    Thanks. I have run in drizzle before, but this was my first time in a downpour. I was in a tank top and shorts and did not get cold. I also didn't notice that my socks were soaked until I got home - so it really wasn't horrible. But wouldn't want to do it every day.

    Since we were talking running gear a few days ago, what type of headphones do you all run with. I am using Jaybird Tarah Pro. I like them since they are rated as being sweat proof and water resistant. I am not a major audiophile so the sound is good for me. You can use the app to set up your own equalizer. They are also really comfy. I used to use Bose Soundsport. I liked them, but had to replace them twice within a year under warranty. The first time they died, and the second time there was massive battery drain. The Jaybirds are way better. More comfortable as well.

    I like them ok....haven't had another pair of decent ones to compare.  They don't go quite as loud as I prefer, but that is a good thing....I generally prefer to stop just short of ear shattering.

    I have shitty low grade earbuds but really want to upgrade. Every time I look into it I find that there is some fatal flaw with every pair that otherwise seems good, so I just never go ahead and order anything. No joke, I have seriously looked at earbuds, prepared to purchase, at least six times and every time I give up and then go another few weeks until my shitty ones drive me crazy again. 

    The Jaybirds were a contender in one of my searches. Perhaps I should just go ahead and get them.

    For how much you will use them, sorta worth throwing $99 at it.
    (Just eat half as much fancy cheese next week.  :lol:)

    I don’t run with music. I prefer to be aware of my surroundings. 
    The trails we jog on are really busy with lots of bikes and pedestrians... I just feel safer being able to hear the bike bells or vocal warnings. 

    In the mornings when they are less busy and you just hear the birds it is peaceful and serene.

    I can dig that - the neighborhoods I run through a very quiet.  Need some good tunes.

    My morning run seemed so promising to start - foggy and 14oC meant it was nice and cool, and I was feeling good for the first couple of kilometres. Then disaster struck. Pain in the back of my right thigh, radiating down my leg, into my knee and down to my shin. I kept hoping that it would ease off but it really never did. I managed to finish the run but it was slow and it sucked. 

    The description sounds like sciatica but I've never had trouble with it before so it seems odd it would just strike like that without any back strain. I think it's probably a hamstring strain. When I got home I did some stretching and both hamstrings are tight, the right much more so. 

    On the bright side, the pain isn't that bad when I'm just walking around.

    Oh, I am sorry to hear that.  Stretching sounds like a great idea and if you have never had sciatica we will cross fingers for you on that one!

    I don’t think it’s sciatica. I ran some diagnostics on myself and it seems more like a hamstring issue. Lucky me!

    Hope you are feeling better @oftenreading. 

    Today I ran 5.2 miles. I am inching my way towards my 10k goal 1/10 of a mile at a time. Someday, I will get there 😊

    Saturday is my longer bike ride day. I had a two hour ride, shorter than usual both for time constraints and to make sure I didn’t further strain the muscles, and it went fine. Just a little tight at times but stretching the warmed up muscles when I got home was good. Tomorrow I’m going climbing so fingers crossed for that as I need my muscles working. 

    Inching toward a goal is still progress, and that’s all that counts!

    I walked with a friend yesterday to check out where her new apartment is located etc. So was out walking for 2 hours. Maybe I jog tonight. Otherwise that will have to do for this weekend.
