Thanks guys! Sadly I'm going to abandon the attempt for this week - my running obsession is hindering other adult responsibilities!

Beer drinking
Aug 14, 2020 4:46 AM # 
MuuMuu:
Sex, drugs, rock n roll... not necessarily in that order.
Aug 15, 2020 2:44 PM # 
ljbean:
Gardening, house work, volunteer activities, my actual job. The running is not interfering with beer drinking.
Aug 16, 2020 1:28 AM #

You might be a contestant in the REAL TRUE 100/100.
100 miles and 100 beers.
It's still on my bucket list and I WILL do it yet!
I've researched different strategies.
Aug 16, 2020 10:42 PM #

14-15 beers a day?!
Aug 17, 2020 12:47 AM # 
ljbean:
That is obscene!! Definitely not a challenge for me - but I support anyone I know that wants to take it on!
I am solid for 100 oz of beer per week though.

Jarrow... that's the easy part.

Sometimes it's just fun to run A LOT, especially in your 30s (and into your 40s).

Foots....
I'm telling you, Hokas have enabled me to run again after years of plantar fasciitis. Others have had similar results.
Aug 25, 2020 11:06 PM #

Foots.... ?
Aug 26, 2020 12:57 AM #

Foots seem to be my most common threat of injury

But what did Jess mean by “Foots....”?
Aug 27, 2020 4:34 AM #

It was simply an ungrammatical feet comment. Jeez.
Trying to make you a Hoka sale.

I give Muu two more days to go low here.

No, he has matured greatly since then.
Sep 9, 2020 12:43 AM #

Ummm... did you not notice that he offered to "play with (my) moobs" just last week?

That said, I WANNA RUN 100 MILE WEEKS TOO!

I remember 100 mile weeks...
Sep 13, 2020 12:51 AM #

Good run today.
I WANNA RUN 20 MILERS TOO!
Sep 13, 2020 5:19 PM # 
Beacon:
Me, too! But it would be best if we both slowly built back up to 20 milers.
Sep 14, 2020 12:43 AM # 
ljbean:
Start building up? A mile a week?
Sep 18, 2020 11:00 PM #

I might try a 10 miler on Sunday and maybe build from there, a mile a week.
Sep 19, 2020 12:05 AM #

YES!!!
Sep 20, 2020 11:17 PM #

Couldn’t run, so walked instead. Sorry.
Sep 22, 2020 12:15 AM #

That's OK! Think it is about time for me to take a break - not running is hard.
Sep 25, 2020 1:11 AM #

I'm worried that you are going to get fat and out of shape at this rate :)

Or listen if you have more time for that?
Oct 11, 2020 1:48 AM #

I think the library has them on cd, Jess. You could listen on your trips up and down the shore. You’d like it: lots of sex and violence.
Oct 13, 2020 11:41 PM # 
ljbean:
And eating and drinking.
Oct 14, 2020 3:09 PM # 
Toivo!:
I watched one episode a couple years ago and they launched into some pretty wild sex and violence right away. It kinda turned me off to the show. Getting old and prudish I guess.

Not you, Jess!

Lesli... what time do you plan on doing Hawk's Ridge, etc.? I'd tag along if the timing is right...and if you want company.

Slowly but surely improving - maybe I'll 'end' it soon, really only sucks when driving.

Refresh my memory as to what the injury is, please.
Nov 16, 2020 12:32 AM # 
ljbean:
Central Serous Retinopathy - there is some fluid stuck over one of my retinas and it makes my vision blurry. Supposedly caused by elevated blood cortisol levels.
Nov 16, 2020 12:39 AM # 
Toivo!:
Ooooh. What can they do about it?
Here in Salida, last summer, I had an eye issue. Posterior vitreous detachment. Not too serious though.
Nov 17, 2020 12:32 AM # 
ljbean:
anything with 'detachment' sounds scary. Generally nothing is done with CSR - it just goes away after a few months. If they are concerned with retinal damage they can laser wherever the fluid comes from shut.

Back to 100/100 topic - 10 100 mile weeks in 2020 - I want to try more this year, but will it mess with my vision?!?!?! sounds like a good experiment!
