So a weird thing happened. Sunday night my right ankle started hurting. Like painful to walk. I was limping. I couldn't think of anything that had happened that day. I later figured out that during my Saturday run there was a spot I forgot the sidewalk was higher and came done pretty hard. I am pretty sure that was my…

I am on day two of logging! And I've been staying within my calorie goals. My next step is to actually do my strength training tonight after work. Baby steps. :smile:

@shanaber Be ware of their protection plan. We bought it and when we tried to get them to fix the cracking leather on our 4 year old couches they said it was "too much damage" and they wouldn't even refund the protection plan that we were told would cover EVERYTHING but pet damage. We conditioned the couch like they told…

I did a 2 mile time trial yesterday. The first mile I couldn't settle into a pace and it was 10:39 by the second mile I was at 10:02. Coach sent me all my paces, which are about where I have been in the past. November: 40 / 80ish I would guess? 2021: 969 / 1000

@shanaber No, we don't have any wind right now. I don't think this is a usual time for wind here.

4.1 this morning with 3 mile warm up then 6x100m. I love getting speed work in again November: 23.3 2021: 951.6 / 1000

I bought a pair of larger work pants. My.panta fit, just not well. Usually what works for me is consistency with cardio and weights. And limiting sweets. I've been eating way more sweets lately. Like shamefully a lot. I usually have a loose calorie goal and try to eat more protein to help keep me full. I get plenty of…

I really got to get back on track y'all. I've gained 2 pounds since my marathon. I either need to lose some fat or buy all new pants. I'd rather not have to buy all new pants. I am almost back to my highest (may even be there again? I can't recall my exact highest). I know what to do. But it's a struggle to actually get…

I skimmed through the posts. I've been MIA again. I don't remember when I last posted. Coach started me with strides this week. It was fun to get some speed work in. I got my booster Thursday so I was a little worried about Friday since I had a reaction to my second shot. Other than some fatigue Thursday night and overall…

Dog baths: Shadow usually gets one a month. Pibbles are known to have skin issues so we don't want to do it too often. Summer we went a little longer because she wasn't as active this year (darn weather kept DH & her from hiking up north more). @Avidkeo I'm still a work in progress on the journaling front. I definitely…

Felt great to do strides today! I haven't done any speedwork since July when I gave into the heat. 3 miles warm up, drills then 6x100. 4.15 miles total. November total 7.15

I've been lurking lately. I have not been logging, doing strength work or paying attention to my diet. I decided tomorrow is day 1 of getting back on track. I plan to log my food and do all the workouts (morning run, lunch time yoga, and evening strength session). Hopefully I can get myself motivated to do at least 2 of 3…

Not every race I've done has a medal. But I only keep shirts that either have meaning to me or tech ones that I like.

Ugh, I can't edit my post to add we actually ran the race together. Like before he realized he was age group fast. 🤣 We ran a few other races together but I told him to go ahead and leave me lol

3 miles to start the month. MTD: 3 Race shirt question: I've been running off and on since 2004 but I started racing in 2012. My first shirt is a 2012 turkey trot race at my college. I still have it because it was also my dad's first race. So it's kind of a physical memory of him (and his bday sometimes falls on…

Goal is whatever workouts my coach gives me

Got back to the trails today. 4 miles 80.27/80.22

I bought Shadow a kit on amazon that wasnt expensive. It came with a short tunnel, bar or hoop set up, and weave poles. I think it was like $65-70? I can see if I can find the link @swenson19d

Thank you @shanaber It was such a relief to finally conquer that distance. I was definitely in my head about it for a while

I forgot to weigh in this weekend. I'm sure it was bad (barely any workouts and ate all the foods). Started running today so decided to start logging again

Most of Arizona doesn't follow daylight saving time and it is awesome

2 miles this morning. Legs felt heavy so pretty slow. But yay for running again. 70.2/80.2

Floors look great! I will have to look at vinyl. I was planning to replace carpet with laminate. Our carpet is original from 2009. It's starting to show its age. Yikes to the outlet. Glad it wasn't worse!

My coach set up my runs for next week. A 12-mile week so my October goal is now 80.2 miles (previous goal was 68.2). Thank god these 2 weeks are almost up LOL

Awwwww to all the doggo photos!

Apparently I bake when not running! I made gf pretzel nuggets and cookie pie on Saturday. As well as binge walking Superstore on Hulu. One more week to go!

Hugs to @shanaber and Hobbes Hiw exciting @Avidkeo!

Yes what @shanaber said about the stinky dick lol DH usually gives those to her because the stench makes me gag

@swenson19d That's what I call it. I don't know the real name 🤣 I believe it's bull dick.

@shanaber what do you think in the pizza could be causing the issues? I love pizza and would not want to give it up either! We gove shadow pork chomps now. They use them at the shelter too. She loves them. And stinky dick. Neither appear to cause her issues. She also likes the super chewer bark box toys. She doesn't chew…
