wait, April is over already?

Dear patient Runners,

Let us know how you finished out your April! Was it great? Did it suck? Are you motivated for May and raininshadows running the May challenge? I know that I am! May is going to be a better running month than April for me, I am certain of that!

Here's a quick spreadsheet of what's we've been doing (or not doing) this month), give me your end totals and we can either put this month to its well-deserved rest or for a stalwart few - celebrate and injury-free, move-free job well done. Regardless, we all persevered and are here to run again another month!




Comment here with the April totals!

My April totals are: 5 km (one run only, sigh), and 26 active hours (woo hoo)!

[ridicully]

My running total for the month stuck at 20km. The shame xD

Active hours of climbing and hiking I fully hit my target of 36h though. So that's something...

[raininshadows]

I made 18 miles, but 4.5 active hours total. It was an interesting month. On the other hand, I also got signed up for a 10k next January and a 5k in June, so that's good.

64 miles for me--unfortunately, I totally failed on the "no injury" front. MRI tomorrow. Still hoping for the Edinburgh half, but I'm very depressed.

Oh no! I've been thinking healing running thoughts at you since your last post. The relay team is ready to go for some definition of ready and we really want to see you there!

My fingers are crossed for you!

[thalia]

Well, you will see me there, no matter what--we have plane tickets and a prepaid apartment. [g] I'll post an update to the comm instead of getting into details here. We're arriving in the afternoon on the 29th--you and Tem will already have been there for a while, right? We'll have to make arrangements for meeting up. Three weeks!

Oh... well, as you know only too well because you were there, moving house has sort of put a damper on my goals for this past month.

As such, I only managed to run 6 times for a total of 35 miles - but I did a lot of Other (biking, moving boxes, and painting walls/scrubbing surfaces, and yes that totally counts as a workout!) so my active hours clocked in at 25!

116 miles, 7 hours. Didn't quite make my mileage goal because I took some days off after my trail half. (Which was fun, other than a big fall 3 miles in. I still have some big colorful bruises.)

42 km - 2 active hours

Was sick :/

I had thought I had a not-meeting goals month... but it turns out, I ran a lot more, hiked a lot more, and generally did more exercise, than I thought I did! One of the reasons for this is I've decided that if I only have a little bit of time between my daily responsibilities, I can just pull on the running shoes and go around the block a couple times. It's helped my speed improve to add in these little sprint-distance runs.

total miles: 78.94 (we can call that 79, can't we? :-})

Total hours: 20.75

April sucked mightily for me due to injury and illness both. I did not keep track of hours, and I ran a total of 47.6 miles.
