    85.15 of 100 miles

    So far behind on the posts as usual! We finished this part of our testing early so I have a week at home, well almost at home, I leave on Wed morning to meet Skip at the beach until Sunday. Yay! Mommy daughter time! Work was really killing me so my running last week suffered, that’s okay I don’t want to make running a chore so if I choose not to run I didn’t. I did manage to get my November half in. I’m really excited about this one, the others were with some walking or I did 10 miles and finished 3 at night something like that, this one was 13.1 all running, no splitting it up, no walking, I’m so happy. Still 50 minutes behind my PR but hey I’m good with that.

    Medal for Nov

    MFP just told me I’ve been here 8 years. Wow

    Thanks everyone for the kind words on the 12K. I just signed up for a HM in February at Gulf Shores called We Run This Beach. It’s in the state park and it has full and half options. Skip is doing the full (or so she tells me), I’ll do the half.

    I went through the posts I missed doing liking and hugging.

    @katharmonic beautiful pictures from last week.

    @rheddmobile I get very frustrated with people who don’t move or take up a whole trail. In the 12K Ansley’s Angels was there, they are an organization that runs with adults (mostly) in special race wheelchairs. I ran with them a bit and if that girl didn’t yell on your right over and over and over, if you can’t hear someone yelling at you because either you are rude or have earbuds in just think if she was a car or attacker. OMG I don’t know if I should laugh or cry about the couple with the dog. Maybe she had a plan to push him off the cliff!

    @polskagirl01 sorry about the hospital trip




    Races:
    Spooktacular 5K – Oct 30th
    Battleship 12K in Mobile – Nov 14th

    @skippygirlsmom happy 8th mfp-anniversary! Have fun at Gulf Shores! Our extended family has been going there for Summer vacation for many years.
    @SummerSkier hope the weather isn't too too bad so you can get those final miles in.
    @Teresa502 sorry you are having bad symptoms from the booster. I was hoping to get mine this week but think it's going to be pushed to next week.
    @shanaber it looks like Hobbs and Beaux are becoming best friends! They are very cute together.

    6 miles this evening. Felt pretty good after the first few minutes. Tried to take it fairly easy. Ended up just about like my normal 6 mile pace, if not a tad faster. Not bad at all.

    @rheddmobile oh my, that is terrible. I'm so sorry you went through that (and still are). I know these virtual hugs aren't the same, but I'm sending you a big one. And I will be praying for you.

    @rheddmobile sooooo sorry! That sounds scary, both the heart scare and the ER treatment. Huge hugs going out to you ❣️😥

    Hope you have a great beach trip with Skip @skippygirlsmom with no work worries!

    We will be here when you’re ready to join back in @Lorelei19.

    Oh goodnesss @rheddmobile I’m so sorry you are having heart issues and got such poor treatment (or lack thereof) at the ER. That’s just dreadful. Sending prayers your way.

    @rheddmobile I'm so sorry you are going through such a hard time with your lupus flare. That ER sounds dreadful and totally overwhelmed.

    Enjoy the beach and mother-daughter time @skippygirlsmom

    24 Nov. 150.6 out of 150 done. :) 134.3 left to go for 2021 miles. Starting to shift my focus from quantity to quality of the work. I have 880 miles with a less than 10 min pace and 110 with a less than 9 min pace so far this year. But absolutely NOTHING with a less than 8 :( I dunno if I am built to get there but I want to try.

    OH MY GOODNESS @rheddmobile that sounds totally scary and the ER is rediculous! :# interesting about your HR and LUPUS. Have you considered that you might be getting some myocarditus (or something) due to reaction from the booster Covid shot? I know a friend of mine had that and they gave her IBUPROFIN for it. oddly enough. I hope you can get it figured out and be able to wear those NEW UGLY shoes.

    @martaindale wonderful news on finding the loop. I have been running in my neighborhood for so long that I actually know where all the qtrs are so I have been pushing myself to do more tempo runs now the weather is nicer at lunchtime. I briefly had my running coach here in Austin and we did some track work a few times (then he split with his GF here and moved back east again). It was eye opening. I wonder if I might need to actually find a coach to help me get faster or if it's even worth it at my age... hahahaha

    @WhatMeRunning my job is all about supply chain and I can't tell you how stressful it is dealing with customers. I mean they KNOW it's all crazy and lead times are out YEARS vs weeks right now but they stil think that somehow I can pull a miracle and find something without paying 300x the price or ending up with counterfeit items... The hospital stuff is no surprise. I am always shocked at what things stock out at the grocery out of nowhere as well. I know it's all about COVID but honestly I just cant figure why almost 2 years in we are so far behind and getting worse.

    @Teresa502 glad to see you are FEELING better today!!! YEAH!!!!

    @rheddmobile I am so sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well and that the ER visit went so poorly! I’ve had awful ER visits in the past as well, and they are infuriating.

    @skippygirlsmom Congrats on your HM. I hope you and Skip have a great time at the beach.

    @Teresa502 Glass you are feeling better.

    @rheddmobile How awful! I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
