The start of my training plan had me do a 2 min warmup, 5 minute hard run, and a 2 min cooldown for a baseline. Did it on the treadmill since running outside hurts. Surprised at the 7:09 pace since treadmill running always records so much slower than outside.
Followed it up with a 3 mile run just because.

Great Scott! I'm copying you! I had sort of glossed over your August goal.I will start my training plan Aug. 1 for my 15K race in October, but I can't see the full plan schedule, so not sure how many miles are planned for this month. I'll just say 80 miles and see how it goes.
My 5K plan starts today too, for a Saturday November 2nd 5K. I have the same 2/5/2 first run assignment.
In choosing the plan I selected 16-20 mile/week running. So for the month I guessed 16x4 and rounded to 60 miles for the month. Also, I selected 4 runs per week so I guessed 18 runs for the month.
I might finagle it in the last week to try and meet the goal, but I'm confident I'll be pretty close either way (without the dreaded injury sidelining me.)
I'm excited to see all of your prep....15K is a fun distance, no shortcuts.7 -
I don’t actually know what my Garmin Coach plan has in store for me (it doesn’t reveal info on more than a couple of runs in advance), but I will aim for 40 miles/64.3km in August.
Rest day today, first run of the month tomorrow. Happy running, everyone!

August Goal: 130 Miles
8/1: 3.53 miles
3.53/130 miles completed for August
I ran 3.5 miles today. It was so hot. It was really a struggle starting out. I started out slow, but I worked to increase my speed and ended up with some nice negative splits. My splits were 12:21, 11:53, 10:46 and 9:56 for the last half mile. It was a tough run, so I felt pretty good about it.

1 Aug - Walked 1.00 miles - Ran 0.00 miles - Treadmill
1.00/60.00 goal
I had an echocardiogram this morning, just to ensure my bicuspid valve is still holding it's own. Then, mom and I ran some errands and saw two of my great nieces. Today is the oldest one's birthday. I was very tired after we got home (I didn't sleep well at all last night) so I just did a mile walk on the treadmill to keep the streak going.

5 miles to start the month yesterday. I don't know why but I hit a wall at work around 3 when all of a sudden I was exhausted. So strange. I still managed a mile walk after getting home but it was as if I had been drained of all energy. No real reason. This morning I feel better. Perhaps the heat and humidity and smoke took a toll on me. The AQC was not horrific at 80 something but still I could tell it was dusty with that sahara stuff we get. I went to bed very early not because I was sleepy but because I had no energy to do anything.8

No running on the schedule for the first couple of days in August. Yesterday I went to Pilates after not going for 3 weeks. It was so hard and I am glad I have a rest day today. I am going to try incorporating a short walk on rest days this month, so today it will be on the treadmill after work. I’ll have to find a fun place to see. Also getting a massage later today, which will be very nice.7

Great pace @chris_in_cal .
Nice run @tarun_yadavA . Thanks. I'm sure it is fine. I'll find out in 4 or 5 days. I always say that it is good if they let me leave because I know if the tech saw something that needs immediate attention, they would not let me go. LOL As for Sunday, the only thing I am planning is mom taking me out for lunch after church. We have an important church wide meeting Sunday night I want to attend, so no time for much. (I'm United Methodist and they are having some issues with doctrine these days, which is what the meeting is about.) My neighbor is taking me and mom out to eat tomorrow night at a nice place we went to last year. I'm not sure when I'll get my "run" in. It won't be on Sunday.
Great run to start the month @SummerSkier . I'm sorry you felt exhausted yesterday. That is the worst feeling. I'm glad you are doing better this morning.
@martaindale I hope you aren't sore today. It's amazing how much you lose after only 3 weeks off.5 -
I’ll set my August intentional miles at 40.
I took a break due to the heat. I know August will still be crazy humid, but I don’t want to stay away from running for too long. Fall and cooler less humid weather will be here hopefully in about 6-7 weeks.
I hope everyone’s been well!7 -
Good morning! New to the group. Starting off with a goal of 70 miles for the month.
Good luck everyone!

August Goal: 130 Miles
8/1: 3.53 miles
8/2: 6.05 miles
9.58/130 miles completed for August
It was another tough run this morning. Between the heat and the ragweed pollen I feel like August is going to be a long month. I did run 6 miles. It started out hard and I felt like I was struggling for the first couple of miles, but once I settled in I felt better. I got negative splits, so that always makes me feel like I accomplished something. I also saw this pretty little hummingbird at the park when I stopped for a sip of water.

I’m sticking with the 50 mile goal even though I’d like it to be 60. Still too much family stuff going on so aiming for 50 miles running & 180 miles on my bike & keeping up with the yoga. My husband & I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary yesterday. We went out for dinner & it was lovely.
02/08 4.08 miles
