Great job on your HM @martaindale !
@katharmonic Congrats on completing all of the peaks!
Tonight’s training run again called for 20 min at 11:13-12:13 pace. I ran on the treadmill, and my Garmin acted really strange and tried to tell me I had a pace of 8:23, when in reality it was really closer to about 10:50. 🤷🏻♀️With warmup and cooldown, I completed 2.27 miles.
training run: 5/16
miles completed for month: 14.49

My goal is 50 miles for the month. I have been running but not posting lately.
The weather has been beautiful lately. I had hoped to run at least 3 times this week. It is supposed to rain tomorrow but I am going to run anyway. The last 2 half marathons I ran were both rainy...so I can run it....its mind over matter.
I am also going to try to.post pictures of my ugly race shirt. I ran in it on Sunday.

11/1.....6.25 miles run, 0.65 mike walk cooldown.
11/7....4.22 miles run, 0.58 miles walk cooldown
11/8...6.19 miles brisk walk with good friend.

Total run...14.7
Walk ....8.27 for a total of 22.97 miles.
Was sick over the weekend but feeling better on Sunday.
My filly finished next to last in her championship race. The jockey reported that she was "worked up" before the race. She was leading in the race up till the home stretch and then she was passed by all the horses but one. They made a decision not to sell her this year.
@katharmonic Your photos are so beautiful. I have never heard of a pine marten. Thanks for posting a picture. I thought it was a bird like a purple marten.
@AlphaHowls I hope that your mom's physician can find something to help her. Can she be dialyzed?
@kgirlhart Congratulations on your success at your half marathon. I love how you dug in at the end to finish so strongly. Great race report.
@quilteryoyo I was thinking that you might help your back if you strengthen your abs. I'm glad that your chiropractor has been able to help you.
I hope everyone has a great week.

Mostly cloudy, upper 40s F, with a gusty wind from the southeast. Did 11k on 11/11 in honor of all our veterans. Should have worn my Army PT outfit, but didn't think of it until kilometer 4.
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)

Originally, when my mother's kidneys first started the downward spiral, we were told no. The specialist told her there really was not much anyone could do. My mother takes high doses of coumadin and a port/shunt would be difficult to manage/maintain. We will see specialist on 22nd and hope and pray for the best.

Anyone else having issues with the new format? Quoting doesn't seem to work well and if you find the 'Spoiler' let me me know. I am pretty tech savvy having worked in IT my entire career and this seems to be mostly a mess and lots of lost functionality with no information...
2 -
Took me more than 2,000 posts to learn the old format and now I'm lost...
2 -
On an announcement they said BBCode was no longer supported, so if you used to do the whole [ spoiler ] thing (or anything in brackets) that will no longer work. I don't see a menu option yet for spoiler. If it's HTML5 compatible you might be able to do < spoiler > .... Let's see ...
ETA nope, didn't work.
Only way to view the forums right now seems to be in a web browser, using the app is a no-go.
Agreed that more was lost than gained

Ok, to do spoilers, click the paragraph icon in the text box where you type, then click the " and then select spoiler
1 -
...and apparently you can accidentally hit post when you haven't typed anything at all and make an empty post. This was empty until I edited it to add all this text.

Test of spoiler

I can't stand it when technology tries to make it "easier" for me. I should have the option to type the markup that I want in addition to the UI menu. Dumb.
Anyway, 8 miles today with 6x15 second strides, 60 second recovery. Overall pace was 9:25 per mile.
58.8 out of 165 done.

Geez Louise, I never would have found that on my own! I didn’t see there was a paragraph icon even after you said it, I had to keep looking for it! It doesn’t pop up until you begin to type, and then it’s actually hidden on my iPad, because the field is slightly larger than the screen size, so I have to drag the whole screen right to find it. Why not put it with the other icons?
also I hate this font. Yucky.

I agree with everyone that the new format is not good, but I still have hopes since they say it is still a work in progress. Seems like they should have not went live with the changes though until they finished going through Alpha / Beta testing 😏 🤷♂️
But I DO LIKE the 'Save as Draft' button!

11 Nov total 70.15 out of 150 goal. 214.21 left for run the year so need to avg 4.284 the rest of the year to complete on time. I am slightly ahead planning to coast to the end in Dec hopefully. interesting. The spacing was huge when I tried to copy last post so I just did a copy from my spreadsheet. The colors are different shoes... I keep track of mileage also. haha... I did not QUITE get the spoiler thing going...

