@martaindale Thanks for setting up June!
@tarun_yadavA Good job getting back into the running! It seems like it so far, so good! I’m sending you good vibes too!
@polskagirl01 Hope you have fun meeting up with the running club and the shirt fits!
Wow, there is lots of shoe purchases going on at the moment! Good job guys!
We had a 3 day weekend over here in Germany too. Unfortunately I couldn’t run, but I did get to go to Cologne to watch my oldest play LOTS of mini soccer games in a U9 tournament. It was fun and we were outside the whole time, which was also nice.
Today I finally got to my goal 201.7/200km with a 9.4km run. I wasn’t that motivated and it was way too cold for the shorts and t-shirt I had on, but once I got going I felt good and it (or I) warmed up along the way as well.
I was planning a long run tomorrow, but I seemed to have pinched a nerve in my upper back this afternoon while stretching to kill a moth (karma???). I can barley stretch my left arm or move at all really, so who knows if I will be able to run tomorrow. Fingers crossed

Hopefully it wasn't your juju that caused the girl I was meeting to cancel for today 🤣 Oh well.
In other news, my sensitivity to coffee is apparently back, oops 😬. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I needed to go for my own short walk and I hope I can sleep tonight.
Thanks @martaindale!7 -

149.56/115 miles completed for May
I ran 5.25 miles this morning. It was a lovely run. I got up a little late, so it was already getting light when I headed out. It was humid, but at 65°F with a light breeze it was really nice. I was able to change my route up a little since it wasn't dark and that is always kind of fun. I did have to detour once because they are repairing a bridge and the road was closed. I started to go around the block and I saw a big dog heading toward the street. I turned back hoping he hadn't seen me. Then he started barking, but when I looked back he was running the other direction chasing a cat. It was one of those mornings where I wished that I had more time to run.
Thanks for setting us up for June @martaindale!

So just going for 25Miles for May
Gonna go to the gym today and do the Elliptical for an hour or so... three days consecutive might be pushing it... So I max out at 18.3Miles for May (no Excel sheet this month so had to log into Strava and add up!).7 -

@Laurz9191 aww thanks 😊
PS: next time - just open the window and shoo it and hope it goes away! 😊1 -
@Laurz9191 all seriousness - hope you get better soon! You have been KILLING it on Strava! 💪1

@kgirlhart - well done! Amazing hitting 1492

That's me done for the month. 90 miles of walking with 36.17 miles of C25K, doesn't count as running yet with all of the walking included. Hoping by the end of June I can start a 5k streak every other day.
Going to start putting a limit on the walking pace as well. Anything over 17 minutes a mile I won't count as my HR only gets into zone 2.

I set my mileage goal low this month at 75 miles due to some hiking plans (I'm almost embarrassed to post this after @alphahowls monthly report). I ended the month with 89.21 miles and I’m happy with that. Congratulations to everyone who made their monthly goal, to all those who got out there and tried, and to all those rebounding from injuries! See everyone in June!

Never be embarrassed by someone else's place, plan, or plate! I certainly do not want to upset anyone or make any feel badly.

My Garmin Connect created this cute summary of May. All I really care about now is the # of runs, and distance. The "Total Activity Time" is interesting too. I ran just about 10 hours in May. That ought to creep up as I get more fit.

Walked 24km for the month. And that's OK.
Came across this determined little friend on my walk today, because I went one driveway further than before 🥰
Looking beautiful in a difficult place to grow.10 -

I was truly just joking. You NEVER make me feel upset or badly! You are an inspiration to all of us!6 -
Unexpected car trouble today meant I didn't have a chance to run or walk, so I didn't quite make my monthly goal.
