    Great accomplishment @martaindale on completing that tough Dopey Challenge! You are amazing!

    I got in a pretty nice 8 miles this afternoon.

    Forgot to post on the weekend, but Saturday I finished week three of the 5k running program. We've been very lucky here in Alberta with a mild start to January and it was only about -7 C when I went out.

    Runs are starting to get longer now and my pace is improving slightly, we'll see how it is on some of these longer runs this week.

    @shanaber About your e-scooter, etc. rant. I also have to agree. Here in Germany it is more of a problem with people leaving/dragging the e-scooters that you rent and leaving them on the middle of the biking, jogging path. As a jogger, this is not so much of an issue, but it is very annoying when I am biking with the kids with the trailer and have to stop, get off the bike and move the scooter to the side, so that I can continue on my way. Also, my friend's 3 year old daughter lost the top half of 2 fingers! due to a faulty design on one of the rentable e-scooters here- so they will always be my enemy.
    Ugggh, we have the same problem. If you try to move them out of the middle of the bike path, sidewalk, wherever people were when they randomly decided they were done with them, they start alarming. Rented bikes have to go back into the racks; I don't get why they don't have designated return spots for these, too.

    @tarun_yadavA I'm pretty sure there are more pros than cons to having a doctor in the family. I hope you are feeling well enough tomorrow to do a short run.

    @quilteryoyo thanks for the encouragement.

    Yesterday was an easy pace "recovery run'. Only 15 minutes, but proud to say I didn't need to stop to jog and actually felt I could go longer. Building up to some of the longer runs that I know are coming in the next few weeks.

    No run today, but I will try to go for a walk at lunch. Or sometime during the day. My computer needs some updates and our IT guy says it will take about 30 minutes, so maybe I'll pop out the office then if they don't need me around.

    Congrats on the 15 minute run @JennieMaeK . Building slowly is the way to go!

    @shanaber (and anyone else in CA) wondering how you are doing with the terrible storms? Hope you are OK!

    @tarun_yadavA hope you feel better soon. A doctor in the family sounds super useful!
    @quilteryoyo wow, I can't believe it's 2 years already. Time flies! When will you hear about the results of your monitor? Or did I miss that? Speed reading atm, busy week.
    @martaindale looking forward to reading your report, what an amazing feat! I can understand it feeling nice to not have to train now.

    Hey nice to see you back @Tramboman

    10 miles this evening. Wow 82°F for this run! That's pretty rough. But have to get in some longer runs during the week because going to Austin this weekend and probably won't be able to do much (or any) running.
