    Good morning! It was a little chilly when I headed out for my run this morning - 41F! But, the sun was shining and it was a glorious morning! I ran 6.25 miles. Heading to a graduation luncheon shortly. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

    @tarun_yadavA - Enjoy the lunch celebration. I have no doubt your will reach your peak fitness goals!

    Hope the rain stops for a few days for you @John772016. I admire your treadmill dedication.

    Running at the lake sounds lovely @chris_in_cal !

    dang the spammers are following us right to the message boards now! 🧐😏

    I woke up this morning and SWEAR to god, I could not put any weight on my left ankle without angry pain (like a sprain). When my eyes got open enough to accept light and I looked down I would have expected to see an angry swollen sight. Nope. Since this is the 2nd time in a couple months this happened to me I decided that my lower back was more a suspect than the ankle itself and moving around more would help. 4 miles at a slightly less than boyfriend pace but by the time I finished ankle completely normal again. I am starting to suspect that once you get past a certain age, it takes a lot bravery to just "push thru".

    hey maybe that is a keyword we used which brought out the spammer?

    ANyway 134 miles month to date and 1018 year to date. I feel my mileage will start lagging a little with the higher dew point morning because I don't have enough SWEAT in my body to go further and I always forget to take the saltabs with me.

    Congratulations @kgirlhart!! I'm so happy for you! I'm sure that's a huge stress relief.

    @SummerSkier That's weird about your ankle. Hope that doesn't become a regular thing. I love that bf/gf pace is working it's way into the vernacular here! And, yes, it's fully salt tab season. It got hot fast!

    Great running over the last few days everyone. I liked and hugged my way through a few pages.

    Nice runs @kgirlhart, @chris_in_cal, @tarun_yadavA, @Teresa502, @Mari33a, @SummerSkier, & @martaindale!

    On other threads spammer guy basically described what he's looking for in a partner (I think?) &/or how his job is so risky, as below…., "….we are always on the high battle field ground defense! But am down for the challenge of being able to archive what I never relented on!"

    Huh?

    I ran again today after a rather bad uti (main symptom was crippling tiredness) and a 5 days trip abroad where I walked a bit. Winner was walking through 4 towns in a day, first another walk through the town where I'd spent the night, then on by bus and explored the terminal bus station town when a thunderstorm and torrential rains came by, moved to a different town with just a mild drizzle by train, and then to the town where I'd spent the next two nights. :D Anyway, back to running I guess even if I won't reach my running goal for this month.

    Sunday long run today - just the local 11.5km loop but it felt longer today, mainly because my hips/back were talking to me. Good to get it done, and now for a lazy afternoon with my book (and probably some yoga too!).

    I have one non-MFP Strava friend...a dude. I've never met him but he seems to live in my neighborhood and he runs a lot around here.

    This morning the dude just woke up, laced'em up, and ran a 50km loop around San Diego. Wow. I am so impressed. That's seems superhuman. At an 8:30/mi pace too.

    @martaindale google black flies. They are near water. May=June. Nasty suckers. Wear lighter clothes but not sure anything helps. Used to see them at the barn. When I was trail riding with friends you always tried to be first as the flies tended to go to the 2nd in line. LOL.

    WoW! @tarun_yadavA great running this weekend! thanks for giving us a new fun term to describe our runs.

    My ankle was completely well by the end of my run. I know it's my back because I was pretty "active" playing tennis but not much to do except keep on keepin on.

    @John772016 the spammer posted here and I flagged it so it's gone now but yeah wtf is that just a computer compilation of buzx words? 😏

    @quilteryoyo hope you are having a good weekend! I am trying to get myself motivated to do some chores around the house. Usually if I make a "list" I will get it done.

    Got in a 4 miler yesterday after a 1 mile on Friday just to streak. Still over 7 avg per day for the year but dropping pretty fast. I AM going to remember to take some tabs with me today.

    @AlphaHowls you will need to add the "boyfriend run" to next months opener. I like it. Using it on Strava as well.
