    I should have known that was one of Laz's races @skippygirlsmom! I (casually) know two of the runners - Michelle and Rick Gray!

    @skippygirlsmom I remember first hearing about and reading about that event a few years ago. Mind boggling! Also I recall a lot of laughs about some of the stories. I remember reading quite a few people's blog posts who ran the event, or were tracking people. It sounds crazy, and is yet so inspiring! People just napping on the ground as part of their adaptive run strategy because eventually you're not going to reach one of your planned stops. Just amazing.

    This morning I ran a 1-mile warm-up followed by 3 miles of hill repeats and ending with 1-mile cool down back to the car. Very pleasant morning at 55F and the moon was beautiful.

    @kgirlhart – Hope you are feeling back to normal today.

    That’s funny about “Sally” @quilteryoyo. If I had to keep up with a room full of 2-3 year olds I probably wouldn’t know where I was half the time!

    @katharmonic – Your 69-year old friend is amazing! I can’t imagine doing 7 marathons in one year and I’m not nearly 69!

    @Scott6255 – Amazing pace as always!

    @katharmonic Glad you had a good run with your friend for her 69th birthday. I hope she can find her mojo and get those marathons completed.

    @Avidkeo Sorry to hear the HM was cancelled. I'm sure the organizers are so disappointed after putting in all the work to get there.

    @Scott6255 Nice run. It's hard to believe that people, like you, are aiming for an easy pace that would be a sprint for me. I'm in awe.

    @Teresa502 Three miles of hill repeats? That is amazing.

    Sunny, upper 50s F, with little wind. My back stiffened up yesterday after chiro adjustment, running, and stretching -- not painful, but tight. Felt the aftereffects this morning.

    @Avidkeo Sorry about your half.
    @katharmonic Hurray for your friend. I get tired just thinking about a 10k, let alone a half or a marathon.
    @quilteryoyo Welcome to the mature generation!!!

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

    PUT THE FUN BACK IN THE RUN!

    @Teresa501 definitely a Laz right ha ha you are so right, that’s fun you know two of the runners. Linda (the girl I know) has run in this area for a while. I was actually surprised to see her try it, didn’t think it was up her alley to be honest. Glad she’s doing good though at 225 this morning.

    @WhatMeRunning the first female to finish, Kimberly Durst, her sister or sister in law has been posting on facebook, what a hoot. I guess Kim gets scared at night to calls her.

    @rheddmobile glad you and hubby were able to get out, if we trail run early I send Skip out in front of me, she’s a great web catcher. I also HATE sand on trails, it’s like stepping in quick sand. Glad your mom’s housekeeper has been able to give you a rest, it’s important to take care of yourself.

    Ugh @Avidkeo I understood what you meant in your post. – sorry about your half

    @kgirlhart saw on Strava you were feeling better, glad to hear it.

    @quilteryoyo I love that you work at the daycare, that is a crazy age you have though. Poor Sally ha ha

    @katharmonic so cool that the cable channel did a news story on your friend, Happy Birthday to her

    Nice progressive run @Scott6255

    Happy to say that I finished up my challenge this morning. 500 km in 12 weeks. It pushed me way past my comfort zone and honestly, there were days I was not sure I'd finish in time. But, I kept telling myself it wasn't over until it was over and to keep pressing on.

    87.12/116  miles completed for June

    I got out and ran 5 miles this morning.  It was hot and I was really slow. I stopped and walked a few times when I pulled my water bottle out, but did run most of the way. I felt ok, but I have been pretty tired today. I 'very been really busy at work and for accounting that means tied to the desk. I actually felt better at lunch when I got up and moved around so I don't think it was necessarily the running that made me so tired. I also haven't eaten enough the last couple of days,  but today I have done better about eating.  I'll definitely take it easy tomorrow and may even take a rest day if I think I need too.
