    Congratulations on being released from PT @katharmonic . It's great that you will still get to see her for the occasional massage. Nice running therapy session too.

    Good luck @eleanorhawkins ! I'm not sure I would even attempt running at race pace for an hour. You are going to come out so strong, I think. Sorry your husband is jealous, but I can understand why given what his friends are going through. Don't know if showing him extra attention would help or make him think you're compensating or "guilty." Just hope it doesn't get out of hand for him. He wouldn't take up running with you, would he?

    @eleanorhawkins and @polskagirl01 – Hills on trails terrify me. I am so worried about losing control. Usually I just walk down when it gets too steep. Luckily most of the trail races around here are relatively flat.

    @quilteryoyo – I would flip out if I saw either of those in my house! Here it is snake season and we have come across a couple of copperheads in our neighborhood. That has me scanning the sidewalks like crazy for the rest of a run.

    @katharmonic – beautiful hiking pics

    @skippygirlsmom – So happy you were cleared to run! Seems like your recovery is going really well.

    @pfeiferlindsey – What is this blasphemy about wanting warm weather!?! Noooooo!!!!

    @polskagirl01 I hope those DOMS go away quickly. Sounds painful.

    WHAT? @Tramboman ! You actually enjoyed the treadmill?! Great running.

    @Teresa502 Sorry about the rain. I find it helps pass the time on the treadmill to watch some inane TV show and/or to vary the speed every 2 - 5 minutes. At least, that helps me.

    @juliet3455 Sounds like you are doing great!

    @WhatMeRunning Yay for seeing results from your 6 weeks of base build up.

    Yay for such a nice run @SummerSkier !

    @martaindale Great attitude. Giving yourself grace is important. You're right, you aren't going to lose any fitness in 2 days.

    Nice @RunsOnEspresso ! Sounds like your getting in that training mode quickly!

    Re: location of the thread
    I attempted to delete the discussion the discussion I started (in the wrong location) several times, but it is still there. So I renamed it to "This is the WRONG May 2021 Monthly Running Challenge", and the only thing in the body is the link to the correct location. I see it is tagged as "Closed" now, so hopefully no one else will be able to post there.

    @Scott6255 it's gone now, I still had an old link and tried it.
    Yeah, I snuck in and deleted it...figured no one would mind!

    Thanks for being my guardian angel @garygse 😉

    What's not to like? Especially when it's raining?

    No thanks @Avidkeo, I have no desire to be in the spotlight again.

    @shanaber so sorry that you reinjured your hamstring!

    @martaindale - I promise you I want that sweet spot of not needing gloves/tights/long sleeves but not hot and humid.

    Took my speed work to the track today. Five, four minute tempo intervals with recovery in between. Felt really good.

    @sweetdaisy13 Glad you are able to get back with your running club.

    @katharmonic Great job on getting out and running even when you would rather curl up on the couch. Did you feel more energetic afterwards?

    Nice running @kgirlhart and @Scott6255 !

    @shanaber Glad your fall didn't make your hamstring worse. I hope it is feeling better today.

    I wasn't supposed to work today, but they need me. I guess it's nice to be needed. However, I had signed up for a 4 mile run for charity that has to be run either today or tomorrow. I'm working all day tomorrow, so the plan was to run it today and add 2 miles so I could get my long run in for the week. I'm sticking with that plan and told them that I would be in after I got finished. Heading out in a few minutes for the run.
