Jun 1 - Walk 0.70 miles - Ran 1.40 miles - driveway laps - trimmed trees
2.10/80 mile goal
Since I only "ran" under 6 miles last month, I have decided to start a plan I have to run the driveway for 30 min without stopping. It's a wunning plan - runs will be run/walks. Today I walked 0.35 miles for warm up and cool down and then did 10 x 1/1 min run/walk. Avg pace for the "run" was 13:49 min/mile. I'm okay with that. (The program is for every other day, but I may do it most days and hopefully finish it before the planned 20 weeks. LOL) Some days I'll add distance because I need to be able to do 10K the first of August - not a race, but my birthday.
At least, that is my plan today. It can always change.
I keep trying to use the tickerfactory, but it won't let me select a ruler - the page keeps refreshing. Today, I tried it on my phone and the same thing happens. Any ideas as to why that is happening? I used it when I first joined this group, so have no clue as to what happened.

June Running Goal: 40 miles
Since, I'm starting back with running/walking, my goal will be 40 miles. On my Garmin app, I have another goal of running/walking for 10 hours. Today, I ran/walked 2.7 miles/40. This was a little difficult run, but my goal is to be consistent with my training as I prepare for 10K this month.7 -
@AlphaHowls I'm pulling for you and cheering you on.
At the lakefront park this morning. Saw my running partner, P, who had been out of town. We have one 5K race this month on Fathers' Day weekend. I think.
6/1 - 3.34 Miles. 54F, Clear. Saw my running friend P this morning.

Oh, I see you did post. Nice job keeping up with the program. A hilly 5K sounds like great prep for getting to your 10K.josefinejem wrote: »I completed week 4 this morning (I'm in the UK); ended up at 5k on a very hilly course so feeling quite exhausted but very pleased with myself now ☺️
I'm on a self-created c25k, I signed up for a 7/4/2024 race and hope to feel good and strong on race day. When is your 10K, how many more weeks of prep?4 -
Neighborhood 1Mile (at 13"42 pace). streak day 32
For my birthday ASICS emailed me a $10 USD discount coupon. I bit. My new shoes will be here in a couple of days. I'll have a month to run in them before race day. That should work.7 -
Yay. New people. Welcome!
Missed my June 1 run as I wasn’t feeling flash. Had a lazy day instead.
Headed out into the forest this morning for my 12k long run. My plan for this month is to increase that by 2k each week, dropping back to 12k for the first weekend in July and repeating that. The aim being to increase my base fitness and be not far from half marathon fitness at all times.
Forest was lovely today, as usual. Very mild for the first weekend of winter.
Found a very cute toadstool, heaps of fat and very cute fantails (who refused to stay put long enough for me to photograph them), and a pair of downed trees across the road, thwarting all mountain bikers and horse riders (ha!). The photo doesn’t do it justice, those trees are pretty massive.

Morning all.
Got in 3.3M (at 09"41).
Was off ill yesterday. Upset stomach (weekly occurrence this!? ..... did eat some spicy food Friday night!? 🤷)
Anyways. Took it easy today.
But already behind the 8ball on my 170 m goal.
@quilteryoyo @SummerSkier @daria0919 LOVE the banter, ladies 😂
@josefinejem hello! Where in England are you?
I'm in Canada Water, London.
@TheMrWobbly is from England too.
So is @eleanorhawkins ... Till she went all Patatas Bravas on us! Lol 😉6 -
Great running @chris_in_cal ! Looking forward to seeing some shoe porn. When is your birthday?
@ContraryMaryMary Great running and plan! Love the toadstool and glad the trees gave you the path to yourself. I assume you had to go around. When I first read your post, I thought that you were saying that you saw "heaps of fat," and was wondering what in the world that was. Then I reread and realized I had subconsciously added a comma to your sentence.
I had to look up fantails. They are a really pretty bird.
@tarun_yadavA I'm so sorry you were sick yesterday! I hope it isn't a weekly occurrence. Glad you felt like running today.

Good Morning Runners!
I haven’t posted in this group for a few months, but I’m back😃 I broke my arm in January, had a plate put in in February and we’re leaving for a week vacation with grandkids today so not much running this year or this week because dag gone it, those kids wear me out! I will set an unrealistic goal of 65 miles this month🤞9 -

Thanks! I'm not actually signed up to any race, I'm just aiming to complete the programme by end of July. I want to join the local running club and I need to be able to run 10k to do that.
Good luck with training for your 5k, it sounds like you're being very consistent which should work very well for race day 🙂

Happy Sunday everyone!5 -
@steviebee888 Thanks for the HM recommendations! I did LA already. Missoula and Indy mini are on my list, so it's good to know that you enjoyed those. I have a list where I compile the races I have been recommended. My goal is to choose races that somehow represent the state, either through iconic scenery or an experience unique to the area.
Welcome @andja87! Happy birthday!!
Welcome back @BeverlyW1108. Your "unrealistic goal" made me laugh! Aim high. 🤩
Congrats on your 10k progress @josefinejem!5 -
June total: 4.9/100 miles
YTD: 392.8/1200 miles
6/2: 4.9 miles
Non-stop running! I chose a treadmill run with a few faster intervals to stretch the legs a little. Coming off a successful HM I feel like I am basically back to normal. The run was actually pretty easy, even with the speed work. Time to ramp up the mileage!
My year goal is going to be a reach but I think it's still doable. It would be an average of 116 miles a month for the rest of the year. So, I'll get to 100 this month then adjust from there. Oct-Dec are usually higher mileage for me as I head into my A race for the year.

June Goal: 215 Miles
6/2: 11.02 miles
I got out for 11 miles this morning. It was 75°F, feels like 77° with 100% humidity when I started out. It warmed up to 83°, feels like 88° but the humidity did drop down to 74%. I remember @pastorvincent always talked about the dew point being a real factor. Well, the dew point was 74° and that was not real pleasant. I actually had a good run though. I felt good and strong and there was cloud cover for most of the run and that really helped. But summer is definitely here.
Welcome to the newcomers and welcome back @beverlyw1108!
Happy Birthday @andja87!
