@polskagirl01 Love that race shirt! I would wear the crap out of that shirt. Nice run up the mountain too. I laughed at you making it through the whole run unscathed then tripped on the sidewalk!
@SummerSkier I got my booster several weeks back. I timed in to get it after a long run since I wouldn’t be running the next day just in case I didn’t feel great. I felt fine but I also never had a significant reaction to the first 2 shots either.1 -
Nov total: 5.3/70 miles
11/2: 2.2 miles

Did the first couple of miles with my husband then peeled off to round out 3 miles. He is struggling to get back into the habit of a training plan so I try to run a bit with him if I can just to get him out the door. I really hope he sticks with his plan and we can actually do the HM together.6 -

I am firmly in the grip of the covid booster monster; it was all I could do today to put on my socks and shirt.
@shanaber Thanks for the tip!!
When you pop in here claiming your December 2021 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?

@shanaber Great pictures!
@polskagirl01 Congrats on your 3 year streak! You’re awesome!
@Tramboman Hope you feel better soon from your booster.
Since I have an all day online training, I am working from home today. I decided to go out for my run this morning. It was about 48 degrees. My training run again called for 20 minutes at 11:13-12:13 pace. My watch told me twice that I was too fast, so I *thought* I was slowing down, but my pace turned out to be 10:48. Oops. With warmup and cooldown added, I ran 2.4 miles.
This weekend I should start some different kinds of runs, including strides, thank goodness.
Training runs: 2/16
Total miles: 4.716 -
Hope you feel better @Tramboman. It's so variable how the booster affects people.

Treadmill warm-up before strength training today. I meant to get there earlier, but as usual didn't drag myself out on time. I thought about running after work to add a little more because I'm getting behind on miles. But it's my birthday and I am going to choose walking the dog and then going out to a nice dinner.5 -
Lately my only option during the week is the treadmill and I am so over it. I am very much looking forward to some trail time this weekend.

Liar liar pants on fire!!!
As the morning went along, I was feeling better, and thought I could get away with a slow run if I didn't do anything crazy. Looked for deer tracks in the frosty grass, but didn't see any. It was mostly sunny in the low 30s F, with just a light breeze from the northwest.

I did wear it a lot, then lost it for a while in the closet, then found it again. It felt like a status symbol back in that city, because you knew people wearing it were in that crazy race.martaindale wrote: »@polskagirl01 Love that race shirt!

I'm feeling your pain from falling. Today everything hurts, and I think it's honestly more from the fall than the mountain. Hopefully it will just be like this today and I can get back to normal tomorrow. But then my daughter tripped going out the door this morning and is now similarly injured. Seriously, no one else needs to join this club! Be careful, everybody!4 -
I think I forgot to post yesterday, so here is the recap:
Wednesday: Easy 5.5 miles, combination of DG path around the lake, a little road and some RTP trails.
Today: 7.5 miles, easy effort with 6x12 second strides, 1:00 jog recovery. <-- This is one of my favorite types of workouts. I LOVE to run fast and get the legs moving.
Month: 18 miles
Goal: 165 miles3 -
I wanted to run this morning, but an appointment I had this afternoon got bumped up to this morning. Not too sad about that as it is currently POURING. Of course I run in the rain in Seattle, but prefer it to be our usual light misting rain - not this bone-soaking type!4

Happy birthday @katharmonic 🥳1

Today was another 25 minute run of 3km.
It was a bit warm and sunny for me but I managed it without stopping, except once when crossing a road. Hate waiting for cars!

Happy Happy Birthday @katharmonic! Hope you had an amazing fun day!
No run for me again today. Had a bone density test in the morning and then appointments all day for work on our house and real estate scheduling on the house where we are staying (final clear out of all the junk, cleaning and then the open house with the realtor). Got window coverings for our house ordered for all the windows but have a 6-8 week delivery delay! In just a few days though we will be back in our house and I can't wait!
