5/30- 6.0m Trail, making my total for the month 60.2 miles. (I know I will not be able to fun tomorrow.) My goal for May was 45m.
I typically just go out to run for fun and to shut my mind down, so I didn't know what I could do if I attempted to actually apply myself. This was the first time I set a goal with the intention to meet it, and I really enjoyed seeing how every little and big run added up. I am excited to see what June brings!0 -

Thanks @Elise4270! Got my socks ordered and a tank top too the socks are sold out in many of the more popular colors but if you aren't picky it is a great deal! 0 -
5/30: 5 miles
So far: 105 miles0 -
Omg, sounds like we have a lot in common. One after another for me too. I have some muscle imbalance issues. My hips do the snaping thing when I'm sitting and extend and bring my knees up. My PT said "just don't keep doing that, its a tendon and youll aggravate it" .
Wow, solid advice from the PT lol. Sounds like my ortho- he just said "I don't know, seems like you're managing the pain okay. Just be careful" after I explained that the excruciating pain and frequent knee dislocations were making it hard for me to train. Wouldn't even order an MRI. That's what I get for expecting empathy from a surgeon
I did get in another three-ish miles running and walking with my momma last night. She and the dog took a break at the river while I did some extra laps on the access roads. I've been trying to talk both of my parents into doing a C25K program so we can do a charity run together in the fall, I may almost have mom convinced. Been a bit obnoxious about it, really- strategically left the book Older, Faster, Stronger on their coffee table last week.
Anyway, TLDR- adding 2.9 miles, put me at 50.3 this month.0 -
Congratulations to all for running hard this month! You've all been an encouragement to me. Yesterday I was to run 11 miles per my training plan, only made 6.63 miles. Praise the LORD, I did it today! Glory to God!

The "hill" was all everyone promised it was be I did a speed walk up it and wanted to die never mind run Race was delayed an hour because a tree fell on the course 30 mins before start time.

@SBRRepeat keep on them! I nag my 20 yo son all the time to run. Its not a popular position! But I saw a poll or study that said within 6 years your spouse would likely follow you in running.I figure that would also extend to close family and friends. If my daughter wanted to do something with me, I'd be all about it.
Docs are something. Told mine about my bothersome knee. He said "that's normal" ugh... But if I want an MRI or blood work he's gold. Apparently does not have faith in PT or the like. And he's a D.O.
Last day of the month! For a bit I didn't not expect to get this close/meet my goal. Husband says he's running my final 3.25 for the month with me today... He's still n bed...
Longest run, best run yet yesterday. I am not sore or very stiff. I don't know what's changed. I've been proactive about rehabbing the piriformis muscle. I had very little calf pain yesterday and could push harder. If I remember, I take a few (3) baby aspirin before a run. Took double the dose yesterday. I tried to head out and a storm was coming in. Waited 3 hours, took more and headed out. Wonder if it's my rehab work or the cure all aspirin. I also have been free with my calories.
Community question- I committed to Higdons 12 week half plan. (Will just repeat a few weeks to get me 18). There is a 5 and a 10k scheduled. Do you, (should I) try to make these races? I can see the potential benefit... Just wondering about others positions on this. This is my first...0 -
