June 2018 Running Challenge

@rheddmobile It is better today, but not back to normal yet. I still went to the dr. to see what they can do to help. I had x-rays and am waiting for results.

@scott6255 The workout was part of my taper week which I found surprising. My ticker does some weird s&!t and it only gets weirder when I correct it. I've got two days to take it easy before the race Saturday, I'm feeling good so I'm excited. My little brother is racing the 5k this year instead of the half so there's no head to head family face off. (secretly I'm wondering how close I can come to his pace for the 5k on my half.)
@skippygirlsmom Law and Order is well worth a rest day. It used to be on at the gym in the morning and I often did extra to get to the end of an episode. No sound but CC to read.

I took Monday off after my long run, and hubby and I decided to just go swimming last night since it was so hot. It didn’t help that our a/c at work was out Monday and Tuesday, so I really didn’t feel like running after anyway. I got in 3.5 miles tonight as a make-up - it is normally my rest day.

40.37/120 km not gonna make goal this month!

It's so stinking hot. But I got in a slow 4.61 km on the treadmill. Didn't hurt as much as a first run after a break normally does for me. I wasn't nearly as tight & sore. So that's something . Actually I felt pretty good. I just wish the rec centre treadmills had a longer time limit (30 min max). It was busy when I got there so I couldn't do 2 back-to-back runs the way I usually do.

Forecast for my trail race Sunday is stinking hot with high humidity. Looks like they reworked the route to make it a bit more technical too. Should be fun - I'm okay with taking things slow and easy. As long as the race helps me better myself or learn something about myself, it's a successful race after all .
