I haven't officially signed up yet, but any chance that you'd be able to run Monumental with @gruecd, @Juxtatarot, and I?

I'm not giving any real thought to what's next until sometime after a return to normalcy. And even then I'll be preparing for another wave of this thing. But I will say this - there's a full around here about the same time as Indy. If it's a choice of one or the other then I'll do Indy.
Just finished writing out a tentative plan for this virtual race series and a HM in the hills June 7. Even if that race also gets whacked I think this plan will benefit this virtual series anyway.

@gruecd is an ###. Stupid 100 pushup challenge, showing me how much I've lost these past few years.

My goal is to be > 100 push ups sometime next week. I'm going to add another exercise to the mix (Lunges/Dips/Wall Sits/Push Ups) Saturday, but haven't decided what yet. Space is somewhat quite limited in a house with three mobile small humans aged 4-9.Just in case the rest of you sallies wanna join: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_b0kFC1mPQUrzFaDpho1LSompepf0PnEvV21M2aoqN4/edit?usp=sharing

In truth, I'm not. Haven't done weights in weeks, as I left them up north. Might need to order some down here.

Yeah, wouldn't want you guys to actually have some upper body strength to help you maintain good form when you start to get tired...

I'm in. I had been doing the @belljr push up challenge before - had kind of leveled off at 30 a day. I'm up for an additional challenge! Need to also do more sit-ups and/or planking.

Ran by the same runner I see sometimes on my usual route this morning. It was 70F with a 68F dewpoint, and while I was a sweaty mess, he was running shirtless. Made me jealous. Not of how buff he was (NTTAWWT), rather that I can't run shirtless for fear of being forcibly interned in some eating disorder facility.
Can't wait until today's 70/68 weather becomes 90/85 in July... ugh.

Not that I see you ChicagoGuys run there much, but this sucks for those who do:

Wait, I thought today was gall bladder surgery? So you still need to have that done too?
Damn, you’re a mess. May have gone way too high in the draft.

Hope it went well and glad you were able to get this done at this time. Good luck on the recovery and PT!

!! ATTENTION !!
The official unofficial seeding qualifiers will be tomorrow. For every FBG Strava participant I will be taking the best 400m time from each of your runs tomorrow. If you do not have a specific .25 mile time, I will be taking your best mile and estimating from there. If you choose to not run tomorrow, you will be given a DNP. These times will be used to seed you in the official unofficial qualifiers. There is no additional information to provide at this time.
Thank you,
Management

Oh, I know. That was purely a motivational ploy deployed to ensure that #teamgrue dominates even moreso than already projected.

Yup. People just not complying. It's cool to have all those miles along the lakefront ...but that's kind of all they have. Scroll down and you'll see the "606" trail ...a converted, 3 mile rail bed that runs through the near west neighborhoods (and driving up property values). I'm in the first suburb west of the city, and I've got miles of near-empty streets all around me. Heading over the arboretum on Saturday, weather permitting.

I picked up the knee bra. A bit aggravated as the closest spot which had one was 15 minutes away, it was hidden behind a different brace on the shelf, finally found it after a few minutes of searching, got home and then saw someone stuffed a regular knee wrap in the box so had to waste another 45 minutes driving there and back and swapping it out.
Anyway, it's on, and about to go out and give it a shot. If this works, I'll forever be indebted BassNBra.
If it doesn't.......

It's probably happening most everywhere. We were among the last states to get a confirmed case, so maybe we're just delayed a bit.

Well, partial success.
The knee bra helped a little, I think. I think it stabilized it enough to keep it from worsening too much. I made it pretty tight at one point and it helped a little more but not enough to eliminate it. Just helped confirm that's likely what it is.
Good news is it wasn't that bad at all today and didn't feel it until close to a mile. Considering what it was like yesterday, I'm really thankful for that. I had no pain all day today either. I'm positive a week off will get this right.
If any of you see me post a run this week, please let me know how big of an idiot I am.

We're not allowed to park at the trailheads and I have been busy with quarter end so can't get out for a run long enough to run to the trails, so today was day two of running on roads around the house. Even ordered another pair of road shoes today. It's like I don't even know who I am anymore......
