Yes, thank you for the tour @polskagirl01! That will be the only way I get to Poland.4

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!3

Hi everyone. @polskagirl messaged me and I realised I missed you all (thanks for the message!)
I took a few months off mostly because I lost my passion for running. I was still running but kinda rudderless.
January I've done a run streak, well almost finished and I'm finding my joy again. Only a couple of days left this month and I'll have run every day.
Nothing new with me, just work, kids etc.
Hope everyone is healthy and doing well. I'll start joining in again because I really have missed you all. And think about you all often.10 -
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.4 -
@quilteryoyo I went back and saw your xrays! Wow that's crazy. You've probably had it your whole life. Pretty pics.
You guys definitely know how to get my attention lol4 -

YAY @Avidkeo I missed you.1

@polskagirl01 Thanks for the tour and the hot chocolate! It would be much needed after running in the freezing temps and ice there.
Hi @Avidkeo. We missed you too!1 -

Sunny and calm this morning. My phone weather app said it was -10 F; my home weather station said it was 2 F, so it was cold. Saw not one other living thing, but heard two robins, two cardinals, and a red tailed hawk.
Good to see you back, @Avidkeo !!!5 -
@Teresa502 Great running. Good job on getting it done when it was tough to be out there. Did you get much snow? We didn't even have a dusting, but it is really cold today. At least the sun is shinning. I love that your cat fell asleep watching a bird video. Too cute. I had another "nothing day" yesterday. I did try in vain to fix mom's oven again. That took a lot of time, so I think I was just done when I finally decided to give up. I did get a treadmill walk in.
Nice running @polskagirl01 and thanks for the tour and the hot chocolate!
@Avidkeo So glad to see you back and that you have found your joy in running again!
@shanaber I hope the Santa Ana winds die down soon. I hate to try to run in the wind, mostly because I'm afraid it will blow tree limbs down on my head.
@Avidkeo I'm so glad you are back with us. Yes, I probably have had it all my life. I'm just wondering why no one ever saw it before. Had I known sooner, maybe I could have kept it from progressing as far as it has.

6 speedy but cold miles today. Funny how sometimes 50s can feel colder than 30's. It was 30's today but actually quite nice with very little wind or humidity and bright sunshine. We are due for an ice storm late next week so ramping up a little. 118 miles out of 120 planned for the month so on schedule.
@quilteryoyo a friend of mine had her teenager recently diagnosed with scoliosis pretty severe as well. I don't know if it sneaks up on you and the curvature worsens over time or what. I am also pretty amazed your previous chiro did not notice it. You may have only had it a little bit all your life and it decided to get worse due to perhaps osteopena or bone loss. I know that our bones do shift as we age and sometimes I swear I can feel it. Like my face structure has changed and I know when it was cold and I was running it felt like bone pain. That is now what I feel in my hips in the cold so I wonder what joys age will bring me now. When I was a child in grade school they used to do posture exams to check for our hips, shoulders and spine being correct. They warned us not to sit with our legs crossed. I think perhaps it is something a dr should do as part of an annual wellness exam but I rarely see that. Because of that training at a young age I am always evaluating people I see for levelness. I was lucky in that when I broke my femur spiral fracture the dr got my rod in and set it at exactly the right length. Of course that foot no longer toes out like the other one but how would he know?
It's good to see how active this thread is. One of the few I can follow anymore because just sort of browsing the various groups is no longer fun or easy since the community changes were made.5 -
@ContraryMaryMary - beautiful cake!
@kgirlhart - hope you don’t have Covid. Sorry for the loss of your uncle.
@martaindale - Great job on your run!
@shanaber - I hope Hobbes is feeling better!
Thanks for the hot chocolate @polskagirl01!
Nice to see you @Avidkeo!
I’ve been a little busier with work and spending time with hubby this week now that he’s home, but I have still managed to run every day, even if it was short. My goal is to run 10K tomorrow and then do a short run on Monday to finish my goal of 75 miles.
I also signed up for the 15K I mentioned, so that will be in two weeks. It starts/ends about two miles from my house, so I won’t have to get up crazy early to drive anywhere, which is nice.8 -
Slept in today, ran around back roads for about 7 km, did my weight machine routine and then made chocolate cheesecake bars for church tomorrow. I hope they turned out ok because I didn't measure anything 🤭
Now I'm fighting with my computer.6 -
Catching up after a couple of days. All a bit hectic - my younger daughter has just been diagnosed with Covid. She’s fine, not too bad. Just lots of juggling with getting tests and sorting childcare. Have carried on with little treadmill runs - I want to see out this RED January, no matter what!
Good to see you @Avidkeo, brrr to -10F @Tramboman. Awesome consistency @marisap2010. @polska_girl chocolate cheesecake bars sound delicious!
Happy running everyone.

No run for me today but I did walk 3.12 on the treadmill, then did a weight workout (lower body day), and then another 3.10 on the treadmill.
We had about 3 inches of snow overnight @quilteryoyo. The temps though. It's sunny and 21F now but the real feel is 12F. I don't know how you get out there in the cold @tramboman.
I hope your daughter's symptoms don't get worse @Faebert.
Good to see you @Avidkeo! You know you always have a home here!2 -
11 miles this morning. Had thoughts of a HM today since the weather was so perfect, but by mile 6 I knew I was in trouble when I had to take a walk break. It was downhill from there. Stopped after 11. Was going pretty slow, but stomach just felt queazy after 6. Not sure what was going on today.
Maybe one more run outside on Monday to close the month, then we are supposed to get snow!

Am still here lol. Have gne camping with the family and no cellphone cover. Just ducked into town for supplies.
Here's some pics. And I went for a 3k run this morning as well!4
