May 2015 Running Challenge

Just spend about 30 minutes catching up for the week. Loved reading about everyone's runs and races - congrats to all. I'm also glad the dog incident had a safe ending....scary stuff. Sorry to hear about the injuries....hopefully they mend quickly!

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
5/7: 6.1 miles

Total: 29.3 of 155

Calf is getting better, but I decided to play it safe rather than do my scheduled 8 today. But! I got to try out a pair of New Balance Boracays that the NB rep brought in for the Thursday running group at the local store, and then she sent us home with free t-shirts and pint glasses!

Finally got my first run of the month in!
5.1 miles on a mix of local MTB trails and pavement. Did last half mile at my 5k pace just to see how I felt. It was great

03/05 - 5.04km

This week has been a complete write-off
I have had one or two of the kids home sick everyday this week so no chance to run (night time isn't an option now that daylight saving has ended)
Will start fresh next Tuesday (can't see me running Sunday morning given how I feel now)

5/8 2 easy miles. I have a dr appointment on Monday to hopefully find out why my heart rate at an easy pace has been going up the past month or so instead of down. 2 miles in the 14mm rage should not have gotten my heart rate up to 182. Any ideas?

DATE...............MILES............TOTAL
5/1...................6.25.................6.25
5/2...................6.50...............12.75
5/3...................6.00...............18.75
5/4...................Weight training
5/5...................5.25...............24.00
5/6...................5.00...............29.00
5/7...................5.75...............34.75
5/8...................Weight training (Trail race tomorrow)

@kristinegift I love free stuff!!! I hope the calf feels better
@SBRRepeat glad you were finally able to get a run in and are feeling better
@shortmrsn nothing worse than the kiddos being sick. I hope everyone is 100% soon.

Good luck to everyone running races this weekend. Don't know about the weather every where else, but it's been awesome here! I love 80s and no humidity!

I jammed my left big toe into a raised piece of sidewalk about a month ago. It was rather painful and just would not get any better. I finally went for x-rays yesterday because I was getting sick of it bltching at me when I'm running on it. Doctor just called and said it is fractured. I wish he would have waited until Monday to call. I have a 30k trail race tomorrow.
