I normally take Mondays off, but I knew I wouldn’t have time to run tonight* so I headed out yesterday evening after work. With a case of the Monday blahs, I wasn’t really feeling up to it so I decided to visit a new (to me) trail for a nice change of scenery. It was peaceful and refreshing, just what I needed to knock out a nice 10K run. (and I wasn’t dragging my feet like I have been lately!)
That wraps up May’s mileage at 118 (190 KM). Definitely on the low side, but that’s to be expected with marathon taper and recovery. And that 118 miles includes one sweet marathon so it was definitely a great month!
Bring on June!
*This evening I’m volunteering with some girlfriends at Olga’s Boys Night Out – an all-male race with all-female volunteers! It should be a fun time and the perfect opportunity to debut my cheetah skirt.
Mission to a(nother) Marathon

Before I saw the caption, I looked at the picture and thought, "That is the same shot I took yesterday!" … have fun volunteering … sounds like a great excuse to rock the cheetah!
Good idea to take a new route…I like the pic..the hand held looks nice, I'm needing to buy another one…I was lazy and mold invaded the tube..yuk! You did have a great May!!
Geez…we were on the same page yesterday. The bikes paths near us were just paved so the hubs and I went out there last night and had a great but schweaty run. Have fun at the boys' run.
Great pic!
What a great concept for a race! Sounds like a totally fun time. And nice mileage from my standpoint:)
Way to get out there, I too love new paths!!Sounds like a fun night..June YIPPERS!!

Great shot! They do take a couple tries to get right…for flattering for me.Great month! No awesome month, a marathon and big miles!The race sounds fun! Oh to see the day when I can race and volunteer! Kids do eventually grow up right? (J/K) 😉
It always takes me a few times to get the right shot too. I think your pic came out great! And your night tonight sounds fun. Yay for the cheetah skirt!!! 🙂
Love it!!!
Love the pic! I bet it is hard to take a picture from that angle! have fun at the men's only race! Sounds like a pretty fun time!
may was a good month for you!that race tonight sounds great! although i'd like it the other way around.
What a fun race tonight – enjoy! I bet you will be getting some hoots and hollers for the cheetah skirt. 🙂
Ha, um, so this means we'll see PICTURES of said Cheetah skirt, tomorrow. right? 😉 Have fun!
Cute pic!! I have GOT to see this cheetah skirt!!!!
Nothing like a new running route to give you a bit of spark.
Ah, so fun! I want to come to your Boy's Night out…I love watching men run, especially my husband! Have fun, take pic of your cute skirt!
There are a fair amount of all women races around but I have never seen an all male race. Seems only fair. Have fun volunteering!
I was just thinking about trying to find new running route not too far from home :)Hope you had fun volunteering.
Looks like a pretty GREAT May to me – especially with that sweet marathon!!Sounds like a fun event to be volunteering at!!
That's pretty good mileage still. I was wondering how you followed up a month of 200 miles. I'm at around 130 last month. No sweat, it's a long year.Hey, on the side i wonder if you're interested in helping me out get the word to running bloggers. As u probably know, my day job is editor of globeandmail.com and my colleagues in the Life section are developing a marathon summer training program/coverage/series. We're trying to get in contact with run bloggers across the country to share favourite runs, etc.. If you're interested you can email me (kyum at globeandmail.com)
the race sounds…uh…interesting. lol
I could totally go for volunteering at that race. ;o)
I should've ran yesterday- I slept in and missed my morning run today!Have volunteering- sounds like a fun race!
That race sounds fun! I would definitely be volunteering if I could :)Great job on May! 118 is still very impressive!
happy national running day…welcome to June….that race sounds fun, i've never heard of a mens only race…
ohhh that race sounds fun!! cant wait to read about it 🙂
Cute pic!!That race sounds like a blast and good job on your miles! I struggle to get 100 a month in. June will be more though. Thats the goal anyways 🙂
oh snap. sign me up for that volunteering! you need to bring a whip haha. way to squeeze in one last run for may! hope you worked out those monday blahs. never fun.
Can't wait to hear about "Boys Night Out!" novel idea. I have heard of all-women events but never all-men.
