    Had a fantastic run yesterday in the snow. It was beautiful. My hounddog, Alfie, loved it too. Went 4 miles. Good first week,22 miles. Goal is to run or walk 3 a day for a year. @quilteryoyo I am not near that area. Closer to the Wisconsin border. Question for anyone running/walking in the snow and ice- what shoes do you recommend??

    If @PastorVincent were with us, he would probably tell you to make your own screw shoes (you can google that)

    Thanks @daria0919 . Sorry you had to cut your run short due to feeling weak. I hope you are okay and not getting sick.

    Thanks @shanaber . I think part of not sleeping well was that I was getting sick and I think not feeling well has made my sleeping stress high and making me restless. I am feeling better today, so hoping that I will sleep better tonight. You are doing great and I hope that once you get the last chemo done you will start to feel better.

    @chris_in_cal Enjoy your two weeks off work and hopefully you can get in some good runs.

    @juliet3455 I hope you enjoy the 5K. When is the race? If you said that already, I have forgotten. That's my old body/brain. :lol:

    @tarun_yadavA Nice run and glad to see that your son joined you for a couple of miles. I hope he gets into track and enjoys it. Look what a good influence you are to your sons! Hahaha about your running with @SummerSkier and what happened when your older son got, well, older and faster.

    Welcome @iryne29 I'm glad you ankle has healed. I understand the fear. I broke my elbow and it was years after it healed before I got the courage to try tennis again. Start slow and just listen to your body. I think you will be fine.

    @SummerSkier Great run and very ambitious when tennis was scheduled later in the day. Looks like you did great with the tennis too.

    Great run @yirara . Speed intervals are hard, but fun.

    Great running @AlphaHowls . Love the funny and the points to ponder.

    Great run @elizury . Love that you run with Alfie.

    Nice job on the crazy laps @emptydog.

    @Laurz9191 never too late to join the team! Just send the request to team name from page 1 and you are in! We hit 300 miles as a team yesterday so I think we are going to have an amazing year! 🌟🌟🌟
    Is it too late to join your RTY group? If not, I would like to :).

    @tarun_yadavA 666!!! you are a nut for #s but we wont go back there. Interesting on a Monday so little traffic... Great photos tho.

    @SummerSkier haha!
    RTY thing - is this the one where you gotta pay something?

    Great run yesterday @kgirlhart . I'm glad that you knew the guy with the dogs and that they are well trained. That will give you some peace of mind in the future.

    @tarun_yadavA If it were me, I would have preferred the 777 over 666. LOL Love the pictures! I'm not @SummerSkier , but yes, that is the one that you have to pay something for. I just do the basic one...$25 US I think.

    @Laurz9191 Great job on the intervals. I hope your kid gets well soon and you don't get it. What is a "tick" vaccine?

    @elizury RTY is run the year. It is a tracker app where you put in your miles and try to run the year in miles/kms. (2024 in this case). As for Seeing pictures, are you asking how to see pictures that someone posts here? If so, you click on the little tab in their post that says "spoiler." The picture, or whatever they have written, will magically appear. :wink: Great job on doing what you can when you can. Breaking it up into two parts is much better than no doing it at all.

    @quilteryoyo Our ticks over here sometimes carry the TBE virus (not Lyme but still not good). As I spend a lot of time in the forest and outdoors, I decided to do get the 3 shot vaccination. Today was my last shot.

    @elizury Agree, better to break up/shorten a run than not even go out the door!

    RTY is indeed something which requires a payment but when I compared it to some other websites like Run America it was not really that pricey. Just Google Run the Edge and you can check it out.

    Glad you had such a great run @yirara .

    Way to get it done @daria0919 .

    @Laurz9191 Our ticks carry some nasty diseases too. I have never heard of a vaccine for them though. It would be nice if we could take something that would keep the little buggers from getting on us in the first place.
