Today's run: 8.1 miles around campus, nice and chilly, perfect fall weather. Monthly goal: 135 miles Total: 124 miles Any fun and exciting plans for this weekend? I am taking my 2 year old monkey to her first gymnastics class tomorrow - wish me luck! :smiley:

@HonoNui thank you for sharing about your boy - he sounds absolutely wonderful! Your story is very touching <3

@RespectTheKitty Sending good thoughts and positive vibes your way! 85 miles is awesome, you are doing terrific. Hope things turn around for you soon @amymoreorless Be safe out there! Whatever you purchase for safe running - I hope you don't ever have to use it. Today's run = 8 miles on campus Monthly goal = 135 Total =…

@Iporter299 that’s really crappy…I can only imagine how disappointed you are ☹ @amymoreorless That's why my car is always full of snacks for Anya (my toddler daughter), because secretly I count on them as my "emergency food" :smiley: No run today - super busy at work, then had an hour between 3:30 and 4:30 for a run...went…

@PastorVincent Wow! That picture is amazing!!! Was that taken with a professional camera? @elise4270 Hang in there, girl! The running will be here when you are healthy enough for it. Also, I am on Strava too, but a total newbie to the app. How do I add people? @skippygirlsmom you are two miles away from your goal – you can…

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend. I was MIA for some time and here is a quick report: very busy week at work with students taking their first tests, traveling to my grandma for her 95th Birthday (!!!), and my favorite local half marathon this morning! Lot's of fun events going on in my life.…

Hello fellow runners, hope everyone is doing well. I'm just doing a quick check in and to bed I go (not even 8:30pm yet...) @skippygirlsmom your daughter is a beauty! Love all of her pictures, she is stunning! @garygse I am with you on that one - nope! No pumpkin spice hot dog for me. That just looks gross. @everyoneelse…

Hello everyone, hope you all are having a great week so far. There is no way I can catch up on everyone's post :neutral: Sorry, life is just so busy this fall! Good but busy :) Taking it easy this week as I prepare for my half marathon on Sunday. Happy running! Goal: 135 Total: 80.3 9/01 – 10 miles 9/03 – 6 miles, easy…

@katharmonic I was in this same situation when my friend and I ran Rock-n-Roll half marathon in DC. I knew I had trained a lot more and would finish the race a lot faster, but was too worried to bring it up. But my friend just brought it up herself before the race and said she'd probably drop back at some point. We…

Am I the only one who thought this reeked of sarcasm? I honestly did not take it seriously, but I can also just run without a watch, phone or any piece of technology :) In any case, what did you decide to do, @PastorVincent?

Hello everyone and happy Friday! This is my favorite day of the week and here is why. I wake up, help my husband and daughter get ready, send them to work/school and the whole day is mine :) Today's agenda is something like this: run, shower, lunch out (this is my weekly treat to myself), run some errands, clean my house…
-
@skippygirlsmom @garygse I wish I could go to bed this early! I put my wild child to bed around 8pm, which does not guarantee she'll be asleep any time soon. Then lunch prep for next day, cleaning kitchen, minor chores around the house, replying to emails, etc. - BOOM, it's 9:30 or later and I have not had a chance to just…

Quick check in before bed time (yes, going to bed at 9pm tonight :blush: ) Will try to catch up on reading everyone's post tomorrow. so try not to create another 5 pages if you can help it :wink: Goal: 135 Total: 51 9/01 – 10 miles 9/03 – 6 miles, easy afternoon run 9/04 – 7 miles 9/05 – 6 miles 9/9 – 7 miles 9/10 – 7…

@PastorVincent @JessicaMcB thanks for the kind words :smile: @katharmonic Congrats on your longest run! And I agree with @cburke8909 - you must visit the Boston Marathon finish line...for us! I personally will be waiting for a photo report :wink: @amymoreorless I completely understand your concerns about wearing a costume.…

Hello everyone! I have been afk for several days for "nobody cares to know" reasons. Finally got a run in this morning. Not sure if I will make my goal this month - September just seems to be crazy busy so far with every aspect of my life. Nonetheless, I will keep on trying :) Everyone in the hurricane zones - please, be…
-
Today was one of those days when I had to convince myself to get out there and run, but I was glad I did 5 minutes into my run. Tomorrow most likely will be a rest day or easy strength training. I think my body is trying to tell me it's time to take it easy for a day or two :) Happy 1st day of school to those of you with…

@PastorVincent The Mist born series is amazing! I only read the first book, but it was fantastic. I have the whole series on my kindle (thanks to my husband who read just about every fantasy book out there), so one day I'll get back to this series. My problem with reading - I like too many genres :) There is never enough…
-
@BrianAWeber thanks for the advice! I will definitely be checking out the audibook for The Martian. Loved the movie, so I am sure the book is 100 times better. Never miss a Monday workout! Mine was a 7 miler around the lake with sunny, breezy weather + low humidity. What else can I really ask for? Goal: 135 Total: 23 9/01…
-
@JessicaMcB Ouchy! That blister looks so painful, how are you even managing to smile? Are you doing anything special to help it heal faster? On a different note - you look fantastic! :blush: @BrianAWeber Most of the time I listen to music I purchased specifically for running; sometimes just run without my headset at all. I…

@skippygirlsmom That's exactly how I felt this morning! I love late summer / fall weather :) Glad you had a fantastic run @PastorVincent I looked up your book and I will definitely read it, as soon as I finish "We have no idea". I am milking this one, since it is so awesome and just hysterical at times. Also, you are a…

Happy eclipse day everyone! And also post-GoT day, which is always equivalent to an emotional distress for me :dizzy: Ran 4 miles today, right after the eclipse event was over. This run sucked, I hated every minute of it as it was extremely hot. This is what I get for not waking up early enough. Oh well, tomorrow is a new…
-
Hello everyone! As usual, I don't check in for 2 days and come back to 4 pages of posts :) Awesome running! I think I am on track to reach my goal for this month, but September might be more difficult as I go back to school (which is work for me, I am not that young, sadly) Keep it up, ladies and gentlemen! Goal: 120…
