Mornin' Masters.

Good 4.5 miles on the neighborhood hills, KSA. Good prep for your upcoming hilly race.

Nice warm-up for your SMV10K, Tet, even if you cut the day's walk a little short.

Sounds like you and DW are having another great trip, Doug. Congrats on being able to trade the POS for a HJW. Were there really 1000 Buddhas?

Good 45 minutes on the bike to nowhere, Leslie. Try to contain your excitement.

Good sleeping in, PZ ride, cool-down, and strength classes and stretching, Deeze. Reading it makes me tired. Take care of that foot pain.

Norm is winging off on another trip.

It's hard, BTY, to restrain yourself (ourselves) from keeping pace with someone else when we should be going easy. It is even harder in a pool if that person is in the lane right next to you.

Good 60 minutes on the hills with TBs, Tomwhite. You've got quite an imagination when it comes to the identity of the large man...

Nice 4-mile, Dave. I've not heard of Kinomap, but have seen other programs where people have used a GoPro or something similar while on a bike to video a course.

That is kind of an important piece of info to leave out, Twocat. 10M addresses - wow!

I'm glad you got in 2.2 miles, Steve. How's the PT going?

Speaking of PT, I went yesterday for my left knee and right hamstring. The hamstring seems to be coming along nicely, but the knee is still a bit confounding, even after yesterday morning's good workout. The PT had me do some new exercises/stretches to help with the knee, and when I left, I was feeling better. However, last night, after just sitting at a workshop, my left hip and the outside of the leg down to my knee were very, very achy. I took some ibu that helped a little bit with sleeping. I got up a little late this morning, an so had time for just a short (3.5 miles) workout. With EZ racewalking, the hip behaved itself. I followed up with stretching, including the new exercises and stretches from yesterday. I couldn't do one of my regular stretches that engages the left hip, but everything else was OK. So I'll just see how everything holds together (or doesn't) today.

Have a greta Thursday.

Jay

Thanks, Jay.  I hope your knee comes around.  We are all sure prone to break-downs at our age, and you are so consistent and diligent about your self-care.   Great recap.

4.5 miles this morning- actually wore capris and long sleeves- 57 degrees and cloudy.  Off to a church thing and some other errands.  I'm impressed with everyone's workouts!

Had a 2nd birthday dinner with Ken and a friend of ours at a hibachi place.  It was wonderful.  Those places are fun and the food is good.

I would not have expected to encounter 1,000 Buddhas in Montana.  Roch - feel free to share pictures!

DH didn't go to work today since he is scheduled to get the CAT scan, so we slept in a bit and I was short on time.  40 minutes of weights and core and stretching.

Morning all.

5.2 miles for me today. Temps were around 79F with a nice breeze. It was almost cold in the shade with breeze especially sans shirt.   I had to dodge a few school buses on the first mile. Apparently roadwork and an accident on the major roads had them all detouring through neighborhood. And being Bucks County PA there is not much of a shoulder on some roads. Legs were a little heavy feeling on the on first miles but I did get a few sub 10 minute miles on run and work up a good sweat.  Not too bad for an old guy recovering from a hamstring strain.

Enjoy the day.

Good morning Masters,  I have had a few family and neighborhood issues to contend with so I was away a few days.I went out for a run in the rain this morning, 6.55 miles to ponder the situation. The mornings here are cold, high 30s to low 40s and it's tough to get out there (and have to dress up already?) but it beats the Dread Mill. Have a good one all!

Running is always my go-to method for pondering and meditation. Answers appear as if shaking a Magic 8 Ball.

PF report:

Mucho paino yesterday morning and most of the day, hardly anything this morning. I'll keep to the 1 day on, 2 days off regimen until it's "fine" the morning after a run day. 3 weeks until track meet; wondering how I'll fare doing 800m Monday and then having to do 1500m the next morning.

 The mornings here are cold, high 30s to low 40s 

Bummer!  I had thought you lived in Winnipeg, but Weather.com has the weather there today as a low of 52 and high of 75 (F).  Are you somewhere at elevation where you get colder temps than the main city?  At any rate, I was going to suggest waiting until the sun was higher so you could enjoy the warmer temps.  Winter cold will get here soon enough....

Holly, I am on the edge of the city, the outskirts, right along the TransCanada.. We have had 3 cold mornings (which for me is 7-8 AM) this week, to get my run in before traffic circulation and school buses. This morning was ok but Sunday and Monday were not. I actually waited for it to get up to 10 C (50 F) before heading out and it was almost noon. We are heading for a cold autumn and I have 3 more HMs to run, finishing Oct 15th. That's not promising... Right now it is 62 F and that may be as warm as it gets... BTW, someone hacked one of our temp stations "The Weather Channel". They still haven't got everything working again, lol. Who would want to hack a weather Station?

Twocat - now that my Xfinity seems working okay, . . . maybe, . . . sometimes. I've got you downloaded six times. . . . so far.

When I called them yesterday to update our address by adding a "1" to the apartment number to make it on the 11th floor instead of the first floor, they said that would have to close my account and reopen a brand new one which would need another representative to open a totally brand new one which, based on the underlying reason I was calling, I said. "no thank you,  I'll just let the USPS keep forwarding, at least, for their six months."

underlying reason: Xfinity text, without any explanation except an Xfinity link that was general regarding service options having nothing to do with me, that "your service is at risk of cancelation" that, after talking to two representatives who sounded, if they weren't already AI's, like that were just reading talking points, got through to another heavily accented,  hard to catch, one in Georgia but voila!, the U.S. state who said our account was already $210 over the limit in just one week of usage because, it turns out, it was a one GB account usually just used for second phones and other little used services instead of the unlimited GB one we needed and thought we were getting for DW's (and mine) Japanese programs, tiktok and, of course, the RA one I use the most but fortunately, the GA rep was able to upgrade and app the overdue amount to almost the next four months of unlimited service.  I think they should have given me free service for, at least, the next year but DW is happy so so am i, . . . I think. . . . especially since this weekend's third final fling at summer in September is supposed to touch up to 80F.  Yippee.
