Big storms last night, lots of trees and branches down in the neighborhood this morning. The contractor who built our houses loved to plant Bradford Pears, not a good tree in tornado and straight line wind weather they come down too easy. One house had a trampoline in the front yard that wasn't there yesterday, the lady who lives there told me she had no idea whose it was. I said did the neighbor have one in their backyard she said no. It reminded me to check and make sure mine was still in my yard LOL I spent so much time chit chat with folks this morning I ran out of time and couldn't in the 6 miles I wanted to run today.
@wendy1fl I love the new picture too. So exciting!
@honunui just noticed you did your virtual race for Trooper Dees - nice job!
@annekka great job continuing on after you walk, for me that is hard, it's like my legs know I stopped and they refuse to want to start again
@7lenny7 you are so ready for this 5K !!0 -
3 miles. It looks like I'm going to my June goal. By maybe 8 billion miles!

My right side hammy and glutes were not feeling too great after Saturday's long run so I decided to rest Sunday as I headed into a recovery week. So I did not run on Monday either (as originally planned) and then also decided to rest Tuesday as my left side glutes started acting really sore. Not sure what brought that on. I also turned into some sort of a ravenous "eat everything in sight" monster Tuesday and I'm not sure what that was about either. Maybe stress from work perhaps.
So because of all this rest I have not kept up very well. Hope everyone is doing well and congrats to all racers from last weekend!
Today I woke up early and could not get back to sleep. I felt awake and my resting heart rate was perfect, so I went for an early morning mid-week long run. Logged 12 miles and felt great! Finished just in time for the sunrise!
@skippygirlsmom - I initially swore I would never have any stickers like that. Then last Christmas my sister in law gave me a 13.1 magnet since I ran my first half last November. I put it on since it was a gift, but immediately fell in love with it. I've sinc ecided I will get a 26.2 when I do a full, and anything with larger numbers of course. But only one of each. That's my limit (I think).
@shanaber - I spoke too soon on the magnets. I just ordered a 0.0 for my son! It will be quite the hit with family and friends.
@Wendy1Fl - Progress is still progress! You are undergoing some major changes. You have maybe the best excuse of all for non-injured runners!
@7lenny7 - Can't wait to hear how you rock that 5k!

@whatmerunning - the magnets started with Skip, I couldn't resist her wanting a XC and 10K (her longest race to date) on the car. The West, Texas sticker was given to me by a firefighter from the company that had members killed during the fertilizer explosion a couple years back. Allen's cousin was killed in the explosion, so I have that one on the car. I've seen the 0.0 that one cracks me up every time.0

6/24/15 - 5.34 miles - One of my apps crashed my phone about 3/10ths of a mile into my run. I stopped running to restart everything and ran another 5 miles. I may use too many apps - There's Charity Miles because why not?, Zombies, Run! because I like the motivation, and RunKeeper, because I was hoping to actually get prompts for the intervals they want me to run on their training plan. Zombies, Run! uses a playlist I had to assemble elsewhere, and turns the volume down for story segments. RunKeeper turns Zombies, Run! down to provide split times and announce intervals. Well, the volume adjustments were all over the place, today. Just as I was passing my house, I had to poop, so I decided I was done, despite my plan to run a full 6 miles. Perhaps, tomorrow, I'll try it without the zombies. (I think that was the app that crashed my phone - it's been a little unstable since the new season rolled out, and they made the app free.)

@italysharon I really like this thread too! Everyone is so encouraging, esp. on those runs where I'm thinking every minute "why am I doing this?" "If I stop now, I could have a better day of it tomorrow", "there's this, this, and that to do", and this one for sure-- "I've got to loose some of this weight first!"
@ddmom0811 Congrats on making your farthest run today!!!
@SimoneBee12 Glad to hear things are pain free! Be encouraged, July's coming in just a week and a half!
@skippygirlsmom Funny photo! So glad you shared. Every car I see with a running sticker/magnet, I'll be thinking of you! And you are so close to your monthly goal! KIU Sweetie!
@scoutmomof8 Lovely job this month! You almost to your goal already!!!
@7lenny7 You've got a load of people waiting to hear about your 5k! No pressure, right?
@Wendy1Fl Many congratulations to you on Baby1Fl!!! You look lovely too!
@Ohhim Yes Sir, you'll make you're goal for the month. Hope you next run is a great one.
@RunTimer Lovely new sneaks. Hope you are blister free! My sneaks look like your old ones, I see my toes!
Today, was my long run- a whopping 14 miles. I thank the LORD for every shade tree, breeze, and the water bottles my lovely daughter dropped on the route for me.

I found shorts that don't crawl in the thigh/crotch. They are MPG brand, found them at TJ Maxx. My husband thinks I spend too much on running gear, so I'll by some more. They're like 10 bucks.
Sucky run. I forgot to take my med this morning and am super sensitive to SNRI withdraw. So had GI distress. I shouldn't even try to run on days like that, so dehydrated.0 -
@stingrayinfl, @skippygirlsmom and @WhatMeRunning , thanks for the encouragement! It definitely helps! @JimCrackinDandy, perhaps I should have just kept my mouth shut! No, I'll run stronger Saturday because of the great folks here.
@WhatMeRunning glad your aches and pains went away...12 miles and feeling great? Sounds awesome!
@scoutmomof8, that ticker of yours is looking great!!
@ddmom0811 , congrats on the distance PR!
Tonight I ran an uneventful 4 miles during my son's soccer practice, and that's a good thing. I was going to run another 4 tomorrow but our family plans will prevent that, and I'm planning a rest day Friday, so I think I'll just take 2 days off and be very rested for that 5K Saturday.
Earlier today I signed up for my first 10K, which is on July 4th. I was going to wait until July 18th, but this one sounded too good to pass up. About 650 entrants, only $32, a great looking shirt, and we have no plans that morning anyway. I'll likely still do the July 18th 10K as well.
And finally, a good friend of mine, veteran of 42 marathons, worked up a training plan for me to train for a half marathon on October 31st. Pretty excited about that!

Felt infinitely better on my run today as although it was the same temp as yesterday, the humidity was 50% lower (30% vs. 80%). No worries getting in my final 29 miles by the 30th. Hit my monthly lifting goal today (9 sessions), and should hit my swimming and biking goals if all goes well on those fronts (380/500 biking - 20/day left, 5.2/8 miles swimming - or half-mile/day left).
Thanks all for the encouragement ( @JimCrackinDandy @skippygirlsmom @shanaber ).
@7lenny7 you'll probably surprise yourself, as I do most training run around a 10-11 pace, but my last marathon pace was an 8:30 min/mile, my 5K-8k pace is 7-7.5min/mile (as the race adrenaline helps me kick into gear). Still, I'm pretty careful not to do most of my training runs (unless they are speedwork specific) faster than at 75% of my maximum heart rate. Not sure if you use a heart rate monitor, but it is a good way to check exertion/effort both for races and during training.
