    @mbaker566 - I have those same shoes! don't run in them though, I got them just for walking. They have too much cushion for me to run in but I love the wide toe box! I wondered if Speed Demon ran in her cute pink jammies. Clearly she is a very stylish runner :smiley:

    Since i of a lot of road running, the cushion works for me. My trail shoes have significantly less.
    She does run in her shirts and sweaters. She's from the south. Her belly stays pretty bare.

    So I've missed my walk for 2 days now, unfortunately. Have been trying to get a walk in every day and want to add running once I get some weight off. Don't want to injure myself. I have, however, been very careful with my calories and logging.

    Sadly I've been with my elderly father who has taken a turn for the worse. We're now just waiting. I think I'll do my walk tomorrow morning before I drive the hour to my dad's.

    Trying hard not to lose focus. So far so good. Wish me luck!

    @Christine4695 Sorry to hear about your father. And good luck with your fitness goals for December.

    @shanaber Your cake looks so delicious! I was thinking you were so weird because I was discussing my runner friend, shirtless, and you said a picture is worth a thousand words and I thought you were telling me you wanted me to get a picture of him. Oh I'm special tonight.

    Enjoyed reading everyone's goals and accomplishments and glad to see fellow newbies.

    Not sure if I did the ticker thing correctly, guess I'll find out.

    Woke up late so wasn't going to run. After a little while decided that I would be in a funk all day if I didnt. So did a quick 5k around the local park, it was quick (usual caveats apply). I am becoming more relaxed about it being the daytime and peope being out ahd about when I run.

    In short, running is an emotional positive now?? I mean, its a theory.

    For many runners it is.

    @Kaitie9399 & @T1DCarnivoreRunner Good luck to you both!!

    @mbaker566 Had I known you and Speed Demon were going to be in my "back yard" this morning, I would have brought my girl to cheer you on! Sorry. Hope you had fun anyway.
