i hate in sports when someone says "i got it!" but then they miss it.

3 miles in 28:15. Most normal run I’ve had in two months.

Nice steady pace there lenny

Thanks…All three miles were around the exact same pace, which is rare for me. I did t go all out, but was a bit winded afterward. Hopefully I’ll progress. Really have fallen off from last spring.

You still using that machine?

I've learned to be okay with taking the summer months more or less off, but good job guys. I peep this thread from time to time and everybody's work looks amazing.

Yeah the humidity will be brutal. I just lose so much if I take off more than a few weeks, or only get like 15-20 miles in for the month.

I'll probably run some in July as part of the semi-annual mileage challenge the Believe in the Run folks do, but even then it'll probably be short early AM miles or treadmill work.

September is usually when I start ramping up.

Any of you guys have any races coming up?

Yessir. Not really improving beyond what I previously shared, but honestly fine with that. Trying to expand my strength training regimen.

How many RMers do you hope to be able to beat up at one time?

4 miles in 43:20. Plan was to go low and slow, and was hoping I’d get it in no more than 44:00. This was definitely what I needed after failed faster runs of late.

I’m taking today off

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Did the rare morning run today. 3 miles. I survived.

[epilogue]

I really upped my milage this month. I ran 67.7 miles last month. And I've hit 92.3 so far this month. Still one day to go!

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Heck yeah

Sweet. Nice job getting out there

I ran twice in May and once in June. The last time I went out was for a 30 minute 5k on June 4. I never adjusted to a warm weather schedule

It’s tough. I went Friday and struggled through two slowish miles. The air was thick af

Went tonight and did 3 miles in 29:20. About what I was hoping for with not trying to go too hard. Definitely still pretty humid though

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Finally had a good run. I was due.
