    @ContraryMaryMary it's great having you back! Nice cake, too. What type of frosting is that?

    @kgirlhart so sorry about your uncle. I hope you'll stay healthy & be able to go to the funeral.

    @shanaber poor Hobbes, I hope he's feeling better.

    My plan has the option for either cross training or a rest day today, and I think I'm going to take the rest day.

    Nice running everyone.

    @shanaber I am surprised I haven't had real issues before either and also surprised that it wasn't found sooner. I mean, don't they see your spine when doing chest x-rays or something? Anyway, having said that, I have been sitting on a heating pad at night for a couple of years, but thought it was just old age making my back feel tight at night. I never dreamed it was scoliosis or something that needed to be addressed. Where is @Avidkeo ? She hasn't been on here lately, has she?

    @Faebert Thanks. Mom and I are okay. Fortunately, we both had a fairly mild case of CoVID. It was probably Omicron, as it doesn't seem to be as serious in most cases. I got out and got a very much needed haircut yesterday. The x-ray was of my back, showing my scoliosis. So, nothing new. You are doing great getting in your runs. I hope you feel better by the weekend and can get in a longer run.

    @ContraryMaryMary Happy birthday to your youngest. Love the cake. That is so cute! I'm glad the massage was so helpful, but I'm not sure I would be willing to sit through an hour of torture. I'm such a wimp sometimes.

    @kgirlhart Yeah for meeting your goal. You have my sympathies on the death of your uncle and your exposure to CoVID. I hope you avoid it and are able to go to the funeral. One of the things I said when I had it last week was that I hate that any symptom you have can be a symptom of CoVID. Had it been 2 years ago, I wouldn't have thought anything about my symptoms and would have just gone on with my daily life - mostly had a fever for one day and felt tired, but I would have written that off to being lazy or not sleeping well. It's a strange time we are living in. Anyway, like I said, I hope you don't have it.

    Welcome back @BeverlyW1108 . Glad you are feeling better.

    For the ladies, one of my favorite running bras is the Handful Y-back. I just purchased a second one. I received a coupon to share with "a friend," so don't know if it will work for more than one person or not. Anyway, if you are looking for a new bra and would like to try them out, here is a 15% off coupon. https://loox.io/z/NkPXlhias

    Well I am not keeping up well with the thread dangit but I am remembering to list my runs in challenge hound. I love the way the scale on the graph has to change because of one person (I will not name but whose ribs I hope are feeling better)

    I am at 106 miles for the month and expect I may make the 120 total I listed.

    Still waiting for our dictionary to be listed in next months opener for the challenge... ;)

    Best way to make that happen is to be the mother of the February 2022 Monthly Running Challenge.

    @quilteryoyo that is a heck of an xray
    @ContraryMaryMary welcome back, sorry the ankle isn't happy
    @AlphaHowls hope the rib/muscle is better soon. I an attest to how awful ribs are, broke 4 a few years back. Getting in and out of bed was horrible.
    @Shanaber sorry to hear about poor Hobbs.

    @ContraryMaryMary Your cake is adorable!

    @kgirlhart Condolences. I hope you get to go to the funeral.

    @SummerSkier She looks pretty dragony to me!

    @quilteryoyo don't stress about your lack of wanting to do anything today. It's a place I find myself in often. I found out the world doesn't actually stop during that time. So just let it run it's course and pick up again tomorrow.

    Just did a sleasy 6 miles on the treadmill this evening.

    Thanks @shanaber, @faebert, @scott6255, @tramboman, @polskagirl01. @quilteryoyo, and @martaindale. So far I am feeling good and hopeful that I won't get sick and that I will be able to attend the funeral.

    Today I got out and ran 5 miles. It was still cold, but not as cold as yesterday. It was an uneventful run, but I felt good and enjoyed it.

    @kgirlhart I'm glad to hear you are still feeling good. Nice run.

    1/28 – 5.12 miles
    January Total – 99.54 miles

    I ran 5.04 miles at lunch yesterday. I was hoping to get another run in after work but other obligations presented themselves. I got out early this morning for another 5.12 miles and I think our word “slugly” best described today’s run. I didn’t quit though so there is that. If the precipitation holds off, I plan on channeling my inner @SummerSkier and doing another run at lunch. It’s supposed to snow this afternoon and be really cold tomorrow.

    @kgirlhart – I’m glad you are still feeling healthy and I’m sorry for the loss of your uncle.
    @SummerSkier - Your Hai Hai reminds me of my Millie Mollie.

    She fell asleep on my legs while watching a bird video.
    @Shanaber – So scary about Hobbes getting poisoned. I hope he is back to himself.
    Beautiful cake porn @ContraryMaryMary. Happy Birthday to your little one!
    Way to meet and exceed your pace @martaindale! Never heard of RunSmart. I have some strength training workouts on a dvd from Runners World led by Dr. Jordan Metzel, a sports medicine physician in NYC. He is a runner and triathlete. Pretty tough workouts that are designed to strengthen muscles that runners use.
    @quilteryoyo – We all need those nothing days every now and then. Don’t forget you’re still recovering from that virus.

    I made it back out for my second run of the day for an additional 3.11 miles. So glad I got to run in Jastrzębie-Zdrój! And thanks for the hot chocolate @polskagirl01! It was just starting to flurry snow out there and the wind was cold!

    Welcome back into the group @BeverlyW1108!

    Your kitties are adorable @SummerSkier and @Teresa502! Did you all see there is now a 1st cat in the White House?

    @martaindale - I have not heard of RunSmart but if it looks like workouts that are reasonable and it isn't too expensive it could be worth a try.

    Thanks @polskagirl01 - that hot chocolate was delicious! Love the great info about the town!

    Hope everyone in the eastern US is ready for even more cold and snowy weather. It looks like it is going to be really something over the weekend!

    Thanks for all the good thoughts on Hobbes the Vizsla. He is feeling better and back to his normal goofy self. He does not like it, however, that I am not allowing him to sniff and investigate as much now and if we stop for any reason he has to get up on a bench or wall where there is nothing to tempt him!
    I had planned to get back out this morning with him but we are back in Santa Ana wind mode and he is all snuggled up under a blanket snoring. So I am not going to try braving getting blown around in the wind while trying to run... I only need 11 miles to hit the 100 mile club and that should be doable with 3 days to go.
