    Consistently Slow

      Legs tired.  Not enough sleep.  Hot and humid.  Family visiting.  Ran anyway.

       

      I'm also on track to have my highest mileage month yet (over 120--previous record is 100).  I have a feeling these 2 accomplishments are somehow related.

      WTG!  Keep it going.

      Run until the trail runs out.

                8 miles before 8 am this morning. It was hard getting up to go, but I'm glad I did. It's been a busy day (4.5 hours at the ball diamonds.)

                    Too tired to run. Walked 9 miles 5:30 AM. Nearly 2 hours to kill at the airport. Walked 4 miles 10:30AM. Good thing my Garmin is the everyday watch

                      Ran a 5K in 24:37, under 8 mm for 5K for the first time, and hitting one of my two major goals. I'm 63, female, and after 6 years of running thinking that I'll soon be at the point where the inevitable slowing down with aging exceeds the potential improvement. I wasn't sure that this was even do-able for me, so I'm really thrilled.

                            today I broke 100 miles for the month of June.   that makes 60 consecutive months of 100+  since July 2009. 5 years straight!

                             

                            Yesterday, I also broke 100 miles for the month of June. That makes 1 consecutive month of 100+ since, ummm... June 2014.

                             

                            Woohoo, first time I've ever run 100+ miles in a month!

                             

                            There's quite a bit of walking included in those "running" miles, but I'd rather run/walk for an hour than just run for 15-20 minutes, so I mix walking with running, and try to keep doing more running and less walking. My goal is to run for an hour straight w/o walking by the end of this summer.

                              Seadrive,  excellent work!!    you cant have a streak going without the first one.  so you are on your way.  doesn't matter if you ran, walked, skipped, crawled, whatever.  what matters is that  you are consistently getting out there & doing it.  one hour without a walk break is a fantastic goal.  keep up the good work.

                               

                              Clay:  200 miles/month !  awesome.  enjoy your rest day, you earned it
