I gave lots of likes and hugs (mostly hugs ;) ) on last month's thread while I was MIA. Hopefully everyone is on the mend 🙏 Started my way back with 3 miles on the TM doing 2min walk / 2min jog. Didn't feel any pain in the knee, so I am hoping that a slow ramp up will keep it happy.

@ContraryMaryMary I too started jumping rope as part of my recovery. It is a lot harder than I remember as a kid! I'm sure you are a lot better at it than me; I am very uncoordinated 😜

Thanks @AlphaHowls! Well it's been more than a month (Jan 24) since I have ran due to knee pain. But just this week I could walk without pain, so I am hopeful I can start running this month. Goal will be to run with no pain!

Hi @rusgolden! I do remember you from way back 😄 That is a great running streak you have going! @tarun_yadavA so glad your foot feels better! @Laurz9191 glad you got your passport issue worked out. I just went through that last week. But only had to travel 20 minutes to the passport office 😬 @WarmJellyfish your Asia trip…

@WarmJellyfish I too am in the over 60 category, and (knock on wood) I have been fortunate to not have many chronic aches and pains due to age. But I do have seemingly chronic lower leg aches of one type or another due to running. I do take a few supplements including Glucosamine/MSM, fish oil, vitamin E, and Super B…

@tarun_yadavA Yeah, I'll bet new shoes will help you out since you are already using custom orthotics. Fingers crossed. Or maybe the orthotics are worn out? @yirara yuck 🤮 no thank you. Hope you feel better. @Laurz9191 dang that sounds painful! Glad you turned back. I think the pain behind my knee is actually upper calf…

I was here when @KeepRunningFatboy, @MobyCarp, @PastorVincent and @shanaber all passed. I participated in all of the dedication runs to them. They all made an impact on me, and it shows how people can come together and care for one another even though we may have never met in person. I got out for 6 miles this afternoon…

Hey @TheMrWobbly 👋 good to see you back! Just to get something on the books for 2025 I did an easy 3 mi TM run this afternoon. Glad to see a lot of interest in getting a group together for a race in Texas at the end of the year 😄

Hey great to see you @katharmonic 😄 Glad you're back! @martaindale very well said for your 2025 goals. Those mirror what I was going to write. Except I want a new marathon PR. It is highly unlikely at 62, but I will train for it and see what happens.

@tarun_yadavA CONGRATULATIONS on your RTY 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪🥇 @daria0919 yes that looks like the building blocks of next year's race. @AlphaHowls just jaw-dropping mileage as ever!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a monster!!!!

@Teresa502 I looked on the website, but they still only have the 2024 race info up. Guess we will have to wait a bit for them to roll over to 2025. But VERY excited we may have a group going!!! Now I just have to get healthy...

Ok @martaindale let's do it! 🙂

Thanks @AlphaHowls for getting us started for 2025!! Good to see you back @chris_in_cal! Still hurting from behind left knee, but I think it is getting better. I attempted a few short, easy jogging steps over the last couple of days, and it didn't hurt. But after sitting for long periods of time I am limping while walking…

I'm up for College Station December 2025 or Houston Jan 2026

Oh @Avidkeo so sorry! Most of us have done things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but ended up to be a stupid decision 😪 Hope surgery goes well and you heal quickly!

Good to hear from you @chris_in_cal!

@WarmJellyfish what a race experience! 😮 Sorry you had such a rough day, but huge kudos on the effort! @quilteryoyo great race report! You put as much energy into the report as the actual race 😁 Super job! @tarun_yadavA you're so close I can taste it 😋 Hope y'all are having a great time! I think I might be done running for…

Waited for it to warm up a little. I might have gotten out of the mood or something, but it was a struggle. Went out easy but it felt really hard, and didn't get easier. But I managed to finish 10.3 miles.

Congrats @tarun_yadavA on hitting 2000 miles for the year!!!! Quite an accomplishment 🥇💪 That 'breakfast' looks a little suspect to me tho 🤒 Enjoy your vacation!

Great to hear you are pain free @ContraryMaryMary! Outdoor Christmas BBQ sounds awesome! It was a lovely evening for a 7 mile run (61F light wind) :)

@quilteryoyo love your pics. Looks like you are enjoying your post-race mini vacation :) I was able to get out this morning for a 10K. It was a pleasant 53F and no wind.

@quilteryoyo huge congrats on your 10 mile PR! Your training really paid off 👏👏💪 @tarun_yadavA sorry about your tire, but you sure are riding in style! @martaindale that run sounds brutal. Smart to stop when you did. Honored to be some of your biggest fans on Strava. And thank you to all my supporters as well ❤️ Visiting…

Safe travels @quilteryoyo! Good luck on your race this weekend!!!!! @AmunahSki I saw some activity from @chris_in_cal on Strava this morning too, so I was happy to see he is alive and kicking :) . Drop a note and let us know how you are doing Chris. Got in a nice 10K after work today as the rollercoaster weather turned…

@Teresa502 congrats on your 3rd place AG finish in your HM! Getting on the podium in great!! @emptydog sorry to hear about your back and having to DNS your race :'( I know how upsetting that can be to miss a race you do annually. @WarmJellyfish that snow LOOKS beautiful, but I sure couldn't run in it. You are made of…

6.2 miles to commemorate 62 years on the planet. Felt a lot colder than Tuesday. Guess I'm getting old 😉 (or it was the 15mph North wind) Also bittersweet, as I shared a birthday with @shanaber. Sure do miss her (and Hobbes).

@quilteryoyo Tippy looks beautiful after her spa day :) @martaindale I'm not sure when registration starts for the 2025 BCS marathon. This year's race is this weekend, so probably will open up after the race. But I'm not married to that race. I would consider doing Houston again if that was easier for you. It is a very…

8 miles to stat December. I guess I need to set a milage goal for the ticket, so I'll just say 80 miles for the heck of it.

Thank you @AlphaHowls! Hope you foot gets better soon. @tarun_yadavA 139.5 is very specific 😃 I just want to finish the year without any injuries. But seeing December on the calendar reminds me...is anyone still thinking about a marathon meetup next year? A long time ago we discussed possibly the TX group doing the BCS…

So cool @tarun_yadavA and @daria0919 met up IRL❣️ All looking good. Safe travels home. Nice Thanksgiving runs @SummerSkier @kgirlhart @Teresa502 @quilteryoyo Cold and windy (for me} but wanted to get in a longer run since I had the day off Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃

@martaindale coffee in the morning no matter if running or not is a must and non-negotiable!! @Laurz9191 yay for running without calf pain! @tarun_yadavA enjoy NYC. I have never been, and not really sad about it 😉 Got in a nice 10K after work today.
