112.71/100 miles completed for May
I ran 11 miles today. It started out pretty good. It felt cool enough starting out, but it was humid and it didn't take long before I was feeling it. I ran through the cemetery. The boy scouts put flags out on the veteran's graves so it looked pretty neat with all the flags. I checked to see that my grandfather and great grandfather and father in law had flags. (My dad is at a veteran's cemetery 60 miles away, but my sister and her motorcycle club went there today. I'm not sure who puts the flags out there, but she took pictures and it looked really nice.) Then I headed to the park and continued on my run.
I felt good for most of the run. But after about 9 miles I was needing to use the bathroom. I never used to need the bathroom during my runs. Luckily I was on my way home and I was almost back to the park. I was glad the bathrooms were open again. I live about half a mile from the park so I probably could have made it home, but I was glad that I could stop at the park. But when I got the bathroom the clasp on my Garmin just fell off. So I pulled the rubberband from my ponytail and used it to hold my watch closed. It worked pretty good. Then when I was leaving the park I caught my foot on the curb. I didn't fall, but I did have that moment of flailing arms trying to catch my balance. So at that point I just wanted to get home. But as I headed home my watch was staying put and I felt better after using the bathroom so when I got home I was at 10.3 so I ended up going around a couple of blocks to get to 11 miles.
I did contact Garmin and they are sending me a new watch band. So far I have always been pleased with their customer service. I switched the hairband for a safety pin and so far it is working, but I did charge my old Garmin in case I need it.
I guess that closes out May for me and I surpassed my 100 mile goal by 12 miles. I guess I need to think about next month's goal.

So I think I’ve sorted out a June goal for myself: 50k.
That’s 4K 3X a week, minus 6k in case I need to take a day somewhere.
Really I’m hoping this month I’ll get up to running 5k, but in the spirit of keeping my goals achievable, I’m going with this.7 -
I didn't see that anyone else had created it so I went ahead and set up the June Challenge and you can find it here...
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10834261/june-2021-monthly-running-challenge/p1?new=1
Be sure to come over and post your goals for the first month of summer in the Northern Hemisphere or Winter in the South!8 -
Thanks @shanaber for getting us started for June!
I finished off the month with a 9km run on the muddy route I did last Friday. There was absolutely no smell from the landfill this time, so maybe it was just the wind or something they were doing differently last week. It was a nice run, and my shoes are rinsed off and out drying on the fence
I'm only about a mile short of 100 miles for May, still have time and could theoretically jog over to the school to pick up my kid today... but I'm pretty sure I've already done that this month and haven't counted it, so... it might annoy me more to feel like I'm just adding distance for the sake of a number. I probably won't do it.

Awesome running @tramboman and congrats on your PRs!
@shanaber, lovely tribute to your mom. I know what you mean so much, hugs to you. Thanks for setting up June also.
@polskagirl01 cool run for your work meeting You are doing so awesome and you will be ready for August.
@teresa502 great job hiking in the wind and rain. It's good prep and glad it wasn't too bad.
@scott6255 great job on another HM, and I too am amazed at an under 2 hour time as your stop and take pictures pace. Awesome.
Nice job on your run @kgirlhart. Hope your Garmin band gets replaced. Clever thinking with the hairband.
Nice May total @sweetdaisy13 and great job making your goal @penguinmama87

114.01/100 miles completed for May
I thought I was done yesterday, but I ended up running 1.3 miles this morning to end May with 114 miles. Today is the last day if the Run the Year Space Streaker Challenge. I did a run streak in March, but you can also count walking (or 20 minutes of exercise). So this time I have been walking at least a mile on my rest days. I planned to just walk today, but the weather has been stormy and everything is wet and cloudy and gross. So I decided that a mile run would be quicker and more fun. It was a good run and I kind of wanted to go further but I had stuff to do so I came on home. Great work on hitting your goals and if you didn't quite make it, great job getting out there and there is always next month. See you all over in the June thread!

