Garmin Forerunner 10
For the month of May we are going to look at how we track our runs. After all, we are looking to log some serious miles in an attempt to reach now heights.
There are several way to track your runs with various GPS and mobile devices. This month we are taking a look at some exciting innovations from Garmin and their online tracking feature Garmin Connect.
Garmin Connect:
Garmin Connect is an online resource that helps you keep track of your miles and helps optimize your training by presenting data in various ways. Pace, elevation, distance, allows you to set/track goals and more.
Heat Map:
Here is a new feature on Garmin Connect, you can see where other runners/cyclists workout. Pretty cool. It allows you to find the most popular place in your city for workouts. It’s color-coded based on Garmin Connect activity. San Francisco is below and the red strips are areas that I frequently run. The one at the top in the middle was where the #BostonStrongSF took place.
Forerunner 10:
Stylish, Simple GPS Captures Every Mile
- Tracks distance, pace and calories
- Start running with the press a button
- Identifies personal records
- Virtual Pacer™ compares current pace to target
- Plan, review and share runs at Garmin Connect™
Forerunner 10 is so easy to use, you can start your run with the press of a button. As you run, you can see your time and distance clearly displayed on 1 screen and calories and pace on another. You can also customize the settings to show pace and distance on the same screen.

I actually ran a new route this afternoon near my house! It was a great, easy 2-miler. I have the Garmin Forerunner 10 on my wishlist, would be so awesome to win! Thanks for the chance :)
I definitely need to work on varying my routes, I get out the door and I am on autopilot. So today. I took a new route out of my neighborhood.
Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
Basically everything I do right now is a “new” route but I did try a local prairie path today that was strange because of the surface I ran on. Didn’t last as long as I would’ve liked.
Does a race count? I just ran the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon, which covered a few turns and roads that I hadn’t run before.
I ran a new route around a lake on Saturday! It was really shady, which I think will be GREAT once it starts to heat up this summer.
I found a couple new trails near my home and have taken them recently. Kind of limited on trails where I live so it was kind of cool. Helped to break up the “same old, same old”.
I’ve been running a new route, training for a half in my town. It’s nice to have home field advantage but these hills are killing me!
I try to take a new route every time I go out to keep things fun! Love it – my runs never get boring!
This morning, I decided to explore the vineyards north of my town. It was a great eastbound run and I got to watch the sun rise!
I am trying something new….in that I am totally resting my left leg instead of trying to push myself. With a little over a month left before the SF Marathon, I need to be totally ready.
Today I took the buggy trail instead of the fire road in Nisene Marks State Park (California)……it was awesome!
I tried a really new route. It was at San Tan Mountain in AZ about an hour drive from the house. The trail was a bit dusty with the wind kicking up, but fun nonetheless.
Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway!
I ran through a new neighborhood this afternoon. I really enjoyed it a whole lot. I went 4 miles.
But I did go for a few runs last week in a new state!! Colorado, and I’m from Florida. :)
Trying to figure out how to fit a 13 mile long run into a town that’s only 3.5 miles from one end to the other can be kinda challenging. I was able to figure out a route that was essentially the perimeter of half of town (twice) and through our local college campus was right about where I needed to be. Very little traffic, worked out great.
I’m training to run the Goofy challenge at Disney in January and training around the park in my neighborhood gets pretty boring. today I decided to go out of the neighborhood and run down one of the busier streets and it was a total bust! I didn’t realize the sidewalk ended about 1/2 a mile out of the neighborhood haha. I’ll have to find a better route tomorrow :)
Ran the streets of Phoenix last weekend. (I am from Illinois)I must say, the streets and the heat (as well as a delay in the race) almost did me in. Worst 5K ever (I’m not so sure their clock or distance was accurate. I had left my Garmin at home, bad call.) Can I get a PR for each race setting? :)
I took my first run to my new community garden plots (about 1 mile away) this morning! It’s a slight variant on my usual 3mile morning loop. It’s a great way to get over and water the plants before the day gets too hot.
On Saturday I tried a new route to achieve my distance. I ran to the other side of town. I found new schools, parks, and even horse stables to take my mind off my run! :)
every weekend, my husband and I like exploring new routes for our runs. it’s fun to discover new things and sceneries. makes our runs much more enjoyable. :)
tried a new path… i like to stick to the same ole same ole but switching it up is fun!
My daughter and I have tried new trails in the local conservation area -not sure where we’d end up, but we did it and had a great time and saw gorgeous spring flowers :)
Went for a run with a friend in her subdivion, definetely a new route for me.
Instead of getting a ride after dropping off my car for maintenance, I ran home. New route, nice run, but too many traffic lights.
My first run after having Allie and I saw this little trail that I, for whatever reason, hadn’t seen before. I took it and found an amazing run through the trees. It was shaded so Allie was comfortable and it felt like I was in Oregon again running hood to coast. It was gorgeous.
The sad thing is I’ve been running this same route for 2 years and had never seen this little side trail but I’m glad I tried it. It was amazing!!
I’m always exploring new trails that I saw as I drove by, or running down a new street to add just a little extra onto an old route. Sometimes even just running on the other side of the street gives you a new perspective! The new thing I’ve been trying the last few weeks is a new breathing technique I read about in Runner’s World. Inhale for 3 steps and exhale for 2. It’s amazing — I can run faster and longer and still feel better at the end! I’m still working on making it automatic but I’m enjoying the process.
I tried a new running route yesterday and LOVED it! I found a new trail and it might just be my favorite new path. I am seeing lots of marathon training runs on this path in my near future.
Tried a new one out with the stroller. Got lost but at least that added extra miles!
I use Garmin Connect and never noticed this feature. Fail.
