    Congratulations @tarun_yadavA ! You did great this month, esp with the birthday celebrations thrown in there. I miss @Scott6255 too and wish him well. Maybe he'll come back one day.

    Very nice running @emptydog . Sorry about your car. I hope you find another one that you like just as well. I need to start looking for one myself, but just hate car shopping.

    Congrats @tarun_yadavA !!! What a great month you had!

    Also congrats @chris_in_cal for keeping your streak!

    I really wanted to bail on my run this morning and ended up putting it off until lunch time. Then I figured, @tarun_yadavA has to run 12km today and I would be happy with 6km- ie. don’t be a wimp- get it done. So I did and it was actually quite good weather compared to this morning’s rainy ick. I know I always feel fine once I start going. Usually whenever I am struggling with motivation, as soon as I start running I’m fine. It’s just getting out of the car and into the first minutes of running. I ran 7.2km.

    186.8/160km for May! Now on to June!

    I finished up the month with 83.72 miles. I thought about running this morning. The weather was beautiful and perfect for it. I'm hiking on the AT this weekend though with several big mountains on the plan for tomorrow so I decided to save my legs for that.

    Congratulations to everyone for getting out there and moving this month! On to June!

    Great running @Laurz9191 . They do say the only run you regret is the one you didn't do.

    You did great with everything you have going on @AlphaHowls ! Yeah, you don't want to startle those deer. :wink:

    Nice mileage @Teresa502 . Probably a good call about taking today as a rest day. Enjoy your hike. I look forward to seeing your pictures. It should be a great day for it.

    Congrats to everyone for doing what you could this month. You're an inspiration.

    I did a 2 mile wun driveway wun this morning. I thought that was going to give me 46 miles for the month. But, when I started going back through my journal to update my spreadsheet, I realized that I had forgotten about the Garmin SNAFU in Michigan and counted 0.15 mile too much. So, the monthly total was actually 45.85/50.00 miles. I'm okay with that considering the tennis tournament and wedding trip. I'm proud of myself for keeping the streak going. Plus, I had 22h50m46s and 12.54+ miles of other activities - tennis, gardening, lawn, and gym workouts.

    I also trimmed some of the trees along my driveway today. There was a spot that I had started brushing up against the limbs on both sides when I drove by. Those limbs seem to grow out really quickly. I hope to get the entire driveway done soon, but that spot really, really needed it.

    Awesome @tarun_yadavA! 200 miles is a big accomplishment.

    Good work on the streaks @chris_in_cal and @quilteryoyo.

    @martaindale I have a few Half Marathons I really liked. One of my favorites was the Rock-n-Roll New Orleans. It was a flat, but fun race. Of course, where I currently live, the Indy Mini is a great one as well. My favorite states were, of course, Hawaii as well as Montana. The Missoula Half and Marathon was a great race in Montana. I was hoping to see a moose, but did not. :'(;)
