    @katharmonic I think it is interesting about the treadmill. My first thought when I started reading your response was "What? People who are there to exercise don't want to walk up the stairs to get on a treadmill?" But, I can see how they would think it is a display. I think it would be cool to run on it, overlooking everyone else. Sort of like the queen of the gym. LOL

    @marisap2010 Prayers for Daisy today. I hope the surgery goes well and they find that it is NOT cancer. My late husband was from Georgia. He grew up in Adairsville and has a niece in Kennesaw. I thought he had worked at Robins AFB, but looked it up and it was Dobbins AF Reserve in Marietta. Still a small world, just not as small as I originally thought. LOL

    Nice shoe porn @eleanorhawkins ! I like those colors.

    Keep my Bassett Daisy in your thoughts today, please. She is having an tumor removed, and we’ll find out if it is cancerous. I’m really worried about her going under anesthesia since she is older, even though the vet said her labs looked ok for it. She is angry with me currently because she can’t eat or drink, so she is being very antisocial.
    It's so hard when they don't know what's going on. I hope she does good with the surgery and that it is not concerous.

    Our winter left us! :'( For the last 2 days it has been low 60's and 98% humidity when I headed out to run before 7am. What?!? January is basically the only month you can usually count on cool weather in Houston, and we are barely getting that. And it's rainy. That's enough, time for the next cold front!
    It's not terrible and I'm not really complaining. More just wishing I could have a touch of cold for a bit longer.

    @katharmonic they're Adidas SolarGlide. When I started running I bought Asics because they were the only brand the local Decathlon sold apart from their own. Then while we were in Tenerife on holiday the summer before my first HM there was a big sports shop that did gait analysis and fitting.... he handed me a pair of Brroks Glycerin which were out of my price range (still looking for a cheap pair of those!) followed by these Adidas. I was under the impression that Adidas were more for posing than for running, but they actually work very well for me. I still have a pair of Asics Cumulus I wear when it rains because the Adidas are very slippery, but they make my legs hurt after around 300 miles. I can get at least 450 out of the Adidas.

    Morning all!

    Well im both tired and elated! This morning I was up at 520am, scoffed breakfast, then ran 13k! It is a beautiful, though a bit cool, morning with a slight head wind at the beginning, that turned into a nice tail wind for the return.

    I am so excited to be at this point in my training. Calf is almost always pain free - had a bit of tightness yesterday but no issues at all on the run. Hips are a bit stiff, and I made sure I did a lot of stretching after.
    Rear day tomorrow, and we'll earned!

    @Avidkeo awesome! Make sure you keep stretching!

    @katharmonic Glad you got your long run in, even if you felt like it was a slug. Those conditions sound brutal.

    @martaindale Hope you get a little bit more cool weather before winter is done.

    So glad your calf isn't bothering you anymore @Avidkeo ! You're doing great.
