    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
    5/8: REST
    5/9: REST
    5/10: 15 miles
    5/11: REST
    5/12: 4 miles
    5/13: REST (aka: I accidentally took a 2.5 hour nap instead of running...)
    5/14: 6.7 miles
    5/15: 5 miles
    5/16: REST
    5/17: 20 miles
    5/18: 3 miles

    Total: 83/155

    My legs felt way too fresh today for having run 20 yesterday! That tells me my fatigue yesterday was way more mental than truly physical... gotta figure out a way to block the mental fatigue before race day rolls around!

    I'd really like some of that post race (sometimes mid-race) food that @SonicDeathMonkey80 posts pictures of.... or take a rest day with this Dr. Jack Daniels that @Stoshew71 quotes.... however, with my lack of running miles it looks more like I need to fall back in @LoneWolfRunner 's pack :o

    Ran to the gym so I could swim tonight, got there and the pool was closed for maintenance. Lifted for a bit and ran home.
    2.5 miles is all for me today. Yesterday's trail run was rough on the hamstrings.

    25 miles total.

    Ran with my hydration belt. Wasn't bad. Was incredibility hot and humid. Sure I'm sun burnt. Ran at lunch and after work. I anticipate being short this week with rain and appointments.

    7. 48 total today..most in one day.

    42/75

    Ended up postponing my Sunday long run to avoid doing it in Florida's mid-80s heat & high humidity, but ended up doing it today in Pittsburgh's low 80s heat & humidity + thunderstorms... so much for that strategy.

    Falling way behind on my cycling challenge mileage, so may cut back on a few runs in the next 2 weeks to get in more time on the saddle.

    5/2 - 2 miles
    5/3 - 26.2 miles (3:44 total time, 8:33 pace)
    5/7 - 6 miles
    5/9 - 4 miles
    5/10 - 12 miles
    5/12 - 4 miles
    5/13 - 5 miles
    5/14 - 4 miles
    5/15 - 3 miles
    5/16 - 5 miles
    5/18 - 12 miles

    Total: 83 miles
    Goal: 100 miles
    Remaining: 17 miles

    ^^^^ @CodeMonkey78 - Congratulations! That is awesome!
    @italysharon - the Santorini picture is beautiful. I suspect it was a challenging run to get there but definitely worth it!
    @SonicDeathMonkey80 - Awesome job with the pacing in terrible conditions! Those 2 runners will never forget what you did for them and hopefully will pay it forward at another race!!
    @LoneWolfRunner - I feel exactly the same on my rest days and hate it when I check in here and see all of the running going on - I can't however roll over and go back to sleep. I know I need the rest days but sometimes it is just so hard not to run! Who knew I would EVER feel that way!
    @_nikkiwolf_ - Great job putting those endorphins to use :laugh: You definitely get to enjoy the couch tomorrow, maybe have some bonbons while you are lazily sitting there reading the challenge updates :)
    @Elise4270 - I don't go out without sunscreen, ever... I hate getting sunburned and being a redhead I fry easily! I don't envy all of you in the heat and humidity already! I would be running at 4 am to avoid it!

    Cool and overcast here this morning with even a bit of drizzle! Perfect running weather. Training plan called for a timed 50 minute run not including warm up and cool down. Tomorrow is a Race Pace run. Hope this weather holds!

    I learned during my run in Sunday's heat that if you turn down the wrong road, suddenly a short soft run gets long and hard...

    04/5 - Recovery
    05/5 - 10.6 miles Trail
    06/5 - 12.1 Miles Trail (split into 2 runs)
    07/5 - 10.3 Road
    08/5 - Recovery
    09/5 - 17.3 Trail
    10/5 - Swapped a recovery day due to twinge in calf
    11/5 - 10.8 miles -2 runs one trail and one on the road
    12/5 - 8.2 miles Trail Hill repeat
    13/5 - 11.8 miles Trail
    14/5 - 13 miles Road with the Hound of Love
    15/5 - Recovery Day
    16/5 - 11 Miles Trail
    17/5 - Recovery (swapped day)
    18/5 - 21.6 miles Trail

    My back was still giving me issues on Sunday so I swapped a recovery day to hopefully help. So Monday it was no better (so much for an extra recovery day) so I went for a run anyway. The pain settled down after a few hundred metres. Surprisingly after my run my back was so much better so obviously you cure a bad back by running it into submission. It was a beautiful day lots of sun trails were a mixture of mud and dry fire road. I kept out of the hills thinking technical descents would irritate my back.

    Lovely day and lovely run

    @shanaber yesterdays push in the heat gave me a lovely migraine. I'm not sure where I'd run at 4am, even if I could get up that early, oh I do have a TM... Ok, maybe even round our small addition...I will have to change something. Migranes leave me just brain dead. I can't even remember words or names. Ugh, *whining* being a runner is hard..... :blush:
