ATTQOTD: Run in just a sports bra?? Nope! No one wants to see that.
I have mixed feelings about yesterday evening.
Good - We moved the TM into the dining room and the dining table to the back porch so I can run in the AC.
Bad - Started running and it immediately started slowing down and losing power. Finally (after an hour and taking the cover off and messing around with the motor DH not me!) we figured out that it was on the same breaker as the AC in that room and wasn't getting enough amps(?) so we plugged it into a heavy duty extension cord and plugged it in in another room and it worked fine.
Good - I was finally able to run 4 miles on the TM and keep going on my plan!
Good/Bad - Someone dumped an adorable puppy out where I live and it showed up on my front porch last night. I DO NOT want a 3rd dog! She kept us up all night and I am exhausted today. Her name is now Daisy and she slept in my bed and has a vet appt. this afternoon. Sigh.
Sounds like you lost the battle to keep her before it even started: a name and sleeping with you. DH has a saying ‘don’t name the puppy’; he also will not consider a third dog...not sure why as the two we have consider him their primary person. Glad you have a safe, cool, place to do your evening runs now too.
QOTD: Keeping with our theme yesterday and also a timely suggestion from a fellow poster we have the following question. Ladies, will you run in just a sports bra if it is hot? Gentlemen, will you go shirtless? And if not, why? Do you find it offensive? Or just not for you?
ATTQOTD: I keep my shirt on because I'm way to chunky to be out public without a shirt. It shouldn't matter, but it does. Not a big deal and for those who do it, both men and women (sports bra), I am not bothered by it.
Hey everybody....long time, no talk about running.
Since I'm only doing 5's and a 10 over the next several months, I want to keep things interesting by starting some kind of run streak. I'm trying to decide between:
-A mile a day run streak.
-A 5k a day(run or walk)
-10,000 steps a day, period.
Have any of you done any streaking? The run kind, not the fun kind. And if so, which one would you recommend, and how did yours go?

OMG #peoplesuck
Do you have rescue groups that offer fostering in your area until the pup can be adopted? You could also do the fostering yourself on behalf of the rescue group.
ATTQOTD: I’ve run once in just my sports bra. My shirt was sopping wet and clinging so I pulled it off. I’ve had two kids, two c-sections and two umbilical hernia repairs so my belly may have offended some neighbors. Oh well.
ATTQOTD: I think we had a similar topic back in January...For me, I think this one goes more with the sunscreen discussion than it does with the heat discussion. If I am out on a beautiful warm/hot sunny day, I wanna take advantage of the opportunity to even out my farmer's tan. I really do love the sun, even though I am sure it will eventual catch up to me. I do sometimes feel a little self conscious, but I don't really care what others think. Why should I? And as a guy about to turn 49...again..., I certainly don't have a perfect body but since I am out there running 100-150 miles a month, I am guessing my body is a heck of alot better than whoever might be judging me. Plus, outside of getting sun, going shirtless also means less laundry and less potential chaffing.QOTD: Keeping with our theme yesterday and also a timely suggestion from a fellow poster we have the following question.
