65.25/65 mile goal

Yesterday, I worked at the daycare all day. I went to the gym after work and then did a driveway wun after I got home. I did a 1/1 min run/walk and ran up the hills when it fell in the running min. It wasn't horribly hard, so I was proud of that.....it was slow though.

Today, I went to the gym early. This afternoon, I did a treadmill session. I had used my RTY tracker to calculate miles, so thought I needed to do 5 miles to make my goal. Turns out I had missed a quarter mile, so wound up with 65.25 miles for the month.

Today's run was 2/1 min at 4.2-5.6/4.0 mph, 37 sec at 6.0 mph. So, traversed 3.50 miles in 45:37 min for an avg pace of 13:02 min/mile. Avg HR was 130 with a max of 153, so not horrible and felt okay. If I hadn't needed it for the month total, I wouldn't have gone that far today. I guess that is why we set attainable goals. LOL

137.12/130 miles completed for April

I took a rest day yesterday, and then ran 6 miles this morning to finish the month with 137 miles. It was humid this morning, but still pleasant overall. I saw my car in the yard when I ran by the collision place this morning, so I knew they were working on it. Then they called this afternoon to say it was ready. I was really glad to get it back. The rental car was ok, but it wasn't as nice as my car.

Congratulations to all who made their goal, and to all who worked on it! See you all over in the May thread.

Yeah @kgirlhart . Glad you got your car back and great running this month.

I finished the month under my goal due to work. Just 138 out of 150 miles. Hopefully I'll get going again next week.

See you in May!

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get to 160km this month, but woke up really dizzy the other day so didn’t run and ended April up short with 152.9/200km. Since I needed recovery that’s ok with me. I wasn’t really sure what would be obtainable right before and right after the marathon. We‘ll see if I can set an obtainable number for May…
