When Steem was still a thing I used to blog about my running and found many like-minded runners there. Then suddenly (or probably not suddenly, but I did not use enough time on the platform to be updated on everything) we were moved to Hive, and I had some technical difficulties. Perhaps there were some start up problems as well, I can't really remember. Anyways, I sort of just gave up and logged out. (I am logged out of the Discord channel as well, do I use the same password as the key here?)
I am still running, and even more than before! The kids are getting older and more independent, and together with the pandemics forcing me into home office, I gradually increased my running a bit. I still enjoy trail running the most and I still do most of my runs in Z1-2 to stay injury free and to make it easy to run every day if I want to without the total life load getting too much for my body to handle. Although I am no longer at home office I try to keep up the running as I've done since March 2020. During the pandemics I ran a few virtual runs, including a 50K and a 80K/50 miles. After that I've ran a few 50Ks (real races) and a couple of weeks ago I ran a bit more than 60K at a bakyard run. I seem to be a bit stuck to 50Ks for my ultras. Part of me want to train for longer distances whereas other parts of me don't want to get up even earlier at weekends to run farther on my long runs, which is required to get to longer distances. Let's see what the autumn and winter brings.
I see that the runningproject is still active, that's great! I also recognize several of you, which is so great.
Last running selfie: From yesterday's run in sun and crisp autumn air. What's the easiest way of adding photos these days?
Btw. I still see that "actifit", "exhaust" and other things are popping up in my feed. Anyone wants to remind me what we were using this for? Were there apps? My memory is like a goldfish.
hahahhaha!
@actifit still works but I'm not using it since long so I cannot help you.
@exhaust quit working a few months ago and now we have another app called @strava2hive were many share their runs and rides there (@run.vince.run is the main developer)
Ah, thanks for the update. I used to use actifit, but will check out the strava2hive. Or maybe just go old-school and blog.
Btw, is my photo showing? Because on my blog front I can only see an icon. Not sure what's the best way of attaching photos?
Your photo is displayed in the post but not in the blog list. Try posting with ecency or peakd. They are both much friendlier than Hive.blog.
Thanks for your help! I managed to download an app for hive authentication and log on to peakd. What a difference!! So much more user friendly. Love it 😊
I am glad to hear that. yes, hive.blog is a condenser style site from the old days while PeakD is modern and full of features.
by the way, for authentication on the web use browser extension - Hive Keychain

Congrats on running ultras, that's excellent.
You have time for 100 K and longer runs. Don't push it. I often said that I am too lazy to run long runs. Last year I DNFed two 100 K runs at a half distance since I fancied beer in the finish more. This year I had a great mindset from the start and finished 12 hours/100K and 78 K runs. It's all in the head :)
Backyard ultra? Even more excellent. How many yards did you do? Any link to the event site/results? I didn't participate in one yet. I thought of running an unofficial self-made one since I have a perfect track for it. 6.7 K mostly on gravel with 40 meters of climb.
As I told you - check @strava2hive for almost automatic publishing from Strava to Hive, obviously.
No, the Discord password is different. Try password recovery there. Which server do you have in mind?
Images? You just copy-paste them to your favourite Hive website. Google photos - open image - right click copy - Hive - in draft - paste

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 45/55) Liquid rewards.
For sure it’s in the head. And I need to want it more than I do today. Congrats on your 100K finishes! I finished 9 laps of the backyard ultra in mud, on technical trails and with approximately 170 vertical meters each lap. Will write a post about the race!
That's a great achievement, congrats. Steep and muddy, bravo! I'll read your report later. Gotta run now !LOLZ
Why do Norwegians always wear clothes with the Norway flag on it?
Hm. This is the only piece of clothing I have that have the Norwegian flag on it so you would have to ask someone else I think. It is a national running club, hence the flag.
