80 miles for me last week. Did 2 track runs. One 15 miles and Saturday 27 miles. My GPS watch lies to me. It said I climbed 1000 ft on the track. Did the strava elevations adjustment and it put it to Zero where it should be.

Berylrunner- That's a great run.

im not signing up for anything either. there are two bioengineers in my circle and we had beers outside (yes masked) last night and they are not hopeful. the pfizer vaccine news is good yes but there are so many other factors. -80 freezers and how long is it good for anyway? by the time everyone gets it we may need another...or before. we cannot assume itll protect as long as the flu vaccine, in fact antibody evidence is to the contrary. there is simply no reason for the virus to abate until warmer weather. this is gonna be a long haul ppl. unless you think it's just like the flu then you can just darwin out...just dont take me with you!

44M incl today's walk. lots of dog walks too but not tracking those. i love walking in the escalantes. i can feel my feet and do a sort of meditation by focusing on what my feet are doing it puts me in the present. running too but not in the escalantes. running all over any small obstacles. anything i can find. ppl complain about not having trails or hills but there is stuff everywhere that can help for trail training except here a lot of it is camped on now but i just go around. ya sometimes someone yells at me but i havent been shot at yet, and i havent fallen or run into a tree in a long time. but why does everyone always use the flattest, easiest thing to run on? it's about effort people!

Our December race was cancelled so I guess I'm not training for anything except a race next May. Just hovering around 40 miles a week, still reporting to work every day, and trying to avoid getting covid despite living in a hot spot. I did 3 runs in new heavy wet snow this week, with the girl dog. It's amazing how much more work that is, my legs are sore from the change in running style.

The girl dog is 2 1/2 years old, so she has been running with me for over a year, and I have decided to try and get her to a marathon distance by the end of the year. Hoping for around 4 hours, but it takes time for a dog to poop and pee along the trail, adding to the time it would also take me. It does take longer than expected to give her water, and I intend to carry everything on my back. She liked Tailwind, so I'll share mine with her.

Hey all. I’m also hovering around 40 miles per week.  I’m doing a fat ass 50k in San Francisco next Sunday but that’s all I’ve got on my calendar until next July.  Anyone else buy WSER raffle tickets for the drawing on 12/5?  Someone’s going to get picked, why not me!  

63M 14.9K vert in 6 days out of 25 for the merry vertmas challenge. trying to get 2k per day. so far so good. week after next i have to work a lot so trying to get a lot in now. mostly in my neighborhood but have been driving to the base of some hills too. went to tiger mt chirico trail on wed. i thought that would be a good day/place to avoid people. nope. a lot of people on the narrow trail without masks huffing and puffing with the apparent mindset that if you are outdoors the virus cannot be spread. ironically its easier to avoid people in the city so it's lots of urban hill reps for me. maybe get back up there this week and try a different trail/area. it's interesting to think not about pace or distance but feet gained per hour. 1000'/hr is a good pace for me
