Oh! Trail Run Project rates trails according to difficulty! That is what I was looking for. Thanks, @7lenny7! This is how it rates the trail I ran today. I will poke around the site looking for something a little more beginner friendly.

@7lenny7 Yes, they were mountain bike trails. I've run on the "easy" rated trails several times. Today was the first time venturing into the rocky/hilly more advanced trails. I know lots of road runners but no one who enjoys trail running. I am going to look around for groups. I am already a member of AllTrails so I will…

@7lenny7 It was fun! I was just surprised how much more difficult it was. It felt like going from the treadmill to the road when I first started running. Running is so much easier (and boring) on a treadmill. I think I am going to turn my Friday morning long run into a weekly trail running day. However, I am going to have…

Did someone already post this thing of awesomeness? https://youtu.be/tOzCoDvRqyk

3/1 = 10.5 miles So, I am normally not a trail runner but I decided to explore some local trails this morning. I have been pretty bored with my regular running routes. I stared out on the green beginners trail. This is what I usually stick with because I’m an epic klutz. I’m always afraid I am going to fall to my death.…

I am going to say 150 miles but might get more. It depends how how my foot/ankle holds up. I have to start doing back to back long runs to train for the Mittens Challenge in May. March Goal Miles 150 / Miles to Date = Upcoming Races: 3/9 = Zooma Texas Half 4/6 = Wanderlust Half 5/4 = Wisconsin Marathon (Mittens Challenge…

Now I want to move to London.... New Balance opens a pub, where you can exchange your miles run for pints https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/news/a26422660/new-balance-the-runaway-pub/?fbclid=IwAR0hYUigpDH49IZpq5RlLZ5lttbZxAvelfgt9rowU0VX3uBAILmHyHqLhLk

Happy NYC Marathon Lottery Eve everyone! Please cross all your fingers and toes for me. Apparently, I have less than a 15% chance....

Congrats @martaindale on the PR! Congratulations on your AG place award @rheddmobile!

@shanaber Other people can see your activity if you are in the same group (even if you are not official Strava buddies). If you click on the MFP group and the click on "recent activity" you can see the activity of everyone in the group.

Attention all amateur internet doctors! I have a foot question for you. (Yes, I am going to the real doctor. I can’t get in until next week). During my run yesterday, I started feeling a mild cramping pain on the inside arch of my right foot. It was just a niggle and it happen on the “back” part of my out-and-back run so I…

@Elise4270 RE surgery: {hugs} Ick... surgery. Sorry my virtual badass running compadre. I am glad your surgeon is a marathoner and understands / listens to you. That is so hard to find in a doctor these days.

What a cutie! I have a 16 year old “puppy aka grumpy old man” as well. Apparently, Jack Russell Terriers never grow out of “puppy”. 😂

@girlinahat {hugs}. I am over 200+(ish) posts behind so I don’t know if you posted again about feeling crappy. Chronic illness sucks. My brain and body has dealt with many health catastrophes over the years (including autoimmune issues and depression/anxiety). If you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me. :)

@greyparks206 & @RisingAboveIt - Go MFP Team B (more & less)!

Woot! Go us! :)

@shanaber Check with your local library about free genealogy resources. Our library offers free access to Ancestry.com. They also have free intro to genealogy classes and store the county’s genealogy records.

@PastorVincent Congrats!!! I just bought the ebook on Amazon and “followed” you on the weird new Amazon blog follow thingy. I love sci-fi/fantasy novels and look forward to reading it. :)

Your name is written in graffiti in space! You win the monthly challenge. That can’t be topped. ;)

@greyparks206 Congrats on the PR!!! Excellent running :) I am LOLing about the headphone jack thing. I’ve had my iPhone for a couple of years and the no-headphone jack thing is still inconvenient (and still pisses me off). I think it’s an Apple marketing ploy to make us buy more Apple brand accessories to go with our…
