    I've always been pretty slow, even before I became middle aged & the current circumstances (points at stomach) I'd be pleased to have any period at 5km/30m pace.

    Thought I'd use this weekend to try that pace, see how it feels. 5km complete, 400m @ 5.56m/km & 600m @ 7.(variable)m/km x5.

    Pretty pleased in my own way.

    Runs 14/18. Distance 85km/110km. Weights 3/9

    Nice running & walking @chris_in_cal, @BigDfromNJ, @WarmJellyfish, @quilteryoyo, @kgirlhart, @SummerSkier, @daria0919, @TheMrWobbly, @username301, & @yirara!

    Nice eating @ContraryMaryMary!
    I also assumed it was @tarun_yadavA on the cruise ship before I saw the poster!

    Great pics @quilteryoyo, adorable family!

    Always good to make sure you recover @nossmf. Glad to hear you're doing well other than the old man waking up stuff 😂. If that gets better for you, please feel free to post what you did!!!!

    I second @quilteryoyo's request for costume pics @kgirlhart!

    I had my running gloves on today….but I was walking @SummerSkier, just testing them out! Was considering a run outside this afternoon when I got home but the wind was way too cold/strong for me!

    You're doing great @TheMrWobbly! That's a very respectable loss.

    When I first started running, I was so slow that I'm pretty sure many folks would question the running. Unlike me, your pace is excellent @username301!

    I lasted a bit longer watching @angf0679 but didn't make the end (though my TV was on and I saw it when it woke me woke up!) Hope you can squeak a run in tomorrow!

    A 'not the best' run is still a run @yirara! You're doing great!

    I'm sure you'll do wonderful on your race regardless of the temps! @kgirlhart! Good Luck!!

    Great running everyone.

    I didn't know they did running gloves @John772016

    I love these tempo / interval / threshold runs you all talk about. I'm still at the "left foot/right foot running" stage 😀

    Congrats on meeting your goal already @daria0919 . That is one BIG pumpkin. 😉

    Great running @John772016 . I hate having cold hands and feet.

    You're doing great @yirara . I hope you feel better quickly.

    That is hot @chris_in_cal . Yikes to the plumbing problem. I hope you were able to find someone to cut the water off and got someone out to fix it before you get home.

    58.00/80.00 mile goal

    It's been a rainy week and I'm feeling the mood change. Therefore, the hardest part of this wun was getting myself to the basement and onto the treadmill.

    I did the running portion 3/1 min of run/walk at 4.5-5.2/4.0 mph and ended with 4.5 mph. Avg pace was 12:54 min/mile. Avg HR was 129 with a max of 154 bpm.
