ok. I'm back. running didn't happen too much but we did a lot of walking and inclines. i got half way up the multnomah falls trail but someone was getting impatient back in the car
i did get to run in arcata community forest. totally got lost. it didn't look that hilly in the pictures. the pictures lied.
these were not gentle hills either. i was sore for a few days and then we went to San Francisco which led to shin splints
I wanted to run in Santa Monica but I found the homeless populations it be tweeked out on meth, crazy, or too agressive. I did do a few sprints in the sand here and there but nothing serious

Doesn't look like it's likely that I'll be able to finish the year with 2016 miles. OTOH - looks like I should cross 2016 km in mid-July. So, I'll take that. But next year, I'm likely to try to make it a 2017 mile year.2 -

June run goal: 70.85 of 50 miles - My highest month was 71.7 in March so I feel good about pretty much matching that, seeing that March weather was much more suitable for running. Last June I only ran 18 miles all month which is weekly mileage for me now.
@mbaker566 Gorgeous pics!
@WhatMeRunning Great job on making that goal
@FrankieandSpots Nice! You should be proud but we'll gladly take some of the credit! I think this thread has helped me with consistency.
@Orphia and @pthyay Love both of your positive attitudes!
Congrats to EVERYONE hitting their goals this month or at least doing the best they could with challenges/injuries faced

6/1 - 5.11 miles on National / Global Running Day! Woot!
6/2 - 4.55 miles. Gorgeous morning!
6/3 - Pre-HM rest day. Too bad, it is a beautiful morning! So, I am drinking extra water and I ate donuts!
6/4 - 13.3 miles at Dam to Dam Half. It was sunny and hot. Sun was brutal. Running was pretty good, but my splits went up gradually over the final 4 miles. Atmosphere was good pre and post-race. Had fun!
6/5 - Rest day + lots of kids' sports.
6/6 - 4.01 mile "recovery" run. I am not good at intentionally keeping my pace slow. I intended 9-9.5 minute miles.
6/7 - 5.35 miles. Longer than intended, because I didn't plan my route and had to get back home. Oh well, bonus 0.85 mile.
6/8 - 3.3 miles on treadmill, then upper body weights and abs.
6/9 - 4.5 miles on treadmill (Trek class). Cut it a bit short as a pain in my "hip" was causing me to alter my stride. Not sure where it came from, hoping it was just sore.
6/10 - 3.78 miles in the hot, humid weather. It was 73° at 5 a.m.! Again, shortened due to hip pain. Dr. Google says it might be greater trochanteric bursitis. Anti-inflammatories, extra ITB and hammy stretches and a reduction in mileage are in order.
6/11 - Rest day, plus stretches and anti-inflammatory med. Lots of housework though.
6/12 - Ditto.
6/13 - 3.5 miles, still hot and humid. Again, hip pain started. This time, I stopped immediately.
6/14 - Decided I am going to take a break for a week or two, try to start July fresh. So, today I went to a Bodypump class and then rode a stationary bike. Gonna be sore.
6/15 - Sore! Went light with the weights in Bodypump, still shuffling like an old man. I used to do it 2-3 days a week, but kinda dropped off about 18 months ago.
6/16 - Still sore, but went back to Bodypump and the stationary bike. I miss running :-(
6/17 - Spin Class. It was pretty fun, got to see some of my running buddies at the Y.
6/19 - Bodypump class...harder at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon than at 5:00 a.m.
6/21 - Bodypump class and a short, ginger 1.5 miles on an indoor track. Didn't hurt, but felt weird. May try a 3-miler later this week.
6/22 - Rest.
6/23 - Airport, convention center, hotel...didn't manage to squeeze in a workout.
6/24 - 3.3 miles on hotel treadmill, then upper body weights.
6/25 - 3.2 miles on hotel treadmill
6/26 - Bodypump class
6/27 - 3.5 miles outside. Tried to keep things flat. Hip didn't hurt, but definitely tight. Saw my PCP today for something else. Discussed hip (he's a runner), he indicated that bursitis or ITB were likely candidate. As I thought, reduce mileage, extra rest, stretching. Plus, strengthening exercises. If not improving / better, see specialist.
6/28 - Rest Day.
6/29 - 9.3 miles on stationary bike, then a cautious 2.5 miles on treadmill. No pain
6/30 - Bodypump class and a short 1.5 on indoor track. Felt good. Planning to try 3-4 runs of ~5 to 8k next week and see how it goes. Need to decide by end of July or so if I want to try to gear up for another HM this fall.
@RespectTheKitty - Sorry to hear you are having a rough patch with depression. I have been there. For me, at least, exercise does help. Sometimes, it just isn't enough though. Keep hanging in there, take time for yourself, take your meds (if you have them) and things will get better at some point, they always do!
@MNLittleFinn - In case I don't make it on here over the holiday weekend, good luck with the race. Make sure not to overthink / over-analyze and remember to enjoy! And congrats on hitting your goal!
@ddmom0811 - that picture is GORGEOUS!
@skippygirlsmom, @sweetdianachka, @adrianchr92, @kimlight2, @MobyCarp, @dheliason, @FrankieandSpots, @Stoshew71, @9voice9, @greenolivetree and anyone else I missed - Congrats on hitting your goal!
@mbaker566 - No fair posting photos of delicious pastries when I do not have access to any! OMG...I could eat them all!4 -
@mbaker566 - Awesome pictures. Sounds like a great trip!!
@MNLittleFinn - Good luck this weekend. I am going to go out on a limb here and predict a sub 2:15 for you. I know you got this. Race day adrenaline is huge! Just sayin...
@WhatMeRunning - I do not use the lactate threshold feature on my Garmin. Not even sure if I have it (Forerunner 220). How does it actually work?1 -

