So sorry to hear the news @quilteryoyo . Glad you had some positives on the day. Thinking of you.

Sorry for not commenting as much as I should, likes and hugs given out where appropriate. My Feb goal is just to run regularly and not be in pain. Back is definitely on the mend though yoga is still problematic. Still, the sun is shining, somewhere - keep going folks!

Well that took some catching up. The boating was sort-off fun. 3 people on a boat who are definitely amateurs with two of them judging each other and b*tching to me about the other! The best behaved award went to the dog who was living his best life, life-jacket and all. Managed a 5k, 10k and 15k in the week and still…

Sound like a great race @martaindale and well ran by you. My taste buds are shouting at me reading about the post race meal. Many, belated, happy returns to you and @Laurz9191. Not sure I would be so keen to run on my birthday, I would spill my beer. Yesterday I ran the parkrun with a gentleman celebrating his 83rd…

You can feel like that. Feel awesome as well!

Try the 'lifestyle' treadmill. They give you a video scene to simulate a running route. Where did it give me? A busy city centre with lots of people about. At one point I was even running between the tables of a street cafe. I felt like such an **** I was tempted to stop! That cake is amazing @polskagirl01 ! It might be to…

There is a family of 6 foxes living in my garden. They have been very welcome until this week when they started digging up the lawn to practice burrowing. They have been given two weeks notice!

You are a legend @UncleMac - keep it up :smiley:

I love the way you sound out your discussion on whether to do 20 or 27 miles @7lenny7 . I have a habit of asking people questions and then saying the answer before they have a chance to even think about it. I understand the point on mileage @AlphaHowls and when I checked my year to date miles and then saw you August…

Thanks for getting the September thread going @AlphaHowls My target for this month is going backwards down to 70 miles from 80. I have a training plan for a HM in October and there is a certain amount of tapering in here. I have even added a couple of runs to suit my longer term goal to make it up to 70. Happy September…

Ahhh! Are the temps over 80 degress now? Makes a nice change from windy and rainy earlier in the year.

Hit target for the month with 2 hours to go. Always under control :* Second TM run to close it out. For part of the run their was a stomper on another machine and I found my step pattern matching theirs. I'll kick the month of with a walk after 4 consecutive running days.

Are you in Texas or has someone pee'd you off?

A bit long, but a nice nickname

Great work on the tri @Laurz9191 . That swim sounds very complicated - not what was needed! This Englishman went out for a run at midday. Fortunately it was more midday cloud than sun. Just didn't have the juice in me and called it at just over 10 miles. I postponed the long run from Sunday as we had a three day weekend…

I haven't even planted my lactate threshold! I'll pick one up at the garden centre tomorrow.

True, do you want another ice age though?

That sounds like a lot of miles in the next few weeks already. You know how you feel, as long as there are no longer term impacts I would be tempted though I am averse to losing money :# Great going on the 700 @quilteryoyo , currently struggling to hit 80 for the month! Had a good run last night fueled by anger at some…

Good morning All, if you receive a random request to allow Andrew W as a follower on Strava, that is me! @Teresa502 yes, Asics Gel Sonoma trail shoes. Figured at my current weight best to have the extra stability, and I do tend to run through woods rather than stick to tarmac alone. I wish my little pooch would look that…

Many happy returns @SummerSkier , have a great day! Breaking in a pair of shoes today, about time as they are two years old! A bit monochrome but there we are. Half way through the month though not half way through the target!

My top 5 desserts 1. Eton Mess 2. Eton Mess 3. Eton Mess... I am not a fan of chocolate which rules a lot of things out. Seeing you guys running in that heat, I can't decide if you are amazing or bonkers! I would guess a good mix :smiley: With my April marathon timeline my original plan is out the window. I am using a…

Definitely though about that motivation post @Lietchi . With my April marathon timeline I am using a garmin plan that has a half marathon in October which also means 10 miles next Sunday. This was my original plan and how far I have got: Weight Targets : Under 20st by end May '23 *Achieved* Under 19st by end Jul '23…

I have asked my family @AnnPT77 and there are no takers for the photographer role for my butt photo! Who knew ;)

Oh my word @springlering62 I was so hoping you weren't right. My body is morphing in the strangest ways. On yesterday's run I could feel the blubbery base of my butt cheeks flapping around loosely as I ran. They definitely weren't there before. It was flabulous! I was invited by a friend to run the River Adur footpath…

Hope you are having a great start to August!

I have the solution for my yoga face-planting! Get the cushions from the chairs and place them around where you land. Then, in the pose where you lie on your front and do a passive stretch of the inside of the thigh use one of the cushions, nod off for 40 minutes! Works a treat - really refreshed and I bet that muscle is…

Freudian slip there @Mari33a :smiley: Many congratulations to you both as well!

I'm a fan of AM and BP

Thank you for setting up the August thread @AlphaHowls Going to set a target of 80 miles for August. 33% up on my final total for July and means one more run than the Garmin plan. I mean really garmin, who does 78 miles in a month? Happy August everyone!

Well things have moved on a notch. I down loaded a garmin training plan for beginner to half marathon that said I was already on week 5. I think their version of beginner was somewhat different to mine! Currently doing my best to follow the plan. I ignored the 60 minute long run in the plan on the 9th July and instead did…
