    September Goal: 165 miles

    9/1: 6.05 miles

    9/2: 6.52 miles

    9/3: 6.25 miles

    9/4: 6.35 miles

    25.18/165 miles completed for September

    Today's run was hill repeats. I am still loosely following the Run with Hal plan, and he suggested running 7 x hills, but to run 2 of them downhill in the fast part. So that's what I did. I felt pretty good about the workout. I was a little slow on the last hill interval, but I was too fast on the downhill segments, so I think it evened out. The weather was really nice. The temperature was up a little compared to yesterday, but the dew point was lower and it felt great. The plan was for 6 miles but I wasn't quite home so I ended up with 6.35 miles.

    @Teresa502 I usually do yoga on you tube. One of the yogis I follow is Kassandra and she is doing a 30 day "yogalates" challenge. I like yoga better than pilates, but it has been kind of fun.

    9/2: 5 miles
    9/3: 5 miles
    9/4: 4 miles

    Total: 14/100

    Today's run was slightly slower and shorter than the last couple of days. My body was feeling a bit sluggish. And I just felt like doing an easier run today. Tomorrow will be a rest day, before my long run on Saturday.

    The day before yesterday I did a 17km, 730m elevation hike over small and not very big volcanoes. I still felt this in my legs yesterday, but still tried to run. Yeah, very stiff legs indeed. Had to walk for 4 short moments, totalling about just over 3 minutes. Could have been worse though.

    Checking in for September.

    Somehow I'm busy and distracted by real life but here are some updates from my side

    30th of September I participated some run, 5km. My time was 36:12. The worst ever but Im ok with that. From this point it can only be better. I was also sick two weeks ago and had to rest so I didn't feel completely renewed for big efforts.

    Two days ago, I signed up for a group training ( running), first time in my life. It's once per week. The first training was intense and it's exactly what I need: a mix of warming up, jogging, intervals, walking, stretching.

    Plan is to run one more race 5km, end of September, and to complete it faster then previous time.

    And then, 5th of October , race 10km race. Goal: 67 minutes or better.

    14.37/81km - 0.9km aheadAnd another small mini-hill run today. Found a slightly better route that has a more gradual increase instead of steep, then nearly flat, then steep again. Also decided to run slower and make smaller steps. Ok, still needed 4 short walks, but overall I was more in control.

    Sounds like a great, hard run today @kgirlhart .

    Nice running @Zaxa2021 , @tarun_yadavA , @chris_in_cal , @yirara , @username301 .

    That's beautiful @WarmJellyfish . Glad the smoke cleared and hope it get cold enough to keep the mozzies at bay soon.

    Glad you found a motivating group to run with @micukica .

    I say there is nothing wrong with some walking @yirara . As long as you are moving forward, you're doing good.

    Yard sale all day - 7:15 - 5:00. We enjoyed meeting the people who stopped by, made $135, and got rid of some clutter. Repeat is on the schedule for tomorrow.

    When I got home, I went out for a short driveway wun. Keeping the streak going and burning off a few calories.

    @chris_in_cal Is that a first half marathon? However, signing up for smaller race before the big one, is a good decision for sure.

    Legs were too stiff for running today. No problem. Just a very quick run. Planning a longer hike tomorrow, thus that's fine.

    Wow @zaxa2021 12 TM miles!! That's tremendous!
    @chris_in_cal have fun this weekend!

    It was in the 60's this morning! So I went for a long(er) run. My right calf cramped up around 4.5 miles, so I cut it at 8 miles. Iced then heated and it feels better, but still not 💯%. It's always something 🫤

    I ran 9 miles this morning on the Tweetsie Trail, a local rails-to-trail. Wasn't sure whether to wear my road shoes or trail shoes as it has tiny packed gravel. I wore my road shoes which worked okay. Two friends ran 8 miles so I just tacked another on while they were doing a cool down walk.

    Hope you have a fun time away @chris_in_cal and that you made tons of money today @quilteryoyo !

    @username301 Yes, that is what I did. Looking back on my post, I see it wasn't very clear. I was excited to post about the run and wasn't thinking very clearly, apparently.

    9/2: 5 miles
    9/3: 5 miles
    9/4: 4 miles
    9/6: 12 miles
    9/7: 4 miles

    Total: 30/100

    Relaxed 4 mile run this morning.

    Tomorrow is a rest day. I'm quite happy with what I did this past week.

    @Zaxa2021 You were totally clear, I was just joking badly in a post 10km haze.

    Some miles people post here are incredible, but 4am miles, just wow.
