so hopefully not a million miles off from being back to normal
Tarun... I am not even going to respond to that..... 😂😇😆😂2 -
Getting your consistency back @tarun_yadavA. Your recovery is going great 😃
Got 7 miles outside this morning. Yesterday I thought today was going to be Friday 😒 so was thinking this was the last day of June. Oh well, I am half way through the RTY challenge, and almost 100 miles ahead of my target 😃

10:45 last night. This is hard. Usually I do my best work after midnight.chris_in_cal wrote: »I am on a "sleep" challenge with some friends. I'm trying to go to bed at 10:00 p.m., ten nights in a row. I didn't make it the first two nights (10:30 & 10:15) but I'm getting there.

@chris_in_cal More sleep is always a good call. It's a great habit to build. I can't remember the last time I saw midnight!
@Scott6255 You're doing great on your RTY goal. I also though yesterday was Thursday all day. Such a disappointment that I have to go back to work tomorrow.3 -

I had a rough run this morning. Just horrible conditions wearing me down. Ofc it's mega hot, but it's so easy to overheat because the high humidity means that your sweat doesn't evaporate. I found a few sprinklers, which were a lifesaver. That's it for June for me. Tomorrow is a rest day which is desperately needed.

@chris_in_cal I feel like I would excel in a sleep challenge I've always needed a lot of sleep and I often get into bed pretty early. But I often take my laptop and phone with me so I know that's not good.
Nice job making your June goal @martaindale. Sorry it was a rough one to end on. Enjoy your rest day.3 -

@Scott6255 thank you Sir! 😊0 -
@tarun_yadavA I hope it won't be a million miles off...
You're doing great @Scott6255 ! Excellent mileage for the year so far.
@martaindale You are doing great for those conditions. It's no wonder your run was hard. I'm glad you found some sprinklers to help. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow. Thanks for setting up July.

My neighbor and I helped mom mow her yard this afternoon. I did the riding part and also push mowed the hilly parts for mom and finished the push mowing when I got done with the riding mower. Total was 15:34 min.
I will be leaving in about 45 min for a couple of hours of doubles tennis with the ladies.6 -

118.17/105 miles completed for June
I am behind on the thread, but I wanted to post my run and then I will read through and catch up. We had a great time celebrating my Mom's 79th birthday. I was pretty tired yesterday but I got some rest last night and got up this morning and ran 5.5 miles. It was hot, as it has been lately, but not a bad run. I even saw a couple of other runners out. Tomorrow will be a rest day so today's run brings my total to 118 miles. See you all over in the July thread.

and June is almost a wrap. I can say that even a stupid cold takes forever to recover from it seems anymore. Maybe I am just sensitive to my fitness but really it's taken almost all month from the sore throat on the 1st to seeing my resting HR back to a normal level.
I have great hopes for July and our weather looks to be more "normal" with 90's in the daytime and mid 70's in the morning for my runs. Also hopefully 100% injury recovery and no more viruses!
In the past I have tried to just bully thru illness and injury to some extent but this time I chose to be a baby. Not sure that it totally made any difference tho. 😂😂😂
My original goal was 90 miles and then I dropped it to 60 halfway thru. I will be happy with ending at 75 if I get a short run in this morning.
The columns are miles, month cum year cum and intentional walking

Morning all
Today's 6K! Finding it easier... But conscious not to overdo it or get carried away!
And 61.5 for the month...
@SummerSkier well done on 75 bON +powering through whilst sick!
@quilteryoyo kudos on double - run and tennis!7 -
I'm not sure what day it is, but I think it's still June... I did make it to Pennsylvania and am trying to get back to baseline after all the travel stress. I've never seen bad air quality like this here before, and hope Canada can get their fires under control very soon. I ordered an air purifier for my room. Hope that helps.
It is pretty peaceful here. Chickens in the yard, various birds singing in the trees... I'm too exhausted to do much but family has been coming around and I had to request that no one be invited today. I've gotta run a few errands today but otherwise plan to lay around.
I'll try to check in from time to time in the July thread.10 -
I’m in! Doing C25K. Starting from couch😂8

