Hi from Atlanta. Just a short 3 TM shake out run after lunch. Not sure if I will race tomorrow or just stay with the family. Run day decision I guess.

I ran 2.25 miles today. I took the day off work, so I didn't get out until after nine. It was 66°F which was OK, but it has definitely warmed up today. But it was nice to be able to sleep in and run when the sun was out.

Short pre-work run yesterday. I always forget to post these because it's such a busy morning then I get busy at work. Uneventful run with temps about 60. Loving these temps.
Yesterday after work I cleaned out what was left of the tomatoes in my garden and planted some fall produce. Lettuces, carrots, snow peas, kale. I don't plant a lot of any one particular thing but it's nice to get a little bit of my own fresh produce from the garden. I haven't done carrots or snow peas here before so we'll see how those go. I also threw in one more tomato plant since I found a variety that's supposed to keep producing into the cool temps and we won't get truly cold temperatures for another couple of months.
Then, for dinner last night my husband and I went to a souffle restaurant. We had this tomato carrot bisque with little goat cheese "marshmallows" nestled on top then a savory souffle that was sun-dried tomato and pesto. Then we shared a bananas foster souffle for dessert. It was delicious and light and I would love to go back.8 -
Looking forward to new PBs from our racers this morning!! 🎉🎉🎉
I got my annual bloodwork yesterday and no matter how "clean" I eat sadly my total cholesterol is always over 200. It's not in the dangerous range just the borderline high. It did drop 3 points from last year. 🙃🤣 I hope my Dr doesn't want to start Statins. I do think this is genetic to some extent but who knows. 🤷♀️
It was a nice cool morning yesterday and my run was a little later due to fasting bloodwork but I managed to get 8 plus in. Then my friend wanted to play tennis in the afternoon also (who can say no?) AND it was a weighlifting day. I ended up with 4x my move goal and 30K steps for the day but did not take any anti inflams ... It was 94 for a record high but the humidity was only 20% so it did not feel quite so bad on the shaded tennis court.
Up to 126 out of 100 for the month but still actually enjoying longer runs.

@kgirlhart Nice, uneventful runs are the best.
@tarun_yadavA Enjoy your time with the family. Farm eggs are the best. There really is a big difference between the ones you get from small farmers that let them roam and those you buy in the store. And free is always good.
Nice running @Laurz9191 .
You are doing great @daria0919 .
Welcome @SamIAmOH ! This is a great group to keep you motivated.
Good luck on your races @Scott6255 and @AlphaHowls ! Love the waffle shirt.
@martaindale Nice running. I hope your fall garden does well. Glad you enjoyed the restaurant.
Wow @SummerSkier ! That's a lot of exercise for one day. I'm glad you are enjoying the longer runs. You have 94F and my friend and I put off tennis today until noon because it was just a bit too cool this morning. LOL I think our high is predicted to be 66F today. How is the ratio between LDL and HDL? My total number is 241, but my doctor isn't concerned because my HDL is 106 and LDL is 115 (within normal range).

Peachtree Classic 15K
Weather was a perfect 50°F and 5mph wind. Told myself if the 1st mile is 8:30 pace or under I would try and race it, otherwise I would just take it easy. First mile clocked in exactly at 8:30. So I guess we're doing this... my brother stuck with me the whole time. With all the hills I started struggling at about 5 miles. I thought Mike would just start pulling away, but I somehow found a way to keep up with him. After that second mile we kept a 7:40 pace or faster. Just before the 9 miles mark I decided to just go for it. There were two huge hills at the finish which were pure evil. Ended up with a 7:43 pace 1:12:45 finish time.
42 of 348 overall.
4th of 21 Age group (there are a LOT of fast old guys here).
Overall I'm happy with my performance, but a little bummed not placing.
Tomorrow's 10 mile race is going to just be a slow sightseeing tour I think 😁 11 -
Yay, finally!!!!!

21.10 Sat 14°C 3.5km 30min 8:36/km
13.39km/80.5km
Basically, previous run I managed to run 1.72km without walking. This time I slowed down a lot, and was suddenly at 2km, and hence the idea was born to double it. Ran the whole 3.5km. Have to say though that the last 600m or so weren't too easy and my HR was high even for me (189). I'm slowly getting my running mojo back.