@MNlittlefinn you just ran today to beat me by a mile LOL!!!
@mbaker566 awesome pictures sounds like a great time
@kristinegift glad you are feeling better
@adrianchr92 I have the same belt, well okay mine is pink with polka dots I love it. when running I forget it's even on. I wore it in 3 HMs and I'll wear it when we trail run to carry my phone in case I get lost. So comfy.
To everyone who made goal woohoo!!! to those who did not, you get it next month, don't give up!!!

Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold
Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+® Sensors). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates).
TIP:The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate.
1.Select an outdoor running profile.
GPS is required to complete the test.
2.Select > My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test.
3.Follow the on-screen instructions.
@WhatMeRunning Am I to assume this is what you did?0 -

It was insanely hot this year, it was my second time doing it. The 5k sold out so it was packed but overall well run with a tiered start and 1 water stop that you hit in both directions. Last year they had 450 starters, this year there was about 1800 racers just in the 5K. I will do it again next year but either do the 5k and 10k or the half. I wish they would do something like Disney does with a challenge if you do more then 1 race but still it is a good time with a great atmosphere.1 -
Back in front of a computer again and nearly caught up! (I'm still missing the last four pages, but the soccer game on TV is about to start, so the rest will have to wait)
@DrLaura DVM16 Yay for new running shoes! If they feel great, that's already the most impartant thing.
@loubelle16 I hope you feel better soon!
@MNLittleFinn A hotel in walking distance to the race start sounds awesome! With that much preparation, and your family there to cheer you on, you'll have a great race for sure, no need to worry about anything.
@WhatMeRunning Great to hear your foot is completely healed. But shame on you for mentioning strength training! I just realised I haven't done any for the last two weeks, might have to put that on the agenda for tonight *sigh*
@AdrianChr92 A real ice bath? I might like a cold shower on a hot day, but I'm not sure I belive you when you write an actual FREEZING ice bath feels "pretty good" ;-p
@JessicaMcB By all means, just track in km if that's you "native" distance uit system! Thanks to a long time following this thread, I can now deal with *distances* in miles, but paces in miles still don't mean anything to me until I grab a calculator and convert them to min/km.
@ceciliaslater great that your new brace is such an improvement!
@Stoshew71 Lol, the proton-neutron joke is great, have to share that with my colleages next week!3 -
2hr hike on TM. 15% incline. 8miles. 15:00/mi. 1,410 cal of burnage

Did not get out my bed on time for a run today but sneaked in 5k at lunchtime as I was travelling between offices and went my gym song could go out for a run and get a shower without my colleagues seeing me in my running trousers/pants (not vain but it ain't pretty). Really pleased I said on here I would try for 50k or I wouldn't have bothered. Done my 50k - not too bad for a month I really slacked off. Bring on Juiy!4

I'm pretty sure the 220 has it as well. On my 630 I can get there from the main watch face by pressing the hamburger on the watch face (the 3 lines) and going to My Stats->Lactate Threshold.lporter229 wrote: »I do not use the lactate threshold feature on my Garmin.

I am not sure if the "Auto-Detect" feature is enabled by default, in which case it won't automatically figure it out whenever it has all of the right data on a run to calculate this. You can also do a guided test by going to the Run menu and pressing the hamburger then going to My Stats->Lactate Threshold->Do Guided Test.
I do not know the details of the algorithm, I think there is a white paper where you can read more details about it.
It has only auto-detected for me on a 5k PR attempt, then a recent 4x5 minute LT effort run (based on the LT reported from the 5k) and then again today doing 20 minutes at LT effort.1 -
I never did the guided test. I was too focused on base building and didn't want to do a short, hard effort run like that so I enabled the "auto-detect" feature. A 5k that I ran earlier this month picked up on it for the first time, so even steady state runs and McMillan defined tempo runs didn't give enough data apparently. This is after the Garmin had estimated my max HR and VO2 Max.lporter229 wrote: »@WhatMeRunning - I do not use the lactate threshold feature on my Garmin. Not even sure if I have it (Forerunner 220).

