I signed up. The ten day forecast (notoriously dodgy) is predicting 23° C (75° F) for this Turkey Trot 5K next week. 7:15 am start time - ugh!

I just watch a great YouTube vid of a guy who lost a bunch of weight over the course of one year. Then a year later he made a second video on trying to maintain his weight loss over the course of a year. It is solid and motivation. His youtube name is "HowHardIsIt" and the video is titled "How hard is it to maintain a…

I ran 6.15M at 12'19 along the waterfront at the harbor. I lightly went down in a graceful tuck and roll about an hour in and there is some slight knee and elbow abrasion.

Uh oh....they are excited.

Hey @John772016 Would love to do a 5K Turkey Trot with you @chris_in_cal, it's a truly beautiful area! Yeah, in the right time of year yours is an amazing place too. I understand. (Spoiler)

Amazing group: Lot's of Veterans, and lots of singers. (@ContraryMaryMary @nossmf)

@John772016 I'm thinking about doing a Turkey Trot there (Thursday November 27) IRL. Come on down we can run it together. https://my.neighbor.org/take-action/events/thanksgiving-5k-turkey-trot/

Yup, I had a backyard garden party to celebrate a shady deck I built on the back of my house. It was 25° C (77° F). Ending at 3:00 p.m., then an hour nap, then looking at all the dishes and mess for thirty minutes, I realized it was my usual run time….so I did. Re: Hills That's a good story @nossmf I ran one season of…

After socializing and lots of food and drink, I rallied at sunset and ran 4.25M at 16'12 out at the lake.

I predict you'll be on the podium I love being right. 😀 Great race!!! Place Name 1 @kgirlhart

Hey @kgirlhart I appreciate your modesty and I predict you'll be on the podium. Go gett'em!!!!

Welcome @Stingray101 , I am glad you are here too. It is motivating seeing all of us here working toward our monthly goals and making progress. We appreciate Jack Russell terrier pics too 😁

Your food intake is a bigger and more important factor in calorie deficit to change the numbers on the scale than working out. Work out for better overall health, strength, and well being. Adjust your food to move the scale.

I ran 1.98M at 13'19 out at the lake. I am hoping to gently get back into a good routine.

Here you are @KR8214 @_WILDECHILD_ for the November Running Challenge . It is the beautiful thing about this thread, like Groundhog's Day with memory like a goldfish, last month's runs are gone and we all get to start again fresh in the new month's challenge. I hope to see you here for November.

November Running Goal: 40 miles 4.7 lbs.weight loss gain (162.1 lbs -> 166.8 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. I signed up for an April 2026 half marathon and I'm excited its on my calendar. Sometime after the new year I'll start a sixteen week training block. Until then I am going to…

Hey @tarun_yadavA @daria0919 Hubby and I did one 7 day cruise once and the food was AMAZING! The food stations, including a lot of international cuisines were really good and the all you can eat is dangerous. I think I gained 5 pounds on that cruise. Fortunately went back to regular weight in about 3 days. When at home I'm…

@daria0919 @Teresa502 I'm so happy to hear you are going to get to meet up. Have a great race day! Also @kgirlhart has her Half coming up! Go Team Challenge Thread!

I ran 3.47M at 12'56 back at my home grounds. I'll come up with a November goal later on today.

Yesterday I ran 3.50M at 13:39 out at the nice wooded path nearby. For the month 36.7M total from a 35M goal.

I ran 3.50M at 13'21 at a smoothly paved trail through some nearby woods. It is great cool temps, windless, and after a bunch of rain everything is fresh, and all the leaves look like they're having their last gasp before fall.

Remember how I wrote that in coastal California June is the coldest month, and summer doesn't end until Halloween. 94° F (35° C) today in San Diego. BYW: I am traveling and a good neighbor contacted me about the geyser erupting at my house. Yup, I am having a plumbing fiasco at the house while I am away … that's fun.

Good job! My October goal is 35 miles. That's my goal too ... I still need to get a couple of runs in to make it. We'll see.

I ran 4.25M at 13'52 while traveling. It was cool and some of the trees have started to change colors. Beautiful.

Dear Canada, for an 11-4 win, I'm okay with a shorter run In San Diego firstly we love our country and secondly we hate the Los Angeles Dodgers. Go Jays!

San Diego has become Canada Junior. Go Blue Jays!

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.
