Progress Marathon May

[BigDaddy]

Ran with my Wednesday evening running group last night. Nice little warmup before heading to indoor volleyball league.

Took too long of a break with the inlaws here. Need to get my distance back up over 4, but happy with the time at least

 

[BigDaddy]

Shorter run tonight. It's warming up this week, but still a nice evening for a run.

The time was hard to track, about 5-6 hours for a 14km hike that was dirt and lots of hills but this was one heck of a view.

This was my first ever 10k without walking. Very happy about it

I just did some quick math and I think I'm already at ~18 miles for the month. I might try to do 1.5 marathons or even a stretch goal of 2 since we still have more than half the month left.

@Gloom-is-good you should go for a running time of 26.2 minutes without stopping at whatever speed works for you. That can be your marathon for the month (walking counts, so long as you don't stop entirely).

Saturday run.

Uh... I am really not that athletic... Pretty sure if I tried to run/jog for 20 minutes straight I would just keel over and die lol (yes, I understand that's just a mental thing)

That's why I said you can walk for part of it!

But don't mentally die.

Running with the Cows 5k this morning. I did not see any cows, but to be fair I only ran the 5k and not the half marathon. According to my watch my 5k (3.1 miles) time was 21:05. The distance and time below are from when I stopped my watch as I crossed the finish line. I got first in my age group and 12th overall. Not too shabby for not having raced a 5k in a long time.

Forgot to post this yesterday. I was going to take a rest day, but there were storms forecasted for tonight, so I decided to get a little run in on Sunday.

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Hell yes on the running for your day of rest!

I did another longer one today. Glad I was able to do this so shortly after the 10k.

I somehow did exactly 3 and a half hours (to the second) on my first 5 runs of the month.

Walked to Target after dinner. Earned myself some durian ice cream before bed

Nice! This is a good long walk right there.

 

[BigDaddy]

Run Club!

Yeah I actually thought it would be shorter I told my husband when we began that I might call an Uber for the return trip but I stuck it out!

Cut my 10K time to a 9 minute pace and also broke the 7 mile mark.
