<p>Wow! Good for you!</p>
<p>HormOne done. Copper mine trail. Found keeper of stray ladies.</p>
<p>Tent up. Prime rib and single malt for dinner.</p>
<p>Tablet typing is hard.</p>
<p>Are you trying to write haiku there, I-dad?</p>
<p>Rest day - spend the evening gardening and a nice walk with Poochie. Tomorrow I need to wrap up my July RunKeeper goal - I should make it!!! Signed up for another 5k today Sept 1st. That makes one August 24 and one a week later - should be no problem especially since the first one is a novelty 5k with dance breaks at each mile. :)</p>
<p>IDad- good to hear from you. How are you eating prime rib in a tent?</p>
<p>AlterG- one of my really fast female running friends has spent a LOT of time on one rehabbing from injuries and loves it.</p>
<p>Restaurant dinner. Roughing it.</p>
<p>Tom, your workouts are starting to look like my workouts…
idad-- have fun on your adventure, stay safe.
saba-- sounds like things are really working for you.
NMinn- sorry about the knee. Injuries, frankly, suck. My IT band issue presents as if it were a knee problem, so in a sense, I feel your pain. :(</p>
<p>Rest day today. Going to get up at 5 am tomorrow and do a Two Sizes workout before I head to the airport. Will be in San Francisco for a week and am committing to doing some exercise activity every day. I have one hike planned. We’re going to go on organized trail walk–5 miles at the Presidio in San Francisco–starts out going up the Lyon Street steps. My H will be thrilled!!

<p>CJane: Looks like you had an amazing hiking experience.
Ohio: Congrats on your medal.
NM: Hope your knee starts to feel better.
Idad: Have a great time on your hiking/camping adventure.</p>
<p>I’m shocked that my legs are not falling off after the yesterday’s run! I slapped some kinesio tape under the knees and took some vitamin I before going to bed last night, which might have helped. </p>
<p>I’m resting today and will resume my running tomorrow.</p>
<p>"Busdriver nails it again.’</p>
<p>CJane, can I photocopy that, and frame it? Because I’m quite often wrong about things, and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard those words…</p>
<p>Okay, the truth is, I did recognize Mailbox Peak when you described it, but not Lake Ann. I’m not that good, it’s too obscure. But it was easy to google!
Makes me want to go out and hike before the rain starts up.</p>
<p>I’ve really enjoyed conversing with everyone here, but I’m going to bow out at least for now because, as I mentioned in the “junk email” thread I started earlier today, I have been getting some really weird emails that appear to be related to conversations on CC. Today I got an email with an ad trying to get me to register for what looks to be a bogus race. Yeah, not good. Take care, everyone!</p>
<p>That is very creepy, Deborah. Haven’t seen that yet. Though sometimes I’ll open a different window to google something for a discussion on cc, and then when I go back on cc, the advertisements at the top are flashing about what I just googled. Hmm, maybe I should google porn and see what appears? Just kidding!</p>
<p>That is weird, though. I will read your thread. I wonder if specific threads target specific junk mail. I don’t read my spam.</p>
<p>CJane- I steal ideas from everyone. This thread really has a lot of good information and you all are great training partners. You provide motivation and encouragement</p>
<p>Deborah and bus driver, the behavioral ad targeting is pretty much algorithmic from the delivery system and happens on most sites these days were the ad network delivers ads by where your cookies say you were. So that’s legit and normal.</p>
<p>But receiving targeted email may mean the someone not legit has exploited your cookies, so to speak. In that case, Deborah, it might not have anything to do with CC, or, the gathering of the email info could have come from when cc was hacked, or you could have some spyware on your actual computer. </p>
<p>In all cases, abandoning cc isn’t likely to help…just change the content of the spam targeting you. So you could instead forward the spam to the cc folks to make them aware in case they ARE sharing their list, which I doubt, or tighten your spam filter, and run some diagnostics on your computer. And change your cc password for good measure.</p>
<p>Cjane, what a beautiful vista!</p>
<p>Idad, I might reconsider my stance on camping had I ever thought to take a prime rib dinner with me :)</p>
<p>And Sabaray, congrats! Clearly, I shoulda tried C25k back when you did 
NM, for that knee, have you tried Australian dream? Helps me when mine goes AWOL. I hate taking naprosyne (aleve) because I bloat/hold water on it somehow.</p>
<p>In other news…I am finally, and possibly temporarily at my goal-phase-two of -40 lbs this am, so finally time for a 5lb party after much mucking about. Of course, I do have a party Friday night to navigate…but hey, I’ll take it!</p>
<p>Congrats, KMC! 5 pound party! I have to say, having you along on the thread is definitely keeping me motivated! Way to go girl, sparklers and party hats!</p>
<p>Congrats kmc!!! Woohoo! What a great accomplishment! So happy for you.</p>
<p>Oh yay kmcmom! Here’s a special light up accessory for you:</p>
<p>[Light</a> Up Leg Warmers](<a href=“http://www.twistedskyn.com/j-valentine-light-up-leg-warmers-lu300.html]Light”>http://www.twistedskyn.com/j-valentine-light-up-leg-warmers-lu300.html)</p>
<p>Keep in mind that in addition to their obvious fashion possibilities, they are also useful for keeping mosquitoes & ticks off your legs while hiking.</p>
<p>Hope that Deborah gets things ironed out and comes back to our ongoing, quality conversation here. :(</p>
<p>Thanks, Abasket, and thanks, Kmc, for the tips on what I should do. I’m not sure what doing most of that stuff on the computer entails, but my husband will know. I am definitely a wee bit freaked out by this stuff currently so, yeah, I’m going to see what we can do to make our computer situation more secure.</p>
<p>Our main “family” email has gotten so “spamy” in the last year that I hate to even go to it - all I do is delete, delete! I got my own gmail account a while back and find it to be much better at filtering out things.</p>
