  • Finished off June in the rain. Gotta say though the difficulty ramp up between C25k W3 to W4 is pretty dramatic. I can see myself repeating W4 a few times. PSA: For anyone looking to start C25K, I do recommend the NHS's totally free program (U.K.'s National Health Service). It is avail as either stand-alone, downloadable…
  • @polskagirl01 - Fantastic race report. That part about not wanting to get beat by a bunch of guys clowning around had me in stitches. Just too funny. And I REALLY like the design of that race shirt. Congrats on a successful race. @Teresa502 - Kayaking looks like fun and a great workout. Not so sure about doing it on a busy…
  • @Tramboman - 2nd in age group & 13th in >40. That's AMAZING! You should be very proud. I wouldn't even place in the upper 50% of any race I entered, so I'm super jealous. Congrats! @shanaberHope - I really hope your recovery goes smoothly. And going forward, I think the difficulty of receiving one-on-one medical attention…
  • @Teresa502 - When it's 60F in TN but mid 80's in IL, something is very wrong. I'm jealous. @skippygirlsmom - Haven't been following his story. Burrito-gate pretty much filled my Twitter. But if I were his parents I'd be ecstatic. Talent like that guarantees a full-ride at any school in the nation. You live in AL? I once…

  • It might not be your watch. It might be the app. When I enable Location settings (i don't leave it running), I have the option to enable ONLY gps or to enable "enhanced location services" (ELS). ELS apparently uses cell towers, wifi & bluetooth beacons to improve gps accuracy. But when I enable ELS using the GoogleFit app,…
  • Supposed to be a rest day, but I needed to offset some of that merlot I drank. First time using the Nike Run Club app. It's pretty slick being coached throughout a run, although admittedly it was light on practical training advice. It offered mostly inspirational foo-foo stuff. Still, pretty slick. I just really hate…
  • PSA: Since this is a Health & Fitness forum and summer is fast approaching, I thought I'd pass this along. Recently a independant lab that tests medications for harmful substances decided to test several hundred sunscreens. They found benzene, a highly carcinogenic substance, in 27% of them. A number of products exceed FDA…
  • Runs: "Houston, we have a problem." Ground Control: "Roger. What's the issue?" Runs: "Umm, it's my sports briefs. They no longer fit." GC: "Weren't you issued super stretchy underwear?" Runs: "Yes!" GC: ??? Runs: "It appears an 85/15% (Nylon/Spandex) blend has LIMITS... limits which my buttocks now exceed!" At least my…
  • @quilteryoyo You're so right! "Last year's me" was sitting on the couch w/ an Xbox controller in one hand and a family-size bag of jalapeno potato chips in the other. Mmmmmm... jalapeno. And I'm dreading cicada season. "Hey Google, add earplugs to shopping list." @pabmac 3.1 after 10yrs off? You give me HOPE!!…
  • Honestly doubt it. Google is notorious for having the attention span of a moth, esp in regards to hardware platforms. They already let WearOS wither & die once after they lost focus. I don't see that changing. Google is filled with hotshot Devs who only like to develop shiney new stuff. They hate maintaining or…
  • @WhatMeRunning and @Teresa502 Thanks for the encouragement & advice. I don't know why I'm so apprehensive? Even if I'm unable to cleanly run 30mi, I should be able to simply WALK 3x that distance over 30 days w/o fear of keeling over. I guess it's just a fear of commitment & accountability. Ha :)
  • You want ultra-low impact on your ankles... so cycling & rowing would be top of the list.
  • I don't have a recommendation for you, but I can tell you the Fitbit Sense is now off my radar. Like you, I'm in the market for an activity tracker that could do perhaps do more (gps, HR, sleep). I was getting close to buying the Sense, and then I wandered into the Sense support/community forum. Man, this watch is a MESS.…
  • No clue as to my milage prediction b/c I'm running for time. Probably basing it off one of Garmin's beginner training plans. I guess I'm shooting for 14 active "running" days. Maybe 2 miles each? So 30 miles for the month? I'm starting from zero. Or more accurately, I suppose I'm RE-starting from zero. I basically haven't…
