14.00/85.00 mile goal
I did sleep some better last night and I feel a lot better today. But, I was still tired so did a 2 mile walk between church and lunch. I do hope to get in a run tomorrow.8 -
January Goal: 125 miles
1/1: 3.26 miles
1/2: 6.02 miles
1/3: 6.26 miles
1/4: 6.10 miles
1/7: 10.02 miles
31.66/125 miles
I ran 10 miles this morning. It was 33°F when I started out, and 53°F at the end. It is always so hard to know how to dress for long runs at this time of year. It was a pretty good run. I saw a guy at the cemetery with 3 big dogs. I have seen him there before. Before I have only seen them from the distance, but today I saw them when I came around the corner. The dogs came towards me, but he called to them and they went right back to him. He was very apologetic and as he got closer I realized that it was someone that I know. So at least if I see them again I won't be too worried.

Lots of good running to start the year off everyone!Nice run @martaindale! What race will you be running and when?
I am doing the Louisiana HM in Baton Rouge this coming Sunday. This is my official HM PR attempt for this season and my Louisiana race towards my 50 states count.
@iryne29 Your nerves around reinjury are totally understandable. This group will be happy to cheer you on as you build back up.
Great job on the HM PR @Scott6255!5 -
Morning all
Got in 6.66 (at 10"27 pace).
@SummerSkier @quilteryoyo glad I made you ladies laugh.
PS: no 777 today; but went 666 lol
@shanaber @daria0919
Ran over Tower bridge this morning, before 9 (on a Monday). Vehicle traffic, but very few tourists. Sprinkling of (guessing / stereotyping) Germans and Japanese tourists. Super efficient, first in Line types
@elizury nice to meet you!
Not an American football 🏈 fan at all... Gets lost in translation over the pond... But... Guessing:
Not a good morning to say 'Go Pack Go' huh? Sorry. Lol.6 -
@martaindale I didn’t know you were planning to race in all 50 states. I just figured you liked travelling to your running locations . That’s really cool! Enjoy your week of the taper!
@AlphaHowls I really liked your spoilers too! Especially the second one ! So true!
@Scott6255 Great job with the PR. I would totally listen to Garmin over Strava .
@SummerSkier Great job getting some distance in. Is it too late to join your RTY group? If not, I would like to .
I admittedly had a lazy weekend, but I did have an awesomely hard interval workout on the treadmill this morning to make up for it. The weather suddenly shifted from rainmaggadon to artic winter , so I opted for the gym, because I thought it would put less stress on my respiratory system. I did 3x8min intervals at 10k race pace, with a two min recovery between them. It was hard, but I got it done- all while listening to my racing playlist which has songs with a faster beat (step count). Then I went to the doctor’s to get a tick vaccination. One of my kids is sick, so hopefully she will get better soon and I will still be able to get some longish runs in this week. I completed 9.1km.
So far for January 35.6/200km.

@SummerSkier haha!
RTY thing - is this the one where you gotta pay something?0 -
Hi all,
What is a RTY and how do you see pictures?
Didn’t have time this morning for full 3 miles so did half this morning dnd will do other half later. Not ideal but get it when I can7 -
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. 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!4 -
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.2

Probably the best run in ages. I love this cold, dry weather even though palms of my hands and my lips froze. Poor start though: For once I wore my winter running clothes, including winter leggings that are a tighter than my usual running pants. Together with compressive socks that I wear to prevent blood pooling. That was too much compression and the first 3km my lower legs just hurt. And then all went very, very well and was fun.9 -

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.3 -

17.00/85.00 mile goal
I slept some better last night, but was still restless. Then, before breakfast, my tummy decided to act up again. So, I took it easy today. I had hoped to run 3 miles, but wound up walking the entire distance to commemorate 3 years of life since my open heart surgery.

Morning all.
Got in a 5k (09"26 pace). Office today!
Have a great day everyone 😊8 -
Still ecstatic from last nights run and tonight might be the coldest night of this year. So I want to run again. My running plan asks for 15 minute warmup, 3x3min fast intervals, then a series of short intervals and again a cooldown. Might be a bit too much after yesterday but I still want to go out and pull tomorrow's plan ahead.9
-
Hi everyone! I didn’t have much time today- not enough time to put on enough layers to brave the freezing outdoor temperatures like @yirara , so I got a quick 6km recovery run in at the gym. I’m hoping for a longer run outside tomorrow.
So far 41.6/200km for January.5 -
