@_nikkiwolf_ thanks for reporting back on the flip belt and bottle. I will definitely pass on the bottle! And those pictures are gorgeous! The grass is so green! We have a lot of brown lawns around right now. It's pretty dry. As for my running belt and hydration options, I am thinking I will need 2 belts for different…

@MorningGhost14 I don’t think I would like to be between a snow plow and an electric fence, either. I guess your profile picture indicates the gesture you might be giving the snow plow driver. @rune1990 congrats on running your first 5km! 37 mins is a great time for your first one! @ceciliaslater that is some bruise! And…

@runner_girl83 congrats on passing your goal! And well done on the 15 km. Pleased to hear your shins are doing well! @rune1990 great story! Well done on getting out there in the cold. And almost to goal, too. You have done great this month! @JohnONE29 super! Over 200 for the month! @vandinem almost to goal as well! This is…

Surpassed my 150 km goal this morning. This is my biggest month since I got this Garmin and started recording my data on Garmin Connect (19 months ago), so I’m pretty stoked about that. It could be my biggest month ever! 10.05 km this morning @ 8:03 min/km; Av HR 130; max HR 148. It was a slow, hard run again today. Very…

@shanaber beautiful pics! Thanks for posting :)

@ddmom0811 that sounds like an awesome run! @whatang super long run! Congrats on longest distance ever. @ceciliaslater congrats on your new distance PR! (I had to convert it to km for it to make sense to me: 27 km is huge) You guys are doing great! 6.16 km this morning @ 7:54 min/km; Av HR 127; max HR 165. Really hard to…

Congrats to @Miffylou and @tweekedgirl for surpassing your goals for the month! @Virkati congrats on coming back from illness. Glad you're feeling better and getting back out there. @runner_girl83 glad your shins are ok. You are going to smash your goal this month! Run Downunder looks interesting too. @kateparry84 glad you…

I am not caught up on the thread, hope everyone is doing great. I may have more time later, but first I need to sort out all the kids' school books for back to school next week. My daughter (she is 9 and can't wait for school to go back) has been hanging out to do this for weeks, and was on me as soon as I came back from…

@9voice9 @MobyCarp @shanaber @_nikkiwolf_ : thanks for your responses! I will definitely be checking out some of those hydration belts you mentioned. @shanaber : love that you carry food and treats for the pup! @_nikkiwolf_ : I would love to hear how the flip belt and water bottle combo go.

Hey everyone, I would like to ask what people use to carry stuff in while they are out on long runs - water, phones, food, etc. I have this really old running shirt that has pockets in the back I can fit phone and snacks in, but I will have to retire it soon. And now I can't find a running shirt with pockets to replace it!…

@9voice9 Congrats on finishing your first HM! I remember during my first one having very negative thoughts around the 10-11km mark (that's only half way), thinking "why on earth am I doing this? I can't do this", etc, etc. Then I had something to eat and finished it anyway. My mind set in my 4th HM was much different. I…

@runner_girl83 Congrats on the pain free run today! Good thinking to listen to your body and overhaul your HM plan. :) @MorningGhost14 haha @ stoner girl. Good luck! They didn't look they were doing much running in the video, and man, I worry about their lungs - that's a lot of smoke! Maybe you should postpone the weed if…

@KatEmmaMarie wow - you are doing great! @kristinegift and @Elise4270 : I am just chiming in on the aches and niggles of long distance running. Who doesn’t love talking about that? So, I have never had any toe, shin, hamstring or ITB issues, but I have found that I dorsiflex excessively with my right foot, so I have been…

@zmcgrandles congrats on your long run! @Ch1psNQueso you're gonna have to up your goal!

@runner_girl83 sorry to hear about your shin pain. It's a great idea to rest and cut back mileage. Good luck with your next run. @MorningGhost14 I guess you have a good idea of how your body responds to pot to be considering the idea. I had no idea pot was used in the ultra running community, and was even considered a…

Welcome @MMillard77, we have a few Aussies here (myself included) struggling in the heat and humidity. I have taken to very early morning runs to beat the heat. I could not contemplate going out in the afternoons when the heat is so oppressive. 6.15 km easy this morning. 7:37 min/km; Av HR 125, max HR 136. Pretty muggy…

@MobyCarp congrats on the age group win in your HM! @ceciliaslater well done on the distance PR! I haven't done 15 miles yet, but it is coming later in my marathon plan. @rune1990 congrats on doing all the running bits in your plan! @juliet3455 "a bit nasty" - I cannot believe how cold it is where you are!

@runner_girl83 look at you go! Congrats on your first medal! @Virkati feel better soon! @moremonica congrats on 2 miles today!

@Virkati , @GBrady43068 , @Stoshew71 , @ceciliaslater : lol @ gangster roos. Luckily, the roos I saw were definitely laid back, aussie style roos. @skippygirlsmom : Tell Skip that Australia is a pretty nice part of the world, and I don't think I could discourage her from wanting to come live here.

6 Jan: 8.3 km run today; slow/easy. 7:49 min/km. Av HR 130; Max HR 138. Nature out in force this morning. A cyclist stopped me to warn about a snake on the path (I didn't see it when I went through, but I was looking out for it), and a mob of kangaroos behind the golf club.

@runner_girl83 - great run pushing the pram! When I had little babies, I tried running a couple of times with the pram, but found it way too hard. I was super happy to wait for hubs to get home so I could go out by myself. Love the idea of virtual running too. Something I hadn't considered yet.

January challenge total: 150km 4 Jan: 5.3km, slow/easy (7:38 min/km); Av HR 126; Max HR 136.
