I'm setting a goal of 50 miles this month. I've just started a 5k to 10k plan to increase my distance over the summer.
Next race is a 7k on 7/7.4 -
01/06 3.52 miles
I did 1 mile this morning but it was just too hot so did the rest this evening after it cooled down with load of thunder and rain.
Thankyou for the welcome back! @Elise4270, @Kgirlhart & @Shanaber. Looks like there are a good few of us starting back so thats motivation alone.
@marisap2010 - sorry you lost your dog, they become part of the family.

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.2

I have a 5k tomorrow morning (NASA Langley 5K Moonwalk and Run) that I hope to break 20 min finally. 5k's suck in general. They're a ballz out DGaF race. Plus there are several student interns participating. All said and done I'm going to have to sell out hard to rep the old folks.3

This is my first month to join this challenge. I have a habit of training for a run, running the race, and then I stop running for months and I have to start training all over again. I haven't run in over 2 months so I am going to start slow and hope that joining this challenge will at least keep me consistent. Goal for this month is 20 miles of running.

June 1 – 9.51 miles (4.5 miles of hill repeats)
@stoshew71 – Thanks for getting us started again!
I’m going with 75 miles for my monthly goal. I’m starting Beachbody’s 80 Day Obsession workout and food plan. I need to loose a few pounds that have crept on and since I don’t have a half marathon until October, I figure now is a good time to cut calories, focus on cross-training and back off on the mileage.

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.3 -
40km for me2

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.1 -
I bought new shoes today. Tomorrow is "supposed" to be a rest day but I wanna try out my new toys... I can't be the only one who feels this way right?!8

None of that sounds good.
Bacon, in buttered cheap white sliced bread. I’ll take mine without brown sauce.0 -
@ctlaws44 Hope you got to leave the office early in the end! And good luck with your race tomorrow. 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.

Total: 15.23 / 300 miles3 -
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

@hanlonsk - Not sure about the Red Dress Run in NO - my kids go back to school that week, but I will consider if you do it. I am terribly slow, so you may not want me as your running buddy.

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.4 -
@ctlaws44 and @garygse - I have run a few 5Ks and they are my least favorite distance. I feel like it takes me too long to get going and about the time it feels ok it is over. I did run one last month as part of my training plan and ran about a mile warm up before the race and that really seemed to help. It also helped that it was right along the beach and nice and cool
@ctlaws44 - Good luck with your 5K kick some of those student interns' butts!
I am not much of a donut fan but if I had known I would have sent the hubby to SideCar donuts they are really the only ones I like.
@Elise4270 - so what exactly is a paczki? Maybe I would like it better than a donut.
@TattooedDolphinGirl78 - I got new shoes on Wednesday (they came unexpectedly fast!) and had to take them for a spin on Thursday!
Started the month out with a long run! Headed out pretty early while it was cool out. Around 5 miles I was SO hungry my stomach was complaining and my legs were starting to fatigue. I had my Skratch labs drops but as soon as I put some in my mouth I thought I was going to puke. Have never had that happen and have no idea why. I stopped and rested for a few minutes and then headed off again. When I got some water at the drinking fountain it happened again. I never actually got sick but boy it felt awful. At that point I was actually thinking about just walking home and cutting the run short but I pushed on and finished the 9 miles I had planned. Thinking how tired my legs were I suspect I probably would have felt better if I had rested today and gotten my long run in on Saturday instead even if it were hotter.

June goal is about 182 miles. This training plan ends right on June 30th with running a half marathon.
I’m starting June off with a bang logging 14 miles this morning! It was hot, but I fueled a lot yesterday and felt good heading out. My only goal was to run the whole 14 miles without walking and I did it. Pretty slow, but I was happy with it given how hot it was.6
