@rheddmobile I try to do virtual trail on trails. A couple times this summer I did road instead but it was hot so my time was super slow anyway. I've even done virtual road races on trail. My 10 Miler was on a tough trail that I had to hike a lot. And I did over 11 miles 🤣 I was one of the slowest but most people did it on…

Still logging. I think I forgot to add my stress chocolate Monday. Meh. Who cares. I've logfed 90%. I'm going for good enough. Still running. Strength is 2 days a week. I'd like 3 but Sundays have been run & recover. No yoga. Doing some stretching though.

I'm no longer sure of what day of the week it is any more. I know its the 13th and I have 56 miles. And a dog in my lap.

I'm not about to read 18 pages LOL I've been MIA lately. Needed a little break with some *kitten* that happened around Christmas. After yesterday's run, I am at 45 miles for January. I'm doing a race across Mexico with a friend so we need about 925 miles each in 2021. And I'm trying to prep for the Yeti Challenge in March.…

I've been MIA for a bit. I restarted yet again about 2 weeks ago and have been going strong. I just couldn't keep up with the group. I've been logging all food. Trying to stay close to my calorie goal but if I go over, oh well. *kitten* happens (that's been my motto lately). I'm also trying to get back to having one treat…

30 miles so far this month. A bit behind but last Saturday I couldn't motivate myself to run. Happens. Will make it hard it hit 124 🤷🏼‍♀️ This morning I've got a challenging 10+ miles planned. I need to get some vert so my route will give me 2k+. And tomorrow I'll do 6ish miles. Route not planned yet.

Weight was the same today as last week so at least no gain. I did go over cals like every day but I'm so hungry! I also realized I forgot to weigh in until after I had already had some coffee 🤣 Not a lot so probably didn't affect weigh in

@quilteryoyo I could be wrong but I think the symptoms fluctuation is normal. Pretty sure I've seen people say they felt great at first (hence asymptomatic spread being an issue) then after like a week they'd get symptoms, feel better, and then get it worse before getting better.

@ContraryMaryMary Those cupcakes are so cute and sound yummy! I too have recommended the trekz every where for years. I don't use them for anything but running but they are the best I've had for running.

It's finally raining here. Now I need to remember what to wear for a run in the rain 🤣🤣🤣 It's been over a year since I've had rain during a run. We either get no rain or it coin the middle of the night while I'm sleeping & cannot enjoy it.

About a year & a half ago I realized my mother is a covert narcissist. I slowly stopped communicating with her & feel much happier and less anxious all the time. I realize where many of my issues & reactions to people stem from now.

@quilteryoyo it looks like viral load is a component of how "bad" you get covid, which is why wearing masks is important. It reduces the viral load drastically. From my understanding the vaccine(s) will work this way as well so you may still get covid but it will be mild. I'm not a medical person at all so I could be…

@quilteryoyo oh no! Sending you some love and positive thoughts 🖤

@shanaber Happy Birthday! We ate at Snooze in Denver (before celiac) and it was amazing! We have a couple here and they do have gf options but we haven't been. Locations not convenient and now covid

We did a DNA test for Shadow to see what all she was. We did the basic which also told us she doesn't have the MDR1 mutation. You could pay more for additional medical stuff. 62.5% American Staffordshire Terrier 12.5% Boxer 25% A mix of other doggos

@quilteryoyo I hope it's nothing too bad. It doesn't seem like it if they said you could come in next week. Fingers crossed for you

Logged everything yesterday. Did yoga/meditation at lunch and 4 miles after work (2.2 with doggo so run, walk, run, sniff, sniff, sniff, poop, run)

@Avidkeo Thank you for thinking of your staff that have food intolerances. We appreciate it. 🖤🖤🖤

I've been increasing my mileage and working off a 50k plan right now. I was debating a 50k in March but with covid I think I'm going to just stick to virtual events. I'm going to stick with my 50k plan and figure out a way to extend it so I'm going an extra couple of months. Maybe restart it. Undecided. Just gonna try to…

I followed along on Instagram Stories. One of the brands had great coverage there.

Thanks! I started poking around the internet tonight and that seems to be everyone's advice. Apparently, towards the end, it's very hard to think! I'll be doing it with another person, although most likely virtual. She has a coach and will get more specific workouts. I figure 5 miles will take me about an hour so I'll have…

Just made 100 for the month. Pushed it this last week to get there with the last 2.5 being tonight.

Has anyone done a 24 hour challenge? I'm looking at doing the Yeti virtual 24 hour challenge so 5 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours but not sure how one trains for that? Or of you just wing it 🤣

I think @polskagirl01 raises some good points. I know this means a lot to you. Please consider everything she mentioned and if you do move forwars please have a plan for those issues. I had forgotten about the hallucinations. A podcast I listened to was talking about hers during a 100 miler. She struggled even though she…

She did go a little yesterday so feeling better. We have some butt treats (as we call them) we've been giving her. We do know about pumpkin. Our last dog had issues as he got older. We just haven't been to the store and I don't stop in for 1 thing these days.

I use gloves because my fingers go numb easily (yay autoimmune issues!) But I pocket them once I warm up. The coldest I've run in was 12 degrees. The key is layers. I can't have cold ears, hands or toes. So I always have a headband that covers my ears and gloves. The core is the part you need to keep warm. So what I did…

@Avidkeo I try for 3 days a week for about 40 minutes each time

People on social media swear by some curly girl method. My hair is no wherennear curly so I haven't paid close attention. Logged breakfast so far. Should be easy to log since I'm at the office. I don't know why it's easier here than at home 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was going to do 6 miles yesterday to hit 100. Doggo is constipated so our…

I bought a body weight program and I think I'll start it Monday as well. I'm bored with weights & dragging it all out to lift. So thought a new program may be good mentally (and I need to get back to strength training). I also got the December Yoga with Adrienne email today. I need to get back to yoga too. I've been very…

Tomorrow I start again (for the 52948461st time).
