    Nice 10 mile run @Scott6255 !

    Looking good @martaindale ! Sounds like you and DH did great and had a good time. How long is tomorrow's race?

    @Mari33a You are doing great. Some months are just hard and we have to do what we can manage.

    Beautiful sunrise @AlphaHowls ! Great running, as always.

    That was a lot of work @polskagirl01 ! I hope the green ones will ripen. You'll have to keep us updated.

    You are doing great @SummerSkier !

    Nov total: 30/117 miles

    11/1: 7.1 miles
    11/3: 3.1 miles - W&D 5k
    11/4: 6.4 miles - W&D 10k
    11/5: 13.4 miles - W&D HM

    Last race morning of this event. I felt a lot better this morning after kind of dragging all day yesterday. I treated this like a supported training run and enjoyed looking at the scenery and all the cool costumes. When I got within the last few miles, I was feeling strong so I slowly increased the pace for a fast finish.
    My costume today was Sorcerer Mickey. I was really happy with how it turned out. My husband isn't the best photographer and I didn't want to hold up a line, so this was the best shot I have of this costume. As course photos come in, I'll see if I can find one that shows it better.

    We grabbed breakfast at the resort afterwards and will hang out in the room for a bit until our lunch reservation then chill a bit more before the party tonight. The after party is always fun and it's so neat to have all the runners together and celebrating at the end of the weekend.

    Congrats @martaindale!! Great job!

    does anyone have any suggestions on legging brands that are comfortable, not too hot, stay in place, and are bump friendly??

    Okay here's what you want to do with leggings when having a bump...nah. I'm a newish member of the thread who is on constant vigil for stray Mansplaining.

    I'm glad you are familiar with all this, and are back giving a go. Good luck with the training plan and I look forward to seeing you around.

    @SummerSkier That's me every time with the car radio! I usually end up waiting about 5 months and then change it :).

    @brittanystebbins95 Planned or no, running at all while pregnant is a feat in my eyes. I know some women can do it and are still quite fast and successful. I hope that is your case! I was so immediately and utterly fatigued after becoming pregnant (3 times) that I swapped working out for napping. Which means, I unfortunately, have no pant suggestions.

    @martaindale It looks like you had a really nice and active running weekend and you had such fun costumes to run in! I hope you enjoyed it! It looked like it would be pretty hard not to!

    Today, I wanted to get a long run in, because I skipped my run yesterday. I decided to go for about 2hrs and got 19.1km done. My weather app told me there would be severe wind, but luckily this was not the case. There were several large gusts but nothing that really held me back or made me anxious during the forest parts. There was a light raining of leaves in the forest and the ground was covered with them.

    @tarun_yadavA @quilteryoyo All this 💩 talk and I was about to have lunch ;).

    So far for November 48.7/200km.

    @tarun_yadavA ok- second breakfast then ;). Lunch is now after 14:15. More acceptable, I hope.

    @Scott6255 Sorry to hear you had some “issues” too! Hope your run goes better tomorrow!

    Welcome back @brittanystebbins95 and congratulations on your pregnancy. I will be no help for you on the leggings though. I am sending lots of positive vibes your way.

    Nice job on the HM and completing the Wine & Dine series @martaindale . You look great. Did hubby do the HM with you? I hope you enjoyed the party last night.

    Thanks @shanaber . I am feeling better, but the tummy still isn't exactly right. Not sure what is going on, but it is better, so I won't complain. You are doing great with your walking and looking forward to a new pair of running shoes in Jan!!! Great way to celebrate being done with all of those treatments.

    You are doing great @AlphaHowls ! With all of the running you have been doing, you may not feel as much fatigue and the "average" person would. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling "joyful". Love the photo.

    @SummerSkier This year has just flown by! You are doing great with your runs. I hope you calf feels better and running isn't making it worse. I'm glad you have restrooms where you can stop when you are running. I do know most of the people who live on my running route, so if I really HAD to, I could knock on the door and use theirs, but would really hate to do that. Love your guide to the clocks. :lol:

    :lol::lol:@tarun_yadavA ! I usually wait until I "go" before heading out too. But there are days when the body just decides it has to go again unexpectedly. :wink: Thanks for throwing me and @SummerSkier under the bus! :wink:

    Nice running @Laurz9191 . Looks like a lovely place for a run. At least we weren't talking about something really disgusting, like 🤢

    Oh no @Scott6255 ! I'm glad you made it back home, but sorry you struggled for the rest of your "run." I know how you felt. I hope you feel better tomorrow.
