    Damn you Gary!! I cannot stop thinking of leaving work early to get a donut. I've made karaoke songs in my head to such thoughts.

    Oh I missed a donut conversation... Is it his Strava run of the day? How about some paczki's? I've never had 'em, but think I'd really like too! Gary, please bring the group some paczki's. :heart: :yum:

    It is doughnut day today so it must be on Strava.

    Here in Canada at Tim Hortons they were selling breakfast sandwiches on a doughnut instead of on a biscuit or English muffin.

    I kind of shuddered when I saw the ad, tbh.

    None of that sounds good.

    Bacon, in buttered cheap white sliced bread. I’ll take mine without brown sauce.

    @ctlaws44 Hope you got to leave the office early in the end! And good luck with your race tomorrow. :smile: I've never actually run a 5K race myself, and was mentioning to the group just yesterday that I should probably think about doing so.


    First sweaty run of the month down...plenty more to go.

    01 - 15.23

    Total: 15.23 / 300 miles

    It is only 4:45 pm my time and we are already 5 pages in!

    Goal for June:
    Continue PT for Plantar Plantar fasciitis
    50 miles for June – run/walk depending on foot
    Incorporate speed work on Tuesdays each week (also dependent upon foot is feeling)

    Two sessions of PT done for Plantar fasciitis, and so far it is improving

    @RespectTheKitty – Glad you answered @girlinahat on running in a cemetery

    June 1st. Scheduled rest day, so zero miles for the month so far.

    Tomorrow is a travel day. I might get a shakedown run in late tomorrow afternoon. Sunday is a half marathon.

    I've made the executive decision that I will travel without my laptop. This decision is easier since my daughter convinced me to do the tedious labor of converting my filters in Thunderbird to be server-side in gmail. It also means I won't be following this forum for two days, because I can't handle the small cell phone screen plus the atrocious size and quantity of ads MFP pushes at me on conversational screens. So most likely, I'll be skipping a couple hundred messages when I get around to posting my first non-zero status of the month.

    @Elise4270 - You missed the canonical answer to the question:
    Q: How do you get into a locked cemetery at night?
    A: With a skeleton key!

    I've only needed to get into a locked cemetery twice, and unfortunately I neglected to bring a skeleton key both times. Once I stayed out, the other time the young guys with me talked me into scaling the gate.

    I am so frustrated right now... Ran around 5.5km this evening, stopped to look at my phone, and the stupid app had paused and said I ran 2km. :# it felt like a good run too. Now I can't upload it to Strava but it did happen I swear ;)
    MTD 5.5/60

    If Strava did not track the run, it did not happen. Sorry, you are out of luck, get back out there and try again. :lol:

    Setting my goal at 40 miles again this month and hoping the third time is the charm, since I ended up short in both April and May. I was tempted to go ahead and shoot for 45 miles, but I’ll be out of town at a conference most of next week and doubt I’ll get much running done then.

    6/1/2018 rest
    6/2/2018 2.65 miles

    Total 2.65 miles /80-85

    Tried to push my pace a bit this morning to test. Did well, had to do my breathing exercises a couple of times. Went a little above my HR zones but I was still comfortable with the pace. Going to keep trying to breathe and get my speed back.

    Does anyone have strava premium? Is it worth it? I keep thinking of getting it.

    6 easy (but not so easy...stupid humidity) miles with the group this morning. Tomorrow we are meeting to run at a local park. It will be half (likely muddy) trail and half paved path. I can't decide if I should wear trail or road shoes. I love my trail shoes, but I am not sure how well they will perform on the pavement.

    June 2: 5k very slowly in the midday heat! It's too darned hot to run at midday - we need to get better about getting up and out quickly in the mornings.
