    Another 6.5 miles today, but only 51 miles MTD. For a variety of reasons I've only run 8 times, but worked out indoors 5. I'm still shooting for 100 miles, but it is going to be very close. OTOH, my bike and rowing is very good.

    78 degrees this morning and 77 % dew point. Absolutely brutal.

    So its day 6 of running and have some more questions (sorry) firstly when do you guys take rest day if u actually do? because its such early days im scared of taking a rest day as it might be doubly hard the following day and also worried I will lose the bottle to keep at this

    Secondly just for the lady runners its my ToM and today I know its been hot but I felt every step today and it felt extra hard somehow im wondering do u guys find it harder at this time?

    1. I take a rest day when I feel like it to be honest - sometimes I run 3.5 miles one day and 1.5 the next because I'm not feeling 100% or my legs are tired feeling. I lift a few days a week too and some mornings my legs are tired from that and I'll either not run or run a mile or so just to loosen up. I always listen to my body and do what it tells me. This morning I wanted to run at least 3 miles, but I started to feel sick to my stomach when the feeling didn't pass I made my loop home instead of continuing.

    2. TOM - can't help you there - I'm in menopause so no longer an issue (thank you Lord). However, I know when I did get it I would be wiped out the first day or two, day one was always bad cramps and day two was the start of a heavy flow. Don't beat yourself up if you aren't feeling up to running when it's at it's worst, but sometimes exercise is just what you mean to make you feel better.

    Went on vacation July 1 and just getting back in the game today with my running schedule! I usually strive for 50 miles a month, but since we are halfway through July I will aim for 25!

    Ty it is day 2 of mine and stomach is tender as for taking a rest day I think its gonna take time to listen to my body as I have to work out between whether I need a rest or just want to get out of doing the run the idea of going out and running is just worse than actually going out and doing it and it takes a lot to push myself out the door lol
