Remembered to take water and drink at every walk break. It went much better since I slept in and it was already at 70% humidity when I started. Now rest day tomorrow, strength training on Thursday with trainer, rest Friday and race Saturday. I think I am as ready as I can be. Date Run Totals 6/1 - 2 mi - 2 mi 6/3 - 3 mi -…

@AdrianChr92 and @WhatMeRunning and @katharmonic - Congrats on your races! I love reading the race reports. @Orphia - Congrats on the distance PR. Loved the pictures. I wish I had a place like that to run. @7lenny7 - Sounds like a fun run. Woo-hoo, no pain! Congrats to your son.

Realized I am way behind logging my runs. :frowning: Took care of that so now I can say I accomplished something at work today. Yesterdays run was good since it was a little cooler but still humid. I tried something different and set my watch for intervals of 5 minutes and 1 minute and it worked much better. I think I will…

@skippygirlsmom, 9voice9 and @7lenny7 - Thank you for answering my question. I think that is the direction I am leaning is to fit them in when I can which on days I work it is getting up an hour early, when it is cooler and doing it then and on my off days doing it when I can fit it in which is closer to 8 or 9 AM.…

Happy National Running Day! Got up at 4:45am to get my run in before work and it was fantastic! Only 62 degrees F (17 degrees C) out and no humidity and was able to take Neeko with me again so we were both happy. Rediscovered that I actually CAN run without needing a million walk breaks and got thru the 22 minute run with…

@5BeautifulDays - Don't do anything crazy that will set you back further with an infection or something else bad. @louubelle16 - waiting for the running report LOL. Just go slow, you got this. What I learned this month is to trust the program if you don't want to be re-injured and that heat and humidity REALLY suck the…

I hit my modest goal of 30 miles last month and I have a 5k this month so I am going to target 40 injury free miles. I am hoping to be better adjusted to the heat soon to make this a little easier.

I didn't add in all the partial miles so I am counting it as a win. First run in the park without Neeko. It was weird but…

@stoshew71 -Congratulations to you and your wife. Sounds like you had a great run and great job on her part to get around and not give up. @skippygirlsmom - I'm sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better now, hopefully it is only the heat or something minor. Congratulations to Skippy that is awesome! Thanks for…

@shanaber - Thank you. I will give it a try since I am not sure what my stomach will tolerate I will make sure I am either close to home or a bathroom just in case.
-
@Shanaber Thank you for the reminder. I am horrible about drinking enough before or during a run and I sweat like crazy and it is usually really salty.I don't like Gatorade or Allsport so should I get something like Nuun or is plain water okay? I am only doing 5k and trying to build up to 10k, so with warm up and cool down…

Actually I think it is to much for me, but…

@mathsrunner - way to go!

@juliet3455 - I think I would quit running outside if I saw bear tracks. @AdrianChr92 - very cool pictures and great history. Thank you for sharing. @_nikkiwolf_ - Great job! I love the pictures. That is so cool to start in one country and continue in another.

I had a small breathing issue in the first interval…

@lord007 Congrats on the distance PR! @_nikkiwolf_ Great race recap. Congrats on the PR for the 10k. Question for the more seasoned runners, I am read Jeff Galloway's Running A Year Round Plan, and he talks about walk breaks during your runs and that there is no reason to stop using them. How many people use walk breaks in…

I regularly run with my 3 year old Doberman. He is a great companion and because of his color everyone thinks he is a Wiemeriner (he is a fawn and rust). He is very high energy and usually takes at least a mile to settle down and stop pulling. I have taken him on runs up to 5 miles, my limit at the time not his, and use a…

So jealous of everyone who got new…

@Virkati - Congrats on the first half!!! Doesn't matter how slow, what matters is you did it. @whatang - Glad you are running again. You will be back where you were in no time.

Tried to catch up on all the posts but gave up. I did see quite a few injuries, and I am very sorry for those who can't run right now. Just coming off an injury I know what it is like to be forced to take time off. To all of those who posted race results, congratulations! Please keep them coming, I love reading about what…

5/1 - 2 mi 5/4 - 2 mi 5/7 - 2 mi 5/8 - 2 mi 8 down 22 to go. Forgot to log yesterday's run. I have signed up for a 5k at work on 5/20. I am planning to run it in intervals since I haven't done 3 miles in a while. Not really worried about time since it is at high noon and last year it was so hot I almost over heated passed…

5/1 - 2 mi 5/4 - 2 mi 4 down 26 to go. Rough run. Tried the 20 minutes nonstop again and struggled with a fast heart rate and breathing. Need 2 walk breaks again. I will do intervals Friday and try again Saturday or Sunday. Planned races: 6/11 Run and Ride 5k at Cedar Point Oct, Nov, and Dec 5 mile trail series Dec Santa…
