There is also a feature of BT called "My Friends" that can be used to create a list of people for you. That list can be used in your security settings, in the case that you want to keep your logs a bit more private. Also, the reality of Strava is that it is a quick way to see and support others in their training efforts, but it really doesn't work as anything more than that. We've tried using it for conversation and supplemental info sharing, but it is simply cludgy. 

If you have any questions, just ask.

I've mentioned before that I've been on a podcast kick. One of the "running" podcasts that I listen to, Two Gomers, had a discussion about morning runs. In it, they talked about a Mark Twain quote which has really stuck with me -- Eat The Frog. It never fails to make me smile!

Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

Up and Vanished was kind of interesting as was S Town.

I've been listening to Mile High Endurance as well. Some of there guests are pretty good.

How about you? What besides Casefile?

Originally posted by kbhanson3 I just set up a Strava account. Been using MapMyRun/Ride/Walk/Hike/etc. up to this point but like Strava so far.

Is the race org named TAUR or something like that? If so, it is probably one of a few ways I'd do an ultra. I read a bit about them and they are ultra cool. See what I did there? "Ultra" cool. That's right folks, I'll be here all week. Tip your servers. I crack me up sometimes.

Ugh.

Originally posted by laffinrock Chris, I think TAUR is the Trail and Ultra- Running group on fb. Ultra Adventures puts on the Antelope Canyon race and a bunch of other ones in the Southwest. I did a service trip in Monument Valley organized by Ultra Adventures and their sister company, Vacation Races. They're really good people. They do the service trip to thank the Navahos who allow them to do races on tribal lands. It was an amazing trip.ETA: TJ obviously knows more than I do about the race organizers. Oops. ??

Excellent!

You can request to join the Manatees group at https://www.strava.com/clubs/manatees and we'll approve you. From there we can all find and follow you (and vice versa).

Originally posted by kbhanson3 Done. I just noticed on the Strava group page that you live in Apex. My maternal grandfather's grew up on a farm in the Apex area. I understand a lot of the area has been developed now so the farm is probably long gone.

I listened to both seasons of Serial and keep forgetting about S-Town.  I've listened to a few episodes of Histories of the Unexpected and Cycling Tips Podcast.  Oh, and a little bit of Invisibilia.

Darren, are you still managing a Trainer Road Manatee group?

Zwifters, is there such a thing a Zwift groups? Is there a Manatee group or is anyone interested in setting one up (on the off chance that you are on your trainers at the same time)?

Chris, do we still have a Bike Gallery and a Pet Gallery?

Hmm, I don't think my cold is so bad that it merits double mention   Feel better sick ones. Heal up Anne!

Originally posted by laffinrock I signed up to get emails from NPR with podcast recommendations. I've been listening to Written Inside. The episodes are short but very thought-provoking. All are written by people serving long prison sentences about life in prison.
