Hello everyone!
Still "ellipticalling".
Planning a run or two before month is out...
Anyways, Happy Father's Day! (Only 3 guys here anyway! Lol).
Me+boys going to the cricket; weather is nice; will enjoy 2-3 beers in the sun (and may treat myself to Chicken Tenders from the concession stands to soak it up!). Got a single divorced dad coming round mine in the evening (hasn't seen his kid much - bitter divorce/kid small), so will end up drinking with him!
Have a nice Sunday all. 😊9 -
Happy Father’s Day to the dads!4

Another treadmill run this morning before breakfast and last minute packing. We are making the camp drop-off after lunch so we have the scramble for all the little things that couldn’t be packed ahead of time.
It was another miserably hot morning. I may try to run outside tomorrow morning. I have a short run scheduled and I will be out before sunrise so should be ok. Hot but not miserable.4 -
@martaindale you are SO right about the heat and humidity and the watch being just strange... LOL. thank you. that is encouraging. I am really struggling to get my butt back in gear altho I have over 700 for the year. the col on the far right is my intentional walking which I am trying to get in esp on days when I don't run. My lower back/hip is still not 100% but I have found that a single excedrin migraine completely makes the pain go away for about 12 hrs so improvement.
Happy Dad's day to the Dad's here!!!! 🌟🌟🌟

Today's run makes me question my sanity. Two days pushing through yard work, even though I do it on all days off, some days are just harder when 'cleaning' up. I woke up with back muscles screaming at me and right rib/muscle sore. Probably intercostal muscle *sighs*
I have cleared 308 miles for June, still on track to reach 500.
Found two cats sleeping in the dead end. My mom would kill me if I brought them home, so I left them there.
Found this old guy hanging out, abandonment can suck!

It was "Time Trial" day in my Garmin Coach training plan. Two mile warmup, a one mile time trial, then cool down. My race goal is to run an October 10K in 1:15:00. That's about a 12:05/mile pace.
So I was hoping my time trial mile would be at least 12:05. I surprised myself a bit with an 11:21. There is still four months until the 10K, so fingers crossed things are on track.
June Running Goal: 17 runs, 45 miles- June 2 - 3.0 miles
- June 4 - 4.0 miles
- June 6 - 2.5 miles
- June 7 - 4.0 miles
- June 9 - 2.5 miles
- June 11-3.5 miles
- June 13-3.0 miles
- June 14-4.0 miles
- June 16-3.0 miles
- June 18-4.43 miles

haha @AlphaHowls you shoulda brought dem 2 home with you!2

@polskagirl01 That sounds like a lot of work. I hope the squash appreciate it and reward you with lots of good eating later in the year.
@Scott6255 I'm sure yesterday's run was easier because you were running with your brother. It's always seems easier with a friend.
@martaindale I wouldn't want to run in that heat either. We are actually cooler than normal here - first time in many years that we haven't hit 90F yet. Probably won't next week either as it's supposed to rain most of the week. You're doing great and I hope your kid enjoys camp this year.
Welcome to the group @Destinyallday !
@tarun_yadavA I'm sure that you and your kids enjoyed your day and sorry about your friend's situation. It sounds tough.
Happy Fathers Day to all the father's here.
Glad your back/hip is doing a lot better @SummerSkier !
@AlphaHowls You're running is awesome. Sorry that you were so sore today. Love the abandoned tractor. I started to be sorry for the "cats," then realized your pun.
You almost had me there. My brain is slow today.
@chris_in_cal Congratulations on your time trial pace. That is awesome!
I know I haven't posted my workouts this week. I just haven't had time. I'm not supposed to work tomorrow. If that holds, I'll try to catch you up on my very busy week tomorrow.

I am very proud to say that I went on a run this morning! 8.31km plus pre-run physical therapy and a warm up. It was so humid though. I am going to try to bring some water with me on my next run and see if that makes the run easier. I really struggled through the second half of the run even though it was -comparatively to my past months of training - just an average distance/slower paced run.
53.3/150 km for June

Well, it was miserable. Heat index of 90F before the sun was up. So, I did a treadmill run in canary islands from the comfort of my air conditioned home.
We have landscapers coming the next few days. I know they work outside all the time, but I don't know how they manage these heat waves.6 -
7 miles this morning. Another hot, humid morning run, but at least the dew point was only 68F (lower than the normal 72-75). So it actually felt tolerable.
Oh, and for the first time in 6 months my VO2Max went up. It has stayed at 57 since the beginning of the year, but today it went up to 58.

Well @Scott6255 @martaindale @Laurz9191 I'm inspired. The way you manage those triple digit monthly running goals is to persevere through the triple digit weather.
Only two more days till summer starts.💥💥🥵💥💥6 -

I am way behind on reading this thread. We had our family reunion this weekend out at the lake that is right outside of town. We had a great time. Last year at the family reunion my mom fell and broke her hip, so we were all a little on edge, but she didn't have any issues this year. We did have a little squabble on Friday between the sister (there are 5 of us), but we got it all sorted out. And there was a small skirmish between my son's dog and my nephew's dog, but we sorted that out too. All in all it was a great time. My daughter didn't make it. She had been planning to come, but she had her appendix out last week and just wasn't quite up to it. I took Friday and today as vacation days, so I decided to do my long run today instead of Sunday.
It was so hot. I should have gotten up earlier, but I was pretty tired and needed the rest. I ran 8.25 miles. I guess that can qualify as a long run. I got out at 8:05 and it was 79°F feels like 79°. By the end of the run it was 86°F feels like 94°. It was just too hot for me to go any further. It is 4:45 right now and it is 104°feels like 115°, so I guess it could have been worse. It was an OK run. I did pick up a dog about half a mile from home. He followed me a bit but then he got distracted by some other dogs and I guess he eventually went home.

I hate the summer soooo much. This week has been really rude. It went from ok to ridiculous in 1 week. I'm ready for it to back off just a little to more normal levels of hot.

Morning everyone,
I have allot of comments to catch up on, will go back and read a little later. My watch broke and I now realise how much I rely on it for motivation. A new face did arrive yesterday an so I am back on the challenge. Just over 11km left - I feel like I should increase my goal from 60km to 75km - so i can be a little out of my comfort zone.

June 3rd - 3.5km (treadmill)
June 4th - 7.05km (outside
June 5th - 4.75km (outside)
June 7th - 2.69km (outside)
June 8th - 3.0km (treadmill)
June 10th - 9.67km (outside)
June 12th - 2.26km (outside) + 3km (treadmill)

June 19th - 3.1km (outside)
Total: 48.62/75

It HAS been a rude week weather wise and people keep asking me if it was really 112 in Austin yesterday and the day before. I think I have been up to 102 and I guess if you put it in the sun in the street it would be that much or more heat index. LOL. WInd chill. I can handle 100 or so but not with 85 percent humidity. Yesterday was pretty hot but right at the height of it we got some clouds roll thru and it dropped into the mid 90's7