Great running @kgirlhart . I'm glad your mom enjoyed her birthday.
You did great @SummerSkier . It does seem to take longer to get over an illness as we get older.
I'm glad you are getting back into the grove @tarun_yadavA ! Thanks for the kudos.
Glad you made it to PA @polskagirl01 . It sounds very peaceful there. I know all of your family wants to see you, but it is hard to entertain when you are so tired. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Welcome @qwerty9134 . That first step off of the couch is often the hardest. You've got this. Join us in the July thread that @martaindale set up above. Don't forget to bookmark it so you can find us easily.2 -
@chris_in_cal - A sleep challenge sounds great, if for no other reason but to make you aware of your bedtime routines and to learn about your sleep patterns. Hope it helps.
@katharmonic - Running along the Rhine River is wonderful. Also there is a greenbelt (Grüngürtel). I think you can combine them to make a circle. My parents used to live in Bonn and they ran along the Rhine River every day. It's beautiful.5 -
I've done many short walks/wuns and few runs this month, but given how difficult life has been, I feel good that I got over 30 miles in. I hope July is calmer.7 -
Welcome @qwerty9134! Lots of people here started with c25k. It's a great way to get moving! See you in the July thread.0

@chris_in_cal - A sleep challenge sounds great, if for no other reason but to make you aware of your bedtime routines and to learn about your sleep patterns.
It is informative, and challenging. Last night "Day 4" I actually started preparing for bed and the number on the clock started with a "9."
I was as close to a 10:00 p.m. bedtime as I've been probably since I was nine years old.
I signed up for a fun Fourth of July 5K over in Coronado, CA and it starts bright and early. So it is kind of good I'm getting to bed earlier, on race day getting up at the crack of dark won't be quite so horrible.
@spl8 I'm hoping July finds you back into a good calm fun routine.5 -
You are a winner!!!katharmonic wrote: »@chris_in_cal I feel like I would excel in a sleep challengekatharmonic wrote: »But I often take my laptop and phone with me so I know that's not good.
I've pick and pecked at improving my sleep over the last couple of years. All my chargers and lights and doodads are in another room. I've tried to cut out all the light in my bedroom.
I don't have insomnia, but some friends I know do. I usually do okay sleeping, but not great. For me the biggest baddest and most dreaded barrier to improving my sleep is going to bed earlier.
I love nothing more then pouring a smokey scotch and after all the clamor has settled down relax in the quiet night hours. [or back in the day go out dancing] It is my introvert precious 'me' time. --Sorry for the sleep content in our running thread.--- 3 -
That's 2 runs this week to get me to target. See you in July. Overall it seems like a pretty good month for most!

Wonderful! Thank you @spl8! I am looking forward to it.
@qwerty9134 welcome. I'm recovering from a couple of surgeries and several more months of stress and lack of motivation and am basically back on that couch too. C25k is a great way to get going, and I might try it again (I did several years ago when I first started running for the very first time). Great job showing up here, and please jump in the July thread!
I walked today and yesterday. The air quality is bad from the Canadian wildfires so I cut it a bit shorter that I wanted. Hopefully it clears over the weekend.
See you all in July8 -
Thought I was done with June, but saw that I was only 6 miles from an even 1100 for the 1st half of the year, so knocked out an easy 6 11

Even with no run yesterday (many, many hours on planes) and none today (exhausted), to my surprise, I made my monthly goal! It was low but I knew I would be hiking and traveling. I also had over 135 miles of hiking and purposeful walking for the month.
Happy belated birthday to your mom @kgirlhart!
Glad you finally kicked that nasty cold @SummerSkier.
I imagine you are exhausted from your trip @polskagirl01. I know that I am and I’m not recovering from anything. I was shocked at the air quality in Philadelphia when we landed yesterday. It’s fairly hazy here in Virginia also.
@katharmonic – Rhine…Seine….goodness I need to work on my geography!
Welcome to all those who joined in this month for the first time and congratulations to everyone for getting out there! See everyone next month!

Sounds like you did great given life obstacles @spl8 . I hope July is better for you.
@chris_in_cal No need to apologize for talking about sleep. It is important to overall health and really does affect our energy and what we can do. Garmin often tells me I need to do an easy run after not sleeping very well the night before. So...... definitely run related. Enjoy your upcoming race. Congrats on making your June goal!
You are doing great @AlphaHowls . That weather though..... Be careful out there!
You are doing great @katharmonic ! We all need to be careful in the heat and smoke.
Amazing mileage @Scott6255 !
Welcome home @Teresa502 ! You did great to meet your goal with all the other things you did this month!
I worked all day yesterday and then went to the funeral home for the mother of the day care director. She had been very sick for a while..heart issues and COPD. But, that doesn't really make it any easier and she was only 67. Seems so young.
When I got home, I did a true wun on the treadmill - just ran slowly during some of the commercials. I was really tired and had had a rough day at daycare. Anyway, I did 2.50 miles to put me at my goal of 80 miles running/walking for the month. On to July! Can't believe the year is half gone already!
