    5/25 Bolder Boulder 10K (watch miles were 6.36). I finished in a little under 90 minutes which isn't great but considering I haven't run much this month to take care of my leg it was fine as its my training pace. My leg didn't hurt so hopefully now I can get back to my schedule. I would like to run it again next year and definitely do more hill training.

    Congrats to the other racers today!!

Skip finished 57:49 chip time a PR for her though she wasn't thrilled with it. The "hill" was all everyone promised it was be I did a speed walk up it and wanted to die never mind run :smile: Race was delayed an hour because a tree fell on the course 30 mins before start time. I'm checking mapmyrun and it looks like the hill goes up 100 feet in less than a quarter mile. But before that "hill" it uphill for over a mile.

    90.2 out of 120 miles completed

    Timby1 -again you did wonderfully running your 10k today! That's dedication. Glad you're getting the hip looked at. Praying for you Sis. You have many more months with running challenges to go!
    7Lenny7 - Great race. Quicker than me for sure! I'm sure you'll be picking up speed since you felt like you weren't running that fast and had all that confusion at the start. Even if the race was run a bit sloppy, it was great experience for future runs! KIU
    isulo_kura -I love the photos! You opted not to take the bridge, didn't you! Glad to hear you're excited about more hiking. If you hike as much as you run, you'll be across the country by the end of summer!
    Congrats to all who ran or speed walked "the hill" today at the Cotton Run!!! Lovely job stoshew71 7lenny7 fitnfabulous4530 skippysmom and Skip! Great times too!

    5/7 - 2.25
    5/12 - 3.25
    5/16 - 3.75
    5/17 - 1.5
    5/20 - 3.0
    5/22 - 2.25
    5/24 - 3.0
    5/25 - 2.5

    3.5 to go

    I have my first 5k on Friday and I am super nervous. It is a benefit for a charity that helps get under privileged women ready for job interviews and into the work force and is sponsored by the company I work for. 3 co-workers who don't run but are super fit are going to do it with me. I am more nervous to embarrass myself in front of my coworkers then getting thru the run. I originally planned to use it as a warm up for my "real" 5k on June 14th. That one I planned on pushing harder to run the whole thing and get a decent time in. The one this week I planned on using as a training session but because I have company, and 2 of the 3 like to compete with each other, I am not sure I can. Trying not to be mean but hoping they run out of steam and need walk breaks before I do LOL.

    7lenny7: Congrats what a great time! To take a minute off your training time and only miss your goal by less then 30 seconds is wonderful. Sorry there was confusion and disorganization or I am sure you would have made your goal.

    Had a goal of not puking or passing out for my first half - had a great run, great time, exceeded all expectations. Battled through some IT band issues that set in at mile 6 and have me still in some pain, but I can't wait to start training for the international half marathon in October. I'm HOOKED!

    @jtarmom congratulations! Take care of that IT band.

    On my quest to get as close as I can to my May goal. Boy, do I stink... Ya know that summer time smell of hot sweaty kids...

    Loaded up my bike anticipating a short bike ride tomorrow and hoping I'll get up early enough to get in a swim. I may have a break in all this rain and flooding.

    I have my first Pilate's class tomorrow. Little nervous, I'm extremely uncoordinated.

    Here's some race confusion you don't see every race, thankfully. The runners were supposed to come into the finish line running towards the camera but because of the change in route and lack of adequate signage, several of the first finishers came in the wrong way. Eventually you see runners coming in from both directions within seconds of each other. Crazy! If you're interested, you can watch the first 2 minutes of this video and see it.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=XXNE5OGflyI

    You can see me run in at the end of the video, with a race clock time of 31:44, followed by a woman pushing THREE kids in a double stroller!

    I love the look of confusion on this guy. I think he was the third place finisher:
    https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YEJ6CgkGz2o/VWNOrof7pnI/AAAAAAABLcw/1JC2-JMA9Yo/w793-h595-no/IMG_2118.jpg

    To picture what was going on, here's the route as advertised:
    https://google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zdB_wCUTqw7E.kTxdrijVuvCY

    The way it was shown, you were supposed to start running westbound, then turn back east after a bridge. That middle section was washed out so instead of that middle section, they had it set up to continue counterclockwise until you get to the SW corner, where there was an out & back along the creek. The runners who came in the wrong way actually ran that washout section and had to run in the water for 20 or 30 feet.

    Congrats on the PR! I think the coolest part of this, though, is that you then went out and paced your wife. Well done!

    @kimlight2 , that sounds like a great cause! Teach a man (or woman) to fish, and all that. Absolutely do not worry about being embarrassed. I'm too polite to say what I would think about anyone who would see your efforts in any light other than noble. Run the race in any manner you see fit, but run it your way, for you, not for anyone else.

    And thanks for your kind words!

    @skippysmom and @dennie24, great job!

    I suppose I need to update this:

    5/09: 3.1 miles
    5/11: 3.1 miles
    5/13: 3.1 miles
    5/14: 1.5 miles
    5/15: 3.1 miles
    5/17: 3.1 miles
    5/18: 3.8 miles
    5/20: 3.1 miles
    5/22: 4 miles (new personal distance record!)
    5/23: 0 miles running, but 6 miles walking. I had a lot of pent up energy from sailing all day and had to work it off.
    5/25: 3.1 miles - First 5k race, chip time of 31:23.55...very pleased!