I have no new running to report - May total was posted Saturday at 100.4/100 mile goal.
Hike report: Franconia Ridge Loop (long)Hiked the Franconia Ridge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire on Sunday, May 30. The forecast over the last few days had dropped like 20 degrees and the chance of rain was steadily increasing, so we nearly abandoned the plan to do this hike, but I’m so glad we didn’t. We drove to Boston Saturday night and stayed with a friend, then a shorter 2 hour drive to the trailhead in NH early in the morning. We started hiking about 8 am and it was good weather to start, mid 40s and partly cloudy. I just wore my long sleeve shirt with no jacket to start because I knew I would get warm quickly. I had thin gloves but took them off almost immediately and stored them in my pockets (and stupidly didn’t put them on again later).
The hike started out with some beautiful waterfalls and pretty quickly gaining elevation – a lot of the elevation gain is in the first 2-3 miles with 3480 ft gain in 4 miles. As we climbed you could feel it getting cooler but I waited until about 2.5 hrs in when we got to the first summit – Little Haystack, which is about 4800 ft. But that was a mistake because as soon as we got up there it was like being hit with a wall of freezing wind. I don’t know what the mph were but it was enough to feel like you had to fight it to stand up. I took a pic at the summit and then quickly ducked behind some rocks for shelter and dug into my bag and put on my down jacket and then my windbreaker over that, my neck buff, hat and ski gloves. By the time I got all that on my fingers were so painfully cold. I had to take a minute to get them warmed up before I could take the gloves off long enough to get some food out of my bag and get some much needed food and water. We didn’t want to stay long in that wind so we ate quickly and then headed out onto “the ridge”.
The ridge itself is amazing. It’s an exposed rocky ridgeline above the tree line that runs from summit to summit as the backbone of the range. It started spitting rain with a little freezing rain just as we were heading out onto it but fortunately that didn’t last. The views from this ridge were just amazing in all directions despite the cloudy day. You can see the Presidential Range, including Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the northeast. My friend was so excited by the coolness of this ridge that she could barely keep from running it (she kind of did, but stopped to wait for us a few times). We kind of rode this ridge up and down to summit Mount Lincoln, Truman and then Lafayette – which is the highest peak in NH outside the Presidential Range at about 5200+ ft. The wind died down in places and picked up again but it was never as bad again as that first summit. We were about 4 hours in at this point and we took another break to eat huddled in a rocky shelter.
We then started descending, which was equally or sometimes more challenging, and tough on the ankles and knees stepping down from rock to rock. We could see in the distance the “AMC Hut” which is the Appalachian Mountain Club’s lodge that has some food, water, and bunkrooms for hikers. We got there in about an hour though it looked closer. They are not currently open for staying or serving food, but they had brownies and coffee that you could pay for on the honor system. We had no cash so no brownie or coffee despite how amazing that sounded, but using an indoor bathroom was almost as good. It had started drizzling at this point and after a quick break we headed back out to get the hike over with as quickly as we could.
The rest of the hike was all descent but made trickier with the increasingly rain-slicked rocks. I slipped and fell on my butt only once, but a friend said it was the most gracefully done landing on your *kitten* he’d seen. Not harm done. The long day was catching up with me but we kept up the pace as best we could and just powered through. As always, the last 2 miles of the hike seemed eternal. We completed the loop a little over 2 hours later, for a total of 7.5 hours hiking. The rain had stopped briefly when we reached the parking lot and it felt amazing to have a chance to get out of our wet gear, get the boots off, and change into some dry clothes. We were starving and in need of real, hot food so we headed to a pub in a nearby town that ended up being really good. After this much needed fortification we had the long drive back home (with multiple stops for coffee, bathrooms, and hauling stiffening muscles in and out of the car). I arrived back in my house at 12:30 am, almost exactly 20 hours from the time I got up. I slept like a very tired rock.

