Our first mistressk photo of the season! Yay!
Today was my sixth day of running in a row. I just checked my log...I haven't been able to do that since October of last year.
Im on a roll. Might be a sausage roll.... But, it's round. 😂

Just sneaked mine in before midnight...the wife and oldest kids had tickets to Hamilton and got back around 11. But I couldn't take a "day off" on day 1, so off I went!

Hey Tom - I completely agree that this site is about more than just Triathlon. I found the site as a beginner triathlete and used the forum to learn. Triathlon ended up not being for me, so I am not on as much as I was the first year when I was asking questions and hunting down information. 100/100 is what brings be back now and then. But yeah, I completely agree.

Thanks for the motivation everyone. I’m significantly out of shape (235lbs and 6ft tall), but I did complete a run today. I might try to hit 100 runs, but just have to take things a day at a time.
I’m so out of shape that a 9:30 pace 2mi made me hit a threshold HR of 172avg 190max. Hahahaha
Cheers all -

Technically, I only said "may never". Likely won't do an OW swim, because it freaks my wife out since the surgery. So, any tris would be pool swims. Which is fine... No love lost between me and ows.
Day 2, is in the books.
I was wrong yesterday. Yesterday marked 5 in a row, and 6 out of 7 (still a first in the last 12 months) . So, today is #6.
Here's hoping for more firsts...
Santa Anna winds here in Burbank today. The hotel was rocking and rolling all night. Back home to Texas fall today. We bought a house on a lake this summer.... So, I have some decent scenery available. Nothing to rival the mistressk, but better than my usual texas farmland.

Seeing my second run in my training log (pulled from Strava) but it’s not showing up in the 100/100 challenge. It’s 2 miles, so it should be eligible. Any reason why it’s not getting picked up? Only thing I can think of is that it was a manual entry into Strava and not a data sync from a watch (forgot to wear one). Does that matter?

Was it "exactly" 2 miles? Maybe it's really 1.9999 with rounding? Just try editing the ST entry and bump the mileage up to 2.01 or something. See it that fixes it...
Otherwise..... Paging Erik...

Started today, a day late but it's all good. This is my 4th or 5th challenge I think. Happy to see the 2 mile counts this year....I really think I can hit 100 runs this year and that is my goal. The trick is to run on ski days, and the 2 mile option makes that much more likely. Here's to a healthy 100 challenge for everyone.!

Still chilly and breezy, but I balled out and ran in shorts w/2 layers of shirts [long sleeves under short sleeves] & gloves - if I can see my breath, I wear gloves

Mainly a forum lurker here, but I'm going to give this a go.
I'm far to fat, slow and generally unfit for my liking. So I'm looking to get into a more consistent, sustainable training routine than the boom and bust cycle I've been doing over the 10 years or so I've been participating (poorly) in this sport. The 100/100 concept fits very nicely with what I see myself doing over the next couple of years. The full 100 isn't on the cards yet, I'm quite sure that would end in injury for me. So I'm aiming for a bronze 70 something runs. Maybe the full 100 next year.
3 days in, 3 runs done. So I'm enjoying my temporary place close to the top of the leader board. (just don't look at my avg pace)

One hears a lot of interesting sounds out on the road at 6:30AM - birds waking up in the trees; cars/trucks/buses going down the highway about 1/2 mile distant; red-eye flights to & from PHL coming and going overhead - but this morning was accompanied by a unwavering low-frequency industrial hum, that seemed to be coming form nowhere specific but everywhere at the same time
If I had taken Rick Beato's Ear-Training Course, I could tell you exactly what note that was [I'm thinking a G-flat-minor, something]
My route this morning did not take me that way [and honestly, I never go over there], but there is a cement/gravel mill about two miles the other way from me, which certainly could've been the source
It's almost 9AM now, and it's still going --- still droning --- still whining --- still maintaining the same volume and pitch and frequency; unrelenting
