    I was less than a tenth of a mile into my run this morning when it started sprinkling rain. It picked up quite a bit when I hit the 2 mile mark at my driveway so since I didn’t have a hat on and the rain was running down into my eyes, I hung a right and called it done.

    Thanks @daria0919! Glad all your COVID symptoms are gone!

    @quilteryoyo – If the priced doesn’t increase, I would wait to register for the race as long as possible. I’ve been called for jury duty a couple of times, once at the county level and once for federal court, but once they learn that I work in the legal world, I get dismissed quickly.

    @kgirlhart – I hope you had a great stay-cation. I do not know how you ran in that heat! You are a beast. Glad you shoulder is feeling better and Happy Anniversary!

    @Laurz9191 – Great long run! I’m on the wait list for that book at my online library. Sounds motivating.

    Sorry you missed your race @Steviebee888. The first half marathon that I ran was delayed almost an hour because the race organizers didn’t realize what a backup it would be by having the race at this vineyard located with only single lane roads for access. It was very frustrating and tiring standing around waiting for the start but I’m sure it was equally as frustrating for those sitting in the traffic trying to get to the start.

    Good job squeezing your run in on Sunday @ContraryMaryMary. It’s so easy to “muck about a bit.”

    @tarun_yadavA – Here in the states we would not only get fined for not appearing for jury duty, but a law enforcement officer would be knocking on our door and giving us a free ride to the courthouse where we would be found guilty of contempt of court and get one of those staycations courtesy of the local taxpayers!

    Hi everyone!

    I went on an easy recovery 8.5km today. It was a nice uneventful run.

    170.4/270km for August.

    Afternoon all.
    Got in 5.25M at 09"59.

    @quilteryoyo
    Any joy on the Jury duty side of things?
    @Teresa502 yikes! take jury duty very seriously in Virginia!

    I got a Dr's note in the end... All legit!

    @quilteryoyo author? Lol. I'm not an author!
    I think @ContraryMaryMary said she was in Publishing?

    Sounds like you are being smart @henridw2095 . You are doing good for the month so far.

    That's a great run, especially in those conditions @kgirlhart ! Happy Anniversary!!! Sometimes just a nice quiet dinner is what the doctor ordered.

    I don't blame you for calling your run at 2 miles @Teresa502 . Yes, my jury duty notice says: "Failure to report could result in a contempt charge and a five hundred dollar fine." The price for the race doesn't increase again until 1 Oct, so I'll at least wait until after the orientation and see what they say about vacations. If asked, I'll tell them I have a vacation planned then and see what they say.

    Those are the best runs @Laurz9191 .

    Nice running @Mari33a . I'm sure Dakota was glad you came back and got him.

    Great run @tarun_yadavA . I won't know anything else about jury duty until I show up for orientation on the 3rd of Sept, so a couple more weeks. I figured you had written the book "Can't Hurt Me," since @laurz9191 said "at the end of my run the chapter was about the author running a 100mile race with zero training and conditioning." Sounds like something you would do. :wink:

    @yirara Great run and I'm glad you have figured out how to run with your muscle issues.

    @AmunahSki Sounds like a great week. You did great to get out and do your long run on Sunday after camping for 3 days with the grandkids.

    My friend had car trouble and was unable to join me this morning so I ran laps around our corporate office campus. Boring but it got it done.

    Happy Birthday to your son @tarun_yadavA!

    Thanks for checking in @chris_in_cal. Sorry about the skin cancers but so glad you are going to the dermatologist and they are keeping on top of it.
