So how far did you run in May?

249 in May. It's a little down from previous months because I introduced speedwork and had to reduce some of my weekday runs and I was fighting a case of plantar fasciitis the first half of the month.0

You know, in all my years of running I've never added up my monthly mileage before. Just did it - I ran 134.6 miles in May. Marathon training! I'm tapering now....I'm running Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN....2 weeks from tomorrow!!
ooooo - what pace you shooting for?
I'll be driving up day of as I have a ton of peeps running that and the half (including my DH). I'll be running back from the DEC to about lemondrop to start running people in for a bit0 -
97....Training for the hood to coast in August so next month I'm shooting for 140. Whoa!
I came here to post cause Elizabeth's on my friend string and so I saw she started it...didn't realize it was from a "long distance" runners group. I have never considered myself a long distance runner! I only recently allowed myself to to "call" myself a "runner" at ALL! This is blowing my mind right now...especially since I actually hung with a large group of you!
Mind. is. blown.0 -
90 miles in May. I'm pretty happy with that.

70.5 miles -- I was recovering post-half at the beginning of the month, plus I skipped a long run to try to rest my shins, which were feeling a bit "splinty." (Happy to say that the sacrifice was worth it, because they're feeling great since that little break!)0

Well, my current PR is 4:04 so my main goal is under 4 hours but I'm probably going to aim for somewhere in the 3:45-3:50 range. I don't know for sure how fast to push, I'm in MUCH better shape than I was 1-1.5 years ago. My old (1.5 years ago) 1/2 marathon PR was 1:59 and about 6-7 weeks ago (the end of April) I ran a 1:43 half and felt fantastic the whole time. In fact when I was done with the 1/2 I grabbed a drink of water, then turned around and walked about a mile back out on the course until I found my mom who was also running the 1/2 and turned around and ran the last mile back in with her.
I want to run a smart marathon and not burn out at the end but I also want to push myself to do the best I can. Marathon pacing is hard, I think! Start too fast and pay dearly later....been there and it's not pretty. But I don't want to go too slow and run under my potential either.0 -
I ran 70 miles and I am happy with that since I am just getting back from having plantar fasciatis. Not really training for anything for a while.0

Only showing 52 for May. Looks like I better get busy in June.0

I just did a 1:42:27 half and did my marathon in 3:36:33.....so you might be a bit faster than you thinking. Of course, keeping it conservative is a good idea the first half. I went through 10 miles at 1:25 and the half at 1:50 and change.
Feel free to pm me your outfit etc and I'll be sure to look out for ya and cheer ya on. I am thinking about being at the base of Lemon drop and running with peeps for a mile or so and then coming back for the next person.0 -

Wow, you ran a great marathon! I will probably start out with the 3:45 pace group and see how that feels. Actually I'm not much for running with a pace group but I like to see if I can keep them in my sights.
I have my race number on my postcard and weather will somewhat dictate my clothing choices, but assuming good conditions probably a gray tank top, black shorts and black under armour cap. I'll message you when it gets closer....would be cool to meet a fellow MFPer in real life! Plus my hubby & kids aren't coming to the race, so I won't have any fans to cheer me on. 0 -

Sounds like a plan. I'll let you know my final info as well. I will more than likely be wearing my team singlet which is very distinctive. I'll send you a pic.0 -
221 for me - a little on the low side0

62 miles. Marathon training starts this month, so my mileage will be higher. I'm also participating in the Runner's World Run Streak, so that will add on a mile a day.0
-
93 km - pretty good for me but aiming to break 100 km for June0
-
113 miles for me; it's the most I've ever run in a month.
I'm running my first full marathon a week from today, so in my taper week and enjoying the eating.
My goal is to complete in under 4:00, but we'll see. My PR for a 1/2 is 1:50 right now.0 -
Only 117. Pretty bad for me.0

Joined this a while back but never posted monthly mileage before, 156 this month. Up for me as I am training for a marathon this fall.0
