    @AlphaHowls Do you have an end date for your HM streak?

    Beautiful pictures @katharmonic. So, a 4 hour hike is a rest day? Only for you! :lol: Glad your streak is over and you don't have to stress about running after a strenuous hike.

    @kgirlhart Nice snowy and cold run! Love your goals too.

    Last month's total: 76.7 km
    January goal: 151 km
    Today I started week 3 of HM training with an easy 5k. I am planning on running the HM on February 4th, and my goal is to complete the distance, not worried about pace. I'm both nervous and excited for my upcoming long runs!

    Wow! The wind was a bully for this one. Gusts up to 40 mph and almost 70°F.
    Thank the Lord for compression hose!

    @TheMrWobbly
    I am signed up for the challenge.

    We can all sit back and relax, @AlphaHowls can do this on her own (you are so inspiring)!

    Just kidding. This is going to be fun!

    1-1 5k treadmill + resistance bands
    1-2 5k treadmill + yoga

    January Total: 10k
    January Goal: 140k

    Upper 30s F, rainy, and windy today, so I did treadmill.

    @martaindale Spectacular start to the year and great PR!!
    @Teresa502 Fantastic race!!

    When you pop in here claiming your December 2021 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?

    PUT THE FUN BACK IN THE RUN!
    Return to a good running weight of 175 lbs (second attempt)

    Smart decision @libbyralls ! I don't use an arm band. Instead, I have skorts and leggings with deep pockets where I put my phone when running.

    @kat_ontherun Which HM plan are you using? You will do great. I understand the nervousness. I was supposed to run my first HM last year, but it was cancelled. I still had all of those feelings though, when I thought it might happen. You can do it.

    Today was only my second run over 10k since July and boy did it show. It didn’t help I included the local hill climb up the long man however I will take a slow 10 miles with positivity.

    @quilteryoyo I'm so sorry about your cousin's diagnosis.

    @kat_ontherun I don't use an arm band. They annoy me when I get sweaty. I use a flipbelt. I barely notice it is there and so I love it.

    @Teresa502 Congrats on the AG win and good work running the big hill!

    @samthepanda Welcome Back! And Welcome to @3greyhorses

    @katharmonic Beautiful hike!

    I’m so sorry to hear you are having to do this with your family again so soon @quilteryoyo . Here’s hoping your cousin recovers well.

    @kgirlhart Pretty pics! I am also looking for 2021 races. I have a HM booked for February and I convinced my brother to do a 10k with me in March in the city where he lives. He used to to triathlons but got busy and fell out of the habit of exercising. As luck would have it, he is looking to train up for a marathon by the end of the year!

    @libbyralls Another climber!! No armband recs from me either, sorry. I really hate those things. I, like @quilteryoyo have shorts and leggings with a pocket big enough to hold a phone if I take it with me at all.

    @TheMrWobbly No wonder you were slow. That's some hill! You did great. International Finance sounds intriguing.

    @martaindale Fantastic HM, and that medal is huge!

    @Teresa502 Great job on the race, congrats on winning your AG

    @katharmonic Stunning photos!

    @libbyralls I used to use an arm band - I think just some generic brand off Amazon, but found it either chafed or slipped (not to mention the really bad tan lines it created :| ). I switched to a SPI belt to keep my phone and much prefer it to the arm band.
