I've eaten there before but it's been a few years ago. It's your standard sports bar. I think they had a decent beer selection and food was fine. Nothing special but serviceable.

Oh I see you in Strava. I see plenty of you on Strava, which is very helpful. I was speaking of this thread specifically. I love this thread.

Oh, I disappeared from here almost all together. Back when I first found you guys I was starting to get into shape and eventually went from about 240 all the way down to about 192 and got into the best shape I had been in since high school. But over the last 2 years, I totally fell off the wagon...

No shovel reports?

@ChiefD doesn't do trips to the farmer's market anymore?

You guys make me sad. I'm running just to run over here and get in shape but makes me sad this goes weeks without anything being posted. But what are you going to do? I have now run more this year than any year since 2022, which isn't saying much. I mean if I can keep up what I'm doing recently...

Yes. Yes they do.

Lots of ways to do it but my preferred method has always been to try to set a pace I can keep for however far I plan to go. I.e. show and steady wins the race. But that's more a preference thing. Whatever works for you.

I keep planning to add this in but haven't. Stretching some but not enough. Also want to add some body weight and kettlebell work in but haven't done so in a consistent basis yet.

My wife and I just streamed this one a week or 2 ago for some reason. Still fun.

Just noticed that you have nothing loaded on Strava for a long time. None of these "runs" count of not on there! :wink:

I have the opposite problem when I go to the indoor track - it's about the same set up with 2 lanes that designate runners to the outside, walkers to the inside but is ~11 laps per mile. When I run it instead of going outside, I often have to navigate people walking 2 wide that don't pay much...

I'd suggest you just run wherever you are comfortable running. Trails might offer a little extra cushion but also plenty of hazards. I have rolled an ankle on many a rock, root, or hole. That's no fun either.

I have seen this thread pop up in the past but not sure if I ever actually clicked on it. I'm not sure why I did today but I did and it brings a smile to my face. My dad passed away last fall about 2 weeks after his 81st birthday and almost 6 months after his 35th AA birthday. His journey...

Over the last 6 weeks I'm down about 11 lbs (237.5 to 226.4) and about 2.1% body fat (27.7% :sick: to 25.6%) as estimated by the smart scale I have at home. Lot of work to do but I'm making steady progress. Per Strava, I ran 68 slow, somewhat painful miles in the brutal heat of July. But made...
