    4 miles yesterday makes 21 total out of 100 goal for the month. We had heavy storms Monday night. finally some decent rain! And the run was cooler too. Today it's 50 out so I will have to wear gloves I think!

    @quilteryoyo you and others always do an excellent job commenting on posts. I read them all but do find them hard to keep up with. Hope you are feeling better today!

    Apparently our theme this month is "pants" stories. 😳😂😂😂 Loving it. I did find a shop who will look at my truck next week for me. Hopefully it's not too pricey a fix but you never know. I probably should sell the truck now that I am not hauling a horse trailer or a boat around anymore. But I like having another vehicle for really bad weather and alternatives....

    In other news at work there has been no deviation to the new vacation rules going in to effect in January. Going to be an interesting few months as most of my team is taking off to get their time under 40 hours so they can accrue vacation again in the new year. Including me. LOL. Management official word is that we should manage our teams to have coverage. um. Sorry I am on vacation. 🙃😎🤷‍♀️ I have 5 folks who work for me and all of them have to take 20+ days. The only option I have is to go outside the system if I want to have coverage. sigh. Which means "giving" folks some of the days they would have accrued in the new year. It's a slippery slope to try to manage. Esp if for some reason I am no longer working then the "deal" is poof. I am still in shock that something as crazy as this would be announced with only 2 months to go instead of at least 6 months to a year. There must be some crazy financial profit and tax break in it for the corp.

    Glad you had good weather for your run @martaindale !

    @ContraryMaryMary I am so happy that you can run and your back isn't bothering you!

    I agree with you @Avidkeo . Rest is important for your health too.

    Nice run @tarun_yadavA .

    Great running and thanks @SummerSkier . I'm glad you got some much needed rain. I was expecting a "pants" story from you though. :wink: I hope you can figure out the work situation. I know that has to be stressful for the people at your level in the organization.

    You've got this @capewrathultra .

    Good plan @ContraryMaryMary . Glad you were able to mow and not hurt your back.

    Great running @SummerSkier . Love the morning glory pictures and that sky is spectacular! I think of Shana a lot too and think it is great that you changed our RTY name to honor her.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Great running. I saw an episode of Expedition Unknown last night that was partly filmed in London and thought of you. It was on the treasure of Boudica The warrior queen. He started out in London, at her statue, and asked people who the statue was of, and most had no idea. Would you have known?

    Nov 2 – 11.01 miles
    Nov 3 – 2.03 miles

    Nov 7 – 5.07 miles
    Total 23.22 miles/Goal 100 miles

    I was on the struggle bus this morning but got it done. We ran the “hilly” route today. Pace was 19 seconds slower per mile than same route two weeks ago. Oh well, mama said there would be days like this…

    Sounds like a very active and productive non-running day @ContraryMaryMary! Nothing beats home grown vegetables. Especially tomatoes.

    @Summerskier – beautiful sky and beautiful morning glories.
