What I learned this month:
1. PB's pop out at the most unlikely event/weather conditions.
2. Your local running club friends are all ways cheering you on, especially when you are normally a middle of the pack runner so they are finished and cheering everyone in.
3. Last Years ( or older ) shoes are a good investment if they are something that you already run in.
4. Never compete in the Beer Olympics the night before a HM.

@juliet3455 - ^^^^ This made me laugh out loud!

May Goal: Run just a scootch more than last month...

5/1 deep mucking of the chicken coop and environs
5/2 4.0
5/3 life day
5/4 7.54
5/5 snorkel 3.5hours
5/6 3.21
5/7 4.05
5/8 rest
5/9 4.05
5/10 meh
5/11 4.54

5/23 rest
5/24 4.10
5/25 4.19
5/26 so for those of you who remember Lily the rescue whippet, she is no longer terrified of DH, and happily follows him everywhere, especially to the cookie bin. However, she and Akamai the border collie/Australian shepherd play so hard....that he ruptured his ACL and needed semi-urgent surgery. So, instead of running much, I am dog-nursing. Not too sure I'll scoot past my scootch this month
5/27: 3.15
5/28 rest
5/30 8.18
hrmmmm....lost a day somewhere...
5/31 3.12



Total 77.97

Running park.....missed a few posts, but were water misters and controlled 55 degree temp mentioned?

I learned that my goal isn't so much to get a number of miles, but to destress with the miles I do run. I stomp on the heads of .....oh, pharmacies that charge thousands per month for one chemo drug, oncologists who don't return calls, and kids who ignore dr.mom's admonishments to get followup for history of cancer....

@elise4270 and @kimlight2 "she" is "he" but thanks, he IS a big beautiful boy.
@skippygirlsmom hope you are feeling better

Upcoming races:
6/26 SHEPower Virtual 1/2 marathon
11/13 Las Vegas Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon

Ticker is my goal for 2016 and accumulation to date:

May ~75.5 miles....(Race) 5K le Chocolat May 1st 2016 ~ 34:28 Running 4 days a week now & May was a really good month of running, finally injury/illness free. Since the weather is warmer I'm up (run days) no later then 5:30 am for a cool and quit run....im starting to love my morning runs followed by an afternoon nap. June goals are to focus on 2 strength days per week and daily abs, consistency is key.

Run Fun Everyone!
