  • Yep, right there with you! I did okay thru Covid as I was able to keep my exercise routine (well, running anyway). But then I got tired of logging and I was okay giving myself a grace of 10 lbs, but then that turned into 15 and then 20 and I was like, WTH?!?! lol. I felt like a couple years ago, my metabolism was at a…

  • @martaindale -- looks like @WarmJellyfish and @daria0919 have some insight into your issue, so hopefully you can get it going soon! I will say that Garmin has some of the best support/customer service I have ever used. @Laurz9191 -- yes, I often hear that voice. However, if I have a planned route (especially if it is one…

  • That is awesome! LOL. I don't have anyone in my household/area that would be getting up early enough to take me anywhere! But, I too dislike running on the treadmill (I prefer to call it dreadmill) but I have compromised this year for my really short runs.

  • I wasn't able to get out for my long run early this morning, but I was able to get it just before noon. There was nearly a 100 ft elevation gain from the park to the subdivision I was going to run, so I chose to walk the 0.7 miles. The 7.65 mile run was also fairly hilly with almost 500 ft of elevation gain. I had a bit of…

  • Happy Monday! I'm off today for MLK and I've been delaying my morning run. I'll get bundled up and head out before lunch I'm sure. I've been keeping up on the posts, but don't like posting much from my phone. I'll post my official numbers when I'm back on a computer. The cold front came in Friday night, so I had a chilly…

  • Happy FriYay! It was above freezing this morning, so I decided to take a loop around the walking path behind our neighborhood as I had asked a couple of days ago if anyone knew if it had been cleared. I got a response in the affirmative... however, they must have just observed what I had from the road in that the part by…

  • Good morning! It has now been 11 days since we received nearly a foot of snow (~30 cm for you metric folk) and though we had a couple days above freezing, not a lot of snow melt has occurred. Streets are fine, but sidewalks and park walking paths are still pretty iffy. I was able to get a 4 mile run today in a nearby city…

I lined up with my training buddy from our running club who is a bit…

  • I have 4 half marathons starting the 1st weekend in March that are ~ a month apart, so my goal is to stay injury free. I am hopeful to PR in at least 1 of them and would ultimately like to get a sub-1:50 finish... current PR is 1:53:39. I don't recall if I have said here before, but I spent most of my youth in MN playing…
