    Today is my 10 year streak anniversary on MFP. I have lost 80 pounds. It took me about a year to lose and I have been in maintenance for about 9 years. I also started running 9 years ago. (I looked back and 9.25.2016 was the date I started C25K.) I don't really like to brag on myself, but I am very proud of myself for losing the weight, keeping it off, and developing healthy habits. This group has helped me stay motivated and accountable, so I give y'all some of the credit for my success.


    CONGRATULATIONS @kgirlhart on your 10 year milestone! You’re so consistent and dedicated to your running! AMAZING!

    Great running @kgirlhart. Congrats on your 9 years of a healthier you! That's awesome.

    Nice running @tarun_yadavA .

    You can do it @TheMrWobbly !

    I agree @WarmJellyfish . Sometimes I really want it and other days I think I am okay with where I am. Therein lies part of my problem.

    reflux from hell. Meh.
    05.10 strength
    06.10 4.0km 32min 8:05/km - something
    07.10 4.1km 32min 7:54/km - 11x20s faster
    08.10 strength
    09.10 4.5km 36min 8:06/km - just shite

    12.51/81km - 10.9km behind

    Another *kitten* run. Yesterday I was constantly doing little sprints to check out my new phone issue. Apple is now replacing it. Anyway. Running today didn't work at all. Imagine your ability to run depends on a high heartrate, and then your heartrate doesn't go up properly, your muscles don't get enough oxygen and nothing works. yeah, that's what happened today. I also seemed to have pulled a hamstring doing barbell romanian deadlifts yesterday.

    Thank you @quilteryoyo and @daria0919 . I didn't want to post until I knew this was more than a 1 week wonder.

    So what was the epiphany @WarmJellyfish ?

    Easy run this evening, HR bit elevated, felt harder than it needed to be.

    Runs 5/18. Distance 25km/110km. Weights 3/9

    Nice runs & walks @chris_in_cal, @angf0679, @quilteryoyo, @kgirlhart, @tarun_yadavA, @BigDfromNJ, @Teresa502 (doesn't count, do it again!), @yirara(I hope tomorrow is better for you!), @username301, & @daria0919 (Juliet is a sweetie!)!

    No currently signed-up races for me @chris_in_cal, though I'm consider a couple of 10K's in October/November that still have space. At my physiotherapists today, he keeps pushing me to sign up for a Half in the spring ("You run 16K+ for fun, it's only 5K more, do it").

    Congrats on loss & maintaining it for 9 years @kgirlhart! That is awesome work and you should be very proud of your accomplishments (& the fact that you continue to add to it)! You are inspiring to me in addition to everyone else on this thread!

    You'll find your best way @nossmf; schedule changes can certainly play havoc with the best of intentions.

    Oct:
    01/10 - 6.55km / 4.07 miles
    02/10 - 0km - Rest day
    03/10 - 0km - Cycling - 28km
    04/10 - 16.17km / 10.05 miles
    05/10 - 0km - Rest day
    06/10 - 6.66km / 4.14 miles
    07/10 - 0km - Cycling - 25.11km
    08/10 - 5.92km / 3.68 miles
    09/10 - 6.21km / 3.86 miles - Treadmill (nothing important in the spoiler)

    Total = 41.52km / 25.80 miles (Goal - 125Km / 77.7 miles)

    Woke up to 2⁰ C (it was 28⁰ C just a 3 days ago on Monday!). We had a frost warning this morning, so hopped on the treadmill & ran until the treadmill tripped the breaker (WTF?!). Did not expect that. I must have plugged something else onto that line over the summer, oops!

    Pilates and short run today. My watch didn’t pick me up until I was nearly done so distance and pace were off. Shame, as I was close to my PB. About 10 seconds in it I guess.

    Who could say no to that cute face!

    Shuffled through a 5k and it took me over 40 minutes. This is going to be a loooong journey back!

    Oh quick one. Americans.

    Question.

    Anyone flown anywhere recently?

    ( @Scott6255 ? )

    What are the airport lines like?

    We have an early AM flight from MIA to Panama next Saturday. Just wondering about how bad the queues might be?

    (MIA is pretty awful in terms of being quick anyways).

    If I got ANYTHING with an "8" I would be eating cake! @tarun_yadavA I haven't flown recently but lately there has been news about the air controllers. Probably just fake but who knows ever anymore.

    Haha - thanks @chris_in_cal.

    BTW, isn’t it about time we saw an “after” photo of you? You’ve done an amazing job with your weight loss! I’m glad you’re signed up for a HM next year! I’m sure it’ll be a great accomplishment.

    That's too bad @ContraryMaryMary . Great job on the pace, even if you don't have proof. 😉

    @TheMrWobbly Just remember "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."  You've already done that hard part.

    I thought the lady was so sweet @tarun_yadavA . Great run and 7's! I haven't flown either, but they are reporting delays due to the government shut-down and the air traffic controllers not coming to work. I hope you get through without a hitch.

    Beautiful moon @SummerSkier .

    You're doing great @daria0919 ! Amen!

    Just a short 2 miles this morning. It was 44F and windy so I actually put on a long sleeve shirt - don't be jealous Texans!

    Amen @daria0919 ! And oh what a cutie pie Juliet is!

    @kgirlhart - Congratulation on 10 years - you are awesome and amazing!

    Safe travels @Scott6255 and @tarun_yadavA ! I haven't flown since the government shutdown but the news has reported major delays at the airports.

    @SummerSkier - I have a new pair of shoes under my bed to break out - that has to be the answer!

    Good to see you back @MrWobbly!

    Great running everyone!

    @tarun_yadavA I am not leaving for ATL until Thursday, and yes I am worried about delays/cancellations due to the shutdown. Hope you have an easy time with your flights

    Nice runs & walks @quilteryoyo, @ContraryMaryMary, @TheMrWobbly, @tarun_yadavA, @SummerSkier, @daria0919, @Teresa502, & @WarmJellyfish (great pics!)!

    My physiotherapist asked me to cut back on my total mileage but has tried to talk me into a HM for at least my last 4 appointments if not longer @quilteryoyo. That's part of the reason I don't think the issues I'm having are over-training issues.

    Oct:
    01/10 - 6.55km / 4.07 miles
    02/10 - 0km - Rest day
    03/10 - 0km - Cycling - 28km
    04/10 - 16.17km / 10.05 miles
    05/10 - 0km - Rest day
    06/10 - 6.66km / 4.14 miles
    07/10 - 0km - Cycling - 25.11km
    08/10 - 5.92km / 3.68 miles
    09/10 - 6.21km / 3.86 miles - Treadmill
    10/10 - 6.32km / 3.93 miles - Treadmill (nothing interesting in the spoiler)

    Total = 47.85km / 29.73 miles (Goal - 125Km / 77.7 miles)

    Frost again this morning, luckily I had cut all my herbs & removed all the peppers yesterday.
    Wild temp swings, by this afternoon, it had warmed up about 30⁰ F to a comfy 60⁰ F.
    As I had decided to throw a ham in the oven for dinner & didn't want to leave while it was cooking this afternoon, so hopped on the treadmill & watch the nice day out the window.
    No bad breaker issues today after making sure nothing else was plugged in on that circuit 🤸‍♂️!
