November 2020 Monthly Running Challenge

Congrats on your races and so fun to see @quilteryoyo and @Teresa502 meet up! Sounds like you both had a lovely day.

Congratulations @kgirlhart on your race!!!! Wow, PR and overall 2nd female and female master's winner! so awesome. Glad you're not too sore today.

@marisap2010 that hike looks beautiful. So totally different terrain from anything I see.

@skippygirlsmom wow, great job to you too on finishing way ahead of your goal time and helping someone! I remember you mentioning the cavern race and it sounded so cool. Glad you had a good time - that hill looks tough though! Great job!

Good job @April_M_2015 - it does help to be accountable for sure. I always think about how I'll need to report to the group! Although this is a very supportive bunch no matter what.

The great weather continues. I met a friend for a lovely late morning run and coffee. It was so nice I was able to get over the fact that I had just discovered my laundry room was flooded right before I left to meet her - by stepping in a pool of water and getting my running shoes all wet. Sigh. I think all is well though and it was a clogged drain rather than something more ominous (I hope, we'll see when I try another load in a little bit!).

@Teresa502 Woohoo on first place, even if you are, that’s a great time. Thank you. I felt so bad for her, her shin was a huge bruise already. A lot of people I talked to at this race honestly had no idea of the elevation etc and they were like “this is my first trail race I didn’t expect this”. The RD put an elevation map right on the sign up website. She was part way up the worst elevation and we all know how it is after we fall she felt sick to her stomach.

@Quilteryoyo great job! And thank you

Great job @kgirlhart

Thanks @Faebert @Scott6255 @marisap2010 @katharmonic and @polskagirl01 – they are running their twice a year now and plan to add a half marathon next year. It’s really neat to go from outside and so hot to inside and you feel so good you just want to run.

I felt so bad for this girl after the race, she lost her keys on the trail and of course it was during the 15K not even the 5K. It was the only set she owned so no one could even come with the other set, her purse etc was in the car. She said her boyfriend was coming to get her (we were about an hour from where she lived) I told her I’d drive her home since I live in the next town over. No reason for him to drive out to get her. It was so strange she literally didn’t say a word to me all the way home. I tried to make small talk but got one word answers. Seemed like a nice girl, maybe my driving scared her. What was really weird was by the time I got home she found me on strava and liked my run. Well I should reach out and ask if she got it all straighten out. I would have happily walked the 5K course with her to try and find her keys, but even she said no way in the world she was going to walk the 15K to find them, they could have even been in the cave.
