    My PT is going well here. I'm back to running 2 miles 3x a week, which is about what I had gotten myself up to before I started the therapy. My therapist likes dry needling and while it's helping, each session is getting more intense. And she says she's just getting started...

    But I found a good run club at a brewery on Monday nights. Felt much more social than the first run club I started with, so that's good.
    Awesome, hope it continues and provides a lot of help for you.

    Glad to hear your PT is going well. I was thinking of joining a running club. They seem like a lot of fun.

    There is a running group that runs near me.  Once I could tell when they generally ran / what times, I changed my routine so I wouldn't see them.  :lol:

    I prefer to run in the dark, by myself.

    The beer at the end helps me deal with running with strangers. It also helps with drinking with strangers!

    This sounds like me 😂 

    I'm still ticking over, been well trained for months now and since the last race was cancelled it's been a strange feeling just maintaining. But only 4 weeks now u til Endure24. Started to plan for pacing, predicted food stop times etc. My wife and daughter are my crew for the 24 hours which will no doubt make me very emotional once I'm in the pain cave 😂

    Getting ready for a 5k this morning....and I am amazed by the number of super shoes I see people wearing.  Seems to grow every year.  Have seen 8, so far.  Probably 250 people here so far.  
    Is this really necessary for such a short run?  
    Do others who participate in races notice this, as well?

    I've not run a 5k, but plan on doing one on 6-11. Saw alot of super shoes at my half. I use Saucony endorphin speed 2, I love them. I have the pro 2's as well and I actually find them slower. 

    Good luck on your race, what's your goal?

    Good luck with the 5K. What are super shoes? 

    I am continuing with my 4 mile runs several times a week. Nothing but I still have a resting heart rate in the 50s. So that is my main reason for running in the first place.

    Carbon plated shoes....some say it is cheating but I think they made rules about which ones could be worn during races and which couldn't.  (I think they couldn't be sponsor only shoes....they had to be available to the public.)  

    PR'd by 53 seconds.  Making my way, slowly, toward that 19:59 goal.  Today I was 23:03.  2nd for my age group (old) but the dude who beat me ran a 19.  Good for me to aim and continue working toward.  
    Very flat course.   In 2 weeks I have another but this is not flat so I will not expect to beat my time fron today.  If I can pick up a minute or two a year, I can get there (I think) before I'm just too old to be sub-20.
    I need to start working out more for my upper body.  Think that can help pick up speed, overall.

    Looked at the endorphin speed 2 and they don't have my size
      I like my fresh foams but always willing to try other stuff out.

    Just a note, I really don't like the Speed 3's, very disappointed with the changes. Don't recommend at all

    Well done mate, almost a minute off the time is not to be sniffed at!

    22 miles yesterday marks my final long run before the event in under 3 weeks time. All has gone well, it's just been a long drag since my last race was cancelled

    22 miles, awesome. 
    At a level 2 pave?  Nice and easy, consistent throughout?
    Or, did you vary it?

    I mixed it up, including a walking section to get in some food, trying to replicate what I'll be doing on the 24hr effort. Got it done in 4 so wasn't rushing.

    That's a decent chunk off your time, must make you feel positive going forward 👍

    Yeah, I believe I can get there.  (Sub 20 minute 5k)  I've heard from other that taking 9 mins off was impossible (from my first 5k in 2019 when I shared that goal) and then even as recently as this year when I told someone I came in just under 24 that 5 minutes was too much to aim for.  
    I don't listen to any of that.
    It'll be hard but I fully believe that if I continue to work, I will continue to gain.

    It is the journey, anyway, and not the destination.  My life will not get magically better when I hit this goal.
    Magically:) it already is better and will continue to improve as I work toward that goal.

    Also...I'm 50 next year so will have a shot at winning more events against 59 year Olds.  :lol:

    Exactly..it's a great goal, with plenty more goals to meet along the way. Just go for it and enjoy the ride

    Your time is impressive. I am sure you will make that goal. You are so motivated. I admire your tenacity.
