I'm back (again). At the beginning of May, I optimistically posted that I was getting over being sick in April, and should be back... I was very wrong! A month, antibiotics, a pulled muscle in my ribs from coughing,, and a lot of resting later, I'm finally feeling almost back to normal. And tomorrow is the last day of school!
So after April and May off, I'm finally back! Going to start off with a 25 mile goal of running and/or walking and see where that takes me.7 -
My goal for June is to try to post more frequently here and 90 miles.
June 1 a HUMID 4.6 miles.
Was melting by the time I got home and had to sit for a while before I could shower and get ready for work. It is amazingly LIGHT out this time of year too. My injury is still recovering and sometimes I have to remind myself that like all things it is not a linear progression. Last night I ended up taking an excedrin at 11:45 PM because it was aching while I was trying to sleep. My toe looks ugly but it does not hurt at all. Only annoying.
Really nice to see everyone posting and welcome to old and new alike to the challenge. I am close to 700 miles for my Run the Year and another 233 of intentional walking so I expect to complete the challenge on schedule with running and walking.7 -
I'm excited for another month of running. I'm going to optimistically set my goal for June at 75 miles. It'll be a stretch, but it should be possible.
My biggest issue is having enough energy at the end of the day. My only chance to go to the gym is when the kids are in bed. I've been tweaking my diet, and working on other factors (changing meds with side effects, my caffeine addiction etc). I'm really hoping it'll improve this month.7 -
June Goal: 105 Miles
6/1: 6.25 miles
6.25/105 miles completed for June
I started out June with 6.25 miles. I felt really good. It was a nice morning for a run. I saw a couple of male cardinals and the wildflowers have been especially pretty this year. I love early mornings this time of year.

Happy belated birthday @chris_in_cal 🎈🎂🎉
We are the same age 😄2 -
the thread is moving fast again!!! Yesterday my throat felt a bit scratchy so I left work at noon. Stayed remote today as I have more cold symptoms - no fever and neg covid test so far. But decided as long as my resting HR was still normal I was not fighting a significant virus and I felt ok so I went out for a WOG. Tried mostly to keep my HR below 150 and my breathing easy so as not to stress my system.
June goal 90 miles (and that is reasonable even more now that I have got some sort of bug... sigh)
Was rewarded for my efforts with this gorgeous sunrise!

6/1 - 4 miles
Total June: 4/75 miles completed
I'm pretty much maxing out at 4 mile runs. I would like to get up to 5 mile runs this month, and then start working on speed a little more.6 -
Thanks for setting up June @martaindale . It is really hard to believe that it's June already.
Love how you are protecting your toenail @SummerSkier ! I hope it works.
Great goal @polskagirl01 ! We should all aim to be the best version of me we can be. Glad you had a good day yesterday and great walk, even with the preschoolers. The guinea pigs are adorable.
Welcome @Glow87 ! You'll love this group.
@eleanorhawkins I'm exhausted reading your list!
Glad you are finally feeling better @ScienceofTeaching !
Don't know how I missed seeing that it was your birthday @chris_in_cal ! Hope it was a great one.
I hope you feel better soon @SummerSkier . Lovely sunrise!
I haven't posted in a couple of days, just due to time constraints. I think my internet issues are a thing of the past with my new system. I did catch up on the end of May and liked, hugged, and commented as appropriate.
The summer months are so hard for me to get my runs in with playing tennis and all the yard work and other things that take up time during the day/week. So, I am going to leave my goal at 80 miles, but hope to exceed that.
Yesterday, I only had time for a 2 mile walk on the treadmill after taking mom and her two sister's to Hot Springs NC for most of the day. So, not a great start to the month, but at least it was something.7 -
Always good to have your messages @quilteryoyo and I love the support you give.
I may have overstated my mileage target even though it is a mix of walking and running. Having decided to sign up a swim membership I will be swimming two or three times a week and I don't get steps for that. Let's see how things work out.
Our illustrious leader is also doing a charity bike ride from Doncaster to Brighton (376 km/234 miles) and, in support, we will be riding a stationary bike at work, and that will take a few more days out as I will be riding for an hour or so on those days.
Going to be a good month for calorie burn!

Happy belated birthday @chris_in_cal!!
Welcome @Glow87 and welcome back @ScienceofTeaching! You have had quite a month. Glad you’re feeling better.2 -
June total: 13.1/100 miles
6/1: 10 miles
6/2: 3.1 miles
I never got around to posting my run yesterday. I moved my long run to Thursday because I have to work on Saturday and it’s too hot to do that many miles in the afternoon. I went to the spring creek greenway trail again. It has definitely become my favorite long run spot. Only saw 1 snake but it was moving too fast for me to get a picture.
Today was recovery miles before work. It gets light so early right now it makes it feel like I’m not running at 5:30 in the morning!6 -
That 3 hours of sleep Wednesday night caught up with me...I couldn't get out to run this morning. So did 6 miles on the TM after work.

Thanks @TheMrWobbly . You are going to have a very active month.
Great running @martaindale !
I hope you slept better last night @Scott6255 . Great job on the after work treadmill run.
June 1: Walk = 2.00 miles - trip to Hot Springs
June 2: Wun/Walk = 2.00 miles - also mowed mom's lawn
4.00/80 mile goal
I knew that we were going to be mowing mom's lawn this afternoon, so only did a 2 mile wun on the treadmill late morning. I walked for half a mile and then ran enough to keep my HR above 100 for another mile or so, and then walked to the end. My Avg HR was 100, with a max of 121 bpm.5 -
I am excited my new running shoes should arrive tomorrow. I'm just not loving the ones I've been running in.
June Running Goal: 17 runs, 45 miles- June 2 - 3.0 miles

Good Morning ladies! (+Scott... +Chris... + @TheMrWobbly [hi! You from England??] )
Got in a 4 today!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!6 -
It's been hot here, and busy with the end of the school year (graduation, awards ceremonies, final exams, and trying to finish grades). Went for a walk with mom yesterday to start off my month. 1.35 miles.
Have a busy day planned today, so I know that I should get out this morning while I have time (and while it's still cool out), but it's the first day of summer vacation from school, and I am feeling very lazy. Not sure if I have the motivation to lace up shoes and start moving yet.3
Thanks all for the kind wishes.
