Runner's support and Accountability

Great job @starbee! Nice job dealing with the dog and not kicking it too. Owners should be more conscientious.

@10dedfish that’s what I tell my wife all the time when she gets discouraged and doesn’t want to do it. It doesn’t matter how slow we are or how far we go, we are lapping everybody on the couch! And adding health to our years and hopefully years to our lives!

Stopped by a crossfit gym yesterday to talk to them about classes. It’s pricey but hopefully will give me some gains. When I pitched it to the boss last night she was less than thrilled and asked why I couldnt take a class at the y. My single biggest complaint about the Y is that they schedule the majority of the classes during the day when no one who works can attend. So I looked into the Summer schedule for the Y HIIT class, 1 day a week at 5. She seemed to come around after that.

I couldn’t handle Crossfit! Good for you! I have a friend who crushes it but I have no idea how! you’re right about the Y, all of our local classes there are during the day. Do that many people seriously not work?! Wait, I know the answer to that, in my circle of friends I’m one of only 3 women I know who work (aside from my female coworkers)

Two really good sessions in today, 45 minutes at lunch and about another 45 minutes with the wife after dinner. I was not feeling it at all on Monday but my partner and wife pushed me through. We make a good team, one pushes the other when one isn’t feeling it.

Did 3 miles this morning. A little on the chilly side, low 60’s with a 12 mph headwind.

Good job! That’s a pretty good headwind.

I have a question, does anyone use pepper spray for dogs ? I did not know what everyone does about dogs ? I love them but I’m scared of them too because I don’t know if they are friendly, I was jogging our subdivision when a dog came running after me and I freaked out, it was friendly but I did not know that

I don’t carry anything because I’ve only had it happen to me twice and the owners were nearby, just being stupid letting their dogs off leash. Pepper spray would help as Scott said for people or dogs, but you might get into a fight with the owner if you use it and they’re around, even though they’d be in the wrong people around here (my husband informs me) carry sticks but I don’t buy it. That’s a little aggressive

@starbee don’t worry about falling off for a day. Get right back on and pick it up tomorrow. No shame, no harm. You can do it!
