    I'm setting a goal of 50 miles this month. I've just started a 5k to 10k plan to increase my distance over the summer.

    Next race is a 7k on 7/7.

    01/06 3.52 miles

    I did 1 mile this morning but it was just too hot so did the rest this evening after it cooled down with load of thunder and rain.

    Thankyou for the welcome back! @Elise4270, @Kgirlhart & @Shanaber. Looks like there are a good few of us starting back so thats motivation alone.


    @marisap2010 - sorry you lost your dog, they become part of the family.

    Damn you Gary!! I cannot stop thinking of leaving work early to get a donut. I've made karaoke songs in my head to such thoughts.

    I have a 5k tomorrow morning (NASA Langley 5K Moonwalk and Run) that I hope to break 20 min finally. 5k's suck in general. They're a ballz out DGaF race. Plus there are several student interns participating. All said and done I'm going to have to sell out hard to rep the old folks.

    June 1 – 9.51 miles (4.5 miles of hill repeats)

    @stoshew71 – Thanks for getting us started again!

    I’m going with 75 miles for my monthly goal. I’m starting Beachbody’s 80 Day Obsession workout and food plan. I need to loose a few pounds that have crept on and since I don’t have a half marathon until October, I figure now is a good time to cut calories, focus on cross-training and back off on the mileage.

    Oh I missed a donut conversation... Is it his Strava run of the day? How about some paczki's? I've never had 'em, but think I'd really like too! Gary, please bring the group some paczki's. :heart: :yum:

    It is doughnut day today so it must be on Strava.

    Here in Canada at Tim Hortons they were selling breakfast sandwiches on a doughnut instead of on a biscuit or English muffin.

    I kind of shuddered when I saw the ad, tbh.

    None of that sounds good.

    Bacon, in buttered cheap white sliced bread. I’ll take mine without brown sauce.

    @ctlaws44 Hope you got to leave the office early in the end! And good luck with your race tomorrow. :smile: I've never actually run a 5K race myself, and was mentioning to the group just yesterday that I should probably think about doing so.


    First sweaty run of the month down...plenty more to go.

    01 - 15.23

    Total: 15.23 / 300 miles

    It is only 4:45 pm my time and we are already 5 pages in!

    Goal for June:
    Continue PT for Plantar Plantar fasciitis
    50 miles for June – run/walk depending on foot
    Incorporate speed work on Tuesdays each week (also dependent upon foot is feeling)

    Two sessions of PT done for Plantar fasciitis, and so far it is improving

    @RespectTheKitty – Glad you answered @girlinahat on running in a cemetery

    June 1st. Scheduled rest day, so zero miles for the month so far.

    Tomorrow is a travel day. I might get a shakedown run in late tomorrow afternoon. Sunday is a half marathon.

    I've made the executive decision that I will travel without my laptop. This decision is easier since my daughter convinced me to do the tedious labor of converting my filters in Thunderbird to be server-side in gmail. It also means I won't be following this forum for two days, because I can't handle the small cell phone screen plus the atrocious size and quantity of ads MFP pushes at me on conversational screens. So most likely, I'll be skipping a couple hundred messages when I get around to posting my first non-zero status of the month.

    @Elise4270 - You missed the canonical answer to the question:
    Q: How do you get into a locked cemetery at night?
    A: With a skeleton key!

    I've only needed to get into a locked cemetery twice, and unfortunately I neglected to bring a skeleton key both times. Once I stayed out, the other time the young guys with me talked me into scaling the gate.

    @shanaber That's not helping me stick to the plan. ;)
