    4/3/17. 3.8 miles. It was really nice today after the thunderstorms yesterday but already getting into the 80's so it was pretty warm, but I like warm better than cold.

    @honunui I hate to hear that. You have my sympathies.

    Today is a cross-training day, so no running but I did get in some PT exercises and 44 minutes of elliptical intervals while watching Netflix.

    @lporter229 Great to hear that your last long run was a success. Hope April 17 goes smoothly for you!

    @7lenny7 As always, great pics! And the claws on that turtle :o

    @KatieJane83 Looks like a beautiful place to run!

    @HonuNui So very, very sorry to hear the news. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hello everyone. I'm new here.
    Hoping to get support and be inspired as I prepare for my first half marathon. I've done a couple 5K races and usually run 3miles everyday. I'm excited to be a part of this group.

    Welcome!

    @HonuNui - You and your family are in my prayers. And as someone who has chosen an exercise- and life-style that lends itself to LOTS of outdoors-ness, I take your instruction to heart, and definitely keep sunblock in my run kit (and use it!).

    @MNLittleFinn it's too serendipitous- doooooo ittttt!

    Ran my 14k on auto pilot (that weird disassociative place where I assume everyone goes where you remember starting, bits in the middle and then suddenly you are back at your house? lol) and finished in 1:04. April is pretty good so far, knock on all the wood!

    April 1- 42.2
    April 2- 7.6
    April 3- 14

    63.8km/300km

    You are horrible. In a good way.

    50k is a bucket list run, so maybe I will. I just don't want to register, pay the money, then chicken out or get off track in my training.

    April goal: Stay healthy, get my runs in and increase my long run distance
    Nominal mileage goal: 191 miles

    4/1- 15.23
    4/2- 3.14
    4/3- 7.07
    4/4- 3.69

    Total: 29.13

    Today's notes: Good run today. Got my 3 miles in, in 29:07 and my 4 strides felt good. Today, I really woked on posture during my strides, working on keeping good form. I naturally tend to bend at the waist, so I worked on keeping my pelvis forward and my shoulders back. Felt good.

    Tomorrow is another gut check run for me. It will be similar to last week's Wednesday run, with 3 miles at Tempo pace, but it will be a solid 3 miles this time, not 3x1 with recovery in between. Full run will be about 9 miles, with the tempo portion being the middle 3 miles. Hoping it goes well!

    2017 Races
    6/16- William A Irvin 5k
    6/17- Grandma's Marathon (Full!)
    8/19- Rampage at the Ridge 5k OCR
    9/23- Ely Marathon (full)
    10/21 Wild Duluth 50k??????
    11/23- TBD 5k Turkey Trot

    @HonuNui I have a spot on my leg that I'm sure is just a persistent ingrown hair. But I'll now make sure I ask my doc about it. I also saw last night that DH had a sunburn, I had to remind him we have sunblock spf 4 to 100 and he should use it. Thanks for reminding us how important it is.

    I carry it with me too like @9voice9 .. I tend to use it to hide my dry gater skin. But I do use it.

    I ran 1.5 miles at Orangetheory yesterday, so I'm up to 5.5/25.

    Hopefully getting in a run today, but the weather is not cooperating at the moment!

    Also, how do I get my updated tracker on here? I updated it on the website, copy and pasted the direct image url here and it keeps going back to 4 miles, and not 5.5.

    Thanks!

    @HonuNui I am so very sorry for your loss! I lost my uncle to melanoma, it's such a tragedy, and we are all very conscious of the importance of sunscreen. My thoughts are with you! <3

    It might be that you need to reload the page. I've had that happen when post before updating the data.

    @jessicalferrara Try to force your browser to really reload the image (e.g. Ctrl-F5 with Firefox on PC), then you should see the new ticker image