Biggest hugs to you @AlphaHowls . I can't imagine how difficult your mom's situation is for you. I'm glad you brother is coming in to see her. I'm sure they will both enjoy that!
@skippygirlsmom Does the 5K go into the cave too? The one I was looking at it did.
@martaindale Glad your post race run went well.
@ContraryMaryMary I did talk to the chiropractor today and told him about you all talking about how much your glutes hurt but no one said it bothered their lower back. He looked surprised. He said I probably did excellent on the standing test because it uses my leg muscles too, which are in good shape from running. According to him, the leg raise test uses mostly your lower back muscles. Who knows. Maybe I described it wrong.
@katharmonic I thought the pine marten was a bird too. I'm glad you posted the picture. Yeah for a free gym. Glad you tried it out!

Oh, thank you! Never would have figured that out. That little paragraph symbol looks like some formatting error to me. Everything looks very ugly and crude. I'm using the web browser, haven't tried the app at all.
Today's late afternoon run was on the canal, snuck in just before dark.
Oh hey look at this, when I copy/paste from my spreadsheet it becomes an image and you can click on it and change the alignment. And now the text is wrapping. We'll see how this posts though.

This was from 10/28/2021, just testing how the images come up

Ok, I give up, I am just not into technology. This, after having to spend 4 hours with Verizon to get upgraded into the century! I want my 3G flip phone back!
5 -
Thanks @WhatMeRunning! I would never have found it either. When/where did you see an announcement about the changes being implemented?
I suspect with no BBCode being supported, the ticker some of use will no longer be supported either unless we can try different formats and see what works.
@Scott6255 - they seem to do a LOT of testing in production and fix after the fact as needed...
@katharmonic - I like that it will wrap text!
I don't use the app at all. I find it very unfriendly and buggy. I am also unable to get to my newsfeed/food or exercise diary today at all. Wondering if they are making a bunch of changes there too since the Community pages were down most of the day yesterday for me at least.
I finally had time this morning to get a run in. Too bad we are having Santa Ana winds that kicked in overnight and it was hot, hot, hot even early this morning. It was well over 80F by 7:30-8am and got up to around 95F. We only did 2.45miles but it was at least something. I should be able to get out on Saturday for a run too. Not going to try tomorrow because it is going to be so hot again and we need to get some errands done in the morning.

@shanaber I think they mention it in one of the links in the announcements banner at the top about the changes and bugs. They are blaming it on their forum provider no longer wishing to support the older ways MFP had things set up for their forum settings.
0 -
@AlphaHowls one of the bugs listed in their open bug reports link above is about images in spoilers not actually appearing in the spoiler. So it's not you doing anything wrong, it's just not working right. Neither is the Community section in the app for Android users. Only way here for Android users is to use a web browser.

Today I finally got to walking. Been taking it easy with my hip. The piriformis is gradually less tight but still not there yet. I’ve been using a foam roller on the left hip and I think it’s helping too but I don’t know if I like it. I guess I was expecting a softer massage. I will get used to it.
this months mileage
11/11 2.00 miles walking

Honestly I don't mind seeing a rainbow NOT in a spoiler. anytime! :) thanks for the pretty photo this morning.
The spacing, coloring and random font sizing / location of things is pretty awful. I wonder who they hired to make the changes.
2 -
I agree, it's weird. For the spoiler, click on the paragraph button to the left, then go to the quotation marks. The spoiler is under there. Not easy to find at all. I didn't even realize the paragraph thing was menu at first.
And now I see @WhatMeRunning already posted this. Oh well.
Now that it was said, I notice the lack of tickers on posts. I do ❤️ the save as draft. On days when I am catching up from a few days away, it is so easy to lose a post as I try to work through several pages of posts and respond to people.

Sunny, low 40s F, with a wind from the southeast. Legs didn't feel too bad today, considering...
Clearly our 20+ posts a day average on this thread has taken a hit due to the new format. I cant access community either on my android phone.
When you pop in here claiming your December 2021 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
PUT THE FUN BACK IN THE RUN!

Back from vacation and caught up on the posts and gave lots of hugs and likes - even with the funky formatting. 😏 Today's run was uneventful. 45F only about 10 degrees cooler than the past few morning runs at the beach.

Just trying out new forum posting, and it lost my whole post. Guess I should've clicked to "save draft".
Nothing much to report, I'm still on @quilteryoyo 's leg raise and tried again today. I could do superman, but when I put my arms down, my legs went down too. I couldn't get anything to engage to lift my legs alone.
This spoiler warning alone looks triggering. But will it let me add a picture?
Ok, maybe not. I tried to insert and attach, and nothing happened 🤔 Oh well.
