I want to thank you all for your congratulations! It was kind, and I appreciate it. Unfortunately, after setting my lofty goal for June, I have been completely debilitated by Morning (AKA Make-You-Wish-You-Weren't-Alive-24/7) Sickness every day. Yesterday, I finally felt like a human again. Sooo...Here is my amazing June progress LOL!

My Midwife says as long as the nausea is manageable I have her blessing to run, but that I am not to exhaust myself.0 -

Not sure if it was the heat & humidity, or the limited amount of food eaten after my (faster) long run last night, but I definitely bonked during the last mile of my run this morning. On the plus side, just 35 more miles for the next week and I'll hit my goal.

@skippygirlsmom wow on the car! I'm debating weather or not I will be one to put a 13.1 on my car come October.
@Wendy1Fl oh I hope the morning sickness passes quickly. I feel for you.0 -
@elise4270 I couldn't wait to put that 13.1 on my car LOL
@wendy1fl sorry to hear about the morning sickness, I hope it passes soon.
@runtimer - nice new shoes love them I love how on your ticker your batter is now behind your pitcher ha ha
@ohhim - the heat is definitely taking it's toll on the running0 -

@skippygirlsmom That car looks similar to my Ranger. If you ever see an old Ranger with a lot of stickers on the back in your city, you know it will be mine..lol

@mmabry72 - Hope the new insets help with your leg pain!
@karlundy - so awesome to run with your daughter on Father's Day! I bet she loved it too!
@MrsKGrady - I can empathize on the sunburn! I am very fair and a red head so I always wear sunscreen but sometimes I miss or don't reapply enough! I got super burned on Sunday running at the dog beach just because of that!
@italysharon - WhooHoo on upping your mileage goal!! You've got this!!
@KOW75 - I hope you are resting and recovering! Being patient coming off an injury is the worst!
@jtarmom - welcome back! Hope that knee is cooperating!
@annekka - stay safe if that typhoon comes your way!
@mwyvr - Awesome to have your whole family to run with on Father's Day! and that you are able to be out there running with them!
@RobertDupuy - congratulations on your 60 minute run!
@skippygirlsmom - love the car. I have magnets for 13.1 and from the Star Wars race but that is all. I did see one I want to get for my non-running husband though - says just '0.0'
We saw it on another car and both laughed out loud! We are twinning on our runs and mileage - race you to the finish :laugh:
@7lenny7 - socool about the Northern Lights! My daughter texted me that the news in Seattle said that they may be visible to them tonight too!
@Wendy1Fl - Just know that this too will pass and you will soon be back running regularly! I found the most important thing for me was to ALWAYS have something in my stomach even if it meant nibbling on soda crackers at 3am because that was all I could tolerate and the only time it stayed with me. Once I could keep a bit down, I never let myself get super hungry because that is when I would get sick again.
@ohhim - You've totally got this! 35 miles for the week is no problem for you!
@RunTimer - Yay! New shoes!! They look great! Maybe need to up your goal (maybe 72) - just sayin'
@Elise4270 - I couldn't wait to put my 13.1 on my car too but I don't do stickers so had to wait to find a magnet.
Whew - I think I am finally all caught up!0 -
4.9 km this morning for a total of 66.88/70 km for the month. Had to stop 4 times during my run. 3 times due to laces issues (will never NOT double knot again). Once cause a pedestrian bridge that was there a week ago was completely gone this week and I had to make sure I realized where I was as that is one of my landmarks.
Best part: after each stop I was able to restart running. A month or two ago I would have been doomed to walking after the first stop.0 -

@Wendy1Fl - Love the new picture and baby bump!
Had a really good run today despite the heat. Race pace run on the schedule and I doubted I could really get it done. Left the pup at home because it was just too hot for him. I managed to get miles 3 and 4 done in a 9:30 pace - my 5k/10k pace! Overall I was very happy with it. Rest day tomorrow!

I ran 5.9 miles split over two runs tonight.
The first run was a 2.8 mile trail run in the heat of the day, about 80F. That took some considerable effort!
The second one was a practice 5k at 10pm and I'm VERY happy to say that I ran it faster (9:53) than my previous PR (10:06), and I was feeling pretty good after this one, not dying like the last one. I think I'm ready for my real 5K race this weekend. Considering I'll be fresh for that one, I'm hoping for 9:45.

I've done a bad job giving praise and being generally social this month, but I want you all to know that you are all such an encouragement. I sometimes get on here to read the posts when I don't feel like going for a run and it motivates me. Thank you! :-)
