Last time I was on this site Phil was suffering from a fairly serious side-lining injury, so to read this is really great. WTG Phil, that's a really impressive time.
And I noticed that other people have definitely progressed (as runners, time-wise, distance-wise, or in other ways) and that also makes me happy to see. (FreeSoul - for example - you are fast now and you've become a runner in the sense in which that word is used).
But mostly, and most importantly I see how people stick with running regardless of whether they are progressing or maintaining, or whether they are fast, slow, or somewhere in between. I guess it's all about doing it because that's what you do.
Anyway, hi everyone, it's great to see a lot of you. And nice thread Dave.
Hi, Namtor. Good to see you back. How's the knee?
Zelanie, great to see you! Well, my knee is totally cured from laying off running entirely for about 2 months last summer. How is your knee?
DaveP MI, thank your for starting today's thread. HAPPY BIRtHDAY! Terrific 13.2.

Run to live; live to run
Nice job Phil !
I thought i posted? 4.2 this am then a shit ton yard yoga. My raised bed thing is 98% or so done. Plants are in. 5 cu yards of fill dirt in, plus the peat moss and top soil so over 7 cu yards of fill. I need to put a few braces in the back, add the trellis that I want and mulch. Attach the top rails over the stones. They are just sitting there but need leveled and attached.
Let et me go to tiny pics and get a pic for here. I did put a bunch on fb.

It was still 102F when I started my LR, so 16 miles with the last 8 @ MP + 10% on the TM. Hope Lily is proud!
Damaris
Hey, some tard bumped the earliest thread in this place and it got locked. How can I report the mod who did that?
This is awesome!
Yeah that's kind of why we're here.
Welcome back! Is this permanent, or just a drop-in?
Dave
I'm proud of you, my TM sister. That was one heck of a great run, Damaris! And could you spare about 20*F and send them here, please?
I ran 11 miles @ 8:24 pace. I couldn't have gone faster, or longer. I better be fully recovered from my race by tomorrow. Otherwise I'll be very angry...

I'll send you 30F. I have a lot to spare.
Marj, you do such lovely work in your garden! The transformation is amazing!

Feel free to report me, even though I didn't do it, if it makes you feel better.
I don't see a locked thread. Must be unlocked now?
