Thank you, everyone for the support. Yeah, that sucked. I would advise against getting food poisoning, if you can help it. Back to the running.

12.5 km in a long hot run. Boy that was tough. It's going to be so nice once it gets cooler in October! 55.73/70 km for June. Will hit 70 km but not sure how far I'll get past that, it's getting too hot.0

@skippygirlsmom - WhooHoo! Congratulations on your PR and 3rd place finish!! That is awesome!
@scoutmomof8 - Congratulations finishing your first 5K and under 50 minutes! Fantastic job!! The races can definitely be fun and very addictive!
@7lenny7 - it really is amazing the difference a little running makes isn't it! Most people who know me can't believe a) I am running at all b) how far and how much I run and c) what great shape I am in and how much weight I have lost!
For everyone who has done or is going to do the Trooper Dees virtual run - you are welcome! I just reposted the link from Facebook. His mom is the one doing all the work!
I did manage to get my 13 miles done today. I went out early and it still got hot before I was finished. I also walked/ran the last 2 miles. But I saw some beautiful egrets, herons, red winged black birds and even a king fisher. I did get warned of a coyote sighting along the river and got spooked by a big dog running off leash (first thought... 'holy crap it's the coyote, what do I do now' )
My happy smiling training partner! I tried to make it smaller - not sure why it is so big and the other is more reasonable.

Woohoo 5km done this morning, its the first time I've done it for a while due to my ankle and I finally managed to get a sub 30 minutes time (29:34) It was tough out there as I haven't done it for a while and its really muggy this morning, I had to walk several times in the last km so I'm really chuffed to have got that time Finally my ticker is kicking into life this month!

My planned late night Thursday run got canceled as my Wife was too ill to leave. Yesterday's long trail run 28.4 miles around 2000 feet of climbing in just under 6 1/2 hours. A lot of the trails getting more overgrown now especially on the coastal paths section (I call them paths but thats being a bit generous ;-)) it was a steady pace still trying to get my nutrition for my 50 dialed in but finding it difficult to eat. Next weeks long runs I'm going to try a bit more on the liquid route
Hopefully get a few easy miles in today

June 21 - 6.71 miles -- walked the last mile because I was in need of bathroom and bottom of one foot was tender. I think it's time for new shoes! So when I got home and opened garage, I took out my app to stop it, saw I was at 6.66. So, of course, turned around, jogged down a couple houses and back to remove that number. As I approached my house again, I saw neighbor's dad, who is visiting, looking out the window at me. I'm sure he was curious why I would walk up to my house, open garage, then jog away for 30 seconds and come back.

@skippygirlsmom love the reasons to not date a runner. When my husband farts I'm a little less offended. Not sure I'll ever get use to the snot rocket in parking lots though.
@ddmom0811 SHOES! I love new running shoes! Let us know what you get!
@isulo_kura good luck with the diet. I know nothing of the nutrition need to fuel/train for long distance.
I'm hoping for a decent run today. I've found that if I just go with no expectations, I do much better. If I set out to do 5-7+ miles, I peter at 2.5.0 -

@7lenny7 I took ibuprofen before I ran yesterday and I toe didn't bother me. During today's run there were times of "ouch, ouch".
@ddmom0811 is your foot black and blue or anything? Yeah I wouldn't finish my run at that number either!
@isulo_kura sorry your wife isn't feeling well
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!0
