    Hmm. Is this sexual?
    No, just your use of the word haaard reminded me of the joke that cracked u and Westcoastgirl up...

    S3xual is an innuendo, though 😁

    Good news. I got my A1C back to normal range. No longer prediabetic. Now I can eat a few more carbs and hopefully get my weight up 5 more pounds. Once I get my weight up I will increase my running miles again. I still have to watch how many calories I burn so it’s not too many.

    Great news!
    Don't run outside this week.  I bet I lost 3-4 pounds each run and then drank it back in water all morning.  Sweat city!

    I have been running inside since it has gotten hot anyway. I will be in Costa Rica next week where it is in the 90's so I will definitely be using the treadmill at the resort gym.

    I was there in 2018 and had a great time. I can’t wait to get there. I will just beat the heat at the beach and the pool.

    Yesterday was 8 miles in the heat.  I'd find it easier to do double that in cool weather.  Quite the slog.
    This morning I did 80 minutes of treading water and then went to a 2 mile jog with the 9 yr old
    That was fun.  
    Have a 5k Wednesday night.  Going to try to PR but I expect to be at least a minute off, maybe more, with the heat and humidity.  Should be fun, regardless

    Bought a pair of trail shows. 

    Also new in-ears. Second chance. Let’s hope these are snuck.

    As I'm not training for any races at the moment I decided to do a hard effort 10k to see where I am pace-wise. 

    I was thinking around 43mins would be about right but I was closer to 46mins 😁 while this isn't suprising after the type of training and races I've done recently.... But I'm going to have some fun over the next couple of months working on it until I start my next training block.

    Also picked up some saucony triumph 20 at almost half price! They seem great, thaybe got some pop to them and feel great picking up the pace

    I've not used Saucony.  Interested to try.  I am neutral on my Hokas.  
    Big difference in distance vs speed....I bet you can chip away st that 10k time pretty quickly.

    Race on Wednesday night was OK.  So hot.  Ran a minute off pr pace, which I am pleased enough with.  My 9 yr old ran the kids race and got 3rd....

    Did a hard run on Thursday and then Friday did 90 minute water treading.  6 miles this AM and my legs fucking hate me today.  :lol:  my ankles and knees, actually.  Think the water treading was tough on them.  Going for a nice run around the lake we are staying at, tomorrow AM, with the 9 yr old.  Only a few miles, nice and easy

    Managed to get two runs in at the gym here in Costa Rica. I had planned to go today as well but it’s our last day and we booked a catamaran ride and I just don’t feel like it. I have gotten a lot of exercise walking and treading water in the ocean so I will try not to feel too guilty. Heading home tomorrow so I will be back in my usual routine this week. Hope you all are doing well.

    Getting a couple of runs in while away is a good effort, it's not easy. Were off to Disneyland Paris tomorrow until Friday and I won't run. We've just surprised our daughter for her birthday and just got over an hour of screaming and crying 😂

    Also, running while away is one of my favorite parts of travel.  It often is inconvenient, and is always a hassle (bringing gear and clothing to/fro), but i dig it.

    Sometimes it is not possible.  (Fishing camp...no land to run on!)

    Enjoy DLP! We accidentally took two unboiled eggs in a backpack on the Aerosmith acceleration extravaganza. (There's a PearlJam signed album on the wall in that line, so check that out if the ride is still there!) The eggs survived miraculously.

    Anyhow... I'm still running a bit at the creek in the mornings... yay...

    Back in my hometown for a week for vaccation. Ran with my brother (for the first time).

    I had a terrible run yesterday. I think my coming home from vacation exhaustion finally hit me. I did an excruciating 3.5 miles and called it a day. I’m doing yoga today so maybe that will help. My next run will be Saturday. Hopefully, it will be better.

    Hope so!
    Skipped a run this morning.  Didn't get to bed until almost midnight, out with the family at a game and then home for some work....and with everything else the 330 wake up wasn't going to help me today.  Think I may mow the lawns tonight - pushing the mower in the heat will get a workout in.
