    Pilates and a 20 minute recovery run for me today. My legs were shot from Monday’s Pilates so things were rather slow. And freezing, if lovely and sunny (yes, I know my freezing is not actually freezing - far from it - but it’s all relative!)

    Thanks @chris_in_cal . Glad you made it through the workout. I hope the twinges were nothing to worry about.

    Thanks @kgirlhart . Nice running. I hope your conference goes well. You're going to have to seek out another runner in your new work group. Room yoga is a great alternative.

    You're doing great @ContraryMaryMary .

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Nice run this morning.

    @SummerSkier [Are your shoes new? My shin always starts to bother me when the foam wears on my shoes. Even after only a couple hundred miles or months (I think both can be the issue distance or age).]

    I'm thinking about this too. I bought two different pairs of new shoes about two months ago and decided to run in one and save the second one for later. Now, I think I'm going to mix it up and alternate them.

    Yesterday's 6k run is a route I don't like, probably because of the all traffic lights I have to cross, no shade, late afternoon sun so a bit warm, but I still do it just for the mileage. Been procrastinating, finally got it done. Heat training.

    The rest of this week is interesting. Today will be nice weather. From Friday through Sunday, we're going swimming for the next few days with an expected heavy rain deluge coming for 3 days. Need to find my snorkle and flippers. Super rare event since it's usually so dry here, so this will be a lot of rain for us. Forecast is for about 100mm over the 3 days including snow in the higher elevations. Will be interesting doing the trails in the rain. Slippy slidy all over I suppose. Have a longer run to do. Gotta get wet sometime or I might go hide indoors and watch a movie…..

    13.13 ea? That's gonna be the new 777 @tarun_yadavA

    😂 have a safe holiday!

    @John772016 I rotate shoes a lot also because I think it minimizes stressing body parts. getting hot here now i think. Barely cracked 80 overnight.

    I'm two days behind. Trying to catch up while the littles are sleeping.

    Thanks @John772016 . Great running and taking advantage of the weather changes.

    Nice running @Laurz9191 . Good luck with the 5K and getting your local legend status back. And thanks for the kudos on the car.

    Thanks @WarmJellyfish . Nice running. Be careful on those slippery slopes. You don't need another tumble. Oh no. So sorry to hear that news about Banff. So sad. Good idea to cancel your trip.

    @SummerSkier I think we may all be just a little. I hope you get back to prime time soon.

    Enjoy your family get-together @ContraryMaryMary .

    What a great run to end your streak @tarun_yadavA . Enjoy your family holiday. Looking forward to hearing about your run sees.

    I'll try to posts my exercise for the last couple of days tonight. I don't have the info with me, or I would do it now. I wasn't counting on it being so hard to get my runs in this week. I hope I can make up for it next week…while on vacation….maybe?

    Nice run @ContraryMaryMary! What's on the menu?
    Great pace for your 13.13 @tarun_yadavA! Enjoy the holidays!

    I heard about the massive rockfall this morning on the news @WarmJellyfish, very sad. They announced a few minutes ago about finding another fatality but they believe everyone is now accounted for. Was reading some of the eyewitness accounts, sounds some were very lucky.

    @yirara I'm glad you figured out what your issue is and now know what to do to manage it. I'm sure you had a great time in the Artic. Any cool pictures?

    Hahaha @chris_in_cal . Not exactly the crack of dawn, but still morning. Great run. You are going to do great on your 5K.

    Hang in there @AlphaHowls . I know from experience that starting Hospice for someone is a hard step to make. I hope the new caregiver works out. Sorry about the tooth too. Your teeth can affect how your entire body feels.

    46.90/70 mile goal

    Posting three days.

    Wednesday I worked until 2:00, came home and mom, my neighbor, and I built an electric fence around mom's garden. I came home with the plan to do a slow wun, but since I was short on time, I wound up going faster than expected. I counted the first mile as a run, at a 13:21 min/mile pace and the last quarter of a mile I walked for a cool down. I ate a quick sandwich, took a shower, and headed off for church.

    Yesterday, I worked until 4, ran some errands, got home at about 6pm and went out for a walk, hoping to not sweat much - not wanting to take a shower. But, due to the humidity, I was a sweaty mess anyway.

    Today, I worked until 4:30. I did a slow driveway wun after I got home - avg pace was 15:32 min/mile. It was a lot less humid today, but still pretty sweaty at the end.

    I'm glad I don't have to be anywhere early in the morning and hope to sleep in. I do have a lot to do to get ready for our trip, but sleep is a priority as I haven't slept much the last couple of weeks.

    I'm posting two runs again. I took a rest day on Wednesday. We got home kind of late after the conference so we decided to come into the office later on Thursday. I was able to sleep in some and get a 6 mile run in. This morning, I was kind of dragging so I didn't get out as early as I needed to, but I did get a 5.62 mile run in.

    @AlphaHowls I am so sorry about your mom. It seems like everything is hitting you all at once.

    @WarmJellyfish That is so scary. I think we often forget how dangerous nature can be.
