I had a great run today. The weather was perfect, and I felt great the whole run. The only dogs I saw were on leashes except one and I could tell by the way he walked he was pretty old and not a threat. I also saw his owner sitting on his porch and he wVed. I think he went to school with my daughter.
I saw this little old Cambodian man I sometimes see near the park. He lives across the street from one of the soccer fields. He looks like he is 100 years old and he walks around the block the soccer field is on with his walker. He stops when I pass and smiles really big and waves. I always say good morning, but he doesn't speak English. It always makes me happy to see him.
The sun was shining but it was 66°F when I started out so it wasn't hot and it was really nice out. I felt like I could run forever. When I got home I had run 13.5 miles but I needed to use the restroom so I stopped. But then that half mile was really bugging me so I went back out and ran a half mile to bring my run to 14 miles. I guess I have a bit of runner's OCD. Or maybe I am just a little crazy. 🤪 🏃♀️
So sorry about the cake and the pan @polskagirl01.
Congratulations @laurz9191! I love the medal!

After my run on Thursday evening I told myself I'd not run for a week as my little toe is very sore and I can feel something clicking at the base next to other toe. But I'm getting restless now. I have been going on my spinbike but miss not getting outside.8 -

@chris_in_cal I hope you feel like running tomorrow.
@martaindale I need to look into them. All of mine are from Dona Jo.
Great run @kgirlhart . I think we all have a little bit of "crazy" in us.
Great run @tarun_yadavA ! I thought you had already celebrated your birthday. I hope you enjoyed celebrating with your friend.
@Mari33a I hope your toe gets to feeling better soon. It is best to listen to your body when it is trying to tell you something.
Welcome @jonperelstein ! I do a combination of fast walking and running. Feel free to jump into the conversation, ask questions, fill us in on your journey so far, etc. We love to hear those things. This group is great!

Nice running @kgirlhart.
@Mari33a hope the little toe starts feeling better soon before you go stir crazy!
6.1 miles this morning. The very nice weather was negated by very bad GI issues for the last 3 miles, followed by a shattered phone screen while hastily removing running belt due to said GI issues 😫
8 -
@jonperelstein Welcome!!
@Scott6255 Breaking your phone while dealing with GI issues is adding insult to injury. Hope both are remedied soon.2 -

Temps that start with a 6!!! Woohoo! We have 2 days with a tiny temp drop, but it makes such a big difference. I actually wore a shirt and didn't overheat. Love that.
I went to Pilates yesterday so am a tiny bit sore today, but not bad. And my calf is feeling better after some tlc. I need to make sure to foam roll more. That seemed to make the biggest difference.8 -
Congratulations @Laurz9191! Great accomplishment!
Unfortunately, I caught my kids' yucky cold. Fortunately(?), it seems to be blocking my LC symptoms, which is weird but welcome, even if the current science suggests it will likely only be a temporary relief.9 -

I'm on day 7. I don' know how you parents deal with snot-nosed darling little germ monsters running around.
Get well soon.
There was an interesting piece in the Washington Post yesterday about fatigue-based illnesses "She wrote to a scientist about her fatigue. It inspired a breakthrough." Take a look around, or send me a message and I'll dig up the link3 -
Oh boy, I went away for the weekend and am way behind again.
@Laurz9191 well done!
Welcome new people :-)
My weekend was to check out the first half of my big race in November. It was. Interesting. We ended up missing a few turns and adding 2km on. The infamous 'Captain' ascent is nasty. I knew there was almost 3km at an average of 22% incline, I didn't know it includes a couple of even steeper stretches and the ground is loose dirt and stones. I had to crawl up a couple of short stretches and have no idea how I will tackle it in the dark. There's also a short, very unpleasant part on the way down. Oh, and lots of slippery singletrack along sides of mountains with steep drops down into the valley on one side. I was hoping to manage the 42km section in 8 hours but that's not looking likely, will be more than happy with 9! For those who aren't familiar with my crazy antics, we're talking mountain trails here.
I said at one point towards the end that as we were there I'd like to just carry on and do the whole route to see how long it took us, but it was nearing 2pm, it was hot and we were almost out of water so decided no. We wanted to go back the next morning and do the second half, but then there were storm warnings and everyone was tired, so it didn't happen. I just have to hope the second half is easier.
I also keep forgetting I have a 25km B race on 7 October... should probably start thinking about that 😅9 -

The weather this morning was just about perfect. It was 64°F with a dew point of 57°. The sky was clear and the stars were bright. It was really a lovely morning. I ran 3.25 miles. I would have liked to run further, but I was just planning a short run for the streak and figured after 14 miles yesterday, I should probably take it easy today. 8 -

@Scott6255 That sucks! Sounds like a tough day yesterday! I hope today is better!
@tarun_yadavA They only had fruit at the finish line. I really wasn’t feeling up for any sugar after all the gels, but had a couple of apple slices and some water (so healthy, right). Then we had a bbq - so lots of protein and some bread and aioli (yum).
I’m feeling quite good but I know my legs are still tired, so I’m just trying to enjoy not running for one more day. Then I’ll ease slowly back into it. As much as I wanted to quit during the marathon, I haven’t been able to get the idea of running another one out of my head since crossing the finish line
… I’m thinking April in Hanover … My body/schedule seems to do better with training over the winter than over the summer. 9 -
8 miles this morning. Temps back close to 80F again this morning. That cool weather lasted all of 2 days! 6

Don't be in a hurry to run, your body needs plenty of time to recover. My coach doesn't let us run AT ALL for 10 days after a big race!5 -
I hope you're over your cold soon, too. I'm only on Day 2, and the excitement over lessened LC symptoms has been replaced with the nastiness of the cold making me miserable. Kids have been home sick as well, but one should be ready to go back to school tomorrow, and the other maybe another day or so. They're young teenagers and are getting more independent, so I went through the deep-freezer yesterday and was able to heat up a bunch of Ukrainian & Polish comfort food, told them and husband where to find it, and went back to bed. Then last night, because someone likes to buy things we already have, I pulled this out of the freezer (there were at least 2 more not pictured)chris_in_cal wrote: »polskagirl01 wrote: »I caught my kids' yucky cold.

There was an interesting piece in the Washington Post yesterday about fatigue-based illnesses "She wrote to a scientist about her fatigue. It inspired a breakthrough." Take a look around, or send me a message and I'll dig up the linkdetermined which ones were already opened, and declared a party. So I guess that's one way to handle the snot noses!
No wonder there was no room for anything in there.
I saw that article in one of the groups I follow. There have been some interesting things coming out lately in the research. Hopefully we're a few steps closer to real practical answers.
@Scott6255 so sorry about your phone.7 -
Trying to catch up after weekend off and too hungover Sunday to run 🙈😅
