Welcome @Natalie_Ernest! You have made a wise decision to join our group! @Laurz9191 ouch! I hope that calf was just a cramp and it loosens up soon! @martaindale way to get back out there after your race. I realize you didn't do an all-out race effort, but kudos for getting out there so soon.

Yikes @daria0919 that doctor needs some bedside manners education. 😳 Hope he's exaggerating! Awesome job on your HM @martaindale! Two mountains in a race is impressive. @quilteryoyo yeah you are having a tough week. Hope next week is an improvement 🤞 @SummerSkier glad the dog didn't get loose. Poor guy had to sacrifice his…

Looks like an awesome camping spot @martaindale 😁 Best of luck tomorrow!
-
@quilteryoyo way to step up and participate in your civic duty 😀 @Laurz9191 yeah I would agree going back to work after spending all that time herding children would feel more like a vacation 😉 @ContraryMaryMary hope the game all recover quickly! 6.2 miles this evening. Pretty decent weather, 70F and no wind. Deliberately…

That is a very sweet gesture for the big sister @quilteryoyo 🥰 OMG @Laurz9191 30 days vacation PLUS 3 weeks paid by insurance for stress relief?!!!! That is absolutely outstanding!!! And totally unheard-of here in the States. 😫 I also missed Veteran's Day. Thank you @quilteryoyo and @SummerSkier and any other service men /…

Great job on your HM @kgirlhart 👏👏 2nd place AG is awesome, and yes those hills would have killed me.
-
Great way to start the day @steviebee888! @martaindale hope you are feeling better. It's weird, I am the opposite. I am never hungry after a long run. I have been totally swamped at work and can't really be bothered by social media lately. Getting up early enough to run isn't happening lately either. So I have hit the TM…
-
@daria0919 so very sorry for your loss. I know how gut wrenching it is to lose part of your family :'( @kgirlhart good luck on your HM tomorrow!

I guess I forgot to post the last couple of runs. Saturday was raining and ugly, so 6 TM. This morning Rain gone, low 60s. Very nice weather finally. Got in 6.2 miles. Took it slow and kept it easy until the last 0.2 miles.
-
Hey welcome back @Avidkeo! You sure have been busy (and missed)❣️
-
@ContraryMaryMary 😥 Yes, getting old is not fun! Can't rember the last time I ran outside AFTER work!!! It FINALLY cooled down, just in time for Halloween 👻🎃🦇 Wanted to do a very slow easy run but the demons in my head thought otherwise.
-
Thanks @AlphaHowls❣️ If I work really hard, I can hit HALF of what I did last year 😉 But I probably won't get there. So I'll shoot for 80 miles, which still may be a stretch with the holidays. Happy running y'all 😁
-
Great job on your goals and weight loss @quilteryoyo! Very happy for you. Got less than 4 hours sleep last night, in non-consecutive 1 hour increments. So could not get up and run this morning. Did 6 TM miles after work.
-
@martaindale glad to hear dr found nothing serious, but that doesn't answer any of your questions 😞 After doing 3.5 hours of yardwork a treadmill run was all I could manage. And I forgot to start my watch until after the first mile 🙄
-
How could the daycare fail with a ringer like you @quilteryoyo! 😁 That weather sounds wonderful @Teresa502. Meanwhile here in Texas we are expecting 90+ for the next few days. Got out for a 4.2 mile run this morning. Made myself go slow, and slow it was. But it still felt really hard.
-
Fantastic race @AlphaHowls! Congratulations on your 2nd place AG!

2024 Peachtree Classic 15K: For the last 9 years that I have run this race we just walked out my brother's back door and we were a few hundred feet from the start line. But he moved a couple months ago, so it is a 40 minute drive now. The weather was perfect for running, about 51F and light wind. I decided to go ahead and…
-
Thanks everyone! Brother is doing well. He is getting around pretty good on his crutches. Still in some pain, but it is mostly in the muscle that they cut in his thigh to get to his hip. He was adamant that I NOT wear his number. He thought that he would feel like an imposter or something. His doc said he probably won't be…
-
@AmunahSki about zone 5... you might have a naturally slow HR and 172 might be next to impossible for you. My resting HR used to be in the upper 30s, but as I have gotten older it has creeped into the mid-hi 40s. My zone 5 is 145 and above. So you may have to customize your zones. @polskagirl01 - nice to hear to from you…
-
Dang @martaindale I hope the doc finds something definitive and can be treated quickly! Big hugs going out to you!
-
@daria0919 oh no! Very sorry to hear that 😥 You have to do whatever you can to stay healthy. Will miss you!!!
-
Dang @tarun_yadavA what a streak you have going. Very impressive! Trying to do everything I can to get to the start line on Saturday. Calf stopped feeling tight last night, so just wanted to be safe and did a 6 mile run on the TM. Started tightening up on the last 2 miles. Worst case I will do a slow run with my niece on…
-
Congratulations on your PRs @AmunahSki!
-
@quilteryoyo glad you didn't get hurt on your fall! Way to hang in there. @Teresa502 always good to grab a pair or two of shoes when you find them on sale. But I thought you weren't a Brooks fan anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
@quilteryoyo you have a good memory..or it happens so frequently it is becoming routine. Either way, yes I did a 5 mile TM run today. Even wore a calf sleeve to support it. It felt ok
-
Oh @martaindale sorry your training cycle isn't coming together as you would like. Maybe it is accumulated stress from previous hard workouts. Or a change in diet? Really could be many things. Thanks for the hugs y'all. I'm sure I'll be fine. I have been feeling the calf tightening slightly over the past few weeks, but…
-
Happy 9th MFP anniversary @kgirlhart! That is some dedication. Went out for an easy 7 mile run this morning. Again started nice and slow, but after a mile or so I defaulted to my tempo pace. I really need to figure out how to do a complete easy run. Left upper calf starting to hurt...just in time for my race.
-
@martaindale nice job on your run even though you felt like it was not a total success. Once the weather cools, you'll be outperforming your goals I'm sure. @quilteryoyo @Teresa502 glad you are basically back to normal after the hurricane. Hope the folks in FL keep safe from the approaching Milton hurricane! I planned on…
-
@tarun_yadavA I had faith you would be able to get your run in after your Friday night drinking. Must be all the training 😉 @AlphaHowls glad you are going ahead with your race. As it happens my race is the exact same day. Got 13.1 miles this morning. Upper 60s - low 70s, pretty warm, but I suppose it could have been worse.…

@AmunahSki I bought a used treadmill off of Facebook Marketplace. Figured I would use it during cold/rainy days in the winter, but I found I use it much more in the summer. It is nice to have a fallback. It was one of the best purchases I have made. I was thinking about my upcoming race, and I MIGHT run for my brother…
