    @hamsterwheel6 Glad the vest is working out for you. I don't have one yet, so I'm no help.

    I'm glad you are okay @Avidkeo ! Hopefully the Noxgear will help you be more visible.

    @hamsterwheel6 we haven't had any issues with it leaking from the mouth piece. Ours you actually need to bite to release the water. I let the hose go down the right side of my chest, that's the side it comes from the back and then I loop it back up the left side like a big U and then the nozzle for drinking is about 3" from my mouth. I'm glad you had no chafing issues.

    Ok I’ll try that with the hose again. I’m sure it will just be trial and error until I find something that works, thanks!

    Yes I’m pretty happy with it, but I will know more on my long run outside on Saturday!

    Hot short run in the morning. Didn't get much sleep last night but at least it's Friday.

    Gym tonight. Hope I don't fall asleep before then.

    Yeah, the hose should not leak.

    I run the hose over my shoulder and behind the top strap on the hydration pack, that keeps it in place while I run.

    Sunny, low 60s F, and an occasional cooling breeze made for a nice run.

    I think I was trying to blame the aches and pains of old age on statin side effects in a humorous way.

    Doing my best to resist. I have two pairs that I alternate and I have about a hundred miles left on my older shoes before they need to be replaced. But they're so perfect for summer!

    100 miles is not a lot, you might want to grab them while they are in stock and stash them someplace. :)

    @janejellyroll Love those shoes! Unfortunately they are already out in my size.

    I got 5.2 miles in today - my 52nd birthday is Sunday which would ordinarily be my next run day, but I’m doing a timed mile trial on Monday which I wanted to be rested for. So I may run on my bday or I may not, nice to have it out of the way.

    So far the dawn thing is working out nicely. It was 63 degrees and perfect running weather. Being up and outside this early also meant I met the raccoon who lives in my storeroom on her way home for the night. She has two babies now! There’s nothing in there she can hurt so we just avoid one another normally.

    Added another 1.92 miles today to my total - bringing me to 5.7 miles this first week (for me)

    To be honest, I had been doubting that I would even make it this far or be this consistent (the C25K plan is 3x/wk). The real test is next week since I've never made it through the second week of this program; but I think I've got it this time :blush:

    You can do it!!!!!

    02/06 9km
    04/06 7km
    06/06 7km
    08/06 7km
    10/06 7km

    Total 37km of 75km for June

    I'm doing well on my distance, not so much on the actual logging of it! Oops. I'm off in a moment to lay down another 5km, ahead of the planned 10km on Sunday morning. I'm really looking forward to that one. Then we'll see. I hope everyone is having a happy Friday!

    Goals for the year:
    1. Get back down to a decent running weight (currently set at 160lb)
    2. Run a sub-60 minute 10K
    3. Run a race this year, hopefully.

    Current races planned:
    14/06 Lincoln 10K - Postponed. Running for fun instead
    17/10 Autumn Richmond Riverside Run (10K)
    01/11 Lincoln 10K - new date. Here's hoping