Finished out May with 151km. I've not been very good at cross training, and am putting it off again today. Just can't be bothered with the cold weather.
Tomorrow I have to get up at 530am for my run since I start work at 730am. I hate working in ED some days.

WOOHOO! I was not entirely sure I'd be able to get it done, but happy to say I knocked out 10 miles again today. This was a key point in training to see how my body handles double digits before I push further. I have a half on July 10 and my goal is to get to 12 before tapering down.

We will see if there is anything left in me tomorrow to squeeze out a 5K. I'd love to make that stretch goal.
Daughter overheard me last night say that I wasn't sure if I could meet my stretch goal. She said to me, "You run 5Ks all the time, you really want to meet your goal, so I think you should just do it." Well, of course you can't let a little girl down who has faith in you so this morning I laced up and ran. Actually felt good and worked out the kinks from the long run yesterday.

See you all in June!6 -

5/31 - 13.11 yay I did a HM today
80.95 of 50 miles
Sorry been off my computer for a few days, I need to catch up.
Before I fell I signed up for a HM each month challenge. Today I did the first one I could, which was May. I had a goal of the first 8 miles in under 2 hours, it was 1:58, I figured I’d be toast by then so before I started I said I’d be good with 4 hours figuring I’d walk the last 5. I actually finished in 3:22. I ran anywhere from 1/3 of a mile each mile to the whole mile. I was so excited. Ankle felt good the whole time. I’m just tired.9 -
It was cool here this morning, but at least we didn't have frost @Tramboman ! Nice run.
Just WOW @AlphaHowls !
That hike sounds hard, but really beautiful @katharmonic !
I'm so glad your ankle is doing so well @skippygirlsmom ! You did great!
Congrats to all that met their goal for the month. For those that didn't, you did great getting out there and doing what you could. Next month is out there to be conquered.
Due to being sick, I didn't make my goal. I did manage to walk 31 miles and run 30.90 miles. Considering there was an entire week I didn't run at all, I'm happy with that. I also played tennis or did yard work for 14:21:26 hh:mm:ss.

Congrats @skippygirlsmom that is really impressive!1

@katharmonic - that view and hiking along the Ridgeline looks so awesome. We were in the White Mountains many years ago (maybe 30!) in the fall when the leaves were all brilliant colors! Absolutely gorgeous and the people we met were wonderful.
@pfeiferlindsey - you can't disappoint a daughter no matter how old they are! 😊
So much great running happened this month! So good to see so many hit their goals, come close to their goal or just get out and get as much running in as life allowed!
I didn't make my goal but came closer than I expected and my highest mileage month so far this year and my hamstring seems to be improving! That's a win as far as I am concerned. Run today was good but next month I HAVE to be getting out earlier, especially if I want to continue running with Hobbes the Vizsla. He just can't take much heat any longer.
I also need to be running a bit further for my 'long' runs. Even though I am supposed to be keeping them short(er) I signed up for a HM in September (this will be #28 and my last...) and while I plan to walk at least some of it, no PR planned I do need to be better prepared than I am now.
See you all in June!

I made my modified goal which is to not give up and keep running. Life is kicking my *kitten* though. My mom is needing 24/7 care. The new thing is we got a lady to stay with my mom overnight so we could get some sleep, and the lady had a heart attack on the third night! She’s going to be fine but we are back to no help, and my mom was severely panicked by an ambulance outside in the middle of the night when she had no idea what was going on. Geez what are the odds.13

@rheddmobile I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things will start looking up for you soon.1
-
Oh NO @rheddmobile ! That's horrible. I'm glad the lady is going to be okay, but you need a good break here soon. I hope you get it.0
-
OMG @rheddmobile that is crazy! I hope you can find some other consistently reliable help and that your mom can settle into a routine!0

Biggest hugs @rheddmobile0

@rheddmobile I'm so sorry to hear this. All the hugs and thoughts sent to you. I wish we could all take a shift and help out to give you a break.2
