  • @judefit1 - sending thoughts for strength and fast recovery to both you and your sister. My FIL had surgery two months ago 9n his hip and ended up getting COVID which he then gave to my MIL and then MIL ended up in the hospital due to dehydration and other issues from COVID. You don't hear too much about COVID anymore -…

  • @judefit1 - it is just so frustrating when you do EVERYTHING right and then get the opposite intended results. And then there is me this week - eating is completely out of control - going WAY over calories every day by eating sugary junk on the sofa while watching TV - and today I somehow showed a loss on the scale. I just…

  • @7lenny7 - congratulations on getting into your ultimate goal race!! I run with quite a few people who run crazy ultras - but I have not yet had the courage to take that plunge. Excited to hear about your adventures - I find there are always some great stories on the other side of an ultra :smiley:

  • @Chapter_3 - your quote about consistency actually being adaptability really spoke to me today. I spent most of 2023 trying to "get back to myself" by shoe-horning myself into a plan that once worked for me but did not really fit my current circumstances. It worked for me before because it worked with my lifestyle. Since…

It is SO hard to navigate both holiday and…
