So I sadly haven't been on this discussion page since the first day. I had knee surgery a few years ago and my knee is starting to act up and swell again. This has set me back so I've only been walking and biking. I know that this is a running group, but I've logged 23.11 miles walking and 25 miles biking. I wish I could be running, but I'm trying my best with this set back!
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!! feel free to add me for constant motivation
I typically post a discussion question on my page every morning and some motivation! 13 -

Zoom zoom! Heading to my spouse's company retreat this weekend. Last time we went was several years ago, where we did a lot of drinking with the youngsters and got into a really stupid misunderstanding-based fight. This time we've signed up for an 8 AM fun run on Saturday and I'm looking forward to checking out the trails around the lake and getting as much work done on my laptop as possible. I'm not mad about the free food and drink, but I'm not planning on going bonkers, either. The times, how they change.

@lporter229 - beautiful trail! I agree about the nature sounds - I rarely run with music because I prefer hearing all the critters.
@marisap2010 - I see you're doing the Wineglass - in Corning? I'm signed up for that one too - but just the 1/2.0 -
After a heavy legs day Weds, running 5k on pavement Thurs, and spending all Thurs night on my feet at a horse show, this morning my knee is cool to the touch, not puffy, and not painful! Hoping that this is a good omen for the future! I still have fluid in the Baker's cyst at the back of my knee but as long as that remains asymptomatic the Ortho says it's fine to run on.8

Did my sad little "hill" repeats this morning. Now waiting patiently for my coffee.5 -
Got out of my comfort zone and went for a "run" outside. I have no problem walking but running/jogging is not something I'm super comfortable with. However, I have decided to push myself and so I downloaded a couch to 5k app. Not only did I finish day 1 but I was feeling good so I added 4 cycles of running after the 8 in the app. I may regret it later but for now I'm feeling pretty good.
6/8 ran 12 minutes/ walked at a brisk pace 48 minutes for a total of 3.75 miles.
Total for the month 8.75/40. (Not sure why the tracker isn't updating. It updated on a previous post but not here

6/1-rest day
6/2-6 miles (hot and humid)
6/3-7 miles (mix of trail and paved)
6/4-rest day
6/5-7 miles total including 4X1000m speed work and strides
6/6-5.4 miles on trail
6/7-1 hour strength training
25.4/120 miles
I finally dragged my butt to the gym last night for the first time in ages. I did a runner's specific strength workout. It took me about an hour. It's a two day a week plan, so I think I can handle that. I was hoping to get a run in afterwards, but it never happened because of stuff. So today I will be running instead of having a rest day. It's hot and humid and I already wishing I had gotten up early and knocked it out.

6/1 = 4 miles
6/2 = 5.5 miles
6/3 = 10 miles
6/4 = 3 miles
6/5 = forced rest day (stupid work)
6/6 = 13 miles
6/7 = Vinyasa yoga class
6/8 = 12 miles
A fitful night sleep last night had me rolling out of bed at 7am. WAY to late to try and run 12 miles but I am crazy so I did it anyway. It was SO HOT and humid at the end. Someone actually stoped me at mile 11.5 and asked if I was okay - lol. I must have looked as miserable as I felt. I was barely shuffling that last mile. My running clothes are a biohazard right now. I would say they need to be burned but I don’t think they will ever be dry enough to burn ever again.

People....I ran 5 miles!
(It almost killed me, but I did it)
Considering that at the beginning of May a single mile was painful, I think I'm doing ok
No run tomorrow, and Sunday is race day. I'm super excited!
(Yep, something is definitely wrong with the tickers...it's adding the miles but not updating when you post.)20 -

Sometimes (often) the tickers just take a bit of time to update here. Usually if you close and reopen or refresh the page it will show correctly.2

We also do step ups to a single leg balance using a high step - about 3 ft for me. It is getting easier but was really difficult for me initially - the top of the step is past my hips. It is really a glute workout!
Ima hafta find a step.
sounds like a good way to strengthen that buuuttttt!
Dh is insane. He said he wanted to sign up for a 5k this/next weekend. Knock it out, but im not ready. So he signs us up for a championship dualathon next month. Gah! I'm going to be last, last last of lasts. Farts. Come on!
What do i need to know? I dont have a tri bike. I dont have the typical attire or knowledge. I dont look the part.
They're all gonna be "who the xxx is this lame ssss person?" Not the iron Nun!
Its a rather manageable distance. 3k run, 22k bike, 3k run and hilly. But I am not ready for competition. Not not not not not...
Help!
I am not sure that I am ready for that either, but I would love to do this!!!
Ooooh, come do it! Come do it, come do it!!!! Hahaha!
Its Draper Lake duathlon if you decided to come up! @BEERRUNNER, DH and i met up hwre and did the POOP run last dec.

Norman OK
I was going to look up last years times to make myself feel better about it. But havent yet. Still a little intimidated. And i need to buy some duathlon shorts i think... Or change?
ok @elise4270 I'm talking to hubby tonight. I won't be fast, but I should be able to get this done. I'm in as long as he is good with it! I'll let you know tonight.5 -
