Good morning trail people!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend.  I'm planning on 7-10 miles after work, probably in the drizzle...beats the heat!

QOTD: What are your June plans/goals/races?

I want to hit a mileage PR for June.  That would require ~170 miles.  I have a local 5k that I plan on doing in 2 weeks...I haven't really done the speed work necessary to improve on last years run, but I'll give it hell.

Morning all,

I'll probably get in 4 miles later on my way to a frisbee game. If the game gets rained out, I'll probably run 6.

QOTD:  I have a trail 1/2 marathon on June 22. I really had to fight myself to not sign up for the full marathon ( I know I could do it ) but I really could  use a break after the past couple of months.  Trying to take it easy for most of June and then start 50 miler training in July.

Happy Monday all!

SRD for me today. Got in 8.4 miles on the trails yesterday. Took it nice and easy. Felt good to just cruise along at an easy pace enjoying the scenery. I usually run my easy runs too fast, so I'm trying really hard to dial it back a bit in hopes of avoiding some of my nagging aches and pains.

QOTD: Next 50k is in July so plan to spend June building up the mileage and getting in as much climbing as possible. Going to be difficult to get in the climbing I want though since our forest and trails are getting shut down next Monday due to the extreme fire danger.  Looks like I will be doing hill repeats and weekend drives to farther away trails.

Good Morning:

Got 9 miles in this morning. Half road half trail and a beautiful 54 degrees and no deer flies.

BTW I tried the blue cup with tanglefoot sticky stuff on it (hot glue gunned it to an old hat) and caught about 20 deer flies Saturday morning. I saw an article from 2010. I can only out run them for about 10 miles...if I hit a long hill then I get crushed and all welted up. I plan on trying it out some more this week. It is pretty funny. Kids want to try it.

QOTD:  I will be increasing base mileage and getting ready for the Baker 50 in August. I will be working midnight shift and weekends for the next 3 months, limiting my ability to race. Of course, I could always come up with a sudden case of runitis and have to call off.

Planning 10 hilly miles this pm. Weather is super nice, so I really look forward to it.

QOTD: Goal is to keep building base: so 110 miles without injury, including at least one ~15-miler every week. My only race this year is a 50k in August, and I'll only do that if I feel super solid. Challenge for June is that I'm going to Sweden alone with two small kids for four weeks. I'll have childcare coverage, but it could still very well interfere with training.

Resting today.

QOTD -  Building miles and a pancake flat road marathon at the end of June that I am treating more as a supported long run than a race.

Checking in late, had to work this morning. Perhaps a run in the evening, some relaxing trail miles, but not sure.

QOTD: Amping the miles up to above 200 again for the month, hopefully above 220. Only "race" is the last Tussey Teaser (Eager Seeger HM), just a FA race.

Ran 5 this am.  Already warm.  Parents were here last week which slowed the running to a crawl.  I could have got up while they slept but we would drink too much wine the night before so was in the mood to jump up and run.

QOTD:  My Dad took a video of me from behind diving into the lake.  I need to lose some weight  and get in overall shape.  No races planned for June but maybe two 23 ish mile runs in Lake Tahoe to work on completeing our run ont the Tahoe Rim Trail.  Thinking of joining a gym.

Going to sign up for this with some past RW folks.
