I ran 3.03M at 12'39 out at the lake today.

Nice to see you making progress…I'm out on this race. It would be fun to see some of us gathering for a race. Canada? The UK? Vegas?

My childhood friend decided about ten years ago he wanted to be an Ironman. He is somewhat active, but not overly so. Every year starting mid-summer he starts a 13-week training block. He is working full-time, family, couple of dogs, house, etc. Last night (early this morning) he finished his fourth consecutive Ironman.…

Integrity! Nice.

Great showing up @BigDfromNJ and @rennerkyler. Sounds like you are putting together back-to-back good running days @yirara I hope you've got the formula for staying healthier.

On the contrary And it actually was not the end of the world Something to be proud of. And a rare opportunity to try new things. Either way, it's all good.

I ran 5.00M at 13'22 My Garmin gave a new guestimate of my MaxHR=174bpm

Hey @tarun_yadavA visiting Panama sounds pretty amazing. Also had a bit of a careless fall in my kitchen on Friday night. Lost of my footing and fell on my back. Lower back/right side a bit sore too. It's never good timing, but I hope you are able to be loose and comfortable whilst locked into your seat for a couple hours.…

Summer in San Diego ends on Halloween. Last night it dipped down to 59° F (15° C), we're getting there. I dug out my hoodie this morning.

Hey @AlphaHowls it's good to hear from you. I ran 5.01M at 13'23 out at the beach. It's an incredible day here, about 68°F (20°C) with a cool breeze coming in off the ocean.

Hey @rennerkyler me too. I roped in three friends who all want to lose a little bit into a 20 lbs challenge. For them it is just a random 20 lbs, for me it is my last 20 lbs. I thought having other eyes on me for accountability and a clear cut goal would help me. At about a pound a week I'm shooting for the end of the…

How has your progress been on the last 25? I'm getting near my goal, and definitely am thinking about loose skin. Though as @springlering62 wrote I might be out of luck. For you at 35, it will almost certainly be an issue when you reach goal, and then over six months or so it will heal up quite a bit. As my more advanced…

For general fitness and some running you can't beat a Garmin. Please don't get a 7-10 year old one, the batteries and technology have really evolved. You can get a used FR245/255 or a Fenix 6/7 on Craigslist or FB Marketplace, Reset it. Then it will probably work fine for several years. Perhaps $100 if you get a great…

Well aren't you and Ms. Juliet going to be the stars in this month's thread. Super cute.

Ohhh…implants are big process. I hope it all works out for you @angf0679

I ran 4.01M at 12'49 out at the lake. Looks like most everyone is healing up and starting to put in some miles(kilometers) What's the fall race calendar looking like? Is anyone preping for a big upcoming race?

Hey @BigDfromNJ I'm happy to hear you got through the shot pretty easily. How is your schedule looking, which day do you think you can lace'em up and do a run?

@AlphaHowls Just knock out a marathon+ Great work!

I ran 5.34M at 14'05 out at the lake. My legs are slowly coming back to life after last Wednesday's trip to the gym.

Hello @BigDfromNJ sounds like you are a perfect fit for this thread. It's highly welcoming, interesting, and consistent. Me and another regular here got covid last month and are gently trying to put it in the rearview mirror. A beautiful thing about this thread is the consistent supportive running content. I may be the…

Welcome @nossmf I'm glad to see you are trying out adding running to your routine again.. That's great. For me running has a bunch of ups and downs depending on how my health and life are going. The best part of this group is the consistent effort each of us puts in to keep going. Some daily, some regularly, some…

This is a solid thorough explanation of all the moving parts involved. Thanks @nossmf

Irish hurricanes, eh? Are you pulling my leg here? I'm glad to hear the storm wasn't too rough on you.

Many people think I am young and handsome. 😘

October Running Goal: 35 miles 4.6 lbs.weight loss (166.7 lbs -> 162.1 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. It's starting to cool off a bit, which makes it nicer to run and sleep. I am starting off October feeling pretty good, with only lingering left shoulder issues. I'm seeing a Physical…

I ran 3.01M at 12'48 I have to figure out my monthly goal.

It was tough to keep active worrying about rebounds. I tried to use some discretion. Seems like it worked. I did a few other types of exercise that are less vigorous.

Hello @CMorning99 my niece and her family came to visit me in San Diego last weekend. Her husband works on the base too. We talked about the T-minus Ten run and he was interested, in a non-runner kind of way. I badgered him into agreeing to run it with me, then, the next day I looked and as it is "10 miles" rather than 10K…

I missed it by a country mile: 20.71 miles for September. COVID among other things. I'm fully recovered, that is a win. September Running Goal: 45 miles

Here we are @michiepickens @Kizzy_Ann @micukica @rennerkyler for the October Running Challenge. It is the beautiful thing about this thread, like Groundhog's Day, last month's runs are a memory and we all get to start again fresh in the new month's challenge. I hope to see you here for October.
