    No running today. It's storming again. Like crazy. And I just realized I should have parked my car in the yard and not on the street underneath a tree. Though.. give the state of the roof here the street might be the better choice.

    Wow, I'm so far behind it's crazy. Tried to speed read but so tired most isn't registering. Having said that, @quilteryoyo so sorry to hear about Gary.

    I ran my Backyard ultra on Saturday. It wasn't my day but I learned a lot and decided to stop at 7 loops rather than risk wearing myself out or ending up injured. Pro-tip everyone probably knows but I forgot... don't eat a tonne of roast veggies and chickpeas the day before a race. My watch claims I did 51km but it was really only 47 - 150 people inside a sports hall once an hour upset all our watches.
    We still won a prize though, so that was cool.

    Great job being smart and stopping when you needed to! That's still a whole lotta km 😉

    @Laurz9191 That sounds like a tough run. I'm sure that wind added to your workout and made you stronger - sort of like running hills.

    Thanks @eleanorhawkins . It looks like you made sound decisions. You don't want to be injured for sure. Glad you won a prize. :smile:

    Thanks @Mari33a .

    Nice running @Teresa502 . It was very nice weather today.

    I hope you don't get any damage from the storms @yirara . It's hard to know where "safe" is when you have bad weather.

    Glad you and the kids got the list completed today @polskagirl01 . And you weren't totally worn out. That is the BEST news.

    @AlphaHowls :lol::lol:

    Yeah for being completely recovered @ContraryMaryMary ! Glad you had a beautiful day for a run.

    Another great run @tarun_yadavA . How long are you planning to keep the streak going?

    I had a dermatology appointment where they froze off a little bitty spot on my nose, not cancer.
    I wasn't so lucky, last week pathology identified a basal cell on my shoulder, I am going in to get it excised and stitched up on Wednesday.

    Hope it goes smoothly and effectively!

    @Scott6255 Pretty shoes! I’ve wanted to try the pumas but haven’t found time to go try them on and see if i even like them. I like the styling a lot.

    @PrestonHaywood I also have a Garmin watch. If you’re not quite ready to take that plunge, almost any smart watch has basic tracking functionality. Or you could try an app like strava, which I have my watch linked to as a central storage location. It has internal functionality to track a run as a part of the free functions.

    @eleanorhawkins Awesome work! Lesson learned about the veggies. I’m kind of surprised it bothered you. You seem to have an iron stomach!

    @polskagirl01 I have heard that macarons are technically a bit of a challenge. I've never been brave enough to make them. Some of your pink ones don't look too bad!

    @chris_in_cal I hope your "surgery" goes well tomorrow. It's good that they can find those early and get rid of it before it becomes a huge problem.

    Sounds like a really nice couple of runs @kgirlhart !

    @tarun_yadavA Great running and you are doing great with the streak. Over half way there. I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking. The funeral is tomorrow.

    @polskagirl01 Sounds like you are up and about a bit more than you were. I hope that means things are looking up a bit anyway. I'm sure the macaroons taste good, even if they weren't pretty.

    @TheMrWobbly Sorry you have the crud. I hope you can get rid of it soon. I would be doing the same if I ran with @tarun_yadavA. :lol:

    Thanks @Scott6255 . Love the shoe porn! Well, shoot. I hope the Pumas do better on the second run.

    @Laurz9191 You did great getting out for a run given the circumstances. I hope your son feels better and he doesn't share his germs.

    Sounds like a great run @martaindale !

    @yirara I hope the weather does get better for you tomorrow.

    @emptydog Oh my. That sounds scary. I would have called back when they were in, just to be sure. I hope you are okay and have a good run tomorrow.
