    @cburke8909 Love the shirt! Can believe you did the tribute to @MobyCarp !

    ETA My husband used cirlge band aids, until he gave in to running shirtless. They make nip gaurds. I've also heard cheap roll on deodorant.

    Question, how do you prevent the irritated bleeding nipples? I have a psoriasis condition that makes me more susceptible to skin issues. So far on my training runs it's only been irritated but today there was definite stream of blood.

    @cburke8909 I HAVE THE ANSWER!

    Okay, well I have what I do. :) Shorter-long-runs - like 15mile or whatever, I apply Body Glide generously and where tech fabrics. That seems to do okay combined with tech fabrics. Stay away from cotton!

    For the marathon, I used high-quality waterproof bandaids and a compression shirt that helped hold the band-aids in place. Some guys will get cotton balls to cover the nipples and then wrap with tape to hold in place. I have a somewhat hairy chest so I try to avoid that much tape. :)

    Thanks @MNLittleFinn ! I'm glad I closed my crazy four week 2 full, 1 half smackdown on a higher note. After they paid me out at the podium my husband insisted I should just run halfs from now on- I wonder why ;) lol

    Congrats!!

    @PastorVincent Looks like you guys had a good time. I love target shooting with my DH and we are just getting son into it. I only shoot handguns but I am trying to talk him into getting another AR but in .22 so we aren't lighting as many dollar bills up when we go LOL and the boy will be more comfortable with it.

    Yeah, now that .22 has fallen back to more sane price that would be fun little plinker.

    There are probably not many days left where my teen will still find me "cool enough" to hang out with. :( I do have one advantage over his friends though. :D They can not take him to destroy paper targets like this :)

    Only downside is purchase $$$ will probably come out of my running and race budget since they are both technically entertainment.

    @JessicaMcB Superb result placing 1AG on your HM race; congrats!

    @cburke8909 For nipple protection, I use NipEaze on my longer runs and have had absolutely no issues. They're practically invisible, and comfortable to the extent that one time I actually forgot that I was wearing them, and ended up with them on for over 24 hours. For shorter runs, I just slap on 2Toms SportShield.

    @kgirlhart Congrats on your distance PR!

    @RespectTheKitty Congrats also on your distance PR!

    Total-49 miles

    Tonight's run was hard, I've been eating mostly plant based lately, but hubby wanted to meet at McDonald's this morning for breakfast, bad idea, my stomach was not happy. I started off really slow and sluggish, at 2 1/2 miles, my stomach cramped, and I could barely walk, so I walked it out for half a mile, finally started feeling better, then ran a slower than average 6 more miles, but easily could have done more, but my kids and hubby were waiting for me.

    @BettyM1017 thanks for the offer you are too nice. I have family right on the same street as mom and a friend is coming over. We will be there until at least Friday.

    As long as it's not just the 2 of you. The task ahead is tough. I'm glad you 'll have family around you!

    6/4 = 13.9 miles (run/walk)
    6/5 = 8.1 miles & strength training
    6/6 = rest day
    6/7 = 8 miles (with 6 - 5 minute speed intervals)
    6/8 = 5.5 miles
    6/9 = 6 miles

    Hooray for tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico! The highs dropped from 101 degrees on Friday to a projected high of 86 degrees today. I am sure it wont last, however, I enjoyed the *kitten* out of it this morning. 14 slow miles with the running group.

    I have developed a pretty gross blister under the second toenail of my right foot. Don't know how it happened. Shoes? Socks? Foot leprosy? I told my friend/co-worker who originally got me into running that I am blaming her if my toe falls off.

    (June miles to date) 146.5/150 (June goal miles)

    Upcoming 2017 Races:
    10/28 = Hill Country Halloween Half Marathon
    11/23 = Georgetown Turkey Trot
    12/10 = BCS Half Marathon

    @BruinsGal_91 - Congrats on the 10K PR! (Though I think it would have been cool to run a PR at the BAA 10K that you couldn't run.)

    @amymoreorless - Your toe won't fall off, but your toenail probably will. It's not a big deal. At one point, after Boston 2016, I was missing 6 toenails. They all grew back in, and somehow I managed to get through Boston 2017 without losing any toenails. Other than stuff my podiatrist did and had me do that made my nails grow in straighter, I don't understand why one year should be that much different from the next. Same model of shoes, same type of socks, same type of training program, same marathon course. Go figure.

    @amymoreorless , @MobyCarp is correct. Losing toenails is like what runners do. It probably came from your toe rubbing the top of your shoe at a blind guess but could be lots of things.

    I only got 1 black toenail this year, and somehow managed to get it the week AFTER the marathon. Thought I had dodged that bullet this year... ah well.

    Goals for June:
    1. To add 4th day to the running week - Going well so far with the only sticky spot being on Thursdays when I have to run before work at 4am.
    2. To not puke, pass out or die while adjusting to the heat - Also going well but the month is young and it has not been that hot yet.
    3. To stay healthy - So far so good but trying not to jinx it.
    4. Make my running a priority, not the first thing that gets forgotten when work and family schedules get crazy - Also going well with a few adjustments to run times
    5. To do a better job tracking miles and holding myself accountable - Better.

    Running mileage goal :
    I am planning on 4 runs a week of an average of 2 miles each as a conservative goal so 40 miles.

    Date Day Run Monthly total Needed

    Legs were very tight and tired yesterday. I am missing the 2 days off back to back and am beginning to wonder if I am adding miles to fast this month or if it is my general lack of pace control. Started off a little rough today but warmed up well. I discovered a few new trails off the paved paths I have used previously and they were a great change of pace and my legs felt much better on those then they have in a little while.
    I started using my Garmin Forerunner 15 to keep an eye on my pace and try to keep it more consistent. Once I warmed up I noticed by pace varied from 13:30 to 10:30 per mile. A comfortable pace for me is about a 12:30 minute mile but I know it is to fast and can't keep it up for more then a quarter mile before I need a walk break. My question is what is the best way to work on keeping a consistent pace? I can hold a 13:30 minute/mile for more then a mile without needing a break I just can't lock in that pace and hold it without being on a treadmill and having no choice. How do I fix this?
