@SonicDeathMonkey - Congrats on the 10k-ish win at the 5k! That is hilarious! I'd ask what the free dinner was but seeing as how it was a "Cinco K" I'm guessing it was tacos. Hey, that's why you didn't bother stopping at Taco Bell, isn't it?
@Training2BeFast = So sorry to hear you might not be able to run 100% for your qualifier. At least you can still run your events though, hopefully that's some consolation. Hoping you heal faster than expected!
Still healthy today so another easy 3 miler! That's it for me until I go "Running with the Cows" on Saturday though.
5/2 - 6.07 miles

One week into the challenge:
5/1 3 miles
5/2 8.5 miles
5/3 8 miles
5/4 0 miles
5/5 4 miles
5/6 4 miles
5/7 0 miles, but 45 min on the elliptical machine
Total 27.5 out of 110 miles target.
I use the elliptical machine on Thursdays. Since I get up for exercise before the sun comes up, I run on a treadmill during the weeks - I just don't enjoy running outside when it is dark. Once a week, I use the elliptical to get some variety.

@training2befast sorry to hear that Pittsburgh didn't go well. There should be a few good late season flat races that could serve as BQs (vs. your target race) you can run in September (Via marathon - Allentown, PA, Erie-PA Marathon). Good luck with making a full recovery!
Finally laced back up the shoes for a slow 6 mile run with some friends today, as 3 days of post race non-running recovery before a light easy run was about all I could handle. Probably went about 2 miles further than I should have, but took it about 3 min/mile slower than my marathon pace. I'll take another rest day tomorrow and focus more on the swimming/biking until my next run on Sunday.
5/2 - 2 miles
5/3 - 26.2 miles (3:44 total time, 8:33 pace)
5/7 - 6 miles
Total: 34 miles
Goal: 100 miles

I actually got in my car and drove to run with people this morning! Most of my running is from my front door and by myself with the exception being my Tuesday morning group (still from my front door as we meet 2 blocks away from my house
). It was fun today. I think I may make it my new Thrusday run - 5.5 miles with lots of hills.
@Training2BeFast - I am very sorry to hear about your injury. Hopefully you heal quickly and can find another flat, fast marathon to do for your BQ.0 -
May 6 - 5k
May 7 - 6k0 -
May 1- 3.5 ™ …thats tread mill
May 2- 0 …
May 3- 6 ™
May 4- 5 Newport Cliff run!
May 5- 3.2 & pump
May 6- 4.5 neighborhood run
May 7- 3.2 & Pump
One week in and I am tracking, but this week was tough for me & I am sore. I think I need one long run a week to bang out some of these miles and perhaps get two rest days instead of one. I should easily be able to do 6,6,5,4,4…. or 8,6,5,3,3. We shall see. Enjoy the beautiful weather runners & best wishes on your races.
