    Intervals in wonderful weather this morning. Overcast and 66 degrees... it felt amazing after all the heat and humidity I’ve been running in.

    Date :::: Miles :::: Cumulative
    06/01/18 :::: 1.4 :::: 1.4
    06/02/18 :::: 0.0 :::: 1.4
    06/03/18 :::: 13.1 :::: 14.5
    06/04/18 :::: 0.8 :::: 15.3

    I guess I'll call this a little recovery run and warm-up before my strength/circuit training. Got to the gym a little later than planned so that's all I had time for. It felt pretty good. Then we did lots of arm work and my arms now feel like noodles. Way to take my mind off of any lingering post-race leg soreness!

    Looking to pick some brains for experience and guidance if anyone has a few moments.

    I'm starting up a 24/18 rotation (24 days there, 18 at home) for work and will go from at best a treadmill and limited time to free all day and running all over the hills. I would like to be able to train up for the 50km race I'm signed up for in early November as it looks like my schedule will have me here.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on approaching this situation? I can run further/more often when at home during my 18 days off but I don't want to make too big of a swing and risk injury. I'm also not sure how much I can stand/fit in on the treadmill while at site as I will only have 3 days each week to run.

    My current thoughts are training strength (lifting) and some running (at least one steady state run and one sprint set) with stretching while on site (I'll aim for 10-20 miles a week). When I get home I will look at running 4-5 times a week with slowly increasing mileage as time progresses loosely following a program of some sort.

    I am no expert, but most training plans have cut back weeks in them. So I think you can train harder on your weeks at home, and easier on your weeks at work, and be okay.

    Wait for a smarter person to reply though...

    My goal is 3 runs per week minimum with a total monthly goal of 70 miles.
    And to keep up with this thread (sort-of)

    Not starting off very well this month. My first run was June 4th....I might get 2 more runs in before the end of the week. (fingers crossed).

    There has been a break in the heat and humidity. It was 78 degrees and very little humidity. I ran 7.07 miles today after my husband talked me into mowing the grass. The good news was "no hip pain."

    I might try trail running next month. I was playing with my nieces' sons at my mother's house. She has a really steep drop-off behind the house. I was running down the hill chasing the boys and got a really good ankle stretch. I never knew it had that much range of motion.

    My mother had a really good birthday and is doing well for 90 years old. Probably needs a cane but is too stubborn and won't wear her support shoes. However her mind is still good.

    6/4....7.07 miles

    Goal is 70 miles.

    Got up early and did 2.2 miles with some speed work. It was a cool 60 degrees, and I know I need to become more disciplined with getting up early.

    I remind myself of things like this ALL WINTER! Summer is glorious here as well, and I love it!

    8 easy miles the morning. Phone weather app actually said 100% humidity as I was walking out the door to run! Set out with the mindset to ignore my Half Marathon brain and just take it slow. Mission mostly accomplished. Averaged about 0:20/mi slower than HM pace, but about 0:15 faster than marathon pace. Still, it felt quite comfortable (other than the 100% humidity). HR averaged 119, so it truly was an easy run I suppose.
