LOL... Yeah... You must have remembered one of my old incarnations from here. I got a little fed up with Athlinks... They don't have all my race results and don't even list some races that I enter. I think they have a crappy database. The website is real wonky to use too.

I use a Garmin Forerunner 25 because I don't need any other information beyond time and distance and I exclusively use Garmin Connect to keep all my run info. I have all my runs stored there. I tried Strava twice but it drove me nuts...lol... I think I lasted three days the last time I tried it. Like someone said before,…

@midwesterner85 I was looking at your goals and miles this morning and I saw we are doing nearly identical runs. Which is cool because if I ever forget my Garmin or it dies, I can just copy off you for my mileage.

@amymoreorless LOL! If my Garmin tried pulling a stunt like that, it would be taking a dip in the toilet....

This is so true. I never put my pace down because I don't care one tiny bit what it is. I just like the discipline and the challenges of running, especially longer distances. I am slow AF and I don't give AF. I like training for races a thousand times more than running the race itself. When I do race, I start at the very…

July goal is 150 miles 7/1..... 5.00............ 5.00/145.00 7/2..... Rest............ 5.00/145.00 7/3..... 7.00............12.00/138.00 7/4..... 5.00............17.00/133.00 7/5..... 7.00............24.00/126.00 7/6..... 5.00............29.00/121.00 7/7..... Rest............29.00/121.00 7/8.....…

Welcome! 160 miles in 15 days is about 11 miles a day... I am thinking that could be a tad ambitious for a self-confessed non-runner. I have been running for about 7 years and 11 miles a day for two weeks straight without a break would damn near kill me... but then again I am old and creaky and you are young and not…

I am a divorce and custody attorney and I do a fair amount of criminal defense and juvenile work as well.

Today has suddenly become my best rest day in a long time. I just happened to be surfing online looking at trail shoes on Amazon, and saw they had the new Merrell Trail Glove 4 for $88.00 down from $100.00 so I kinda let myself dream a little and put them in my cart... and then sorta indulged myself a little more by…

@biketheworld I have wanted to do the Key West half for years, but every time I go down there I can't stay sober for more than 15 minutes.

LSD was a new one for me, too. I was thinking "That @noblsheep is a pretty crazy runner, tripping out like that while she runs. If I tried that they would find me sitting along the trail talking to ferns."

Actually, it has provided me with a great deal of entertainment... it makes for a great story....lol... With the work that I do, I deal with so much off-the-wall, stupid, gross, disturbing human behavior that your encounter seems mild and funny to me. I am so desensitized I cannot remember the last time I heard something…

Lol... while it is true that I am in recovery for many things (with varying degrees of success), I was not an Adventist. My dad was a preacher for a few years and was my only teacher from 7th to 12th grades, so while I abandoned church over a decade ago, I can hold my own theologically. Hopefully, I can articulate enough…

@RunnerGrl1982 Welcome.... and you have it figured out already... The biggest challenge here is keeping up with all the posts... It's a chatty bunch... except for me.

Well... the sabbath is Saturday, so you wouldn't be breaking any commandments or anything. You could ride with me and run your sermon past me on the way up and I know a couple of praise songs and recall some traditional hymns from my childhood. Think how quiet and relaxed we would be for this beautiful fall run in the…

As a side note, it took me a time or two to acclimate myself to running trails at night, especially solo runs. I took it slow until I felt confident to pick up the pace. I also had a tendency to keep looking into woods because I thought I was seeing things... leopards, snakes, ghosts, booby traps, zombies. Take your eyes…

I just use an inexpensive headlamp...while its true there are some tricky shadows on the trails, I don't seem to have any more difficulty with roots and rocks than I do during the day.

If you are a runner, go to Challenges and join us in the July 2018 Running Challenge... lots of fun, encouraging helpful people there...

@PastorVincent you need to skip church and do this. On that weekend my training schedule calls for 20 miles on Saturday and 14 on Sunday... I am thinking about doing the 25k distance as my Sunday run. Think about it. https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=53395

At mile 10, pretendin' the heat ain't botherin' me...

Aww... Just suck it up and run barefoot

Lol...funniest thing I've read today. Thank you... your anti-social smart-assery is a balm to my jaded, cynical soul...lol

Lol...me too. As much as I hate winter, I prefer running in frigid temps.

Whenever I think that it's too damn hot, I remember running in this at 9 degrees F, and then I STFU... lol

This^^^ This might be the healthiest, most engaging, helpful, encouraging group on MFP. I don't go any anyplace except here. Except when I disappear for lengths of time and suddenly re-appear with a re-created self. But I blame ex-wives and stalker gfs for that. :o :#

I have seen a persistent theme about having to run in the overbearing heat, but this past winter, which refused to go away, I was so disgusted (I cannot stand winter) that I swore that no matter how hot and unbearable it got I would not utter a single word of complaint about the heat this summer. So I am keeping my word…
