@Nkwkfld Congratulations!  How did you do in your category?

edit…I don't know if there was a race today or a training day.  Sorry for any confusion.

[Nik]

Just a solo training run. Didn’t have my hydration vest either so had to stop a couple times for water and once for a coke which tasted so so good on mile 21.

[goosehd]

probably not as good as a nice cold beer afterwards.

Ran a 5k with the local run club out of the brewery a few blocks away today.

I am bad at running    finished, but I wouldn't have won any awards.  Happy I did it though, met some cool locals, got a cool beer afterwards (brand new saison called "Catalina Wine Mixer")

I'll go back again next Wednesday

Here’s my contribution through yesterday (have a race tonight so most likely will add ~40 miles today).

Can disregard the mileage accrued on the bottom row from 87.5 left.  I’m getting 345.6 miles with those exclusions.

That's awesome @BloodnThunder

[endo]

Had a wonderful and relaxed morning ride. Adds another 60 km.

The Kiel Canal , the world's most frequented artificial waterway.

Have a good weekend everybody!

@endo Beautiful and I hope the shoulder is getting better!

[endo]

It is! Thanks @goosehd - but now it‘s the knee that hurts. 
Getting older sucks.

[Nik]

Great stuff everyone. Leaving Helsinki now having done a couple more runs. This morning I saw a group of bike packers setting out for a 600km journey.

You're  a beast !

Tomorrow’s goal:

[goosehd]

3 pounds lost (3 weeks)…slowly but surely

[Nik]

That's a significant loss, you noticing it getting around?

[tody]

@goosehd:

Tomorrow’s goal:

You're surely going to add the extra 97 meters for the half marathon, right? Depending on how early i get home from work, I'm in for it as well!

[goosehd]

@tody That’s the plan.  My personal best is 1:45 and I hope to beat it.

@Nkwkfld 3 pounds doesn’t seem to be very much 1 pound/week, but I was 187 starting out and feeling a little heavy.  My happy weight seems to be 175-180 and am hoping to get there.

[goosehd]

@tody …also hoping you can make it!  Plans are to turn up the music and zone out…might even move the machine out to the deck and row outside.  Haven’t done it before.

[BloodnThunder]

Added 136.8 miles on the bike since my last post (I’m getting 482.4 through yesterday).  Raced a few Crits on Saturday as well, below is a shot from race 1 of 2.

@BloodnThunder Congratulations!  Almost there…
