I've heard bright angel is an easier climb out over south kaibab. There's one part of bright angel that looks tough. Looks almost straight up lol

@Teresa502 which trails are you doing in your rim2rim? North & South Kaibab? Be safe. The temps are getting up there. Drink lots of water. Last July we did North Kaibab down like 3 miles? Then in October we did South Kaibab down about 3 miles. Coming out is a *kitten*.

Decided to kick off the month and global running day with a 10k. 6.2 miles out of somewhere between 80 and 100. It's a moving target.

I think my mileage will be around 80. I'd like to get 100 but I'm following a plan man. And we are taking the dog camping, off-roading, and hiking for a few days so missing a week.

71 and some change for the month. I was going to do 5k today to hit 75 but a friend I haven't seen in like a year and a half invited me to breakfast so did that instead. See you all in June!

Regular weekend here. Just an extra day to clean 🤣 I weighed in yesterday. Down my usual halfish pound. We will see how next weekend goes. The goal is to not go back up lol I ate a little more than planned yesterday. I was hungry but didn't run as much as I hoped (tired/heat). I hope to get out and do more today. Then I'll…

@quilteryoyo Ugh, oreos are so hard to resist! Great job!

So yesterday my win was I had a few calories left at the end of the day. I was slightly hungry so I wanted something. Instead of having a serving or more of ice cream, I grabbed a small bowl and mentally calculated I could have around half a serving. So I measured out a little more than half (hard to scoop exact…

Someone else mentioned that podcast and sent me the link to her Ted talk. Last summer I listened to Roar (borrowed the audiobook from library). I think I'd like to pick up an actual copy of the book someday.

4 mile tempo run with warm up and cool down for a total of 5 miles. Tempo runs are my least favorite type of workout. It's hard so you do it because to improve you need to do hard things. 54ish miles

I've struggled a bit this month and am way behind my goal. I've got about 49 miles so far. I hope to get 25ish before the end of the month to finish around 75. Next month I start virtual marathon training so gotta get my *kitten* together.

Ok, I'm crawling back again. I hope y'all will have me. I've been struggling with body image lately. I hate how I look and how clothes look. Time to start putting in the work. My diet has gotten better but still needs improvement. TIme to focus on healthy choices. I was released from PT with some exercises to continue. I…

April was all about recovery and May is getting the body & mind back into training mode. I set out this morning to do 10x400 at 9:40 to 10:00 min pace. My goal was to do what I could. If I did all 10 and nailed the paces? AWESOME. If I only did 2 and paces were off? Also AWESOME. I ended up doing 8 of 10 and nailing pace…

I remember helping with the organization for Dennis. The time difference was a huge issue. I would suggest maybe making it a weekend where people can participate anytime from say Fri-Mon. And however long they feel is appropriate. Maybe we can do a mile for each member we've lost for those of us that want specific amount.

I try to measure the same spot. I have this tiny indent (probably not the word I'm looking for) that I measure at every time. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not worried. It's just weird because it's been the same measurement for years lol

Posting so I can find later. Goal is still 100 mile club 5.10 trail run/hike with DH & doggo this morning

@alphahowls I'll tag you in it. Someone said it's in a different spot than usual. There's a link in this thread somewhere 🤣

@quilteryoyo You need to find single serve chips & dips. I do that with snacks I know I binge. If it's already portioned I do fine. If I have to portion I binge.

Ok so today's weigh in & monthly measurements... I forgot to do it when I woke up. So I realized after my coffee. Tried to empty the bladder 🤣 and weighed in anyway. I was up .1 lol I may try again tomorrow morning to see. Measurements down about a 1.5" over all measurements. My thighs went up .5" otherwise it would be 2"…

Intuitive eating: It's hard. I tend to stress/anxiety eat or eat out of boredom. I'm trying not to do those things. I feel hungry a lot so I am also working to make better choices. More fruits, vegetables, salads etc Heat: ugh, it's coming. I shouldn't complain because the mornings have been so great lately!

We have a lot of hummingbirds too. Some will dove bomb you. Scares the crap outta me. 🤣

Missed logging a few days. Got busy and forgot. I also have been only eating when hungry so I'm not too worried about if I hit calories or not. Guess we will see tomorrow when I do my weigh-in! I started doing some body-weight leg exercises this week. Still going to PT for the shoulder so no weights or upper body yet.

Ended April with 46/45. I am about 2 miles behind my year goal but I hope to make that up in May!

I love tiktok. So many creative people!

I fell down the adhd tiktok hole & I'm pretty sure I have it.

Weigh in yesterday was good. Back down to where I was to start the year. Now just need to keep it up! I've been focusing on better food choices but not depriving myself of snacks (just not eating ALL the snacks). Calorie goal seems doable now. Not too low but apparently some wiggle room as I went over a couple of days and…

Sometimes you just feel like a dumbass. Let me tell you about this morning. I had a trail race this morning. I got up, had a cup of coffee and some oatmeal, and got ready to go. I was going through my checklist: vest, bib belt, pass, wallet, phone etc and still felt like I was forgetting something. It's about a 30 minute…

Same. I can't look at a map & see/imagine anything.

I use Flonase daily but funny enough the saline spray gives me nose bleeds 🤣

Its allergies and dry air. I haven't had one in like 10 years and now I've had 2 in 2 weeks lol
