Lovely Morning out there Guys! Many blessings to you all.
Thought to add to the discussion r/g wild dogs coming at you and your dog while running. This happened to me 2 years ago. I carry that runner's pepper spray Miss ReynaDay01 mentioned. It was handy, but it took 5-6 direct hits in the eyes before he stopped charging me. It was awful. Pray. And fake charge the dog back.

Hi all!
I'm back from Pittsburgh and managed to hurt myself... I'm pretty sure my 175mi goal is out the window now (along with my BQ attempt in 2.5 weeks). I had an awesome time though, and I got to meet @SonicDeathMonkey80 ! Congrats @Ohhim on your race, it was a tough day for a race out there.
Oh no! What happened!? I will be sitting here being optimistic for you about the BQ possibilities!0 -

It's my IT Band. It's bad... Very bad.
I might still run the marathon but it won't be a PR/BQ attempt for sure; there is no way.

Raced an impromptu "Cinco K" for an organization that works with my girlfriend at her job. Came in first place and won free dinner! It was about 85° and just icky out, so I ran at 10k pace.
6:20, 6:26, 6:31, 00:40 (6:05 pace), 6:25 avg pace.
Impressive Doug!@sonicdeathMonkey80 - How fun! You should have run thru a Taco Bell and picked up a taco during the race and you still would have won!
That's funny! LOL

Hello everyone,
Just saw this thread and I'd like to join. Aiming for 50 miles as I haven't run regularly or with purpose for quite some time, but I'm hoping this challenge will help change that!
6- 3.25 mi

Oh NO!!! I'm so sorry - I just can't believe it. Hugs!
@wendy1fl - thanks for the advice. I think if I was alone I would have been okay, but having Skip and Macy put me in Mama Bear mode. LOL I would probably be hard pressed to pick up Macy, she's almost 70 lbs. We are going to Fleet Feet this weekend, Skip needs new kicks and I told her we would grab some mace while there. She also runs alone so I want her to have something. Then again she's a black belt in karate so maybe I just need something for me
@sonicdeathmonkey80 nice run! LOL @shanaber Taco Bell LOLOL0 -
5/1- rest day
5/2 - 5 miles 8K Steeple Chase Race

Oh no! I'm so sorry! Just sick to hear that. I hurt mine biking and the foam roller really helped me get it better. Now I foam roller every time I run. But I don't have 1/3 of the mileage of you. Hugs to you.

I'm having a sick scare here. Three of four kids sent home sick today, fevers, vomiting. The 3rd run of a 39.3 series is Saturday, which if I make it I hope to run another a week later to make Saturn status in Half Fanatics. I'm practically bathing in sanitizer.
Ohhhhh nooooo! Wear a face mask and hug them through plastic wrap. LOL.
@SonicDeathMonkey80 your mad running skillz make me so envious. Then I remember the story of your first 5K where you came in 1st AND last (at least, I think it was you...) and I get slightly less jealous, because, actually you just work really hard and run a ton. But I still would've been so mad if you cruised by me while drinking a beer at my HM
@Training2BeFast ohhhhhh nooooo! I'm so sorry!0 -

@WhatMeRunning … I have four kids too. I don't even like to read about 3/4 being sick! Better that than when they tag team sickness though. Maybe you should just get a MJ mask. Good luck!0

May 6 - 5k
Better late then never. Was on vacation for the first two days of May and then moved into my new apartment when I got back. Been super busy and today was the first time I could get out and run. So for this month going for 70k and a race too.

03/5 - 8.1 miles Trail
04/5 - Recovery
05/5 - 10.6 miles Trail
06/5 - 12.1 Miles Trail (split into 2 runs)
I split todays run in two as there is only so much rain a man can handle. This morning a nicely paced 6 with the mud not being too bad on the route. This evening a grind up the big muddy hill where I was greeted at the top with some 'Really Heavy' Rain!

I'm really excited to do this challenge I have been looking for something to give me a boost in the running or jogging department of my workout. This will be my first month challenge and today is the 6th of May, yes I'm going to start today. I want to be safe with the miles I choose to be sure I succeed. On the other hand I want to give myself a challenge so I will set myself at 55... 0

No! That's awful! What date is the race? Was yours the week before mine? I'm doing Minneaplois May 31 (though not with BQ in mind, haha!).
I will still hold out hope for you, as slim as it may be! I had awful IT Band pain for two and a half weeks leading up to my marathon last fall, and then come race morning, suddenly it was pain free. Here's to healing!0 -
5/1: 5.2 miles
5/2: REST
5/3: 12 miles (scheduled: 20; left calf was not having it today)
5/4: REST
5/5: 1 mile (meant to bike to rest my calf, but the bike room was closed for asbestos removal)
5/6: 5 miles
Calf is feeling better. Not 100%, but with another night of compression socks, foam rolling and stretching, I think I'll be even better tomorrow for my group run. And hopefully I'll be able to redeem myself with a 20 miler this Sunday. Fingers crossed! Really glad I stuck an extra week into my taper!

I believe you. I have made huge improvements already.
Still would've been grumpy if you passed me while downing a beer. 0 -
