@Teresa502 I am so excited about your GC hike. I have never been there and hope you take lots of pictures. Where in Texas are you going. It is hot everywhere, but some places are more humid than others.3

@Teresa502 I didn't realize your Grand Canyon trip was so soon. I'm sure you are getting excited. Can't wait to hear all about it.
@runsrunsruns Welcome. I know it's hard, but, like others said, try to not compare your current self with your 10 year ago self. If you have to compare, compare yourself with your last year self that was doing nothing. C25K is a great place to start.4 -
runsrunsruns wrote: »@WhatMeRunning and @Teresa502 Thanks for the encouragement & advice. I don't know why I'm so apprehensive? Even if I'm unable to cleanly run 30mi, I should be able to simply WALK 3x that distance over 30 days w/o fear of keeling over. I guess it's just a fear of commitment & accountability. Ha
You'll be fine. Listen to your body and enjoy the journey.6 -
First run of the month on the board and the first official day of winter - a lovely cool and clear one. It would have been perfect running conditions except I hit a strong headwind for the tempo portion of my run. Bad planning!I could have changed my route - this is suburbia after all and there’s no need to run around the harbour in a head wind but, I don’t know what you’re like, once I have a route in my head it’s almost impossible for me to change it.12

I'm getting excited too! And a little nervous. This hiking and overnight camping is new to me but I'm jumping in with both feet!
For my work trip, I will be east of Dallas in Longview, Tx. Pretty close to the Louisiana state line.5 -
May 1 - 5.28 miles
Nice, cool 49F this morning when we ran at 5:00 am. I have a track club meeting after work this evening. I don't have time to go home in between work and the meeting so I brought my bicycle with me and convinced a friend to ride on the local greenbelt trail.6 -
Nice run @ContraryMaryMary . I usually stick to the route I have planned too, but I don't have many choices where I normally run.
Nice job on the 5K @pabmac !

So I think 25 miles was a little abitious for my first month so I am bringing it down to 20. I am super new and started c2k last month but I am only adveraging 1-1.78 miles 3 days a week ... So doing the math I don't know where I thought I was going to complete 25.
Thank you for all the suggestions/advice last month about being a new runner. They were all extremely helpful and I can't wait to be a seasoned as the rest of you.. some of you are truly inspirational.
This month I am continuing on my personal building and am going to try and check in every day
.. I couldn't believe how fast the posting happens lol8 -
Your GC hike sounds awesome @Teresa502
Congrats on the 5k @pabmac
Great running @ContraryMaryMary I tend to stick to planned routes also.
Welcome @Juliexx00
Great running consistency and planning @abowersgirl. You will be cranking out regular 5k's before you know it.4 -
6/1 - 3.36 miles, easy effort (45 mins Z2)
Total: 3.36 miles
Goal: 105 miles
Official kick off for June running for me here.
Not much to say about today's run.
Hope everyone has a great month ahead!4 -
Woke up late this morning and didn’t even have time before work to walk the pups. I probably won’t run later either and though it doesn’t hurt I probably should give the ankle a little rest today.
@rheddmobile I can’t believe the caregiver had a heart attack, how awful. Keeping you all in my prayers.
@quilteryoyo @WhatMeRunning @Teresa502 @katharmonic thank you so much! My boss was telling me there was a segment on the local news about where I fell and how hard it is to get people out. He said they showed them in the kobota and he said he had a whole new appreciation for what I went through.
@Teresa502 Skip and I went to the Grand Canyon a couple years ago we loved it so much. The hike sounds amazing.
@pabmac great job on the 5K

@rheddmobile sorry for what you are going through. Hugs
@Teresa502 Grand Canyon hiking sounds so awesome! I have never been, but always wanted to go.
Congrats on the 5K @pabmac!
Welcome @Juliexx00!
I posted this on the May thread this morning 🙄(smh). Thanks for looking out for me @quilteryoyo!@rheddmobile sorry for what you are going through. Hugs
6.2 miles to start off June. It has been raining since Friday, so quite surprised it wasn't raining this morning, so was able to run outside. It was better than the treadmill, but still felt like a slog.

Love early morning running, got out for 11km/6.8 miles this morning. I’m use to using km but notice the majority here use miles. I’m torn lol. I’ll use both. 89km or 55.2 miles to go.5

Ran 5.3 miles at the lakeshore park this morning. It was a cloudy but pleasant morning.
@Juliexx00 Welcome!

Hi everyone. I’ve been absent since March and don’t exactly know why but I got my runners on & got myself out there this evening and it was great. Still aiming for 30 miles. Maybe some month I’ll make it
