    Morning all. Was on call again last night and despite just one call out, I'm dragging this morning. May go for a walk later but plan is to just chill.

    24.25/80 mile goal

    I was really lazy today and just wasn't feeling the run. I did the planned drill workout, plus some, but the end was really hard and I wound up strolling part way home before finishing with a fast walk.

    Afterwards, my neighbor and I went to pick wild persimmons. I should have gotten them a couple of weeks ago. There weren't many left. I think the wind blew most of them off of the tree and the critters got to them before we did. We got about 20...not really enough to do anything with but eat them. They are really good this year, so I don't blame the critters!

    November Goal: 100 miles

    11/1: 8.20 miles
    11/3: 5.02 miles
    11/5: 4.02 miles
    11/7: 4.26 miles

    21.50/100 miles completed for November

    Another rest day yesterday. This has really been a stressful week to be in a taper. I like taking a rest day on the weekend, but I don't really like rest days during the week. I prefer to get a run in before work. I ran 4.25 miles this morning. Tomorrow will be another rest day and then Saturday will be the Half Marathon. The weather should be nice at around 54°F. It has been stormy tonight, but should clear up by the then.

    @kgirlhart You're doing great with your taper. I predict a great race tomorrow!

    @tarun_yadavA Isn't it interesting how you (most humans) don't know as much about their own home town as they do about other places.

    Oh no @daria0919 . I'm so sorry. He looks like a sweet old soul. Hugs to you!

    @AmunahSki If Garmin says you did good, you probably did better than you thought with that run. Good idea to not try to run after a heavy meal. I'm with your hubby - would rather not live in a big city.

    Glad you slept good last night @Avidkeo . I hope you don't get called out tonight.

    Having not run much for a while, you did great @ContraryMaryMary ! Odd about the Strava data. Glad it wasn't as bad as you thought at first.

    Great work @steviebee888! Way to go!!

    Looking forward to hearing how @kgirlhart did on her HM.

    @daria0919 Sorry for your loss. He looks like a sweet puppy.

    @tarun_yadavA I have to agree with @quilteryoyo, midday bloody Mary = brunch. See, you like brunch after all!!

    Nov 2 – 11.01 miles
    Nov 3 – 2.03 miles
    Nov 5 – 5.11 miles
    Nov 7 – 5.07 miles
    Nov 9 – 12.03 miles
    Total 35.25 miles/Goal 100 miles

    This morning we headed to the Mendota Trail (a rail-to-trails) and ran 12 miles. It was a bit chilly at 48F at 7:00 am but the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. Two of us ran 12 miles; 2 other friends ran 10 miles; and a third rode her bicycle and set up an aid station for us.

    @quilteryoyo – Yesterday, I used a recipe that you gave us from the Rise and Run cookbook for Yam Spice Superhero Muffins. I didn’t have any yams so I used a can of pumpkin and they turned out really well. Thanks again for sharing that. Hope you enjoyed your persimmons!

    Sending you a big hug @daria0919. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your furbaby Drake. He was beautiful and lucky to be a part of your family.

    That bloody mary looks very good @tarun_yadavA.

    @SummerSkier – I too have a very hard time disconnecting from my email when I’m off. You did very well on Friday!

    Congratulations on your half marathon @steviebee888. I’ve heard that one is a good one to run.

    Sorry for your blood sugar drop @martaindale. I hope you can get some good rest tonight and have a better day tomorrow. I listened to Dr. Stacy Sims on a Huberman Lab podcast. So much information! All the females here need to listen and all the men recommend it to the women in your life – especially if any are peri-menopausal or older.

    I’m with you @Scott6266 not really hungry after a long run. It usually doesn’t hit me until the next day. I hope things slow down for you at work. It’s tough having those long days and trying to get up in time to get a run in. Sometimes, rest is better for our tired bodies and souls.

    Looking forward to your race report @kgirlhart!
