, buffs, gloves, arm sleeves, my favorite shirt to change into after running, spi belt, race dots, body glide, about a billion dollars worth of kt tape - seriously this is going to cost a fortune to replace and none of it has any resale value whatsoever so it’s of no benefit to the thieves. Germantown police were prompt and very nice and took prints from around the window, but of course there’s basically no hope of ever seeing anything again. Plus we have to get the window repaired.
The bags were out of sight and covered, for all the good that did. It’s doubly annoying to know that we probably wouldn’t have lost anything if it weren’t for a jerk taking up two parking spaces so we were forced to park really close to the street. We talked to another runner who passed the car and noticed the window, and based on when we started our walk there was about a fifteen minute time period when this guy hit us.
Really really annoying and especially since there is no time to order anything online before our race Saturday. But hey, no one died and we were carrying our id and keys so at least there’s that.21 -
5k before school again today. Don't think I added it to my ticker, so have added it now. Hope I haven't doubled up...
@MNLittleFinn amazing race report! Looking forward to reading each section!
@Avidkeo what a pain! Our car went a bit moldy last summer (don't ask) and upholstery cleaner got it all out amazingly well. Maybe try that?

@rheddmobile ugggh, I'm SO sorry that happened and your running treasures are gone0

@rheddmobile How awful! I hate that that happened to you. It's good that no one was hurt, but having to replace all of your stuff still sucks.0

I know most(???) people are good, but there are some real a**holes out there 😠
Sorry that happened to you @rheddmobile!4 -
More stumbling around in the dark for me this morning. It’s lovely running as the sun comes up, but avoiding broken paving and tree roots sticking out of the ground when it’s dark and there are lots of leaves on the floor can be quite tricky. Soooo much concentration required so early in the morning!!
9/1: 10m
9/3: 6.3m
9/5: 6:5m
9/6: 5.3m
9/8: 12.3m
9/10: 8m
9/11: 6.6m
September total: 55m
September goal: 80m
August total: 85m10 -
@rheddmobile oh no! So sorry. That’s a lot of important stuff to you and I can imagine the frustration.0

@rheddmobile That sucks!! So sorry that happened to you.0

@rheddmobile - oh no! Can't believe that the bags were hidden and they still did a smash and grab. I get pretty complacent about leaving stuff in my locked car so it's a reminder that bad stuff can happen. So sorry.
Congrats on your race @martaindale! Great time!
@MNLittleFinn great race reports.

I arrived at the conference center in Princeton for my meeting this afternoon and had enough time before dinner to get a run in. But it was 90 degrees out! Shockingly hot after the last couple of weeks at home. I couldn't pass up the chance to run, though, so I went out for a while. I knew there were some trails around but I thought they'd be more like bike paths or wide walking trails. But it was a narrow woodsy trail and I wished I had brought my trail shoes! I did some roads and some of the trail. I cut it short because it was so hot and I forgot my water (after I filled the bottle and set it ready to go). And my legs felt pretty terrible after yesterday's tempo run. I wanted to at least get to 3 miles but I found myself back at the hotel and was just done. Hoping the next couple of days are cooler and I can get some more running in.7 -
@rheddmobile That really sucks!
If you don't mind me asking, where exactly did you park? I don't think I'm at much risk as I normally park at the visitor center and if I'm running Greenline, I'll go past the bison to get there. So maybe more out of curiosity and where to watch.2 -
5.20 miles tonight

I was at the GreenWAY which is a different trail system entirely - go west down Walnut Grove, turn southeast and follow Humphreys boulevard until it turns into Wolf River Boulevard, the trailhead is the one just over the line into Germantown. It’s confusing but there is both a Greenline and an unconnected Greenway in the Wolf River bottoms (although the trail systems do meet up if you cross under Walnut Grove). If you look on Google earth where we were is labeled Germantown Greenway west parking lot, roughly across from the opera house. It’s also where the Greenway bathrooms are, which is why we park there.
The Shelby Farms visitor center used to be notorious for vehicle break ins, but we haven’t had a problem there since all the renovations a few years back, and it seems like most of the time there’s enough foot traffic that it would discourage people. The parking areas up by Pine Lake and Mullins Station are still bad though. According to the cops today the whole trail area gets hit fairly regularly.
We sort of knew it would happen eventually and made a point not to leave “valuables” in the car, without really thinking how all our random little stuff added up to quite a dollar sum.
Anyway I hope whoever stole my extra socks feels proud when they go through our stuff and find a diabetes testing kit and an asthma inhaler. So stupid.5 -

Ah, I didn't even realize there was another whole trail system. And yes, there is always a ton of foot traffic there at the visitor center. I drive a Prius and even park in one of the hybrid parking stalls if possible. It's so close to the building, the wheelhouse, and the road that it would be unlikely for someone to be able to find much of a time window to break into my car. Even if someone were as far away as the bathrooms, they would hear the car alarm and see it.0 -
I had the best day today! DH went off to his Hanford nuclear reactor tour so the plan for me was to take Hobbes out for a 30min run and running out as far as that took me and then walk back. I ended up running about 45 mins because it was just so nice out and the area/views were so enjoyable I didn't want to stop. We did walk/run back from that point and stopped frequently to sit on benches, watch all the squirrels and take pictures. It was really lovely.

Hello everyone I've just found that community
My name is Ana, from Bulgaria, and I hope you will apologize my not very good English ☺️.
I am a newbie runner- running since January, but not very consistent. The biggest distance I've run is 5km(33 minutes). My goal is to run 2 times a week, 5 km, for the best time I can.
I know that is not much, but I'm doing other sports and running is additional. Because I like it, and because I need endurance20 -

^^^^ this!
I'm up in the hills this week. No computer. Typing sucks.
Plan said 3 miles today, 9 miles Saturday. There's a storm coming this way apparently. So at 7am I decided it was still 9/11 somewhere, and went out and ran 9.11 miles as my own little personal tribute to all those who can't run.
While I was out there it dawned on me that although I consider myself a runner now, I really haven't done manybproper long runs. If I remember right that was only my 3rd 9 miler, and I only did one 10 miler before my HM. No wonder I'm hungry!11
