    6/2 - 5.3 miles
    6/3 - 3.2 miles
    6/4 - 4.4 miles
    6/5 - 2.3 miles
    6/6 - 1.6 miles - rest day today but did this to keep the 41 Days of Awesome challenge streak going
    6/7 - 7 miles - I'm so proud of this run it was at 10:21 pace, which is fast for me - I was comfortable the whole run :smiley:
    6/8 - 4.4 miles
    6/9 - 5.8 miles
    6/10 - 1.6 miles - rest day today - just keeping the 41 Days of Awesome challenge alive. I'm trying to do this mile at a faster than normal pace for me. Then I grabbed Macy and took her for a 2 mile walk.
    6/11 - 6 miles
    6/12 - 4.7miles
    6/13 - 4.6 miles
    6/14 - 9.6 miles very hot miles. I think it was about 83 when I went to run. Went to the Greenway to be in the shade. Sweat was dripping off my shorts by the time I was done. I was ticked I couldn't run the whole 10 miles so I went back out after getting my water for a fast paced .6 mile walk.
    6/15 - 1.6 miles - keeping the 41 Days of Awesome challenge alive :smile:
    6/16 - 5.6 miles
    6/17 - 3.2 miles -short run, had to get Macy to groomer by 7:00 :smile:
    6/18 - 7.4 miles my virtual run for State Trooper Dees.
    6/19 - 1.6 miles for the streak and strolled a couple with the Macy after

    84.9 out of 120 miles

    @torituma4 UGH Oh yeah nothing worse then feeling bloated and running
    @shanaber glad you like your new shoes. Sorry you aren't feeling good still :-(
    @elise4270 I'll keep my fingers crossed on the injection
    @danipatt1216 You should be proud. I'm no expert when I'm trying a new distance I slow my butt down, I want to make the distance running. Next time I do that distance I pick the pace up a bit and so on like that. I try to make my distance and don't concern myself how long to takes me to get there. I keep hearing people say "speed comes with miles", well if I'm killing myself during miles 1 - 2 and I can't get to 3 then what good is it. I say all the time I'm built for distance not for speed :smiley: This morning I knew I was going only 1.6 miles so I went out faster than I would going 3 or 4 miles.
    @7lenny7 I know nothing about HRs at all so I know someone smart will tell you all they know LOL I always tell Skip this "not every race can be a PR, it's not possible" I tell her to track races against the previous year when she ran that race. Every track is different, conditions will always be different.


    So for the past 3 or 4 days my toe has been hurting me. When I start to run it really tells me it's not happy. Last night I had to keep my foot out of the covers because the blankets hurt touching it. Well I took the nail polish off this morning and took a good look at my foot. Guess I don't examine them much ha ha! My middle nail is all bruised and the whole toe is bruised. At least now I know why it hurts, I just wish I could remember what I did. :confused:

    Funny list of things new runners are embarrassed about:

    http://runhaven.com/2015/05/12/things-newbie-runners-embarrassed-get-quickly/

    I've become a professional at #5

    5. Blowing snot out of noses. When you first start running, you might bring along tissues or just let the mucous stream out of your nose and onto your lower lip. You might try to daintily wipe it away with your sleeve. Over time, however, runners will learn the art of the snot rocket (also called the farmer’s blow). This involves applying pressure to one nostril while violently blowing out of the other nostril and watching the snot smack onto the ground.

    @torituma4 - ugh! I totally feel you. I am an empty stomach runner. Even before a half marathon, I only have water or maybe a cup of coffee with a little sugar. Sorry it went so poorly. Good job for giving it a go and toughing out 4 miles!

    @Stoshew71 - I've haven't read anything on the subject, so not heard of losing muscle while sleeping. Since I run so early most days I never eat or drink prior to running. You drink a glass of regular milk before running? I can't imagine that. I try to drink a protein shake the minute I get back from my weight lifting and running because I read about getting food in right after exercise... but didn't know about the sleeping. I'm afraid to try it with the Florida heat!

    I normally drink 1% Milk.
    I will drink whey protein isolate with some milk AFTER I run, along with Gatoraide. But that doesn't stop muscle breakdown after fasting for 7 or 8 hours sleeping then go running. So I was thinking I need something other than coffee after I wake up before going to my run.


    Here are a few articles on this:

    @Stoshew71 - how did you get used to the milk? I feel awful if I run within a few hours after anything resembling solid food. On the bright side, I tend to eat a lot of evening calories.

    @stoshew71 are you running in Research Park in the morning? I'm running at 5K here at 7:00.

    What's everyone planning for the weekend...anyone else got a race on the agenda?

    The ankle has been playing up again so have rested it for a few more days. Did a run tonight and it feels fine. Hopefully I can get back to regular runs again.

    I'm not running the 5K but will probably start my long run at 5:30 from Panera. I still have to see how I feel in the morning with my sore glute to determine how far I run.

    no need to qualify- if you run and have a goal- it's fine.

    I'm a lifter- I just want to get SOME running in- I'm happy to have a goal- but I get way to ambitious- so I'm quiet happy with myself at this point to just claim that I ran at some point during the month LOL- no apologies or justification needed.

    All who run are welcome!!!!

    @mandync5497 welcome!!!

    @bbandme glad the ankle is feeling better

    15.4/31

    @skippygirlsmom lol I should have specified a bit more for my run/time thing. I have a set 3.1 mile course I do by my house and when I ran the length of time I did I still had another mile to go to get home lol. My total time dropped even with me walking because i was speed walking after the run. I definitely slowed my running speed down but bumped up the walking :smile: definitely proud though.
