Sounds like something I would do. Great job with the run. Baby racoons are so cute.I ran all the paces faster than Hal suggested, and I got mixed up in the second interval so for the first few intervals I ran the fast portion slow and the slow portion fast. But I still ran intervals even if I did some of them backwards.
Great running and mileage for the year @tarun_yadavA !
@AmunahSki What is silent disco? Sounds like a lot of fun and I'm impressed that you got out and did 50 min after that. All of those up and the ski slope would "kill" me. You must be in great shape to do that.
@Laurz9191 That sounds like a tough run, but you nailed it!
Great running @emptydog .
You are doing great with your streak @daria0919 !

Today and tomorrow my mom and I are yard selling with my neighbor. (We are participating in the 23 miles of yard sales along the main road that goes sort of by mom's house. We aren't on the main road, but are close enough that people will venture over to see what we have.) We are mostly selling things that my cousin had and a few things we were ready to get rid of. So, today was mostly spent sitting and talking to people. We sold a few things. It was fun, but didn't leave a lot of time for exercise. So, a minimum walk it was. It will probably be the same thing tomorrow. I'll have to put off my planned long run for another day.
One lady dropped her drivers license in the driveway and someone else found it. After we closed up for the day, mom and I drove it to her house and gave it back to her. She hadn't realized she had lost it. I was just glad there was an address so we could return it without a lot of effort. She was very thankful.6 -
Afternoon all. (Yes, I left it late).
Got in 7.56M again - at 10"10.
Good luck @7lenny7

@7lenny7 you did fantastic! 43 miles with very little training is amazing!

I forgot to post my run yesterday. Work was crazy busy, then we went out to eat and to my sister's so we got home late. My run was really good. The weather was nice at 72°F and the sky was clear. I ran 6 miles. It was mostly uneventful. I did see a skunk, and I got startled by a frog who jumped up on the curb next to me. It was nice and I felt good.
The weather is perfect right now, but today is my rest day and I am going to a baby shower here in a bit. I have a little great nephew on the way in October. The weather for tomorrow should be just as nice though, so I am looking forward to the long run.
I also didn't get a chance to read the posts from yesterday, so I am going to try to get caught up.
If you're interested, here is a picture of the quilt I made for the baby.
The baby's dad is a skateboarder, so I thought skateboard fabric would be fun.

@AmunahSki Math and running don't seem to mesh very well! Good job getting it done, whatever the distance.
@kgirlhart We have a family of raccoons that uses our backyard as a cut through. I love seeing them! It's a group of three and they follow the stone pathways from one side of our backyard to the other and then under the fence every night at dusk.
And cute quilt!
@Laurz9191 Happy Birthday!!
@7lenny7 Way to go! I'm always so impressed by you ultra running people.

Completely forgot to post yesterday morning. I did a pretty uneventful shorter run around the neighborhood. My legs felt less heavy, which was nice.
After work yesterday, I headed to Huntsville State Park to go camping. Timing worked out perfectly. The weather this weekend is going to be really nice, with lows in the '60s both nights and a high around 85° f today.
This morning I went on my first double-digit run in a few months. When I started it was 69° f, which felt amazing! By the time I finish it was still cooler than it has been at sunrise for the last several months. The run went well, and with the cooler temperatures I felt really strong despite doing a longer distance.
For the rest of the day all I have to do is enjoy myself, which is my favorite part of camping! No real responsibilities. Here's the view from my campsite, where I am currently sitting in a chair and about to read my book.

Hello Everyone! I’m currently at 10.9 miles of my 50-mile goal. This morning I ran/walked another 5K. This premier 5K event and was in celebration of National Recovery Month benefiting addiction recovery scholarships for students.
I was quite proud of this 5K, because for the first time in a long time, I did negative splits. WooHoo 🥳 🙌🏾. Definitely working on being more consistent.
Have a great day everyone!

16.55/70 mile goal
It was drizzling rain this morning, so we decided to put off opening up the yard sale for an hour. So, I went ahead and did my walk before we started today. I thought I had walked at 3.8 mph until I just did the math, and apparently I didn't reset the speed, so the walk was at 3.5 mph. That was fast enough for me this morning.
I didn't sale as much of the big stuff as I had hoped, but talking to people all day was fun.5 -
I had a very successful week. I don't post everyday but I do read everyone's post daily and they are very motivating. So thank you all for helping me reach my goals.
I did not have a distance goal for September but just wanted to be consistent in my running as I get back into it. My goal was to hit the road 4 times this week. I made it out six times!! ok, they were all short and slow but it's a start. The weather here has been hot 35C/93F, but fall is coming this week and I can not wait.
Sept. 1- 5km 7'02"
Sept. 2- 8km 7'49" very hot, lots of walking and pouting lol but I stayed out and did it
Sept. 3- 4km 6'40"
Sept. 4- 0
Sept. 5- 4km 6'58"
Sept. 6- 6.5km 7'01"
Sept. 7- 6km 6'54"
Total- 33.5km
Going to increase distance and push the pace, maybe do some interval training or hills. We shall see what the body says.7 -

Oh no! I've been so worried about her lately. I know I never met her in real life, but I will really miss her.3 -
