    A couple strolls with the dog yesterday and errands in preparation for the weekend of camping. It looks like the knee is tendonitis, so I was given some exercises to try and strengthen the other muscles and stop the cycle. This morning a nice slow run down by the lake. There’s a lot of hills that made it tough, but it felt so nice to be out there and so happy that I’m not starting over like I was at this time last year.

    5/23 - 5 miles
    5/25 - 4 miles walk
    5/26 - 6.5 miles

    Total 45 miles run/70.5 goal

    Right now I am trying to decide - go for a run at 10 on the trails around the neighbourhood or go out with the family and run the river valley trails after our outing and take the bus home.

    Really beautiful day out there for long run today. Felt a bit humid but there was an okay breeze off the lake, especially on the last stretch back to our start point which felt really good. It's the kind of weather we'll be begging for when the heat really kicks in so I'm not going to complain at all. Enjoyed a good run with some friends I hadn't seen for a while, and our coach ran with us for quite a while which is always entertaining and nice to get some time talking with him.

    The rest of the weekend does not look as nice, so should get back outside and enjoy/get some yard work done/etc.

    A slow 6 miles with some walking after 4 miles. It was hot and I was tired. I’m not sure if my fatigue lately is from the increased mileage this month or the calorie cutting... I’m thinking the calorie cutting.

    Monday is the Run to Remember 5k. It’s supposed to rain and most of it is going to be on grass at an old airfield. I won’t be setting any PRs on this course, but it’s for a good cause.

    I’m so behind on posts! We are visiting family/on vacation in the Finger Lakes. I ran 3 miles this morning on some dirt roads around my in-laws’ cabin, which was a nice change from the ridiculously hot GA weather and my usual pavement running. I think we are going to try to get in a few hikes while we’re here as well.

    My in-laws live by Keuka lake. My husband grew up right by Canandaigua lake. When we visit I dread running there because of how hilly it is! I live by the ocean and it’s so flat here!

    A very hot and sticky parkrun this morning. Not my best one by any means, but 3.1 slow miles is better than no miles at all.

    This 6 year old is so me. LOL https://www.buzzfeed.com/laurenstrapagiel/me-trying-to-run?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=buzzfeed&ref=buzzfeed&utm_term=.icN7YMkqd#.uxY9ZwzQ2

    I suggest not reading the comments. There's a bunch of *kitten* trying to shame her/her parents. I thought it was cute and she was being dramatic as kids can be.

    Local 5K trail run this morning. It is getting hot here in Iowa (80's this morning during the run and 103F now). Anyway, it was actually 3.44 miles and I logged the extra mileage. I still don't think I will achieve my goal for the month, but going to try for a long run tomorrow and get a bit closer.
