I feel so far behind but I am reading... The clouds parted enough for me to see the eclipse on Monday to include the diamond and full for just a few seconds. It got really dark and my Purple Martins all flew into their gourds. LOL. It is just one of those once in a lifetime events which blows your mind. Hard to get back to…

@tarun_yadavA wonder if you will go past the Potomac. I used to bike from Mt Vernon thru Old Town Alexandria into DC almost daily when I lived close to the trail. It might be a good adventure for your son and you/
-
Haha... When Tarun meets up with me we are going for a RUN or WUN or something like that. Probably not this year but I know Austin will be in his travel sights (sites) one day. What is an UTE? At first I thought animal. Then maybe parked vehicle. I refuse to google it tho. LOL. Happy APril everyone. I haven't decided on my…

FInished up my 100 miles yesterday with a 5K. It is starting to get warmer and more humid again. I think yesterday's run should be call the mail man one as when I was starting out I noticed a whole PILE of mail in the curb about 100 yds down the street from my house. I keep going but the entire run I was thinking about…
-
@tarun_yadavA just one more day... hahah. sign of a true addict. It was a really nice day to run yesterday but this morning is sort of cloudy and feels like it's drippy. But tomorrow is supposed to be rainy so if some of you ahead in time zone would kindly get some running in to motivate that would be helpful. 84 out of…
-
@tarun_yadavA WOW! that is fast. We probably pretty much all share that mental condition. Super run and if that's the end of the streak you went out like a FLASssshhhhhhhHHHHHHHH🌟🌟🌟 @quilteryoyo great photos. I wonder if they were hoping for a boy tho. LOL.

you can laugh but if you ONLY knew the texas power grid you would know the fear is real...😳🙃
-
I agree @daria0919 it's really refreshing to read about all these stories and I think being active and being here are the key to a lot of the successes. thank you all for sharing and it is inspiring. Running may not be for everyone but based on the folks here I would say it is a miracle drug. 😍😍 Weather has been pretty…

I was thinking about our little group yesterday. A lot of us have "stories" and there are some amazing ones on here like Alphahowls and Tarun and others with weight loss and maintaining. I ended up being curious about how many on here still log their food daily and use MFP in that way? Personally I lost about 30 pounds in…

Love these monthly checkins! Well done!🌟🌟🌟
-
@tarun_yadavA well FLA is not that far from all of us in Texas... I vote for ROAD trip vs food carnage. 🙃😆😂
-
@laurz9191 have you considered your shoes might be the culprit? You have put a lot of miles in recently. Rainy here the past few days so got some runs in but only at 67 of 100 goal. This morning looks like it might actually not be 100% humidity. Happy Monday Everyone!
-
Finally getting into the wonderful weather for running. Not looking forward to the dark in the morning again tho tomorrow. Better charge up my flashing lights. 48 plus out of 100 goal for the month. The lower goal is allowing me to cater to my sprint and repeats whims.
-
It reminds me of the @CATs which @AlphaHowls finds as strays @kgirlhart - lived in Tx and even ABilene west Tx since 1983 and never ever heard those called that.... Of course I never lived in midland either. 2.44 miles this morning. The first part was tough due to overeating and it was HOT and threatening rain. And then…
-
I live in Texas and I still don't know what a pumpjack is. Perhaps we need to add that to the opening information. 😳😂😂
-
Not keeping up with everyone here too well so far this month but hanging in there with my running. 32.8 against goal of 100. I am not much of a trail runner Probably because I have no acls anymore and tripping and falling are really a hugely BAD idea for me at this point. Give me a nice even surface please. But I can live…
-
@AlphaHowls those are the best types of runs. But really 27 miles?!!!!!🙃
-
Page three and finally decided on a goal - 100 miles. This month I am going to focus on mixing it up. Long runs, sprints, lower heart rate runs, etc.... I see everyone is using the shamrock ticker. LOL. OK - I will play. I am also recommiting this month to my 10 min strength arm workouts. I did good July thru Jan and then…
-
WHEW! Made it. Original goal 120. Then stretch goal of 130 and then decided to try for 145 (avg 5 miles per day) It was 40s and cold wind and grey out this morning but the maths told me I had to get 5 to make my final goal. I think I need to quit moving the mark. 😳🤣 COngrats to all who stuck with us for the month and see…
-
I think one thing the group teaches you also is that 20 min of exercise per day does not need to be some heroic effort. We decided that "exercise bites" of intentional steps of other things works just as well. For me in March I want to get back to doing 10 min of weight training every other day. it adds up. So don't be…
-
thanks for posting this! I cannot recommend this challenge enough for everyone. It really encourages you to be accountable to yourself and that is one of the hardest things to learn for weight lose, health and let's face it LIFE in general. Come join us. It's harder than you might think to stick it out for the month. But…

'pull ups' your hands face away from you gripping. 'Chin ups' your hands face toward you. 🤣🤣 I am a road runner. i have no ACLs so I don't lift my knees very well and tend to stumble too much on uneven ground. Kind of why I don't like hiking in the woods much either. Well - that's probably because I might have done too…
-
3.5 before work. The sky was amazing and the moon was beautiful. That almost dawn pink and orange. My run wasn't great as my body is feeling the weekend mileage but then I never get really comfortable until after 3 miles. It's supposed to be hot today so good thing you got it in early Scott. 90 degrees!!!🥵🥵🔥 Tarun, your…
-
Well maybe I will make the stretch goal of 130 for the month. 2 long run days in a row. I think at heart I am a distance vs speed runner but sometimes it's hard to classify. I do try to change things up depending on how I feel when I get started. Some really fun reads here the past few days. My last real beach vacay was to…
-
It was HOT here today. But of course it will cool off again tomorrow. I am NOT turning my AC on yet. NO NO NO Up to 100 out of 120 or 130 stretch miles.
-
Odd.
-
Oops - forgot to update. I got some Gabipentin on Sat for the kitty and so far it has turned out to REALLY help her. I did not know it was useful for pain management in cats but apparently so. I have only seen it used for nerve pain management in humans. Anyway, she is moving a lot better and even jumped up on a few…
-
Amazing photos @AlphaHowls I think I like the 2nd one best for capturing all the wonders. I managed to find some of the Nike proto Alphafly3's to try with a lunch time sprint today and WOW. My fastest time ever for 2 miles (under a 9 min pace) which is saying a lot. Felt like i was flying. If I ever were to race i think…
-
I'm here. Just been quite busy and stressed the last few days but we all have that so no excuse. LOL After having early summer last week we are back to late fall weather but the good news is that it's not as bad as previous Feb fronts so fingers crossed. My Purple Martin scouts arrived (3) on Thursday right on schedule so…
-
Happy Sat. SUpposed to be rainy all weekend but today is at least pretty warm so will try to sneak in a run. @quilteryoyo what a hard few weeks you have had. Here's hoping the rest of the month is easier for you. @kgirlhart hope the new shoes are fast for you. Love the shoe porn! @Scott6255 sorry the Puma's did not feel…
