Forgot to update here, but 5k on Friday night went ok. My time was about 3:30 slower than my last 5k, but it was very hilly and I ended up doing more walking than running because of it. I was very underprepared to even participate to begin with lol. But I finished and that’s what I’m most proud of!
12.29/30

Sunday - a 5mile run and feeling pretty decent after a day off yesterday. That makes ovr 700 for the year now running which is behind about 30 from last year but should still make run the year with all my deliberate walking and running miles.
I am glad that I persisted on using the Mizuno shoes and found the 3rd try (1 complete size up) was the charm. They are quite different than others I have and feel really good as far as helping me push off correctly. And to the point when I put on a different pair after wearing them I felt like i had "deflated" my ride. So all good. And no more blisters. Also a side by side compare of fitbit analysis vs Apple watch. GPS on the fitbit is definitely off.4 -

Love your haul for Father's Day @tarun_yadavA . Good run and sounds like a nice, relaxing rest of the day.
Congratulations on finishing a hilly 5K @andja87 .
@SummerSkier Great mileage for the year so far! Love the shoe porn. I really like the color palate. Glad you found what works and are loving them.

Did a run/walk for my Father’s Day 5K. Time was ok - Garmin said 15:36 pace. I like Strava’s pace better!! Am worn out from the heat and humidity. Sprained knee did fine, so I’m happy about that.

England ⚽ game in the evening!
All set.
I know nothing of this soccer-foot thingy but I just started watching season one of "Welcome to Wrexham."
As the townie guy going through chemo can only come up with seeing the team promoted as a reason to beat cancer, I gather the team is an impotant cultural touchstone. I'll continue my research and report back.Looking for some Eurotrash Heavy metal place.
Museums - David Hasselhoff museum!!!!!! Totally going to that.5 -
@daria0919 So glad your knee held up for the 5K. You did great.1
-
@quilteryoyo & @VO2Maxlet thank you both for the encouragement.
Today, I ran/walked 3.25 treadmill miles. Total: 24.15/40 miles. Determined to stay on track with my training plan.6 -
Great treadmill wun @steviebee888 .1

@TheMrWobbly ain't no better time to start than today!
@quilteryoyo I keep the lights on for a certain corner of hedge funds. Before this I was on a family office's R&D team for algorithmic trading.
@tarun_yadavA that chocolate haul looks awesome! Never tried those before. How were they?
@daria0919 nice job on the 5K!
@AlphaHowls noted. I'm definitely getting the Asics Superblast 2 to replace the OnCloud Swifties I have perhaps sooner than I expected. They have 140-ish miles on them and they already feel worse than my oldest shoes. I'm amazed how low the mileage is on them, but I was warned. I'll probably try out some Mizunos to cycle out the Asics Superblast 2.
I have too many shoes.
1. OnCloud Swiftrunners (current running shoes)
2. Hoka Speedgoats (trail runners)
3. Asic Kayano 27s Tokyo Sunrise (my favorite running shoe)
4. Ecco BioM Trainer Sneaker (used to be my favorite running shoe)
@steviebee888 let's get it!5 -
Easy run today. It was supposed to be 30 minutes. But I ended up running 25 minutes. My body died from the humidity/heat. The sun hits me; I cook. Ended up getting a blister on my left pinkie toe.
I need to practice running more in this weather. I used to be a night runner so the heat wouldn't attack me as bad.
95°F (35°C) 65% humidity. Kill me.
After my run, I walked to the farmer's market. Window shopping was fun. I had a great chat with a chap working for our state representatives. Walking out of the market, an old missionary approached me asking "hey 'bub. Do you know who runs the world?" while flashing a pamphlet asking the same question with a picture of the cross in the background. I put my right hand to my heart, and told the old man "me". We both chuckled and parted ways.4 -

@VO2Maxlet chocs were good, thank you!
@chris_in_cal haha. Thanks. The Hoff is big in Germany. I shall pay my respects! Lol.
PS: well done on going the extra mile. Literally5 -
@VO2Maxlet You did great in the heat and humidity. It makes such a difference.
Keep up the good work @chris_in_cal . You are doing great.
Nice run and mileage so far @tarun_yadavA .0 -
Great job on your races @daria0919 and @andja87!
@tarun_yadavA It figures THAT would be the museum you would choose to see! Good choice on the chocolates from your family. That's my favorite brand. Good stuff.
I went on an easy 6km this morning, with a few sprints to get ready for tomorrow. My right knee has been hurting a bit. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious. I guess we'll see after my 5K race tomorrow evening. At the moment there are thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow afternoon/evening. Fingers crossed that everything works out in the favor of no thunderstorms during the race!
117.5/200km for June.6 -

@tarun_yadavA - love the label on the chocolate: “Chocolate Love A-Fair” 😂
@SummerSkier - nice Mizunos, great colors!
I absolutely don’t trust the Fitbit. I used to wear mine daily - it far over exaggerates steps and distance. I used to wear my Garmin for walks/runs only, but now I wear it daily and retired the Fitbit for that reason. Don’t wear the Garmin to sleep anymore though- too annoying.
Awesome miles thus far this month @AlphaHowls and @SummerSkier!
Great running streak and mileage increase @chris_in_cal!
@VO2Maxlet - there are a few “math/stats number nerds” in this group - guess we should add you to the mix 😉
Thanks @shanaber and @quilteryoyo for the Medicare input. I think I now have a good reference for an insurance broker to help me through the enrollment process.
Good luck with your 5K @Laurz9191! Here’s hoping the thunderstorms hold off.
Good to “see you” here @TheMrWobbly!5 -
