    @chris_in_cal I've never heard of any of those bands, but their names are interesting. Enjoy! Glad the shoes felt good again.

    I'm glad you had such a nice run @martaindale .

    @Teresa502 Great running and planning that trip sounds trying, but I'm sure you will all enjoy it once you get there. It sounds like fun. Good job sticking it out today when you were struggling.

    Great running and gardening @ContraryMaryMary . I'm with you in adding flat miles instead of hilly ones. :wink: I'm glad you are getting back on track with your running.

    Glad you got out for a run @mari333a . Those soles don't look too bad. Love the new shoes.

    Nice running @Laurz9191 . Sounds like you're enjoying your training plan.

    Oh no @daria0919 . I hope rest and ice is all it needs and it feels better soon.

    Great running @henridw2095 . Love the shoe porn. I hope they work out for you.

    June Goal: 215 Miles

    6/2: 11.02 miles
    6/3: 3.15 miles
    6/4: 6.26 miles
    6/5: 1.10 miles
    6/6: 6.27 miles

    27.8/125 miles completed for June


    I almost missed Global Running Day. I decided to take today as my rest day. I needed to go by and have some blood work done and didn't want to run before having my coffee so I just did yoga this morning. Then this evening I was looking at Facebook and realized it was Global Running Day. So even though I was about to start getting ready for bed I got out and ran 1 mile. It wasn't a bad run, just short. It was hot and it was dark. I do prefer running in the morning. "Dusk" dark feels different to me than "pre-dawn" dark.

    I guess I never posted this yesterday. I guess I will add today's post here:

    I had a great run this morning. It was 72°F, dew point 64° and 74% humidity and 7 mph winds. It was so much more pleasant than the last few days. I ran 6.25 miles and felt like I could run forever.

    @daria0919 I hope the knee isn't serious.

    @quilteryoyo I hope your fingers heal quickly.

    @henridw2095 Nice shoes!

    @chris_in_cal Sounds like a fun music festival.

    Nice running @kgirlhart .

    You can do it @chris_in_cal ! I'm pulling for you.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Great running.

    Nice hill repeats @Laurz9191 ! Glad the slug count is down.

    Nice run @andja87 . My treadmill has helped me get in running/walking when I wouldn't have otherwise.

    16.00/80.0 mile goal

    I did a driveway wun. Following my plan, I walked half a mile for warm up and then did a run/walk of 1/1 min x 12, then walked 0.75 miles for cool down. The "run" was slow for my effort. Avg pace was 13:51 min/mile. Avg HR for the entire 3 miles was 132 with a max of 154 bpm.

    This afternoon, mom, William (neighbor) and I mowed mom's lawn. I push mowed for about 22 min. Mom had push mowed for almost an hour. I really don't know how she does it at 88 yo.

    Today, I ran/walked 1.8 miles. Total: 7.1/40. Trying to understand the drill workout on my Garmin training program. It’s not really clear on what I should be doing. Going to have to do some research. 🧐

    You did great @steviebee888 . I haven't used a Garmin training plan yet. If you can't figure out what it is wanting you to do, just ask here. I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

    @quilteryoyo Thank you. ☺️ Currently, I’ve just been doing my normal run/walk until I clearly understand that drill workout

    @henridw2095 ♥️new shoes!! I use the machs as well and really like them. Enough cushion for longer runs but springy for workouts and racing.

    @martaindale You did great to get out and run when you are that sore. WTG!

    Yeah @chris_in_cal ! I knew you could. Keep it up.

    @tarun_yadavA Oh no. I hope your son feels better soon and no one else in the family gets sick. Good job taking advantage of the situation and getting your run in early.

    34.31/125 miles completed for June

    I didn't post yesterday, but I did get out and run 6.5 miles. It was another pretty pleasant morning. 75°F, dew point 66°, humidity 73% and 8 mph winds. It wasn't perfect running weather, but that's about as good as it will be in Texas in June. I'm taking today as my rest day and tomorrow I will try to get out early for my long run.

    I got out at 5:45 this morning and ran 8 miles. Wore my new Asics and they felt pretty good. The temp was only 51F so it was a perfect June morning. I love hearing all the birds chirping at this time of morning and watching the sky turn from dawn to daylight.

    @daria0919 - I hope your knee is back to normal and @quilteryoyo - glad the injury to your hand wasn't worse. Hopefully your fingers are also getting back to normal.
    @tarun_yadavA - Glad you were able to get meds early; hopefully your youngest will be fully recovered soon.
    Sorry about the loss of your friend @chris_in_cal.

    Sounds like a nice run this morning @emptydog . I hope you enjoy your 5K this weekend.

    I really like that picture too @AlphaHowls ! Great running.

    You did great getting the run in @chris_in_cal . So sorry to hear about your friend.

    Great run this morning @Teresa502 . The weather was pretty perfect this morning. Thanks for the good wishes on my fingers. They are still a little swollen, but they continue to be better every day. They should be back to normal soon.
