    @quilteryoyo Beautiful pictures. You and your mom look so happy.  I will try remember to post a picture of the quilt.. I hope it turns out good. Thanks for the words of encouragement on my race to you and @martaindale and @teresa502. I am at that point of teetering between feeling like I won't be ready and feeling like I'll ace it.

    Couch to 5k is going well.

    22 minute run this morning. Feels good!

    @martaindale That's a great idea to add an extra week to your training plans in case of injuries. Must remember to do that when I get up to training for races again.

    I think this is a good sign that you're ready. The doubts are normal, as are a whole rollercoaster of other thoughts 😆

    Great picture with your mom @quilteryoyo and at your race finish @katharmonic

    @martaindale enjoy the extra taper week! I like to have a week leeway when following a plan, too, but usually try to keep the last 3 weeks of the plan intact (so I have to use the extra week before then). But I haven't really been following any plans to build up to anything for the past year (or 2?); it's been more a matter of maintaining and being ready for whatever race I have next, so I just do what I want and aim for a consistent weekly total most weeks. I wonder if I could go back to following a plan 🤔.

    @CarsonSurfs - I also hate day light savings. I just wish they would commit and get rid of it. We actually voted in CA to get rid of it but the federal government has yet to approve it.

    I believe that CA actually voted to KEEP DST all the time. I lived and surfed there for 5 years, up until June of this year. That was a point of contention for me and all my Dawn Patrol buddies.

    Mostly cloudy, low 40s F, with a north wind blowing across Lake Erie. Started out well, but faded a little in the middle, which is uncharacteristic of me.

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

    @Orphia You're doing great. You'll be training for a race in no time.

    You are doing great, especially considering all that you have going on @shanaber ! I'll look at the blog post later. It sounds interesting.

    Thanks @polskagirl01 .

    @Scott6255 You are so consistent, even when you aren't feeling it. WTG!
