I ran 4.6 wearing my headlamp and noxgear vest aka blind you vest. I was able to turn off both halfway through my run though. 

Glad to see you back here more regularly! and running again! I think I'm a week away from getting out The Vest.

 

I think I'm a week away from getting out The Vest.

I am borderline. It could be any day now, but my range in start times is 5:45-6:15, which makes a big difference right now.

Ran 14 this morning. Was pretty tired but slogged through it. Picked up pace a bit for the last 5 miles which felt better. Added a little distance as tomorrow will likely be short due to work and I have my annual, except for 2020, football weekend coming up. We are heading to Boulder CO Friday morning to see the Buffs and Texas A&M on Saturday. The game is in Denver but we'll be in Boulder otherwise if anyone has recommendations for food/drink, maybe even a little running, there. I'm a little hesitant given the COVID situation but am hoping we are outdoors for the most part. I'll be masked up indoors. Also a little concerned about the altitude and how much worse it's going to make the hangover(s)!

Our power went out last night due to a storm, which didn't seem like that bad a storm, but why not. Only the 3rd time in the last few months. 

I was going to mention that my 7 day rolling total is 60.2, which is a pretty high number for me, but it pales in comparison with Baboon's totals! Awesome job, you are really killing it. I know how tired I'm feeling these days...I can't imagine 70+ weeks and 300+ months.

I've never run with TP because it's never really been an issue. But(t), for some reason, maybe old age, I've had one emergency stop this summer (first time ever) and several close calls where I wished a PoP was handy. Yesterday was a case in point as the track I was at does not have a PoP...it was a struggle at times.

I've been wearing the headlamp for the last few weeks along with my 15-20 year old reflective mesh vest thing. I could probably use an upgrade there. 

There, I'm late and I'm done

I wore a basic reflective vest for quite a while, but upgraded to the Noxgear a couple years ago and feel way safer with it. Keep an eye on their website, they'll have sales, probably when the time change happens. I did not regularly run with a headlamp, because I'm mostly in lit areas where I can see in front of me, it's just a question of ensuring I'm seen by cars. But last year I added a spot light that I clip onto the front of my vest, since there are just a few darker patches along my routes.

Seems like these things are always on sale and I don't know anyone that has paid full price for one.  That'd be like walking into Kohl's and paying full price for a pair of pants.

I was all over the place back in the day (boy do I have horror stories!) but these days, regularity could be my middle name.

I'm not sure if it's the plant based or high fiber thing or a combination of both but my business gets done before I leave my house. In 10 years of running however there have been exceptions and in those cases I use what I call the shit blast method, where you get really, really low on the delivery annnnnd GO!

wolvmar, do you go to different locations or same place? DH and some friends did similar trips for a while. They started based on some show or list about cathedrals of college football.

pretty much this. Since we are in Big Ten country, we've tried to avoid the Big Ten but did go to Wisconsin one year and Nebraska another (not really a Big 10 school!). Most of us have been to OSU (except me), Northwestern, UM, MSU on our own. We've been to most of the SEC schools, a number of the Big 12, a couple ACC. This will be our first Pac 12 (sort of, Colorado should still be Big 12) trip. Oregon and/or Washington are on the West Coast wish list but the travel time is always an issue.
