    @MNlittleFinn yeah! Until you are not on a rest day tomorrow ha ha thanks! Felt good this morning.

    In the May thread wasn't someone talking about the Grandma's marathon on the June 17th? I was just reading this article at Kara Goucher will be there running the HM, but will be a featured speaker that weekend.

    3 miles this morning, 2 of which were running. The 1 mile walking was spread out as warmup/breaks/cool down.

    @cameronheel LOL at your brief 30 year hiatus. Sounds like you're doing great having completed C25K and are running 3 times a week.

    @juliet3455 I like #9. I think I love exercise but hate training. I become miserable every time my running starts to resemble training. Oh well.

    @skippygirlsmom I'm running grandma's I'm totally stoked she's coming. She owns the CR for the half, so it's cool that she's coming back.

    @MNlittlefinn Duh I guess I didn't know the name of the race, I should have put two and two together huh? ! I just love her, I would be over the moon to hear her speak.

    Just wondering here, who gives out a long sleeve tech shirt for a June race? LOL

    Also, my bib has a tear-off portion at the bottom which is a coupon for a free adult beverage. Nice.

    Close . . . I got a long sleeve tech shirt for Canandaigua Half on May 27. And I have several short sleeve tech shirts for races in September and October.

    6/1 5miles 46:33min

    I was struggling with whether to run or not given my hip pain... I ended up going. I feel like a cripple hobbling the first few minutes, but after about a mile I can ignore the pain and pick up the pace. I'm not sure my new sneakers are helping, but maybe I need to give it a few more runs.

    On a more positive note, the clinic doctor put in a referral for physical therapy for a civilian dr. (Are PTs doctors?). So yeah for that! I should be able to get an appointment much sooner than going to the one on base. Hopefully the PT can sort out this pain and I can go back to running pain free again!

    Newbie here. Just started back running in Dec after a brief 30 year hiatus. I have been running 3.5 miles three times a week after completing C25K, so I guess a reasonable goal for me is 50 miles for June. I just have to make it through the already unbearable NC heat and humidity.
    I hope you don't have any brief questions to ask! Seriously though, welcome to the group. :smile:

    @respectthekitty woohoo you are so ready! I looked at the shirt and thought the same thing about the long sleeves. On our local running FB page a race director asked what people wanted 99% said singlets in place of a tee or long sleeve tech shirt.

    Welcome to all the new victums athlete's.
    Just Joking. To all the new comers this is a great group with all ages and abilities.
    From High Mileage Road Warriors to Low Mileage Plodders, Middle of the Pack Racers, Elites, Trail Hounds, Treadmill Thrashers, Track Circlers and Winter Warriors. Race Masters to Race Haters.
    Some enter events just for the excuse to travel, collect a Race Bib, Finisher Medal and a Unique Shirt.
    Others enter events for the additional Training Motivation from a hard date on a calendar.
    Then there's some Lady in Australia who runs multiple HM distances in training just for the fun of it. ( she now has more HM distance fun run's than I have HM's ).
    Mothers who are amazing and have amazing talented daughters. etc, etc.

    We all fit into this group. No question is out of Bounds or Foolish.

    Wisdom comes from Experience, Experience comes from making mistakes and self discovery.

    As any athlete knows you will have good days/weeks and bad ones so - "Embrace The Suck"
    Have Fun and Run - just a little further than last month/year.

    In for 153.2 miles in June from a Treadmill Hater. :s

    @WhatMeRunning maybe I'll add that to my lineup for next year and relive that nightmare..i mean quality bonding time with my aunt. She used to live right by the plaza, now she lives in Lee's Summit. I was going to do the Stars and Stripes 5k in Lee's Summit to visit her, but decided to do the one in Wichita instead

    6/1 = Gym day; 3 miles on the treadmill and 40 minutes of strength training
    6/2 =
    6/3 =

    What is it about running on the treadmill that makes my knees hurt? They don't bother me running on trails or the road. You would think that it would be the opposite...

    (June miles to date) 3/150 (June goal miles)

    Rest day/closing in on taper madness for the day: checking the weather and realizing that in 2 days, I'll start seeing race day on the long range forecast on weather.com..... Accuweather has had it for a while, and NOAA won't have it for another few days, I think they only go out 10 days.... LOL
