Argh Garmin, what are you doing?!?
Yesterday was my restday. All looked normal. This morning I look onto my running coach programme to see what's in store today. And notice that the programme is gone. Look onto the Garmin website and it's gone there as well. Well, actually it's archived and I can't restore it. I don't have the strength to start another 17 week programme, starting with 4 weeks of slow and shorter runs. I'm not sure what to do at the moment. Today's run is still stored on my watch, thus I'll do that one anyway. Might actually do a shorter programme with another coach. Not sure yet. Argh!7 -
Wow @yirara, the Garmin gods are really fighting you lately Sorry for all your troubles. Not sure what to tell you, but hope it gets straightened out somehow.
7 miles for me this morning. Weather still hot and humid. Went out for an easy run, but splits kept coming in over a minute and a half faster than I wanted. Kept telling myself to slow down, but it didn't work. But HR stayed in the low 120s, so I guess that still counts as easy.
The last few days I have started noticing PF niggles in my right foot. Panicked last night and tried the Strassburg sock. Could only keep it on for about 2 hours. Just can't sleep with that thing on. But I didn't feel it while running until about mile 4. Then for some reason I felt like I should splay my toes more when I land. Instantly the PF pain went away! Not sure why I thought to do that, but I'm going to keep doing that and see what happens.

@ContraryMaryMary hang in there, it’s hard to keep on task when things keep changing and weather is crap.
@rheddmobile you have too much going on my friend. I hate waiting for test results, it’s crazy. Skip had tests done a few years ago and cancer was a real option, I didn’t tell a soul (including her) that the doctor told me that, I didn’t want that out in the environment. The first words out of the doctor’s mouth was “no cancer” and I just cried like a baby. Waiting sucks. I did a stress test and the tech was like how long can you run on this thing, I said “when’s lunch?” it was like 8 in the morning. I’m glad they gave a clue to you all not to worry. Happy Birthday. There is nothing better than the smell of mimosa and magnolia! The lady around the corner has mimosas (as a matter of fact we took pictures with them the other day), when the wind blows to the North you can smell them a ¼ mile before you get to her house. She gave me a cutting but I can’t get it to grow. You can’t buy them and at least in NJ it’s illegal to dig them up to move them from the wild.
@yirara call Garmin they do a great job of standing behind their product.

They are useless here unfortunately. I had more problems with the Garmin Coach before, and they could not help. A week later they decided to send my support request to the UK, and then it took another week for them to tell me they can't do anything. I'd rather start again than waiting to be told they can't do anything for two weeks.2 -

Ret day today. Golf instead of running. Thought about running after, since it's nice and cool, but my wife/boss thought my body could use a break.
@rheddmobile Bitterly disappointed that the spoiler did not contain a belly dancing video. One of the things I miss most about Turkey (after the food) is the dancers. Happy birthday, and hoping hubby's just dealing with PVCs. I've had them for a long time, and once you get used to them, they're not as frightening as when they started.
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)

Good news! The cardio office called today and said the doctor isn’t even going to call to talk to my husband about results because there is nothing to talk about, everything looks perfect. He is still having crazy pvcs but it appears to be stress and there’s nothing to be done about it. Also it’s probably not that dangerous.12

I’m up to 29kms out of 50 as of yesterday. I went for a loop around a nearby lake and jumped in for a swim afterwards- it was gorgeous.7

Hey everyone. My step-daughter and her family left in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday. My cousins are leaving in the morning, so I am trying to get caught up with everyone. I only managed to get in one run while everyone was here, but did do my fast walk every day. So, I'm way behind on my running and HM plan at the moment. I hope I can get back on track next week.
Going to try to scan through all the posts I've missed. I'm over 120 behind, so won't all happen at once.
@katharmonic Congrats on your new bench press PR last week!

Not much to say about today's run. It was good, but uneventful. I ran 6 miles. They were pretty slow, but I am always slower in the summer when it is hot so I try not to feel bad aboutit. I have been enjoying it getting light earlier. Tomorrow will be a rest day for me. I'm glad the weekend is almost here. Work has been crazy busy lately. But the running helps.

Nice running everyone. @yirara Congrats on your fastest 5K since 2016.
Laundry is calling my name, almost literally. Will pick up where I left off tomorrow.

Treadmill run before strength training today. Kind of tweaked my back doing deadlfts, so I'm upset about that. But it's feeling better tonight after I worked on it with a massage ball and have been using the heating pad. It was very close to spasming so I hope I've headed that off.
I am off on a mini de-stressing weekend. I was offered access to a lake house for free for a few days so of course I did not say no to that, even though it was last minute and I couldn't really find anyone to come join me. It's a cute little house up on a bluff overlooking a lake, and there is a dock way down below (with a ton of steps to get to it). I brought my dog Stella and she has never really been on vacation before. She's doing well and is pretty wiped out from all the travel and newness of it all. I hope to kayak tomorrow if I can get the kayak down to the dock (they haven't moved them down there yet, they are brand new kayaks). If my back is not much better though that is not happening. But still, I will not complain too much. One pic of Stella and I enjoying the view:/

Hey all. Am still here hugging and liking as I go.
Been a stressful couple of days. But still managing to run. Well sort of. I skipped Wednesday cause I was so tired.
Today was 20 mins at race pace. It was a beautiful clear calm morning. My run was wonderful. I felt like I could have gone for ages.
Then I checked the weather forecast for the race. The local ones say 25knot winds. Oh well.
I guess anything less than 2:02:37 is what I'm going for...
Though this is the route I first did 10 years ago this week, and did in 3:07:12 so I'll be happy with anything less than that bahaha9
