finished a run, my watch said transfer failed before i even opened the garmin app, and then i got a notification from Strava that my run had posted.

It probably originally uploaded to China and they were cool enough to send it back to your Strava. I wouldn't count on that as a long term solution.

I see the Mississippi Gulf Coast half & full is open for registration and says "in-person"...

Anyone here still considering it ?

I'm still down to travel in from Houston for the half if enough people decide.

Hogbody,

They even have a 5K the day before the half/full which gives options for the TD/Strava group ...I know people are hoping to get some 2020 races in...

We could rack up some age group medals for the TD trophy case & hope someone can run 16:59 to win the whole thing for us

I'm considering the full. Houston is a month later, but I feel like I need to make up for the lack of races this year.

My back has returned to 100% and it has taught me that I really need to put more focus on my core workouts.

I foolishly signed up to run the Virtual NYC Marathon through Team for Kids. I have to fundraise $500 by Sept 30th, then run a virtual full by Nov 1. That will get me guaranteed, non complimentary, entry to a future NYC marathon in 2021, 2022, or 2023. My family really loved our trip last year and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about the race and wanting to do it again so this was a great opportunity.

Once I get my fundraising page setup, I will share with everyone. If you'd like to contribute great, if not no worries. I don't want to push it on people.

I registered for 5K & half. If it falls through I'll hope for something fair but since this has started , I almost assume my registration fees are long gone & hope for the best.

White River marathon is still on. I updated the group.

Sorry to hear that you're going through depression. As any illness or disease (not meant to stigmatize depression), it's important to treat the symptoms holistically (not holistic medicine, that's nonsense). That treatment involves therapy, exercise, and sometimes medication, hobbies, etc...

I regularly see a therapist even though I feel great, I run like a striped assed ape, because it helps me feel good even when it sometimes hurts my body, and I'm constantly looking for ways to feel fortunate/blessed. These are the methods I use to "stay in the light", if you will.

It's about repair then maintenance for me. Right now I'm in maintenance mode, have been for years, and hope to stay there.

The analogy I use is: "It's like car ownership, you still get the oil changed when the engine is running well. And the engine runs well because you are performing that maintenance".

Oh, and if you drink, stop immediately. It'll feel bad at first because you'll be forced to deal with your thoughts, but then everything will change afterwords. You'll feel better, have more energy, money, etc. I used to smoke and overdrink because it was my coping mechanism, now exercise is. Cheers, baw. Now go for a run.

My advice is try another physical activity if you don’t have the passion right now. Just get out there and do something. But don’t force it.

So ready for some cooler weather . I've been keeping my runs pretty short this summer. (3-5mi) I haven't posted in this thread in a while but just wanted to give yall baws a shoutout for the good work. I see yall putting in work on strava.

Y’all it was low/mid 60s this morning. Amazing.
