    I would love to join. I am in for 50. I just ran 3.1 miles today. I signed up for a 5k and wanted to be comfortable before it got here. Started 3 weeks ago after taking about a year off. Felt great.

    @isulo_kura and @skippygirlsmom - hill running still intimidates me a little. There's pretty much no hills where I live, so everytime I run further away from home and come accross one, I'm torn between "I'm sure there's away around it" and "no, I should run up there, it's probably really good training". And halfway up the hill I come to the conclusion that the first idea would have been the better one B)

    @shanaber: thanks for the information on Skora! Most of my running shoes have a 4mm drop, but I was thinking about trying zero drop at one point. One more company to look at when I do that. Sounds like you had a nice run with them :)

    @Daisy471 Exiting plans for the weekend - enjoy the trail half!

    --

    I was going to take Thursday as a rest day and do a little speed work today. Then they announced temperatures of 90F for today, so I changed my mind and decided to do the running yesterday evening instead to avoid the heat.
    (That's totally my reason, not the fact that I had already changed into my running clothes last night when I remembered it was supposed to be a rest day, and it was such a nice evening outside...)

    1.6.15 - 3.2km
    2.6.15 - 14.0km
    4.6.15 - 4.3km

    6/1- swim/ bike day
    6/2- 3 mi.
    6/3- rest day
    6/4- 5.7 mile trail run- long warmup, 7x 3 mins tempo, 2 minutes recovery, cooldown. Probably picked an unnecessarily hillyand technical trail for this particular work out, but it was so lovely and fun, it was worth it :smiley:

    6/1 - 4.0 miles, still a little tender from Saturday's race
    6/2 - 4.25 miles; 8.25/120
    6/3 - 4 miles, indoor track; weights/abs
    6/4 - 4.9 miles, Trek/treadmill - would it kill my Y to put some fans in the cardio room?!?
    6/5 - 4.4 miles, a little humid, but nice!

    @isulo_kura @skippygirlsmom @_nikkiwolf_ I have learned to love running hills! I especially enjoy them as I am running past a lot of people as I ascend them during a race B)
    Seriously, just like running in general, just start adding them slowly and you'll learn to love them!

    Posted on RW today is an article about a shoe company that will help you identify and correct areas to improve your running form.

    Seems to be some basic stuff. I figure with so many new running faces this might be of some value.

    I'm kinda taking it easy this week. Its so friggen hot. And I'm addressing the ongoing self rehab. Although I have found some help from a doc. He put me on cymbalta. First day was a noticeable improvement. I'll have SI joint injections in a week.

    @autumnblade75 - that is really interesting about your treadmill. They are evil you know :) Seriously I am so glad it has worked in your favor and I am sure there is a sub 30 min 5K in your future!

    Absolutely. I actually prefer the treadmill to outdoors - I love all the numbers. I've got a 10k this Sunday that has disrupted my Half Marathon training somewhat: today was supposed to be a rest day, but I ran next Wednesday's run today, and everything until Wednesday will be run a day late - that aligns a 6 mile training run on Sunday and my long run on Monday, after the race. With any luck, I'll manage the 10k in under an hour, and that will "count" for a sub-30 5k in my book. :)

    6/2 - 5.3 miles
    6/3 - 3.2 miles
    6/4 - 4.4 miles
    6/5 - 2.3 miles

    Painful run today - then while running I realized I have only had one rest day since 19 May....well that explains the tired legs.

    Welcome to all the new folks, great to have you all here!

    Its been a rough start for June. I have only been able to get out running a few times. I have been walking/hiking while on vacation. But finally got out last night and the pain! I don't think I had such a bad run since I started this crazy adventure. My calves, shins and side cramps where all on fire at the same time. I feel like I need to take today off but I have my First 10k Saturday morning. NOt sure what to do or how I am going to feel now?

    June 1 - 5.1 miles
    June 2 - strength training
    June 3 - 5.3 miles
    June 4 - strength training
    June 5 - 5.35 miles - beach run!

    back of one heel/ankle is sore this evening - could have been from the beach run. If I wear heels it is much better. So I'm walking around in shorts and high heels. Wonder what my husband will think when he comes home. :wink: Going to ice it now.

    @skippygirlsmom - wow that's a streak you have going! May 19th! You deserve a rest day. But you are probably like me, you don't want one.

    @skippygirlsmom - Streakin'!!
    @ddmom0811 - high heels and shorts... hope you are not going out for a walk in that :)
    @mmabry72 - welcome back! Good Luck with the 10k - you will be awesome! Just have fun with it!
    @briebee7 - Have fun with the trail half - I am envious... well just sort of. A trail half would actually frighten me!
    @SimoneBee12 - glad you are feeling better and able to get out running again!
    @SBRRepeat - lovely trail even if hilly, for a run!

    Very slow, tired run today. Between the sprints and strength training my legs had nothing to give...
    Plan calls for another 12 tomorrow - 13+ with warm up/cool down... we shall see how many this tired body can actually manage. Going to bed early! Hope everyone racing this weekend is amazing!
