I would! You have a pretty fun, active running group. Also, curious to find out what you bring home😀

Oh!!!! And here I was thinking your group had an awesome White Elephant gear gift exchange/swap😂 'Tis the season!

Okay, you guilted me into it! My win is that I am back to working out post-illness. I don't get sick very often, and I'm always surprised at how much energy it zaps.

It's a glaze of ice here, so I did an indoor cross-train workout - plank challenge and eliptical. I'm using this as my off-season framework https://relentlessforwardcommotion.com/how-to-maintain-running-fitness-when-you-arent-training-for-a-race/ There are two sample week schedules, but I'm off-schedule this week. I did Sunday today, and I'll do hills tomorrow. I skipped the long run this week due to sickness. I did a mile, and then just needed to stop.

Done! Thank you - looking forward to digging in to the reading.

"But imagine not having to worry about losing your running lifestyle, being fit and health(y), able to have freedom, independence, and vitality as you get older. So you can keep up with the grandkids, take adventures, not be a burden or dependent on your loved ones." I've started reading, and this line resonates with me right away. Those are the reasons! Aside from heart attack, I can relate to every scenario you've painted. I'm on board and looking forward to getting into it more.

Hahaha! They will be few and far between. Once the road gets icy and it drops below 20, I move into the gym. But maybe the group will inspire me to get tough.
