    Many happy returns for Friday @ContraryMaryMary

    Nice work @Aquarian - keep it up!

    We had signs of spring, and then the rains returned! Swapped long run days as the offspring were home for Mothering Sunday.

    Really not sure how to approach going further with 5 weeks to the marathon. Slowed it down on Saturday to stretch out the miles. HR just keeps increasing and by mile 15 it was up at 160. Perhaps better carb loading on the day before would help.

    Any insights greatly appreciated.

    Nice run @emptydog . I hope your appointment goes well today!

    Great job overcoming your inner sloth and getting in a good run @Laurz9191 .

    @kgirlhart Congrats on signing up for the Possums Revenge! Great running and I hope you enjoy the trails.

    Great run @Leigh_b .

    @TheMrWobbly I really don't have any insights for you. Maybe you just have to let your HR go above 160 bpm, unless there is a medical reason not to. What would happen if you walked a bit when it starts creeping up?

    @martaindale Sounds like you had a great walk with your kid. I hope they will continue walking with you.

    Congratulations on your age group placement @eleanorhawkins ! I'm sure you will do great on the next race too.

    @yirara Sorry your runs have been hard lately. Hang in there. It's bound to get better, right?

    I hope tomorrow's run is better @kgirlhart . You did great today. The time change makes it hard to get good sleep for a few days, I think.

    Sorry your run was miserable @tarun_yadavA . Getting in 4 miles in those conditions is great. I can't believe you missed @SummerSkier 's calorie edit. :lol:

    @Laurz9191 Sounds like you did great though. I hope you get the fueling figured out and your longer run goes well.

    Love the shoe porn @daria0919 ! I really like that color. I hope they work out for you.

    @ContraryMaryMary I would also find it quite difficult if I had to run up a hill like that ;). That looks steep. Are there any flat places you can run until you find your running groove again? Hills are excellent training though :).
