Back into the challenge for May after injuring my hip. I have been running the past 2 weeks using the couch to 10k program and it is going well so far. I am setting a conservative goal of 30 miles and a stretch goal of 40 miles. I have a 5k June 11th that I would like to PR in so I want to take it easy and stay uninjured that is my main goal. I am rediculously slow and get really nervous around big groups of people so as long as I don't panic I should be able to beat my 39 minute goal, just need to get there healthy and ready to run.4

5/1- 4.1 Miles
Total: 4.1/100
Notes on today's run: Quick note, my training plan has my Long Runs on Sunday, but since I've been doing them on Saturdays all along, I swapped the two days. So, Today's (yesterday's) assignment was 30-45 minutes at E. I took the pace easier than yesterday, because I pushed it too hard on my Long Run, but still not super slow for me. Ended up doing 4.12 miles in 45:33 for a pace of 11:03/mile. Run felt good, but my legs and lungs did still feel yesterdays over-effort a little on the run. Tomorrow is a rest day, and I can say I don't mind, with my T-Th a 3 day stretch of hills and easy runs.4 -

@Ohhim Love the outfit!
Good luck to everyone racing today!
5/1 - 2 mi 28 to go
Plan called for 20 minutes nonstop but my calves kept tightening up so needed 2 walk breaks to stretch them out. So should I redo the week or continue on with the plan since I didn't do what the plan called for? I finished week 5 of Couch to 10k (possibly). I am fine with either option since I have plenty of time and don't have a 10k scheduled yet.

Hey guys! I'n new here to this running challenge. (And only started running 5 months ago.) I'm doing half marathon training for an event at the end of June and I think my planned runs for the month take me to around 80 miles plus 10 hiking. I am so tempted to make my goal 100, but I'm afraid it will only lead to injury. So....my goal is 80 miles, 90 if I decide to trail run instead of hike my one Sunday of the month.
Oh! I did 9 miles today (My long runs are on Sunday). No walking or stopping expect to take off my patella straps which were bugging me.
9/90
