The pink eye is looking better. Still itchy, but not red. She's still coughing some, but all in all, is a lot better.

I have eye irritation this week. In the news today they are reporting that the latest covid variant "arcturus" has pink eye as one of the symptoms.....it could just be plain ol' regular though.

@quilteryoyo glad your mom's pink eye is doing better.
@chris_in_cal sorry for your eye problems!

I was still on the struggle bus this morning. As I started out, it was so painful I told myself I was turning around at the end of the block. But being pig-headed and stupid, I continued on. Finally got some sense and stopped after 4 miles. Then got home from work and was just going to walk on the treadmill, but then I tried some slow jogging and it didn't hurt. So did that for 5 miles. I think I may go this route for a few days. It's supposed to rain the next few days anyway.

Treadmill again. I was at a hotel Monday evening for work, so used the hotel gym. It was too gross after work to bother with running outside.

There is no pre-race packet pickup for my 5k. I have to be there at a 6:30 a.m. check-in, for a 7:30 a.m. start.

I got up a little earlier this morning planning to go into work early. But I ran 6 miles instead of my usual 5 and only got to work about 10 minutes early. It was nice weather. Warm, but not unbearable.

TheMrWobbly · May 2023

Another beautiful day. Hope the sun is shining (not too brightly) with you all

Laurz9191 · May 2023

It was raining, and I was in desperate need of an actual shower with soap and all before work, so I got my run in at the gym. 10.1 km. Legs are feeling better than yesterday

.

So far for May 82.1/200km.

I ran 6 miles again this morning. It was a lovely morning. I didn't see any critters today. Yesterday I saw a skunk. I really love running at this time of the year. It was a little warm, but not too bad. I love when my run starts out in the dark and ends when it is light. I felt pretty good, but my feet are starting to get some little aches. I've got 470 miles on my shoes so I guess it is time to replace them.

That is a beautiful photo @AlphaHowls

I know I have asked this before, but we have new members in the group, and I am revising my Spotify playlist. So for those of you who listen to music when you run, what are some of your favorite songs to run to? A few of mine are: Queen - Don't Stop Me Now, Tom Petty - Don't Do Me Like That, Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc., OK Go - Here It Goes Again, My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na. I have a pretty eclectic playlist.

Laurz9191 · May 2023

@kgirlhart Nice question. I have been updating mine lately too

. At the moment I enjoy running to these 4 songs most:
1. Silence - Marshmallow, Khalid
2. Suavemente - Elvis Crespo (salsa, but somehow it always fits)
3. Such Great Heights - remastered- The Postal Service
4. Song For No One - Shawn Mendes

A weird mix, but i enjoy it

. I would love to hear more suggestions.

This morning was track workout day. We met at our usual spot and ran a gentle warm up to the middle school track. There were five of us but we all did our own thing. I did 8 x 400s with 100 of rest in between each 400. I forgot to start my watch so using mileage from a friend.

Some of my favorites on my playlist include:
Werk out by Odrick Hall
Cake by the Ocean by Dnce
My Oh My by Camila Cabello and DaBaby
Drunk by Elle King and Miranda Lambert
Ex’s & Ohs by Elle King
Good God Almighty and Milk & Honey by Crowder

Rainy run this morning! Perfect steady but light rain and not a soul out but me.

katharmonic · May 2023

@AlphaHowls holy crap! I was thinking how are you only "proficient" and then I opened that link. There are people who have run every day for 50+ years!?!? I'm sure that very few on that list run the amount of miles you do every day though. You are way beyond proficient. That list blows my mind.

I don't have my new car yet, but tomorrow *might* be the day. Fingers crossed! I am begging for what I hope is one more ride to work and then I think anyone at work will happily drive me to the dealership so they can stop hearing about it

No running yet this work week. We'll see how tomorrow goes. The weather has been very nice so I really should get out and enjoy. It's going to be a busy next several days because of graduation weekend obligations.

If I am honest @kgirlhart I just run listening to the voices in my head - that space is crowded enough!

Love that view @AlphaHowls

Glad you are feeling better @Scott6255

Forgot to start my watch on yesterday's C25K, never mind. Moving on to week 4 on Friday.

I ran an uneventful 5.5 miles this morning. It was cloudy and humid and not a lovely morning. Technically it was light at the end, but it was still grey and just kind of blah and I was tired.

@teresa502 Those are lovely photos. I usually love running this time of year because I get to see the sky just as it is turning light.

Thanks for answering @Laurz9191 and @Teresa502 I'll have to check those songs out.

martaindale · May 2023

@teresa502 I love seeing the sunrise while I'm running in the morning. Beautiful shots.

@Zaxa2021 Keep up that consistency!

Hot and humid but overall pleasant run this morning. In my effort to avoid the elementary school drop-off traffic, I cut through a part of the neighborhood I don't usually run in and severely overestimated how much road there was through that area. I ended up winding up and down little dead end streets and culs-de-sac trying to get a few tenths here and there. It worked but probably not a route I will purposefully repeat. I need to spend some time figuring out a better way around the school traffic. Some days it doesn't really bother me but after a few days I just want a run where I don't have to be so vigilant about the cars.
