    Great job @BruinsGal_91! Glad the weather wasn't as bad as it was predicted. Sounds like an awesome race and well done with your time after deciding your original plan was not going to work. You nailed that pace though! Love that medal. I'm definitely putting this race on my list for next year. Congrats!

    Oh I'd definitely recommend it as a 'runcation' race and making a weekend of it. I love the Vineyard.

    Congratulations @sarahthes - that course looked brutal and I love that you slid down part of it! That would totally be me. Good news is it doesn't matter as long as you are moving forward!
    Congratulations @BruinsGal_91! Your HM sounds wonderful!
    @girlinahat - what an adventure! Sounds like a great idea up until the nettles!
    Congratulations @MobyCarp on another great finish!

    Loved all the race reports!!

    I should update my log for May, but...

    Today was my first long run in two weeks because of vacation. It was nine road miles and went very well. Had to do my long run today and glad I did because yesterday was a cold, rainy suck fest. It might make tomorrow's 3 miles at 4:30 am a little tougher, but its nice to be back in a routine.

    Bought some more capris from JCPenney of all places. They have pockets, light compression, and a draw string. I've tried running in shorty shorts, but the loose skin I do have from weight loss is all in my thighs, so it's a little uncomfortable with anything less than knee length. I've been eyeballing a pair of knee-length shorts on Eddie Bauer for $60, but I will probably get those when I shift my focus back to trails later in June.

    @kgirlhart Congrats on a great race!
    @sarahthes Don't you love it when the inner goat comes out to play?
    @girlinahat Looks like a great place to run, great work.
    @Teresa502 A bear bell maybe? They had us all bring one when we were running in bear areas in Japan, it did annoy the kitten out of me though...
    @MobyCarp Like they said, and AG placing is an AG placing, hope your competitive spirit fires up again soon.
    @BruinsGal_91 That sounds like a really nice race course, congrats!

    5.20-10k, total-38.7k, May goal 60k

    Really nice weather for running yesterday. Cool, slightly windy, raining just a tiny bit. Probably won't be getting this kind of weather again until September at least...

    Congratulations to everyone who raced over the weekend! I won't start tagging all of you, because I'm sure I'll miss someone, but I enjoyed reading your reports!

    I biked yesterday, and ran 7.3k today. No weird animals to report ;)

    My goals are starting to shift (as planned). I'm slowly transitioning from "recover well" into "get bike fitness back" and "maintain a good balance in running". Specifically, I want to comfortably commute by bike to one of my jobs (14k each way, not arriving all sweaty and gross) and run a half marathon anytime I want. The running is a matter of recovery & then maintenance, but the bike may take a few more weeks.

    6/30 Silesian Highland [trail] Half Marathon
    7/16 CityTrail OnTour 5k

    Nothing remarkable about this morining's 10K run. Started off a little slow, but ended up with pretty significant negative splits; starting with a 9:03/mi and ending with a 7:04/mi. HR averaged only 126. But this run actually felt better (more comfortable) than Saturday's long easy run at 9:29/mi. After about 6 years of running, I still haven't really figured out how run.

    Great race @BruinsGal_91. Terrific pacing, and a mighty fine looking medal!
    @MobyCarp you still continue to amaze me. That was a fantastic 10K time! I know you weren't overjoyed with your time (you are way too hard on yourself), but anyone half your age would kill for a 42:17 10K. I want to be you when I grow up.
