Thought I had posted a few times already this month but I guess I’m just fashionably late. I’m going for 30 miles this month. Can’t believe I did 100+ last year at this time especially since I only started running in November. It’s insane how much I have run this year especially since I don’t really like running but I do…

Thought I’d say hello since I haven’t been active much tho I wasn’t much before. Since I haven’t really been able to run lately I figured today would be a good day cuz it’s been about a week since I’ve tried to stay off of my knee and because PT said I don’t have stop running but he would recommend it, ran towards the end…

It’s so hard for me to walking while listening to much. My body just syncs up and all of a sudden I’m running. Lol. Currently at 51.8mi for the month. And it’s really all in thanks to the little one. He wanted to ride his bike at the park and it I decided I’d run with him since after like 10 minutes he’s over riding his…

@shanaber- summer fire season is in full swing. Today was actually the first time I could smell the smoke. My car has been covered in ash since Monday night but the smell did hit me till this morning. Definitely not a fan of the dark skies. Yesterday’s was actually pretty with the smoke covering the sun, turned everything…

Not going to set a running mileage goal but decided to follow the thread since this is the only “social” app I have on my phone and I use the word social very lightly lol. Hoping that next month I get some actual answers to my knee issue. Finally went to the doctor last week and when I explained my knee pain she stated I…

Got out of bed yesterday and my knee popped causing a tumble. Looked down and my left knee/leg was swollen as *kitten*. Attempted to wear my compression sleeve but so not possible. It looked like i was trying to fit into an xs and it’s a xxl. I can barely put any weight on my leg which is now causing pain in my right hip.…

BMI charts aren’t accurate and really shouldn’t be followed to a T. If you want a truly accurate measurement of your body fat get a dexa scan. That also measures your lean mass and bone health

6.6 miles bringing my total to 41.5

Eww!! That statement makes me want to take a shower. Lol please tell me you washed your sheets the next day at least. 4.5 miles think I might get close to making my goal. @Orphia I’m right there with your friend. I feel like an old lady the first mile of my runs. Everything just hurts and cracks, I probably look like a…

I track my fitness with the Misfit Shine2. I don’t need to know when someone texts or calls as my kid is only 6 and I don’t really like people. Lol. Tap it twice and I see my progress and the time. Tap is 3 times and it goes into my preferred activity. I choose it for the fact that I could personalize the way it looks.…

@RunsOnEspresso *kitten* desert life. lol. I lived out In the country in Kansas for a year and one night I went to go pick up my cat and saw about 10-15 black widows a few feet from my animals. I had my ex take them to a different room and then I attempted to torch them. I told my ex that if we didn’t buy a new house I…

@Elise4270 I would have screamed and ran inside to take 5 showers.

@RunsOnEspresso I had a cockroach cross my path last night and I almost broke my ankle trying not to step on it and run the opposite direction at the same time. Thankfully I've never had any in my house or close to it cuz I'd burn that house down. There are few bugs I lose my *kitten* over and if I seem them in someone's…

Well my phone is busted POS, damn thing won’t copy and paste anymore. Got in 7.6miles I think im now close 30mi for the month. Hopefully I can sleep tonight lol

@shanaber I just cleaned out the extra freezer so thankfully I do have the room and I’m on my last batch...SF Strawberry. Surprisingly I haven’t actually wanted to eat any of it. The rest of the family is in heaven, telling me their glad my education is finally paying off and that I clearly should have majored I’m baking &…

@shanaber the coyotes here are no joke. I’ve had to “slowly” run backwards to get away from a few tho most of the time I don’t think about them till I hear the howling. Lol Since everyone was talking about National Ice Cream day I decided to make some new batches. I’m on my 6th batch and I’m running out of containers. Made…

I went for a run to tire myself out and yet it’s almost 1:30 and I’m wide awake. On another note if my last mile went into today can I count that as running 2 days in a row lol. I had more I wanted to say but I’ve been on my phone for 15 minutes already and I’ve deleted what I typed about 5 times now. Clearly I’m over my…

Hoping to get a run in tonight. I was super tired this morning and since it was already 75 at 6. I walked my dog this morning and broke into a sweat in like a minute, clearly not going for a run was wise. I don’t mind being drenched in sweat when it’s cool out but when it’s hot that’s just death. Lol. So I spent my morning…

@shanaber I was just telling my family the same thing this morning as I was double checking our kits to make sure we were fully stocked.

Was going to go for a morning run before it gets hot and then I felt an earthquake and decided it would be best to stay home in case a bigger one hits and wakes the little one. Thankfully I haven’t felt any aftershocks but I clearly won’t be going back to sleep. Lol. Oh the joys of living on a fault line.

@shanaber sadly our pool always gets packed so there’s never really any room to do any laps

1 very slow mile and that will probably be it for me until next week. I about died while running and it was only 76 degrees. Running in 112 is just asking for my own funeral lol

I’m gonna go super low this month in the hopes that once I’m done with classes I’ll have the motivation to run instead of sleeping while the little one is at school. Lol. So I’m thinking 50mi

I had literally spent like a good 20 minutes searching through and making sure I tagged everyone who said something about my treadmill stupidity and I hit the wrong done button. Ugh. If I didn’t have a 3 hour silent film and paper analysis to write I would totally take the time to write it again but my paper is due by…

I no longer envy you treadmill runners and I will probably never step foot on one again. Not being able to “freely” change my pace is not fun. Lol. I was doing my warmup when my towel fell on the treadmill, totally messed up my balance and I went down and jacked myself up so horribly. Thank sweet Jesus I have a sense of…

I’m in for 70mi tho probably won’t be running for a week. Somehow I gave myself water poisoning on Sunday and I thought I had rested and restricted my fluid intake enough but after yesterday’s run I woke up this morning and it felt like I had been choked in my sleep. Went to the doctors this morning and turns out my throat…