    Progress: 31 out of 40 miles

    My goal is as risk. I felt great when I got home from the race today and had planned on getting 3 or 4 miles of power walking in this evening but while prepping for our cookout, I started feeling a dull pain in my right achilles tendon. I'm a bit concerned that I'll have to take some time off from walking & running. I skipped the power walk but did have to mow the lawn. Using ice & ibuprofen right now. I sure hope if feels better tomorrow.

    @7lenny7 - Good luck and let us know your results!

    Number one, I had a GREAT time and I learned a few things in the process. It was second 5k, but my first timed 5k, and it's only been 16 days since I even started running. There was light rain but it quit just as we pulled up into the parking lot.

    The short version: I ran the course in 31:23.55, a new PR compared my training time by a full minute. A bit short of my goal of 31:00, but I'm happy.

    The long version: I had great support. My wife got out of bed so she could be there with me and my daughter left me a sweet note of encouragement which I carried in my pocket.

    My first mistake was drinking too much water the night before and that morning. I woke up twice to go to the bathoom, went twice just before the race, and felt like I had to go about 30 seconds after the race started. I also ate too much before the race. I got up 2 hours before race time and had a slice of toast, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and a banana. I would have been better off with just a banana. Between my bladder and my stomach, I wasn't feeling at my peak.

    The race had a quiet start. I'm there chatting with another racer and all of a sudden the pack starts to move. No shotgun start, no "Ready Set GO", no anything that we heard and with only 286 entrants, it was not a big crowd. I had put myself about 60% of the way back because in just about every 5k results list I've seen, my time would put me in the middle. As we start going, it seemed like everyone is surging past me and I'm taken up in the rush for 30 seconds or so. I remember that I need to run my race and kicked it back down to an 11' pace. Runners continued to stream by, but I didn't take the bait. I ended up passing many of those folks later on.

    My total times at the 1 and 2 mile marks were 10:40 and 21:00. It sure didn't feel like I was running that fast. I thought about stepping up my pace at 2.75 miles, but I just didn't have it in me. Around 2.9 I felt like I could give it a final kick and hit a really nice stride. Damn that felt good! I passed several folks in that stretch and was regretting not starting the final sprint earlier. Not that I cared about how I placed, I just wanted to push myself and do my best.

    The race coordinators screwed up and it cost some runners, particularly one who may have taken first otherwise. The course they showed online was not the course that we ran. Part of the path was washed out and they had to extend another part by making it an out and back. The first running missed that (NO indication at all that I could see) and turned early. He "finished" in 14 minutes and was pissed. When I reached that point I misunderstood what was going on and took the early turn, but quickly realized my mistake and went back. It added no more than 5 or 6 seconds to my time. I heard several others grumbling about it later. They really did need to have it better defined.

    Next time I'll eat and drink less ahead of the race, and pay more attention at the start. Other than that, I'm happy with the way things went. Now I just want to run, run and run some more. Would it be bad to run a couple of miles tonight?

    I should have smiled as I crossed:

    Congratulations to everyone who raced today! Seems like there were lots of fun races and lots of PRs being hit!! Great job by everyone and I love seeing all the pictures!
    @7lenny7 - in addition to the ice an ibuprofen be sure to add in some calf stretches. They really help the achilles.

    My training plan called for 11 miles, I got in a bit over 8. Our plans for a 'free' day today with lots of unplanned time for running were tossed out to visit friends in San Diego. So I exchanged my running time to sit in the car, but had a wonderful visit with friends from New Zealand that we don't get to see very often. I will get that 11 miler in next weekend I hope!

    I haven't updated my mileage in a long time, but I have been running. Not as much as I planned on, but I still might meet my goal yet :smile: May is always my busiest month - my husband and I farm in addition to our full time jobs and I work local track meets. This month we also travelled out of state for a family wedding.

    5/2 - 10 miles
    5/4 - 5 miles
    5/6 - 3 miles
    5/9 - 15.5 miles - River Bank run 25k - longest run ever and had a blast!
    5/14 - 4 miles
    5/16 - 5 miles
    5/21 - 4 miles
    5/23 - 6.2 miles - Pat Kellerman Memorial 10k - PR!
    5/24 - 10 miles
    5/26 - 4 miles

    Next half marathon is June 7th!

    21 - Rest
    22 - 6mi, easy
    23 - 5mi, easy
    24 - 8mi, easy
    25 - 8.2mi, 5K race


    Had a pretty good showing at the 5K. I stayed close to coach's goal of 6:20s in pacing, ran an 19:48, and snagged 4th in my age group (preliminaries had me at 5th for awards time, but the official results got sorted again lastnight). Seems the 35-39 age group was the weakest, as my finish time netted a whopping 77th place overall. Splits were 6:22, 6:28, 6:30, and 0:28 (the last 0.1 was on the track, and a 5:03min/mi kick). No sense in going all out since I just had a marathon the weekend before and no speedwork. Winner ran a 14:20, top 20 were all 15min and under. The competition this year wasn't as stiff as last year.

    Total: 156.1mi

    May goal: 180mi

Skip finished 57:49 chip time a PR for her though she wasn't thrilled with it. The "hill" was all everyone promised it was be I did a speed walk up it and wanted to die never mind run :smile: Race was delayed an hour because a tree fell on the course 30 mins before start time. I'm checking mapmyrun and it looks like the hill goes up 100 feet in less than a quarter mile. But before that "hill" it uphill for over a mile.
    5/26 - 4.6 recovery miles - ouch :smile:

    94.8 out of 120 miles completed - I am so down to the wire on meeting this! Starting vacation on Thursday for the rest of the month
