    Family and work don't allow me very much time to run.
    I'm new to running and really don't like it.
    But I set an April goal, It was low compared to everybody else but I met it.

    So this month I'm going to set of 24 miles. My April goal was 17.

    Do something you like?

    May 1- strength training


    exercise.png


    I don't like it when my first day of running for the month won't fall until the 5th! But I had strength training today and again Monday, then probably biking both Sat and Sunday! So that means I will run 3 days in a row on T/W/Th. Can't wait! Hmmm, depending on how much biking I do on Sunday, maybe I will run Monday anyway. :wink:

    I'm shooting for 116.2 in May. I'm feeling like I have my sassy pants on since I met my April Goal (it only took me 3 months to meet one, LOL)
    Bloomsday is this Sunday in Spokane, WA. Anyone else going to be there? I'm getting nervous...

    @briebee7 I just want to say you marathon runners are truly an inspiration and I love reading about your experiences! I'm sorry to hear about that calf. I don't run many miles & struggle with calf tightness often. I did finally try that Yoga video for tight shins/calves in the group page & found a lot of relief with it. Have you tried it?

    Busy busy weekend with little to no time for running. Got in a 'longish' run today in the heat and only the last mile+ was really miserable. Good news is by Monday it should be cooler! I hope so! Definitely wishing for some spring weather here!!

    Ok - this sounds like a fun way to keep track, I'll go for 60k in May. Seems low but I'm just getting started running and I will be out sailing for the last week of the month. So hard to keep up my workouts when I am on the water.

    05/02.....2.14.......2.14>>>>>>>>>>> miserable run this morning- side cramp- got super itchy. didn't really hit my stride till after a mile and a half- and I knew I was going to only be doing 2-3. :( ran a 15 minute mile- then an 8.20 mile. WTF.

    whatever- it's done. Gonna shower and hustle up out the door- I have a very full weekend of dance in front of me!

    @Wendy1Fl Thanks for sharing! I will try this. My calves get really tight. I don't like doing child's pose because of that.

    5/2 7.5 miles I never really found my zone today and it was a pretty blah run but I got it done which I guess is what matters.
