@WhatMeRunning … I have four kids too. I don't even like to read about 3/4 being sick! Better that than when they tag team sickness though. Maybe you should just get a MJ mask. Good luck!0

May 6 - 5k
Better late then never. Was on vacation for the first two days of May and then moved into my new apartment when I got back. Been super busy and today was the first time I could get out and run. So for this month going for 70k and a race too.

I'm having a sick scare here. Three of four kids sent home sick today, fevers, vomiting. The 3rd run of a 39.3 series is Saturday, which if I make it I hope to run another a week later to make Saturn status in Half Fanatics. I'm practically bathing in sanitizer.
Ohhhhh nooooo! Wear a face mask and hug them through plastic wrap. LOL.
@SonicDeathMonkey80 your mad running skillz make me so envious. Then I remember the story of your first 5K where you came in 1st AND last (at least, I think it was you...) and I get slightly less jealous, because, actually you just work really hard and run a ton. But I still would've been so mad if you cruised by me while drinking a beer at my HM
@Training2BeFast ohhhhhh nooooo! I'm so sorry!
My first half was 2:29... it really hurt. Keep at it, and you'll improve, I promise!0 -
@skippygirlsmom - Yikes! Glad you are all OK. Must admit, I am woefully unprepared for dog issues.
@SonicDeathMonkey80 - the socks you wore in Pittsburgh are awesome!
5/2 - 5.25 beautiful miles through my neighborhood
5/4 - 5 miles, indoor track
5/5 - 4 miles, treadmill (soggy, foggy day here); another 5 on stationary bike
5/6 - 4 miles, indoor track; weights / abs
Those are my Swiftwick Jesters - lucky socks

01/5 - Recovery
02/5 - 15.1 miles Trail
03/5 - 8.1 miles Trail
04/5 - Recovery
05/5 - 10.6 miles Trail
06/5 - 12.1 Miles Trail (split into 2 runs)
I split todays run in two as there is only so much rain a man can handle. This morning a nicely paced 6 with the mud not being too bad on the route. This evening a grind up the big muddy hill where I was greeted at the top with some 'Really Heavy' Rain!

I'm really excited to do this challenge I have been looking for something to give me a boost in the running or jogging department of my workout. This will be my first month challenge and today is the 6th of May, yes I'm going to start today. I want to be safe with the miles I choose to be sure I succeed. On the other hand I want to give myself a challenge so I will set myself at 55... 0

Hi all!
I'm back from Pittsburgh and managed to hurt myself... I'm pretty sure my 175mi goal is out the window now (along with my BQ attempt in 2.5 weeks). I had an awesome time though, and I got to meet @SonicDeathMonkey80 ! Congrats @Ohhim on your race, it was a tough day for a race out there.
Oh no! What happened!? I will be sitting here being optimistic for you about the BQ possibilities!
It's my IT Band. It's bad... Very bad.
I might still run the marathon but it won't be a PR/BQ attempt for sure; there is no way.
No! That's awful! What date is the race? Was yours the week before mine? I'm doing Minneaplois May 31 (though not with BQ in mind, haha!).
I will still hold out hope for you, as slim as it may be! I had awful IT Band pain for two and a half weeks leading up to my marathon last fall, and then come race morning, suddenly it was pain free. Here's to healing!0 -
5/1: 5.2 miles
5/2: REST
5/3: 12 miles (scheduled: 20; left calf was not having it today)
5/4: REST
5/5: 1 mile (meant to bike to rest my calf, but the bike room was closed for asbestos removal
)
5/6: 5 miles
Calf is feeling better. Not 100%, but with another night of compression socks, foam rolling and stretching, I think I'll be even better tomorrow for my group run. And hopefully I'll be able to redeem myself with a 20 miler this Sunday. Fingers crossed! Really glad I stuck an extra week into my taper!

I believe you. I have made huge improvements already.
Still would've been grumpy if you passed me while downing a beer. 0 -
5/5: 7 mi.
So far: 19.5 out of 1000 -
@SonicDeathMonkey - Congrats on the 10k-ish win at the 5k! That is hilarious! I'd ask what the free dinner was but seeing as how it was a "Cinco K" I'm guessing it was tacos. Hey, that's why you didn't bother stopping at Taco Bell, isn't it?
@Training2BeFast = So sorry to hear you might not be able to run 100% for your qualifier. At least you can still run your events though, hopefully that's some consolation. Hoping you heal faster than expected!
Still healthy today so another easy 3 miler! That's it for me until I go "Running with the Cows" on Saturday though.
5/2 - 6.07 miles
5/4 - 3 miles
5/5 - 3.01 miles
