    @Tramboman I had 34F. Cold cold.

    But the thing about the things in this life is that they are all temporary. Every. Single. Thing.

    Plus. Only notice how cold it is if you stop moving. ;)

    In Irving, TX it will be 72 with some clouds (allegedly) so I will have the opportunity to see the sun. Praise Jesus.

    November Goal: 100 Miles

    11/1: 11.02 miles
    11/3: 4.35 miles
    11/4: 4.35 miles
    11/7: 13.51 miles
    11/11: 4.51 miles

    37.74/100 miles completed for November

    1213.76/1000 miles for Run the Year Team Pavement

    I'm so glad I took an extra rest day yesterday. My calf felt much better all through the day. So I got out this morning for a slow recovery run. I ran 4.5 miles with a pace that was 2 minutes and 8 seconds slower than my race pace. I needed to go slow though so it was good. My calf felt really good, but I did have a bit of soreness in my left hamstring which surprised me because it hadn't bothered me before. I guess I was so focused on the calf that I didn't really notice it. I guess this was the hardest I have ever run a race because I have never been as sore after a race before.

    I am planning to run my leg of the Ekiden challenge next week. Possibly on Sunday.
    I want to make sure that I am fully recovered before I run a 10K and I don't think that will be tomorrow or Friday.  Does anyone know if you have to do just the 10K, or will it still count it if you run further?  Like if I ran 7 miles on Sunday, do I need to stop my Garmin at 6.2 and then log the rest of the run as a separate run? Does that even make sense?
    Great job everyone who has already done their Ekiden legs!

    @eleanorhawkins I hope your dad continues to improve and y'all get some answers soon.

    Happy Veterans Day @quilteryoyo and any other vets out there!

    Good to see you back @angmarie28!

    @kgirlhart Thank you! I'm glad your calf is feeling better! Hope the hamstring is okay. As for the Ekiden question, @ContraryMaryMary posted this yesterday , so I think your answer is it counts. You don't have to stop unless you want it to count as two segments.

    Ha. I discovered something interesting about the Ekiden - I signed up for two 5km slots, figuring I'd cover that easily in my run today. And I did, I ran 15km, however, as it was one run, it goes against just one of those 5km slots - perhaps I should have stopped and restarted my watch halfway. Oh well, fortunately I'm running again tomorrow!

    Thanks @quilteryoyo and @ContraryMaryMary. I guess I missed that post.

    Ok, I ran my Ekiden leg today on the treadmill in stopwatch mode, but when I try to end the activity on Runkeeper I get this message: "Completing your activity now will save it but your results will not be eligible for Asics World Ekiden 2020"....so I just have it on pause. Any suggestions?
    @martaindale @TheMrWobbly ...I'm trying to do my part for the team!

    @HonuNui - I have no answer for you but I also ran mine and can't get it to synch. I followed the instructions to use my watch and synch it to Runkeeper but it keeps saying no eligible activity is found. I also tried entering it manually but it still doesn't see it. I sent them a support request but have not heard anything. Worst case I will run again on Friday using the Runkeeper app instead of my watch.

    Hey Team 2 mates! I had an issue too @HonuNui and @shanaber. I used the Runkeeper app for my run and at first it was tracking my run in terms of time and distance, then at some point along the way it was just time updates I was getting - maybe it lost the GPS?

    When I finished and went to add the activity to the Ekiden it said it wasn’t eligible and I wondered if that was because it hadn’t confirmed the distance (I’d had to enter that manually from my Garmin). So I went into settings for the app and the Garmin to give permissions and eventually it synched and now it has all my runs since mid October. Still took a while for it to let me track yesterday’s run against the Ekiden but it did eventually.

    Regarding Ekiden, I ran at almost the same time as @Scott6255 yesterday. There was a delay in my run linking to the race (it showed as "you completed a virtual race" on my feed, but it didn't show up on our group race screen for about 30 minutes). Now it shows my leg as "completed" in the app, BUT a day later and it still isn't showing up on the results webpage. Seems like they have issues.

    I hope everyone can get their activity to count! I would be so frustrated if I worked so hard and then the technology wouldn't recognize it.

    11/3 – 5.03 miles
    11/4 – 4.08 miles
    11/5 – 4.06 miles
    11/7 – 6.25 miles
    11/8 – 4.60 miles
    11/9 – 5.07 miles
    11/11 – 6.22 miles
    11/12 – 5.08 miles

    40.39 of 120 miles

    Poured rain all night but magically stopped for my run at 5:00 a.m. Temp was about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday at 53F and 91% humidity.

    Way to go to all the Ekiden runners!

    @kgirlhart – The Ekiden challenge actually encourages you to run an extra minute so that the GPS will be sure to give you enough mileage credit.

    Sorry your having some hip/glute issues @shanaber. Hope your 100% soon.

    @HonuNui – I used Runkeeper also and it didn’t immediately match my run to the Ekiden challenge. I had to go to the page in Runkeeper where it shows all my teammates and beside my name I had to press a button – I don’t remember exactly what it was called – something like “link run”????

    I set up my garmin this morning to runkeeper but now thinking maybe I need to fuss with the app? I was planning to take doggo with me on the trail so I'd rather not have an extra thing to do lol (sorry team, trails & doggo means I'm slowing you all down 🤣)

    Sorry, I'm not sure about this one. I never tried to track through the app. I used my watch and synced my Garmin connect app. It worked fine for me but it did take a minute for the first race to actually register. The second leg synced pretty quickly. Sorry you're having issues. Seems like others are running into probs too.

    @teresa502 thanks for that tip-went to that page, and now the leg shows as completed......I didn't have to do anything. Clearly, Runkeeper has not worked out all the bugs on this challenge!

    Thanks @Faebert and everyone else who had suggestions on the RunKeeper issue. I also made sure RunKeeper had had access to all of the information in the Health App (run, distance, time, etc.) but nope it doesn't come across. I am also surprised it doesn't acknowledge my manually entered run. Oh well. I am planning to run again tomorrow and I typically get 4 miles anyway so it should be fine. I will run RunKeeper on my phone and Strava on my watch if it will let me. Otherwise I will just use RunKeeper. I used to use it ages ago as my primary running app. I knew there was a reason I moved away from it... Oh and even the RaceRoster support has issues. I used the link on the website under FAQs to submit an issue request and it came back that I used to wrong address... forwarded it to the 'correct' address but still have heard nothing. I am guessing they are overwhelmed with all the issues.

    I sent one to Runkeeper because everyone else on my team had their legs show up on RaceRoster almost immediately and mine is still not there. Couldn't find an address for RaceRoster and didn't want to make a login. Hopefully it will go through...

    I ended up going a little farther than my leg (3.35) and waited until I got home to check runkeeper. It saw my garmin. Then I promptly deleted Garmin from runkeeper and runkeeper from my phone. LOL It doubled up my run on myfitnesspal because I guess I still had runkeeper connected!

    Thank you. It did. For that time I thought of nothing but my music and the peloton coach in my head. It was long but it felt really good to have done it.
