I can't tell if she is afraid of them, wants to chase them, or if she wants to play with them, but whatever her attitude is, she pulls like heck when she sees one. Election day, so I plan on staying home the rest of the day (I already voted). Hoping there is no violence in the next coming days.

We're headed over around 1 PM and I promised my wife I wouldn't yell at anyone today. 

I'm guessing there will be some violence, especially if Harris wins, but it will be isolated and not tolerated in the least unlike four years ago.  Fingers crossed here on a lot of fronts today. 




And this is the result of the extreme polarization in modern politics. It's happened to pretty much every western democracy, including here in NZ, but from the outside looking in the US seems to be worse than most. I blame everyone being so dependant on social media for news, and heading down their own personal rabbit holes feeding you more and more extreme views of whichever way you lean.

It's not that many elections ago the thought of post voting violence would be totally unimaginable, now, it's expected. That's a sad state of affairs for everyone.

@Mike, Nice work with the Gretchenesque morning. Especially adding a little run off the bike. That's the way to sneak some run frequency into your schedule. I don't have strength scheduled in TP, but can you not tell it too look at sets/reps? That'd be a far more accurate way to measure than time I would have thought. #GreenBoxesMatter.

@Gretchen, Nice run with Purl. We don't have any deer, but there is a pony club I often run past. Our dog Charlie is the same with the horses, she's very, very excited and wants to go see the 'big dogs'. Until she gets close... then they're terrifying and wants to get away. Haha.

@Nicole, Meal Prep + Yoga + PT + down almost 20lbs. Sounds like you're killing it this week.

Me. Coaches Mike/Gretchen and Andrew can be happy. I went for a swim this morning. Just a short one as I was a bit slow leaving the house, but nice to be back in the water.

Physio last night, he continues to be happy with what I'm doing. I have permission to do some faster running, and up the overall volume a bit. But still wants me to limit to 3 runs/week to keep that recovery time. My exercises are not changing that much, moving to some single leg bridges, adding weight to squats, increasing reps and weight on calf raise. But pretty much keep doing what I'm doing. 3-4 times/week

Have a good election day guys.

Lots of activity on here, Mike competing with Gretchen, Gretchen doing just what we expect, signing up for a marathon.

Nicole doing great with the weight loss, the meal preps and all that.

Well done on finding the pool Andrew! was it full of wet water?


as for me, enjoying off season, eating well, doing some kind of BR 5 days a week, wouldn't call it training except on Wednesdays, run intervals with the club. Tonight we're doing something we haven't done since my first training with them almost 3 years ago:

Run 30 secs, stay on the same spot for 30s, run 30s, stay, etc. At the end we measure the distance we have run, which makes for amazing tempos. FUN!
