Fantastic! There are a lot of streakers there but I doubt any of them are streaking with the kind of mileage you put in with each run!
Is there any group that registers mileage streaks?0 -
That sounds like a fantastic way to get your run done @Laurz9191 !
Congratulations @AlphaHowls ! I agree with @Scott6255 , you are much more than Proficient in my book.1 -
6 TM miles after work. At least I'm on the board for May.

April Goal: 110 Miles
5/1: 53.26 miles
5.26/115 miles completed for May
I started May with 5.25 miles. It was a lovely morning. I got out a little later than I need to, but it was really nice that it was getting light while I ran. The weather was perfect for running. I did my yoga in the backyard after I ran. It was just a 10 minute stretch, and as I was closing the practice a beautiful cardinal perched on a tomato cage and looked at me. Then he flew off to one of the birs feeders and I saw a couple of hummingbirds.
Wow @AlphaHowls You are amazing!

May goal: 50 miles
5/1: miles
May Miles Completed: 2/50
I'm so glad I found this challenge!! It's just the motivation I need. I really wanted to skip tonight after a long day, but did it anyway because of this group and the commitment I made. I'm glad I did it, I felt great after I completed it. Thank you for this group!!!12 -

Fantastic @AlphaHowls and you are quite the inspiration!
Small target for me working through C25K this month so:
Wun 33 miles
Walking 70 miles
I have gone for walking as we can't use the term wog in the UK. https://news.sky.com/story/essex-pub-that-displayed-golliwog-dolls-graffitied-and-vandalised-128590036 -
Got up a little late this morning, but it was nice to see it getting light about halfway through my run. Did 7 miles, but only felt good after mile 5. But that is better than nothing

@Zaxa2021 There's a saying that "The only run you regret is the one you didn't do." Keep up the good work.
You did great to hang in there where you weren't feeling it this morning @Scott6255 .
Interesting @TheMrWobbly . I guess I live a sheltered life. I had not idea the term could be considered racist.6 -
May 1 – 5.05 miles
May 2 – 1.01 miles
6.06/75 miles
This morning, I went to a Sunrise Circuit class offered by our fitness organization at work. It started at 6:30 am when it was 46F. The class is outside so I arrived a few minutes early and got a mile run in so that I could warm up.
@AlphaHowls – You continue to amaze and inspire!
@quilteryoyo – Are you playing tennis Saturday morning? There is a 5K (May the Course Be with You) at Greeneville Middle School at 8:00 am to benefit their cross country team. Our track club was hired from timing and finish line management and I’ve volunteered to help with it.
@Zaxa2021 – This group keeps me challenged and motivated to get out there on days when I really need it. I can just come here and read about all the activities and it helps immensely. Glad you found us.

@Teresa502 I am not playing tennis, but we are having an after league party at one of the players homes at noon. I had forgotten about that 5K - it was on my radar. I need to check out the timing and see if I can do both. Thanks for reminding me. I am glad to see that your short run reported on your newsfeed was because you were warming up and not because you had gotten injured or something,

@AlphaHowls Congratulations on 5 years! That is so awesome, especially considering the mileage you are currently doing. Just amazing! You are really inspiring!
@Zaxa2021 Welcome!
@Scott6255 I’m glad to hear you could end your run on a positive note, even though you weren’t feeling it for most of the way! I hope it’s easier for you tomorrow!
Today I went for an easy 8.1km run. The hamstring on my right leg has been bothering me a bit since completing some intervals shortly after my bike race. I think I over did it a bit there. I am hoping by just running easy for the rest of the week, rolling out the area with a foam roller and getting enough sleep that it will be fine for my races on Saturday. I really was going for fast times there, but I will have to see if my body is up for it. Fingers crossed! The main thing is avoiding an injury, so if I run slower on Sunday, I run slower.
April kms 19.2/200.7 -
Nice running @Laurz9191 . I hope the easy runs will allow your hamstring to heal and you can run as you had planned on Sat. But, I love your attitude if you can't. Very sensible.
Today's planned called for 5 x quarter mile intervals. I wasn't sure how it would go, as I'm not feeling the best. I managed to run the fast intervals at 6.0 mph and walked the recovery ones at 3.8 mph. The last quarter mile recovery I did as part of my half mile cool down walk. So, the avg pace for the intervals was 12:32 min/mile. Avg HR was 128, with a max of 152 bpm.

May Goal: 115 Miles
5/1: 5.26 miles
5/2: 6.22 miles
11.48/115 miles completed for May
I was tired last night and I noticed today that I had some pretty bad typos in my post yesterday. I did not run 53.26 miles yesterday. 🤪
I did run 6.2 miles today. It was another lovely morning. I got out a little earlier so it was dark for more of my run than yesterday. But it was still light about halfway through. I felt like I could run forever.

And I thought you had popped in a Ultra because you were bored on a Tuesday afternoon @kgirlhart
Still wouldn't mind being a mile behind you! Loving the inspiration I am getting from all of you
On the plus side the chaffing seems to have eased up a bit.6 -
Completed 8.1Km at recovery pace this morning. I haven't run at that pace in forever and I am glad that I did. It was very relaxing. I think it was also good for my injured hamstring, to have lower impact running. After my run I spent 10 minutes stretching (which I never do but will make a priority at least until my leg gets better). The trees are all in bloom and everything is green and gorgeous outside. It was a great morning to be outside!
So far for May 27.4/200km
