Yes, need more data! Sorry, the statistician in my head kept screaming "sample size of at least 30, please", so I had to let her win and make this comment. :wink:

Well hello everyone! May I just say it and get it off my chest - you guys are chatter-boxes today :smiley: I did my best today to keep up with the posts, but I'll tell you what - it was not easy! Just when I thought I was caught up - BAM, another 25+ posts! I loved every minute of it. No run today - spend all day talking…

Here is my actual running check in. Ran 6 miles around campus after work, felt a little sluggish, but it's done. Looking forward to running tomorrow morning! I don't think I'll reach my goal this month, but considering I was sick for a week and then ran a half marathon, I'll be happy with my outcome. Goal: 135 Total: 83.1…

@zdyb23456 I am sorry to hear about your husband's deployment, but I am also relieved a little bit - I saw your earlier post about it being a sad day, but was too afraid to ask why. Thank you for your service to our great country and I'm wishing your family all the best and hoping for a safe return of your loved one. God…

@cameronheel Happy Birthday and congratulation on your amazing transformations! You are an inspiration to many people and I bet your friends and family are super proud of you.

There is always the Ironman :smile:

@WandaVaughn so exciting! I am sure you will do great, but watch out - you might get addicted to running 13.1 miles. Either way, we will be here waiting for your race report.

They also have a "sister race" in April, North-South Marathon and 10k. I am seriously thinking about signing up. It has been way too long since I ran my 26.2 miles :) Anyway, I will leave the link to their website juuuust in case... ;) http://www.gettysburgnorthsouthmarathon.com/ Gettysburg is lovely in the spring, maybe…

Thanks everyone for the kind word! This is one of the reasons why I love this group - you could be gone for days, then come back and receive nothing but support and encouragement. I <3 runners! @skippygirlsmom racing in Baltimore/Washington DC area is really expensive. Even something like 10k across the bay bridge is…
-
@hjeppley congrats on your 5k! And grats to your boy, wow! That's super impressive!
-
@mustb60 way to meet your goal already! Great running :smile:
-
I have a very similar idea of planning my runs. Most days I assume I will be running, unless my schedule is completely packed and I know for sure a run won't happen. So at the beginning of October I ran 8 days in a row, which was needed, because then I had a 5 days non-running streak. I completely understand your…
-
@MNLittleFinn congratulations! What an awesome accomplishment! I was mia this past week due to yet another insane week at work with an added benefit of being sick like a dog for most of the days. I did not run all week in order to recover for today's race, which sucked real bad because the weather was gorgeous! Oh well, I…
-
Hello everyone, just checking in real quick before I hit the hey. Took a planned rest day on Monday, just like many of you here. Started feeling under the weather on Tuesday, so I skipped my morning run, and sure enough - today I woke up with a cold :disappointed: Made it through my 9am lecture but lost my voice completely…
-
@OSUbuckeye906 damn, I am sorry to hear you weren't feeling well during the race. That just really sucks! I am super impressed you were able to finish though, good for you! Wishing you lots of health and easy recovery. You are a super woman!

-
@skippygirlsmom wow, what a mess! I will not even try to understand the level of stress you've endured. Just imagining myself in your place for a minute gave me an anxiety attack. I am glad Skip ran well though, good for her! It speaks volumes when someone can perform well under crazy circumstances. Now go rest and have…
-
Hello everyone, There is not chance of me catching up to yall's awesome posts - close to 200 new messages! I have been mia and not running :s for 5 days, so today I finally got a much needed run outside to let off steam. A little behind on getting my monthly goal, but I believe I can make up for this rough week. Will try…
-
Whew, finally caught up with all posts and have time to actually socialize a little @PastorVincent You have a lot more patience when it comes to being lost while running. I get my GPS out after about a mile or so . And 60 miles this week? That’s awesome! A rest day would not hurt though @Sarahthes Congrats on signing up…

@shanaber Awesome pictures! Welcome back home and congratulations to your girl! @skippygirlsmom Ouchy! Feel better soon! On the bright side, Skip looks like she was having a great time :) Nice and easy run around the lake this morning. Enjoying the last warm days of the fall, as I have a feeling this beautiful weather…

@garygse , @ariceroni , @BruinsGal_91 - Good luck guys! @seanevan10 congratulations on your loss! 40 pounds is super impressive. Way to go! @RespectTheKitty I agree with @PastorVincent about getting a treadmill - they are very easy to find on Craigslist for super low prices. Also, check out Freecycle - something people…

@MobyCarp thanks for the advice with Strava. Regretfully, it did not work. I might just have to uninstall Strava and then download it again. @lporter229 My husband wears sports underwear from Adidas under his running gear. It's sort of like compression shorts, but much lighter fabrics. He loves it! Nice and easy 7-miler…
-
@hjeppley 6 hours of lab? Yikes! Are you doing the lab or teaching it? Either way - that's a rough day. I've come to you all, insightful and tech-savvy runners, with a Strava related questions. I have the following issue with my Strava application: whenever I try to get to the MFP monthly challenge club, the app "kicks me…

Hello everyone. Just a quick check-in: ran easy 6.5 miles this morning, wearing ColdGear legging and long sleeve shirt - glorious! Heading to bed early tonight. Tuesdays are just rough for me this semester, or am I getting old?... Will try to catch with yall's posts tomorrow. Goal: 135 Total: 22.3 9/01 – 10.4 miles 9/02 –…
-
@skippygirlsmom ughhh, what the kittens? You don't need to be a super experienced runner to realize the coach is insane! Seriously, is he trying to get everyone injured? Good thing Skip got a smart and caring mother, I just hope other kids don't push themselves this far. Either way, lets us know what happens. Wishing…

Hello everyone and happy October 1st! Back in the post-soviet countries today is a Teacher's Day - so anyone in a teaching related field - go wild! :wink: @katharmonic congrats on PR!
