19.50/65 mile goal

I only managed to walk one mile, slower pace than normal, because I woke up at 3 am with a crick in my neck and it has been really bad all day. I hope I just slept wrong and I didn't injure myself at the gym yesterday. I slowed the walk because just the little jarring from walking fast made it hurt - or it was the swinging of my arms. Anyway, it is a little bit better finally. I hope I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.

I'm also feeling old because I unexpectedly got my Medicare card in the mail today.

I’m not far behind you @quilteryoyo! Just a few months - and have already started getting calls from people who want “help” me navigate signing up.

Scott6255 · April 9

I hear you @quilteryoyo ... Those aches are coming fast and furious these days. I hope you feel better in the morning.

Rain all day today after a glorious break in the clouds yesterday right before the eclipse. It was really amazing. Anyway, just did 6 TM miles after work.

daria0919 · April 10

Great job on your half @TheMrWobbly!

@emptydog nice job on getting the 5K done and placing in your age group!

Great runs EVERYONE over the last several days. Hectic schedule for me so far for most of April so have only had a few short chances to skim posts and “like”/“hug”.

Hope jet lag doesn’t last too long for you @tarun_yadavA. Hope your son enjoyed the trip!

I ran 6 miles this morning. I thought it might be stormy but it wasn't. We had a hail storm last night and the windshield on my car is cracked. So I didn't sleep well last night. But since it wasn't stormy when I got up, I decided to run and I was glad I did. I am planning to take a rest day tomorrow.

Congratulations on your Half @the misterwobbly and congratulations on your AG win @emptydog.

Great running yesterday @martaindale . Glad you got to experience the darkness of the eclipse and saw glimpses of it.

Nice recovery run @kgirlhart .

Great jet lagged run @tarun_yadavA . That sounds brutal. I hope you recover from the trip quickly. Glad you had a great trip and especially glad that we got to meet!

@quilteryoyo me also! ☺️
Slept properly... So should be over it now

tarun_yadavA · April 10

Morning all.
4M (at 09'47).

Getting back into routine now. Though I do have to visit my mother's for a couple of days

quilteryoyo · April 10

Nice wog @daria0919 !

Thanks for the commiseration on getting older @daria0919 and @Scott6255 !

Glad the clouds broke for the eclipse for you @Scott6255 . Nice running too.

Oh no @kgirlhart . So sorry about your windshield. Great running though.

Glad the jetlag doesn't seem to be too bad @tarun_yadavA ! Maybe your mother forgot to buy ice cream.

Neck update: Looking down and to the right is still painful, but I have a greater range of motion than I had yesterday.

ALL ... I RECOMMEND WHERE/IF WE CAN... We should all endeavour to meet up where possible.

@quilteryoyo loved every second of this morning! Best Bloody Mary-less Brunch ever 😊❤️😊❤️

I don't know what happened (well, I do, life got in the way) but suddenly we're well into April and I haven't been in here since mid March:-o

Still reading but have to say this, above, is awesome, how cool that you met!

martaindale · April 10

April total: 26.5 miles
YTD: 299.3/1200 miles

4/2: 5.7 miles
4/3: 3 miles
4/6: 8 miles
4/8: 3.3 miles
4/10: 6.5 miles

A band of storms with hail and winds came through here last night but was mostly done by the time we woke up. Luckily our cars are in the garage so no cracked windshields but my kid heard it hitting their window in the middle of the night. Everything was wet and lots of debris on all the sidewalks this morning but it felt a little cooler because of the damp aftermath of the storm despite the very high humidity.
I am meeting my friend for the springtime surprise race weekend at Disney in less than 2 weeks and it’s looking like it will be pretty warm. It’s looking warmer here too so I guess that will be heat acclimation training.

Mari33a · April 10

03/04 3.55 miles
09/04 3.55 miles

7.10/50 miles

Got out for a run in yesterday evening but the weather is terrible and I don't expect to get many runs in for the rest of this week either because it's rain, rain and more rain forecast. My husband who loves to give me daily forecasts says it is to pick up from the end of next week so I have high hopes for the 2nd half of the month - here's hoping!

Well done on your half @TheMrWobbly! The photos are class too!

Scott6255 · April 10

Was raining all day again today, until just before quitting time. But by then it turned cold and windy (30mph winds). So another 6 TM miles.

tarun_yadavA · April 11

Morning all.
Got in 5 (at 09'46 pace)

PS: @quilteryoyo no she didn't forget to stock the freezer/cabinets "it's not for youuuu, it's for the kids!" 🙈🙃

Laurz9191 · April 11

Hi everyone!

This taper week before the marathon has been super busy for me. Even though my runs are short, I’ve had to really squeeze them in. Today was 3.2km and yesterday 6.5 km (3km at race pace) and stiess 4.6km.

So far 64.5km/200km.

quilteryoyo · April 11

Thanks @eleanorhawkins . It was so much fun. You have been doing some amazing runs that I see elsewhere on here. I hope you can get back to a more "normal" routine.

@martaindale Glad you didn't get any hail damage. Great running.

@mari333a I hope your husband is correct and the weather is better the last of the month. Running in the rain is hard for a lot of us, then there are some that enjoy it.

@Scott6255 Get TM running. The weather is wrecking havoc on lots of us this week.

You are doing great @yirara . You can easily make up that deficit...well, maybe not easily, but you can!

Hahaha @tarun_yadavA . But, you are her "kid" so I think that counts.

You are doing great @Laurz9191 . Aren't you glad it is a taper week?!

eleanorhawkins · April 11

@quilteryoyo Thank you. It's going to get crazier before it gets better... I have the last of the local road race series on Sunday, fly to the UK for my grandmother's funeral next week, possibly start a new job when I get back, we're hiking another Camino de Santiago the first week in May for our anniversary, my 60km ultra is on May 18th, then I have another race mid-June... and somehow in between all the above I need to get these crazy long training run/hike/climb/scrambles in LOL.

@Laurz9191 sounds like a very well-timed taper. Enjoy your race
