We finally reached our goal of collectively running 300 miles in May. How about 325 in June?

Anyone is welcome to join the challenge.


I'll start it off.

I haven't changed my plans not, but my aversion to cycling on wet streets and a possible thunderstorm is trumps so I ran at lunch time today.

I planned on doing 5 miles last night. The 90+ degree heat really got to me though and I cut it short. It was like I was breathing water it was so humid. I think the sudden onset of the warm weather didn't give my body time to adjust. I walked the last half mile back home as well.

Sorry to read about your back; hopefully it's a short lived situation. I'm confident in writing that everyone who runs consistently has had the "pleasure" of the walk of shame back home. Don't dwell on it and do what you think is best to recover quickly.

On a lighter note I did chuckle when "walk of shame" because I had never heard of that term before despite having been in the situation numerous times. May they be far and few between for all of us!

Running in weather that hot is always difficult, but I think you brought up a salient point when you wrote about the lack of acclimation making it much more so. Still, kudos for getting out there in conditions that you knew where going to be harsh.

Oh yes: 297.6 + 7.2 = 304.8. :claphigh: for us. :)

I too got demoralized by the walk of shame this morning. Headed out at 6:45 for a 6 mile run with a hangover. Started off the run with a loose pit bull then had to stop for hydration at mile 4 at a gas station and couldn't get my legs going again. I lost 2.5 lbs in water weight in during the run. F'n humidity killed me.

I guess it's going around. I was going to do 8-10 this morning and instead did 7 with some walking toward the end. I never do that, and now that's twice in a row. I gave blood a week and half ago and I'm beginning to wonder if that's having more of an impact on me that I previously thought, especially combined with the heat. I should have gone earlier or later today though.

I thankfully have never had a problem with any dogs, except for some real little ones. I don't know what I'd do if a ran into a pit bull. I wish people wouldn't keep them as pets, but it's not up to me and some people claim that they're not all mean/dangerous. Anyway.
