You're ahead of me! Great way to start the month. Nice run.3 -
Well, looks like I'm calling it for an.unscheduled rest day today. My lower left calf is feeling a bit tight. Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day. While part of me is losing my mind over two consecutive down days over something that can probably just stretch out with a 4 mile easy run, another part of me is looking towards Saturday's long run, which happens to be the Hospital Hill Half Marathon. I'd rather not put myself in a position where I am mad at myself if this thing acts up on Saturday because I felt compelled to run a couple easy miles. I would rather find myself in a position of being mad at myself for finishing on Saturday without feeling that calf at all and wondering if I could have done the easy run. Worst case scenario, it acts up anyway on Saturday, but at least I tried to rest it.3

@WhatMeRunning wise plan. Since your LR is actually a race, 2 rest days in a row sounds good to me.2
-
OK, I ran 10.5 miles this morning. I will set up my more formal logging system later. 8x hill repeats and 6x 30 second bursts were also done.6

@WhatMeRunning My aunt signed me up for the Hospital Hill 5k when I was like 10 and didn't tell me what we were doing. I was just on vacation visiting her. I thought I was going to die the entire time, but I enjoyed the free pair of tiny running shorts I got for finishing haha. Good luck with it! Maybe I'll do it next year!2

@hesfeld - It is a brutal event for the area! I "raced" the 5k last year, my first time doing their 5k. I did not set my desired record time (the hills!!) and it kicked my butt!! This will be my 3rd year running the HM. It is my favorite HM in the area, I hope to never miss one. Per Strava the course has over 1200 feet of elevation gain!!! I guess that's why I love it. It gives a serious feeling of accomplishment. Plus it runs through a lot of the most scenic areas around downtown KC.2

Should have said "event" instead of race. Better to rest more and have fun at the event than get injured at it..... That make sense? Chasing a toddler makes for less eloquence2 -
Mileage goal for June: 30
Run/plod 3 non-consecutive days per week.
Participate Granite City Days 5K on 6/25
First time jogging as a non smoker. Can't wait to see how different that feels.6 -
@MNlittleFinn yeah! Until you are not on a rest day tomorrow ha ha thanks! Felt good this morning.
In the May thread wasn't someone talking about the Grandma's marathon on the June 17th? I was just reading this article at Kara Goucher will be there running the HM, but will be a featured speaker that weekend.

Newbie here. Just started back running in Dec after a brief 30 year hiatus. I have been running 3.5 miles three times a week after completing C25K, so I guess a reasonable goal for me is 50 miles for June. I just have to make it through the already unbearable NC heat and humidity.7
-
3 miles this morning, 2 of which were running. The 1 mile walking was spread out as warmup/breaks/cool down.
@cameronheel LOL at your brief 30 year hiatus. Sounds like you're doing great having completed C25K and are running 3 times a week.
@juliet3455 I like #9. I think I love exercise but hate training. I become miserable every time my running starts to resemble training. Oh well.4 -
@skippygirlsmom I'm running grandma's I'm totally stoked she's coming. She owns the CR for the half, so it's cool that she's coming back.2

@MNlittlefinn Duh I guess I didn't know the name of the race, I should have put two and two together huh? ! I just love her, I would be over the moon to hear her speak.1 -
Look what I got yesterday! This is really happening!

Just wondering here, who gives out a long sleeve tech shirt for a June race? LOL
Also, my bib has a tear-off portion at the bottom which is a coupon for a free adult beverage. Nice.7 -
I am in for 50 running KMs and at least 100 biking KMs . . . I know this is just a running challenge but I like to keep everything in one place6
-
@RespectTheKitty -So excited for you!!!! I predict that this will be the beginning of an uncontrollable habit for you! Good luck and have fun!
Also LOL at the long sleeve tech shirt. I think a lot of races started offering long sleeves as a draw to participants, but now that they all do it, it's just another shirt in the drawer. Personally, I would love to see races give out race singlets since that is usually what I end up wearing in a race. The only printed one I have is from my running group.
Oh, by the way, I just wanted to let everyone know....I will be running today!!!! (in case ya missed that )11 -

Close . . . I got a long sleeve tech shirt for Canandaigua Half on May 27. And I have several short sleeve tech shirts for races in September and October.1
