    @chris_in_cal Been meaning to ask you how things are in your area? I couldn’t remember where you lived relative to the LA fires. A woman I work with has relatives in Altadena and they lost 2 family homes. You see snippets on the news but they tend to focus on the big money areas like Malibu.

    Why do new shoes make me motivated and speedy? 🤷‍♀️😀🙃😂 In keeping with my decision that just because I am over 60 I can only hold the line and not make progress is horse pucky, I am continuing my drive to work harder and expect to be stronger and fitter this year for 66 or oh crap 67! 😳

    Today's 10 miler run was unplanned but the weather was really perfect - and you won't hear this Texan say 28 is perfect very often....😳😳😳 I had gotten some new Nike rocket shoes for xmas but delayed wearing them until it dried out a little so this morning was the day for them.

    Welcome @SwimBikeRunRepeat to our little haven.

    @Avidkeo please check in and let us know how you are doing!

    @quilteryoyo hope that whatever you thought you were coming down with disappears without blooming into something for you!

    @tarun_yadavA hope those new shoes turn the tide on your foot hurting! One can never have too many running shoes..😎😎😎

    @chris_in_cal nice to see you back and keeping active again!!!

    @Scott6255 hope you are enjoying all that snow and just keep it right up there k? And you know... because I always say this.🙃🧐 maybe your lower legs might like a change up in shoe styles? I actually got some trail shoes to use because my normal runners were not keeping my feet warm. And sometimes change in drop # can make a huge difference in how our skeleton/muscle/tendons react to running. For a while a few years back when tennis did my back in I was tottering around on 2" heels at work because it relieved my back pain totally (well along with excedrin migraine).

    Sounds like you are doing great @katharmonic . That's more snow than we normally get all year! I've never heard of cupping before.

    @AlphaHowls I can't entertain myself that well. You are amazing.

    I think we all worry about falling on the snow and ice @martaindale . It isn't good, regardless of your age. Sorry about your friend's relatives houses. Those fires are horrible. I hope your long run goes well today.

    I'm glad you are safe from the fires @SwimBikeRunRepeat .

    Thanks @SummerSkier I do seem to be feeling better today. I think taking Mucinex every night is helping to nip it in the bud. Great long, cold, run in your new rocket shoes today!

    It's okay to walk @yirara . At least you are still moving forward.

    @Mari33a Good idea to give the foot a bit longer to heal. You are doing great with the shorter runs and biking.

    I hope you feel better soon @kgirlhart !

    @quilteryoyo Thanks! The LA fires haven't impacted me that much, but I am still dealing with the aftermath of the Airport Fire.

    @katharmonic When I was being treated for my Achilles tendinitis the PT used cupping once or twice on my calf. Idk if it did anything for me but if you feel like it's helping you I say go for it.

    @chris_in_cal I'm glad you are good in San Diego. Sorry about your friend. It's tough. You're doing great with the running and hope you can figure out the new watch. Sometimes technology is hard.

    @martaindale I think you are probably right about the stride and bouncing. I find I do that too when I am "trying" to go slow (as opposed to just being slow LOL). Is there any way to change a setting on your watch so it isn't constantly beeping at you. That would drive me bonkers too. I hope your knee stops bothering you soon.

    @Teresa502 Hugs to your co-worker who lost their home. That is so hard to deal with. Also, hugs to your parents. A flooded basement isn't fun. I'm sure they are glad that you can help them clean up that mess.

    @SwimBikeRunRepeat I hope you get the tree cleaned up and the winds aren't as bad this time.

    Nice run @Mari33a . I'm glad it felt okay.

    @martaindale Great run, esp for a day after a HM distance. I'm glad your shirt worked out.
