Did 3.7 miles today. Weather was horrendous, absolutely chucking it down but I persevered and managed a personal record for the first 2 miles of 19.03 minutes. Slowed massively after this but that is because I hit a big hill!
Anyway total so far is 27.3 miles0 -

My first real 5k went great. Started at the back of the pack and got to pass people which was nice. I stayed relaxed and listened to my body with no split goals or set pace and it was great. My chip time was a PR 40:52 but had an unplanned walk at the end when they let traffic go and we had to wait a second. I covered with a sprint to the finish and felt great. No cramps and no dizziness. I felt like I had another half mile in me LOL. Can't wait for the next one! Something about hearing your name announced as you cross the finish line is addictive.
Good to hear you enjoyed your first 5k race, shame to had to stop for the cars though.caratayloruk wrote: »caratayloruk wrote: »5 miles today bringing my total to 23.6. Another 52.4 to go.

@kimlight2 congrats on the 5k!!
@missmelis98, good running on your 5k tomorrow!
Today I had a near perfect run. Temp around 60F, a light mist and overcast. I had intended on running this one solo by Kody caught me putting on my Brooks (he always does) and was bouncing off the walls with anticipation. This was to be my longest run and I wanted to be able to focus just on that, but I couldn't turn him down and it was great weather for him to run, so I stuffed a few poop bags in my pocket, grabbed a bottle of water, and off we went. A couple poop stops on the warm up walk and two during the run, so he really didn't slow me down. We were about a mile into the run when I realized I didn't have a leash. Not a problem for me, as he's an awesomely obedient dog, but I know other runners and bikers don't know what to expect coming up on a dog without a leash so I usually bring a light one tucked into his collar so I can pull it out to use as needed. Unless you looked close you'd never even know he wasn't on a leash because he's right there beside me at a perfect heel (unless he stops to poop). I crossed 3 runners this morning and I just pulled off the side of the trail, with Kody at a sit, when they passed.
I say *near* perfect because in the last mile my ball-of-foot pain came back. Walking wasn't any less painful than running so I continued on. Iced it when I got home and popped two Aleve and it's doing better now.
I ended up running 5 miles. For June I'm 30.2 out of 50 miles, well ahead of schedule!

@shanaber - wish we would get rain without lightning, I'd run in it! I'm afraid to walk to the car in the storms around here, let alone be out running.
@jorocka - lol the tourists with selfie sticks. They are all over the place where I live. So ridiculous.
@7lenny7 - Awww Koby must be a good dog to stay with you like that! Is the ball of foot pain on both feet or just one? I used to get it at around mile 3, on both feet. I haven't had it in a while, but now I'm trying to increase distance once a week and when I got to 6 this week, both feet were hurting.
@skippygirlsmom - Awww Macy sounds so cute.0 -
Just under 1/2 to my goal, so right on target

Just the right foot. The onset coincided with get a blister on my heel on mile 10 of a 14 mile hike. My theory is that I adjusted my gait in response to the blister and in the course of the remaining 4 miles, the unnatural gait caused the pain. It comes and goes but I thought I was done with it.

I do not understand how the selfie stick every caught on. that just seems so insipid.
All that to say- I'd have a horrid fear of geese (I've been chased by them before- so I give them an extra wide birth- not sure what's worse- tourists or geese- because I'll say not nice things to tourists- geese- I just go like 10 miles around. So totally a toss up.0 -

@kimlight2 Awesome job on the 5K
@autumnblade75 super job too!!
@7lenny7 sorry about the foot pain
Your pup sounds awesome. I had a German Shepard who was like that. If I stopped walking she would stop and sit, she was so well trained she would run like the devil to my property line if someone was walking by, but never cross over the line. Macy is good, but still working on her.
