April summary is here.

Welcome to June. We're sneaking up on the longest days. The magnolias are glorious here in northern New England, a yellow one stopped me in my tracks on a run the other day; lilacs are just starting to bloom and scent the roadsides, but it is still late spring as the cold ocean temps keep the temps in the 50s many days while battling the warm sun.

Time to post those hard-earned, brisk May miles, race results and running achievements.

Thought I might break 100 but only 95. Oh well. Lots of cycling and I did something crazy, signed up for an 85-mile ride in Denver June 15th, so I'll have even more cycling miles in June!

108 even for me. Did 105 in April after 200+ in March. June will see this now ramp up again towards 200+ again in October.

200.4 miles for May. Yay! First 200 mile month since last September!

One race, a 5k with 1st in age group with a less-than-stellar time but apparently good enough.

103 miles for May to extend my 100+ miles per month streak to 2 years.

Only race was a hot and humid 5 miler where I was the oldest guy in the 55-64 AG. If only they had had a 64-99 AG, I would have done well! Interesting how the runner numbers diminished with age, there were 14 ages 55-59, 9 ages 60-64 and just 1 over 65.

Started running at age 60.

AG 60-64 PR - 5K 25:45, 10K 53:28, HM 1:57:39, Marathon 4:32:09

AG 65-69 PR - 5K 26:11, HM 2:02:39, Marathon 5:04:47
