I did my normal 1 mile walk after church and before lunch today. It was so nice out - high was 67F (19.4C). Much better than last year when we had a low of 1F (-17.2) and a high of 17F (-8.3C).4 -
Log including my latest update. A blanket thank you to this group for helping me stay motivated.
Sometimes my own doubts, negative voices, health, excuses, etc are the reason why I give up.
Sometimes you have to deal with a people close to you literally telling why you shouldn't work on yourself and calling you a bunch of derogatory things so that you give up. I'm intellectually satisfied because I won the mental battle but I am drained emotionally and still wondering if I did the right thing.
Not necessarily looking to get attention but maybe if you're going through something similar you're not alone and we ought to remember that you can't take of others if you don't take of yourself first. self-care is a great way to show love to those who depend on you.

Good morning everyone!! 😊😊
Merry Christmas ❤️💙❤️💙
I got in 12K this morning (at 09"36 pace).
Ate and drank a bit too much last night.Neighbours Dave and Linda, with me mum and sis
Destroyed this.
Sorry not sorry. 🤣
Had 6 pints of beer too.
(And yes I was bloated and gassy and slept by myself!)
Now a heavy lunch incoming.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all! Last night was Christmas at the wife's side of the family. Beer was consumed.
Later this morning our family Christmas at the daughter and son-in-law's house. And then it is off to run. At
least that is the plan.
I had never heard of Oreo Balls. Maybe New Year's Eve. Sounds great.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas to my fellow runners. Decided to wear my rocket shoes for this chilly bright sunny morning and race my pace on the watch from yesterday. ALtho Apple did not give me a .25 split under 9, fitbit was more generous and gave me mile 2 at 8:59... who ya gonna believe?🤣😳😂🤷♀️🤷♀️
I wish good health for all of you this holiday as best you can!

Yay, 6km without walking Very slow, but I managed. Might have been able to get a bit further, but as the last longest run was 5km I didn't want to overdo things. Perfect weather: not a lot of wind, dry for once, not too much storm.6 -
🎄Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄
We had a different Christmas this year, but it wasn't too bad. We missed the festivities at my Mom's last night, but our daughter came by and left presents and treats on our porch and took our presents over there. Then this morning we had video call with our daughter , who was staying at my mother in law's house, and our son and his girlfriend, who are in Denton. They were supposed to be at her dad's this year, but she had covid this week too, so they stayed home. It was different, but more fun than I expected.
I haven't run since Wednesday and I won't make my goal this month. I did do some yoga every day and got out for a short walk with my dog everyday except Saturday when I felt the worst. I am feeling better today. Not 100%, but not as bad as I was. I may try for a run tomorrow, and if I test negative I will probably go back to work.
@quilteryoyo I am going to have to try those oreoballs. They look yummy.7 -
We had our Christmas at our daughter's house this morning.
Yesterday evening we were at my wife's side of the family Christmas.
It was a pleasant day at the park. It was mid-afternoon when I got there. There were more people there than I expected. And so I guess Christmas is over for another year.

On the bright side, mom is still symptom free, but the separation is taking a toll on her confusion and the isolation is hard on both of us. I still have to sterile/Clorox up to get her eye medication in. We managed to have Christmas on Facebook messenger with my siblings.The gingerbread tree:6 -
Hugs to you @project9percent . I hope things get better for you and you are right, you can't take care of those you love if you don't take care of yourself first.
Great picture of the family and neighbors @tarun_yadavA . Your mom looks great. You are so consistent with your runs, regardless of what you did the night before. I commend you for that.
You're doing great @emptydog .
@SummerSkier Believe FitBit. You did great! Congratulations of the speedy run!
Great running @Teresa502 ! Love the picture.
Fantastic progress @yirara !
@kgirlhart I'm glad that your Christmas was better than expected, even if it was different. I'm also glad that you are feeling some better. The Oreo Balls are easy to make, they just take time.
Nice that you got your exercise in after the Christmas festivities @emptydog .
That's a huge, beautiful tree @AlphaHowls ! Great job on the crazy laps. I hope you feel better soon and that your mom continues to be symptom free.

I had intended to run this morning, but didn't have time. Mom and I had four of our neighbors at her house for lunch today. We had a great visit and, of course, too much food. I wound up doing a wun this afternoon, with the heavy lunch still not totally digested.
I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas!6 -
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I'm back home in Poland. The past few weeks have been a blur, but I think we managed to make Christmas good for the kids 🙂 My husband wanted to make Christmas dinner, so I made my cookies a few days early and got out of his way. Lately it seems like something has been suppressing some of my symptoms, and I'm not sure if it will last, but it's definitely welcome right now. I'm back to my backyard cold water tub, and don't share all of those activities on Strava, but am still doing it daily.
Those of you with Covid and other illnesses, do get well soon, and please be careful with returning to previous activity levels too quickly. If you aren't feeling better or running doesn't feel good, just rest some more, take the vitamins or whatever helps you, stay hydrated... you know the drill 😉8 -
Wine last night, mimosas this morning, 2 cups of coffee made for another 10K PR today (3rd one in 4 weeks) 😊
Great running this Christmas everyone!9 -
Hi everyone. Got in 7 this morning (at 09"44 pace).
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! 😊
Really struggling. 5 consecutive days of eating/drinking.
Got to my in-laws last night and my brother in law was "Beer?" (And it's like my stomach cried on the inside). Spotted wife's cousin drinking Jameson - so went with that instead.
@quilteryoyo - thank you! ❤️ I hope you and your mother/family had a great one!
@scott6255 - 🥂 love it, Sir! 🙌
Next you will be labelling your Strava runs as "hungover 10K" etc etc, like a certain someone here. Haha
@SummerSkier - awesome running with the new shoes!
@polskagirl01 - merry Christmas. Bet you're glad to be back with hub and kids! 😊
Have an enforced off-day tomorrow, as early start on the road , and then stuff to do.8 -

That’s my friend in the forefront with the glam eyes! I don’t know how she does it, but this woman runs with full make-up, hair done, every…single…day! I simply don’t care enough to put that kind of work in plus I sweat a lot and mascara and make-up in the eyes is painful. I’m definitely anti-pain!7 -

Oh that's funny. I am totally with you on the how does she do it thing! I started getting my lashes 'done' about 8 or 9 years ago and it's SO freeing not to worry about eye makeup anymore.3 -
I got in a pleasant 2 miles this morning. It looks like I will get to my goal for this month. Hopefully. Only one other guy was there who walks most mornings.
The thought came to me this morning that to commemorate New Year's Day, I would run at the park and start at the stroke of 12 midnight, sharp. A kind of start the new year right type of thing. There are streetlights for about a mile and I could go out and back like I did this morning. When I finish, I will bring a bottle of non-alcoholic beer and toast the new year.
I will invite my running friend P to come along as well. I haven't mentioned this to my wife yet. But she is pretty good about these things.
