Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays @everyone

@quilteryoyo Congratulations and great job with the race!!

@quilteryoyo Good luck tomorrow! You're going to do great!

@daria0919 @kgirlhart @quilteryoyo @martaindale @Scott6255 Thank you for your kind words. My fine wife keeps me dosed up with aspirin, and that helps. I also do some in-house crazy laps using my cane on and off, and I am getting better. While sitting here and staring at the calendar, the thought came to me that 2026 would…

I think that I am out for a while. I hurt my back and am walking with a cane. I don't know what I did but yesterday morning my balance was off and it was hard to stand. I signed up for a 5K race this Saturday and will miss that. It is a holiday-themed race and last year they had 4700 finishers. I haven't missed that race…

Walked 2.05 miles yesterday. Today was 1.14 miles. The snow is here in central New York state.

I'm in for 50 miles this month. It is mostly walking these days. 2.26 miles walking this afternoon. 30F, breezy.

I remember your comments from last year. The years seem to fly by. I ran at the field house this morning just for a change of pace. There was only one gentleman and me using the track. 9/1 - 3.06 Miles. 64F, Clear. 9/3 - 3.07 Miles. 51F, Clear. 9/5 - 3.09 Miles. a.m. 55F, Clear. 9/5 - 1.36 Miles. p.m 70F, Sunny. 9/6 - 3.08…

I was saddened to hear of @shanaber passing. I was at the lake early this morning and planned to go to the college's field house in the afternoon, but I took a nap instead. 9/1 - 3.06 Miles. 64F, Clear. 9/3 - 3.07 Miles. 51F, Clear. 9/5 - 3.09 Miles. a.m. 55F, Clear. 9/5 - 1.36 Miles. p.m 70F, Sunny. 9/6 - 3.08 Miles. a.m.…

On a whim, I went for a second run yesterday. I was stiff and sore this morning but felt better as the day went on. So I did it again today. It has turned into a Run/Walk thing but I was glad that I did it and got a couple extra miles. 9/1 - 3.06 Miles. 64F, Clear. 9/3 - 3.07 Miles. 51F, Clear. 9/5 - 3.09 Miles. a.m. 55F,…

I started running when I was 67. I had lost weight and was walking almost daily. When winter hit, my wife bought me a membership to the local college's indoor walking/running track. I was impressed with the runners and wanted to be running. So I did the C25K and was thrilled the first time I ran 5K. I ran at the lake this…

@JZ_50 Welcome. Sounds like a good plan. @shubox1 Welcome to the group. It was 3.06 miles for me today. Yesterday I ran a 5K race and wasn't as stiff as I thought I would be. In my age group, 70+, I finished 7th of 7. My friend P, in the ladies' 70+ age group, won. It's good to have a brand new month.

I'm in for 75 miles.

This month has totally fallen apart with the running. Usual excuses. I will be back here in September with things in order.

Home from the house sitting and spending the day after sleeping. I thought it would be restful. Ran 2.1 miles this morning. Re Rhonda: I watched Rhonda more than I would like to admit after seeing @AlphaHowls link. I also found this link about Rhonda:…

Good morning. I am in for 75 miles this month. I am house-sitting for a week starting tomorrow morning. So there is that. Wishing everyone a great month.

July total - 54.0 miles. Okay for me, I guess. I am looking forward to August. Goodbye July. 7/1 - 3.16 Miles. 56F, Cloudy. 7/2 - 3.12 Miles. 51F, Clear. 7/4 - 3.13 Miles. 72F, Partly Cloudy. 7/5 - 1.15 Miles. 71F, Muggy. 7/6 - 3.1 Miles. 77F, Sunny, Muggy. 7/9 - 3.20 Miles. 67F, Cloudy, Muggy. 7/11 - 4.55 Miles. 69F,…

This month has passed quickly. That song has been in my head all day. Ran at the lake again early this morning. All the regulars were there. Cooler 60F, but clear skies and little wind. It was a nice morning to be out. 7/1 - 3.16 Miles. 56F, Cloudy. 7/2 - 3.12 Miles. 51F, Clear. 7/4 - 3.13 Miles. 72F, Partly Cloudy. 7/5 -…

I ran the entire park this morning. It is just about 5 miles out and back and all of it along the lake. I ran around the marina at the end of the park to look at the expensive boats with their witty names. 7/1 - 3.16 Miles. 56F, Cloudy. 7/2 - 3.12 Miles. 51F, Clear. 7/4 - 3.13 Miles. 72F, Partly Cloudy. 7/5 - 1.15 Miles.…

This morning was the 5K race. It started at 7:15 a.m. and the temperature was already 77F with clear skies, bright sun, and killer humidity. My friend P ran the race also. And as usual, she won in the ladies 70+ age group. I finished overall 185 of 218 and 6 of 7 in the men's 70+ age group. Not my best, but I was okay with…

That is a neat idea. I wish I had thought of that. At the lake early again this morning. I saw P and we chatted about the upcoming 5K this Saturday. We run the same races and she always drives. She is the most punctual person I have ever seen. When she says she is going to pick me up, she is there exactly…

@ThatCookieGurl That is such a thoughtful tribute to your grandfather. I am sorry for your loss. @henridw2095 Welcome to the group. I would think that it is due to the loss of the feeds. If it wasn't for this group I would likely be gone. Cooler this morning at the lake. Still missing some of the regulars that show up. 7/1…

I ran at the lake this morning and was surprised at how few people were there. Just one of the regulars was there as well. 7/1 - 3.16 Miles. 56F, Cloudy.

Hello July. Sounds like great fun!! I am in for 50 miles this month. I am running a 5K race with P next Saturday.

@quilteryoyo It is never too late. I vote for you to go for it. It looks like it is going to rain soon. I am glad I went early this morning. 6/1 - 3.34 Miles. 54F, Clear. 6/3 - 3.18 Miles. 60F, Partly Cloudy. 6/5 - 3.05 Miles. 66F, Clear. Hills. 6/6 - 1.39 Miles. 68F, Partly Cloudy.

Sunny and 84F degrees. I had an odd sense of satisfaction with being miserable. 6/1 - 3.34 Miles. 54F, Clear. 6/3 - 3.18 Miles. 60F, Partly Cloudy. 6/5 - 3.05 Miles. 66F, Clear.

@BeverlyW1108 I'm 76 and still going. I feel very lucky to be able to run. My running friend P is 74. We usually do 5K races. Last year I think we did eleven. I think we plan to do a couple of longer races this year. This is a great group and we are glad you are here. There are no miles today for me. It ended up being busy…

@tarun_yadavA I hope your son is feeling better. I shall also take a nap this afternoon as an act of solidarity. Ran at the lake this morning. I saw my friend P and we had a good visit. We are running a 5K next Saturday to commemorate Fathers' Day. 6/1 - 3.34 Miles. 54F, Clear. 6/3 - 3.18 Miles. 60F, Partly Cloudy. 6/5 -…

Again I am way behind on reading the posts. I hope everyone is having a great day. 6/1 - 3.34 Miles. 54F, Clear. 6/3 - 3.18 Miles. 60F, Partly Cloudy. 6/5 - 3.05 Miles. 66F, Clear. Hills. 6/6 - 1.39 Miles. 68F, Partly Cloudy. Humid. 6/7 - 3.01 Miles. 60F, Mostly Cloudy. Saw 3 deer.
