    @katharmonic I'm glad you got your luggage back. Sometimes that is harder than it should be.

    @7lenny7 Yeah for such a good run. We all live for those!

    @noblsheep Hello! Smiling and waving as I run by later today.

    Sounds like a nice run @kgirlhart . I love to watch hummingbirds.

    @shanaber I'm glad that you are getting to work to get your injury better and that you were cleared to walk and run. If you have to injure yourself, it might as well be something unique/unusual. I hope the PT works and you don't have to have surgery.

    @quilteryoyo - I've got a long drive too at .23 of a mile but it's nowhere near as nice as your road with no trees or shelter, its usually the windiest part of the run.

    @7lenny7 I love your plan for this trip! Sounds like the race was a nice coincidence and the trip makes for an interesting way to see a lot of different areas.

    02.4: 3.0km in 25 min
    08.4: 4.2km in 34 min
    11.4: 4.3km in 35 min
    12.4: 5.0km in 40 min (plus few seconds)
    14.4: 3.5km in 30 min
    18.4: 1.1km benchmark run
    19.4: 3.6km in 30 mins, 20 second stride repeats
    21.4: 5.0km in 42 mins, slow run
    24.2: 1.609km in 12 mins
    25.2: 4km in 33 min
    27.2: 5.5km in 46 min

    Finally getting somewhere. I'm still breathing far too fast, e.g. I'm not getting enough air but I finally reached the moment again, after roughly 3km where running becomes easier all of a sudden. Love those 3km moments even though I have no idea what they are. Had aimed for 6km today, but the 3km mark also coincided with a blister former underneath my foot, opposite the arch, so I had to stop. Took shoes off and walked home barefoot as it was less painful.

    @martaindale I'm curious, how was your HR. Did it show you were working harder even if the pace wasn't what you wanted it to be? Some days are just harder. You did great to get the mileage in regardless of whether you met the training goal or not. Hope the intervals go well.

    That sounds like a fun trip @7lenny7 ! Will you be driving through VA and TN? You could stop by and see @Teresa502 and me if you are.

    @yirara Glad the run felt better, but ouch for the blister!

    I played tennis on the outdoor clay courts this morning. The weather was great for it, once it warmed up a little. It was probably around 50 or so. It was 34 when I woke up. When I got home, I went out for a 2 mile walk on the driveway. It was actually a wun, since I threw in just enough running to keep my HR above 120 bpm.

    @7lenny7 I’m in Memphis! My husband and I would love to meet you (and whoever you’re traveling with) for a trail run and some BBQ if you’re up for it.
