    Enjoy your weekend @Mari33a !

    Great run and workout @martaindale ! I hope your arms aren't too sore.

    Glad the new shoes felt good today @Laurz9191 . Sometimes Garmin can be so mean.

    Great runs @Teresa502 ! Your race will be here before you know it. Enjoy your hike. I look forward to some cool pictures.

    Did an experiment yesterday. Instead of eating out afterwards... I came home. I'm always struggling the next morning. So I thought I'll eat some junk (lighter junk I guess) when I got home.
    @tarun_yadavA all I can say is that in all the years I have known you this is a HUGE win.....👏👏👏👏👏👏
    COngratulations on finally thinking about the next morning... I still have times where I totally fail in this same regard so this is pot calling kettle for sure, but this means that in the future you can make a choice in your behavior (or behaviour?) which gives you a good result the next day.

    Nice long walk @brnlow !

    Glad you were able to get up early enough to get your run in @Mari33a . Maybe you can catch a nap on the bus. Enjoy the weekend!

    Great run after a night out @tarun_yadavA . Sounds like you may be onto something with the food.

    Feb total 34.5/100 miles
    YTD: 151.4 miles

    2/1: 6.5 miles
    2/2: 14 miles
    2/4: 3.2 miles
    2/7: 4.4 miles
    2/8: 6.4 miles

    Still warm this morning but a teeny bit cooler than yesterday with a really lovely breeze, which made all the difference! I saw so many people out running this morning! I have been doing my long runs at the spring creek trail so haven't been out in my neighborhood on the weekend in a while. Maybe there has been an explosion in runners in my neighborhood or maybe these are the winter runners and it will go back to the same few people as it warms up. I guess time will tell.

    Happy Sat everyone! today should hopefully be the last humid unseasonly warm morning for running for a few more weeks. Last year my avg per day running was about 4.3 miles, and I intended to increase that for this year. I managed 7.2 avg in Jan and to date in Feb 8.46!!!! YTD is 7.47

    Ran another 10 miler around the neighborhood and my pace was a little slower but hopefully if we get better running teams next week I can get faster times. Like @martaindale mentioned the breeze was really nice - cool - and the cloud cover early helped keep me from dehydrating.

    In the past I have always sort of been scared of the heavy mileage thinking that body parts would start falling off, but nothing ventured nothing gained right?

    I also have been using a TDEE tracker as I would like to coast downward in weight but I also want to make sure I am fueling enough. Right now after almost 6 weeks which is what it takes to get an initial look it says I have a TDEE of 2425 which is funny because I was about 1850 when I started maintaining weight in 2017. I do not think that it is really that high but it encourages me to eat enough for workouts even though it does not per say do anything but use algorhythms of weight and cals in and your own body stats.

    Here's a link to is if anyone is interested. You have to use a computer and download and then save as before you start using it. And the first few weeks it will probably give you higher TDEE #s than you expect as it learns your balance. But it does encourage you to not undereat while not pushing the "gotta go run 10 miles because I ate bla bla bla type of thing so I like it a lot.

    Was going to do a longer run but decided to cut it short and now making some chicken soup (that'll cure my cold/sinus!! :smiley: )

    Hope you feel better soon @WarmJellyfish

    1st Feb 5 km parkrun (6:47 min / km pace)
    5th Feb 9.78 km steady state run (7:18/km pace)
    8th Feb 8.25 km supersets (7:17/km pace)

    February goal 60 km
    23.03 km done, 36.97 to go

    I decided I really don't like superset training from coach Amy, I ran as hard as I could but then really struggled to breathe and needed to walk a bit, only to have to do it all again so I ended up with an overall slow-ish pace

    I am so behind posting my workouts I had a lot of messages to catch up, I read them all so all caught up now

    @brnlow I'm like you. If I get my workout done early, I'm really happy, but sleeping in is usually my priority when I can.

    Great run @martaindale . Sounds like you could start a neighborhood running club.

    @WarmJellyfish Glad you are feeling a little better. Taking more time off is a good idea. I hope you get back to normal soon.

    You are doing great @SummerSkier ! I thought your Jan mileage was amazing and look at you increasing that in Feb!

    @John772016 Nice running. I hope you can get rid of that cold soon.

    @Emilienewme Is that not liking it because it is so hard, or not liking it in that I think I'll change coaches? I've never tried that workout. It doesn't sound like any fun.

    @daria0919 Glad to see that you are able to be consistent with walking.

    I had to go to work today....mandatory CPR and first aid training. Why does sitting for 5 hours wear me out? I ran a couple of errands and, after I got home, just didn't have the time or energy for a run, so I did a short wun. It was really nice out though - 75F (23.9C) and a slight breeze.
