Still going - will do until it's no longer possible for whatever reason. They've made sure there's extra cleaning stuff to wipe down machines and are ramping up their cleaning and I've been good at washing my hands since I got a stomach bug a couple of years ago. Can't say it's been too much quieter at the gym than usual…

Currently I'll work out at the gym, outside or at home. Depends on the activity/time of day/weather/daylight.

Kind of half and half. In the morning I'll log breakfast/lunch/sometimes dinner as I know what I'm having but will log snacks as I go along or update if I've changed my main meals for any reason.

Running!

For me it was just a matter of getting used to getting up earlier (5:45 in my case) so I could get to the gym before work. Now it's just normal/routine for me and I don't really think about it - took a few weeks to get in to the habit though.

I've been logging 5 years as of this coming weekend - around 3 and half years of that has been while maintaining. I'm not AS strict with it as I used to be but I find it helps keep me on track if I have a visual of what I have eaten so will probably be logging for a lot longer!

Hello all and hanks @shanaber for setting this up. I think my aim for November is just to get back to running regularly. October was a bit of a slow one due to illness/laziness after my first HM. Hopefully this most recent cold will go so I can breathe properly again and I can get back to a routine. Plans for 2020? I'm…

Ok, I'm giving up on keeping up with the topic this month! Around 300 posts behind. I'll do better next month - but for the last week or so of this month I'll pop in to note down my runs (currently very short runs- not been out for anything above a 5k since the half. Aiming to change that this weekend.) Hope everyone is…

I'm so behind on this - life has been slightly busier than usual! Trying to work my way through the posts - well done to everyone on their new PBs/firsts!

Just trying to catch up! Thanks to those I missed earlier who congratulated me and well done to everyone who has posted about their recent runs/races.

Thank you @kgirlhart , @zeesparrow , @Scott6255 , @hamsterwheel6 and @Tramboman And thank you @quilteryoyo ! I was just so happy to a) see the finish line and b) see that my family had been able to make it! Thanks for the link @shanaber I'm going to head over to the challenge and see if I can take any of the slots. I'm not…

Thanks @LoveyChar ! And thank you @mbaker566 - I knew it was hiding somewhere! Unfortunately I'm about a minute too late to edit. @T1DCarnivoreRunner Thank you! Done a little research but races round my way are currently a bit thin on the ground as winter is coming up. I'll find something though I'm sure!

I've finally caught up on the 170ish posts I was behind on! First up, very well done to @143tobe (x2!), @kgirlhart , @katharmonic , @rheddmobile , @hamsterwheel6 and anyone else I may have missed! Some fantastic runs there. Thank you @quilteryoyo for the well wishes - I was feeling much better by Saturday morning and…

2 days in to October and I'm already 6 pages behind! Thanks for setting it up @Elise4270 ! I'll have to try and catch up next week when things are a bit more back to normal around here. Right - goal for October is 50 miles. I'm not off to a great start on that target as I have a slight cold which has drained all my energy…

I'm about 300 posts behind and I'm not sure I'll get a chance to catch up so I hope everyone is well! I went for a run today after 12 straight days of work. It was the worst run I've probably ever had - I was more tired than I thought and had to keep stopping. I hated pretty much every minute of it which has never…

Black, half a teaspoon of brown sugar! I have at least 3 a day.

I'll have no opportunity/energy to run until next weekend now. It's annoying but I can use the overtime I get to buy more running gear :smiley: Have a great weekend everyone and good luck to anyone racing! 01 Sep - 5.6 miles (outside) 02 Sep - 2 miles (treadmill) 04 Sep - 3.3 miles (outside) 05 Sep - 1.75 miles (treadmill)…

Just popping in while I have 2 minutes to breathe!

Just popping in to update before I forget. Had a quick look through the posts (I am SO behind) and can see some people have raced this weekend - well done all. Got out for my long run today and my longest ever to date - mostly felt fine but it did feel a bit difficult mentally around the 12th km (my app currently shows km)…

Can't give any advice based on experience (my first half is just over 4 weeks away!) but I will say most people have given me the same advice as you've had above - don't start too fast, run at your pace and enjoy yourself! Good luck! :smile:

I bring in leftovers from home. Even though there are only 2 of us at home, I tend to cook enough for at least 3-4, so just freeze the leftovers and use them for my lunch at work throughout the week. Saves me a little but of money too!

Missed my morning run on Wednesday - it was raining heavily and all my wet weather gear is buried in the back of my wardrobe! Ended up making myself go out after work even though I hate…

01 Sep - 5.6 miles (outside) 02 Sep - 2 miles (treadmill) 7.6 miles of ?? Hoping to do my long run on a day off on Friday but our fridge may or may not need replacing so that will take priority!

Seeing as work will be busy this month (I work at a university so it's new student time!) I'm not setting a distance goal. My first half marathon is the first weekend in October though, so my goal in September is to run as much/often as possible in the spare time that I do have. With that in mind, rather than have a lazy…
