I'm down for my 169 (working on running the year!). So far, so good.5

I'll go.... Umm 50... That's less than April but we have Alex's graduation and a bit of a vaca in Savannah GA.
We were close to picking Savannah for a road trip this summer but instead we're going to the Outer Banks of NC. And the Smoky Mountains.
Of course, this will involve trail running. I'm hoping to talk my boys into going with me.5 -

Aww. "Missed it by that much".
Savannah is close to Ft Benning and on the coast. DH wants to see the Atlantic. I think there are acceptable (potential running trails) for me. Then we're (supposed to be) saving for Rome or something of the sort.

Ummm my May is looking a bit crazy. But mostly because my best friend/running buddy is a bit crazy.
May 6th Greenland Trail Races- (8 mile edition)
May 20th??? I think??? - said friend has us roped into a 5k of some kind
May 29 Bolder Boulder 10K
June 4 (still practically May, right??) Mickelson Trail (half)marathon
Unless I decide to eek out 7 miles after driving for 6 hours tomorrow, I will fall a bit short of April's 100 miles. Which is fairly impressive given how random that number truly was. But shooting for it has been good motivation. So, I shall try it again.
100 miles for May.4 -
I'm way behind you guys!! But I'm on my last day of c25k tomorrow, and hope to do a 5k 3 times a week from now on... so 60k for May
What's that in miles ???? c.40????

I'm really happy I discovered this group a few months ago -- it's done wonders for my motivation & running education! I'm down for another 100 miles in May!

I almost forgot... May marks ONE YEAR that I've been taking part in the Running Challenges! This group has done wonders for my motivation. Now I just have to suck it up and do a real race.

June 24 is my color run goal! Im at one mile currently but with my spiffy new running shoes on the way hopefully my shins won't hurt so much and I'll be off and running (pun intended) My hubby is not being supportive and does not think I can do it so this group really helps me keep going. Hopefully I can loose some weight along the way as well and then I can start feeling better about myself and get off some depression meds 12

I'm going to set a goal for 50 miles in May. I set my goal for 40 in April and so far I am at 47.5 so I think I can up my goal from last month. I am a little worried about the heat, but I am going to be optimistic because I don't want to stop running for the summer. I finally signed up for my first official 5K and it is on May 6th and I am planning to sign up for more. My biggest problem is that I live way out in the sticks and there aren't a lot of 5Ks in town so I will probably have to travel if I want to do more than 3 per year.7

I am working on base building and trying to add a day to my run week, going from 3-4 days per week. I am going to set a conservative goal of 50 miles for May since my runs will be a little shorter until I get used to the extra day then I can add more miles.7
-
Last month my goal was 100 miles. I have a 10 mile run scheduled on Sunday so my actual mileage for April will be 135. I want to set myself a more ambitious goal, HOWEVER, it is about to get hotter than the seventh level of hell here in Central Texas. So....
May's Goal = 125 miles6 -
I'm in for 65 this month. Barely made 60 in April, so hope May will be better.4
-
I am IN again. Im going to complete my april goal of 50 miles, and probably surpass it, and I would have got 60 in at least except that damn side ache ruined me, ugh, so my goal for May I will set at 65 miles.5

170 km estimate. I haven't got it all laid out yet but this will be the start of my Mountain HM Training cycle and also have a few un-official events. One local event that I will be volunteering at again, working with the timing group. We are such a small community that we can't afford the cost of Chip timing so we have an old clock that was surplused after the Calgary Olympics back in 1988, volunteers with neat hand writing and a motion trigger game trail camera for a finish line photo with the clock framed at the side ( if they run in on the Big Yellow Line indicating the best position for a photo). It might not give you instant results like Chip Timing but its the best cost/compromise.8

@juliet3455 I'd rather like having a photo showing me finishing with the time behind me anyway!!2

I've got 121 miles planned leading up to my half marathon on 5/27. I'll likely get in more miles in the remaining four days after, but leaving my goal at 120 miles leaves me a little bit of a buffer if I need it, so 120 miles it is.5

Great decision! It's great to see you fully back in it!OSUbuckeye906 wrote: »I've got 121 miles planned leading up to my half marathon on 5/27.