Done with my mileage for the month with 8 hours to spare!
For the sake of insanity, decided to do my (marathon plan-prescribed) tempo run today outside in the middle of the day in the hot Florida 88 degree summer sun. On the plus side, humidity was down to 62%. Survived the run, went by heart rate, and although I started the tempo (threshold) portion at a 7:20 pace, maintaining the same heart rate got me up to a 9 minute pace by the end of the run. As I won't need to do math again on my monthly distance, I decided not to take my cooldown to a full/half mile multiple, and just ended the run at 6.7 miles so I could return to the air conditioned interior.
6/1 - 4 miles
6/2 - 8 miles
6/3 - 13.5 miles
6/5 - 13.5 miles
6/6 - 9 miles

@WhatMeRunning - Given LT is supposed to be how fast you can run for an hour, I just go by my 15K pace and heart rate, as the race took me roughly an hour. Still, pretty sure they don't have it on my watch (Forerunner 225) as they just added it to the 230/235/630 series. They might be able to do it via a firmware update though.2 -
Last day of the month ^^
Here's how I did for the last week or so.

LT is not a feature on the 220, unfortunetely. :-(
This is a new feature with the 630:

http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/10/garmin-fr230-fr235-fr630.html I honestly thought it might because AFTER plunking down all that money on the 630 I kept hearing 220 owners (maybe it was 230 owners) saying how much money they saved at the expense of a couple useless data points they would never care about anyway. I would not put Lactate Threshold int hat category, that is about as critical a data point as you can get! 
I know some of the other features like "ground contact time balance" and stuff like that are a bit much. 0 -
Since we are on the subject of Garmins, how many of you have the optical heart rate monitor and what model is it? How accurate do you believe it to be compared to a chest strap? Dcrainmaker's review of it was pretty favorable (I think it was the review of the 230 that I read but it's been a while), but I have heard otherwise by at least one person.0
-
Finished for the month with a short run today (didn't have time for the long run I planned) Really annoyed that I managed to leave it at 59.95 miles because I did my maths wrong and have only just realised when I added it up. If I run 0.05 around my living room it counts as 60, right?!
2nd June - 3.53 miles
4th June - 3.41 miles
5th June - 7.12 miles
7th June - 3.33 miles
9th June - unplanned rest day (non-running related injury)

13th June - 8.52 miles
15th June - 4.08 miles
17th June - 3.04 miles
19th June - 6.06 miles
21st June - 6.04 miles
22nd-25th June - in a funk
26th June - 4.01 miles
28th June - 3.60 miles

LOL @MNLittleFinn I took a rest day yesterday so I missed out on a few. Great work!0 -
Oh, never mind, Nike+ thinks I ran 60.8 this month. Must have gotten my maths wrong at some point. Oh well, at least I don't have that stupid 0.05 bugging me

@greenolivetree I fell on a bright & early group run on Monday. I was running close to these tiny trees that line the street, and a squirrel and I startled each other, and I tripped over a sidewalk crack jumping away from the lunging squirrel. I didn't get banged up too bad though because I almost caught myself mid-fall, but then lost my balance.
:-o Last week a Canadian goose and I startled each other. I saw it and incorrectly assumed it was aware of me. So right as I ran by it flapped and honked and I jumped I generally just run right by them because they live on my street.

@lporter229 my husband has the 230. He likes the optical HRM. But he never wore the chest strap. So I can't say how it compares. He does like it. He's not a data nerd though...0

I am finally back - can't believe it has been 2 weeks already, though! I got in some great runs in Seattle and in Klamath Falls. The hills in Klamath Falls were much worse than I was expecting and I found the elevation there left me out of breath and my legs feeling like logs. The cold mornings and beautiful scenery got me out the door though as often as I could around family obligations.
I haven't read all the updates and feel I missed out on a lot that was going on! I hope to catch up at least a bit tomorrow even if I can't comment on everything. I am off to my first strength training session in over 2 weeks followed by Rally class with Hobbes the Vizsla (who traveled VERY well amazingly!).
I didn't make my goal but I did break 100 so I will just have to be good with that!

Passed my extended goal of 100 miles for June!
This also completes my first year of MFP Running, after opting in to Stan's Challenge Invitation for July 2015. In that year I've covered over 1,100 miles and dropped 25 pounds.
My running issue prior to this was always burnout ... run hard for a couple months and then quit. So I'm happy, amazed, and thankful for the motivation and support this Virtual Team has given me.
And besides my own running progress, I love checking in on my running network from Melbourne Down Under, to Minnesota, Georgia, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, UK (East and West!), home town Pittsburgh (or is it Florida?), France (almost Switzerland), Alabama, Nebraska, Ireland (a cherished land for Bostonians), Nevada, New Jersey, Romania, Bulgaria, and many other Running Meccas ... it is truly an International sport!
So many thanks to Stan and everyone in my Virtual Running Club, and I hope we have many more miles to come!