The last time I ran a new route around my neighborhood, I came in and mapped it and was surprised to find it was 5 km almost exactly! 5.01 actually.
Tried a new route along the beach road this weekend! It was gorgeous! I took full advantage of the cooler than normal temps in the South.
I have a love/hate relationship with finding a new route. I’m relatively new to the area, so when I tried to switch up my route today, I have a few “stutter step” moments where I second guessed the turn I was about to make. I ended up adding a half a mile, but hey, it was a great run!
I just ran a 2 miler without mapping it out first, and just going where my heart told me to. It was quite liberating. I’d still like to be able to track my mileage along the way though. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the awesome giveaway!
OMG I want one of those Garmins!!! :)
I tried a trail run with some friends for the first time ever. The granite rocks on the trail were horrible! But it made me want to get out and try other trails!
I tried a new route yesterday. The opposite direction on the little highway we live next to. It turned out to be a bad decision as the road is narrow and gets really hilly and winding with most drivers speeding due to rural area… I felt constantly afraid of getting hit and ended up having to go really slow/stop a lot to not get hit by those maniac drivers.
Also, my route ended at the transfer station which was (DUH!) a stupid move.. :) But hey, a run is a run is a run.. And now I know better :)
Trying a new path beside the railroad tracks for my long run…no traffic, no dogs, should be good!
I am going sunday to run a new trail with my running group!
I tried a new route in town last night. It was fun. I live pretty far out of town so I am used to running on narrow country roads, lots of gravel, etc. Last night I had a meeting so I took my running gear with me and ran a quick 3 miles after the meeting. It was a whole different experience, especially because I kept seeing people I know! Didn’t seem quite as efficient but I had a good time.
I try to take a new path each week. It usually works out fine. I like paths with minimal traffic but still with people.
I would love to win this for my wife. She ran her first marathon this last weekend and I can already see she is a bit burned out. Something like this would be a great motivator to get her back on track, logging miles.
I have been plaqued by injuries, just minor set backs but decided to hit a local trail instead of the pavement I so enjoy. It went well, refreshing to be tucked away in the woods, even saw a couple of deer.
I’ve ran just shy of 40 miles so far this month and it happened to be on the 4th and 5th. I ran a half marathon on Saturday and joined my wife for her first full marathon on Sunday. Let’s just say I am still in the recovery phase. I PR’d in the half by over 8 minutes and ran longer (time not distance) than I ever have on Sunday. My wife did quite well, her goal was 4:30 and we came in at 4:29:46, plenty of time to spare!
I love to run new routes-I ran a new one on a half marathon today and it was awesome:-)
Due to April 28th Eugene Marathon I am recovering with only 40.79 miles so far this May.
I ran a new route this morning and it was awesome! It was about a 2 mile loop with most of it on a trail with a half mile or so of paved. Beautiful, convenient and super fun with a new group of people.
This week I tried out a new route around work! Usually I go up into the Los Altos Hills — but I was too lazy to tackle the “Hills” so I went the opposite direction! Too many cars, traffic lights, and two gnarly hills at the end… But hey, you try something new and you learn! :D
Ran a new road near work!
New route=new scenery. What a nice change (even if there was a monster hill involved!)
I did just under 25 miles in May. I’m working on building that number.
So far I’ve done 40 miles in May, and I recently tried running across the Brooklyn Bridge! The steady hill going up and down is definitely a challenge, but I had a blast!
I ran a hill race that I had never done! It was HARD though. You can check out the pictures on my blog :)
Great giveaway!!!
2. My total mileage so far has been LOW. 10 miles?
I tried out a new route along the country roads in my town. Loved the scenery!
I did a new route yesterday. I got a little turned around in unfamiliar territory but it worked out.
I’m training for my first OD triathlon at the moment and scared enough of it, that I’ve finally given in and started to do hill workouts too. So there’s plenty of new routes to be explored and I’ve already found some that I really like (despite the hills – or rather, when I’m up there) :)
Yesterday, I ran a new route with my running club. This trail connected to a trail I’ve already run, but then it diverged again. It was fun and challenging, with some winding hills … and quite wooded. Best of all, I think I found a great training partner in the process.
I tried a new route yesterday ~ an all terrain trail. It was only 3 miles..but I veered off the main trail for a little more of a workout & and well…wildlife is always nice to see, except when it was (eww) – half-eaten. (f.e.a.r.) That’s when I picked up the pace. Oh & I had my toddler in the BOB stroller. It was a good trail run – little man slept the whole route – but my inner debate being whether I’d grab a stick or a rock for whatever had been enjoying lunch on the trail…was not the distraction I enjoyed. Great weather and only a little muddy but I was glad to get home.
I ran on the beach (barefoot!) this week – it was great!
Took the kiddos to a paved trail near our house (their first time on it & my first time with them on it!) & it was a great way to spend mother’s day with my family! My 5 year old son impressed me! He’s ready for 5ks!
I love running when I travel! It’s a great way to find new routes and explore a city.
I took a new route for my 20M final long run. Great break and ready now for my first marathon in two weeks! A new Garmin would be great in preparing for the next one in October.
If I run after work in DC, I usually run around the Mall. I decided to try something different and run around Hains Point and the Tidal Basin. Very nice flat run… although the bugs after the rain were all over me.
I’m a total roadrunner and never take to the trails. This weekend I did a little bit of trail running. It’s a nice change of pace but I forever have a little paranoia in the back of my mind as far as tree roots,etc go. I’m always afraid I’m going to trip and end up injured.
Ran a new route yesterday at Fanshawe Conservation Area. The weather was awful but the park was really nice…I may have found a new spot to try out whenever it warms up again. Nice lake and lots of trails to explore.
I ran a new route this weekend with a running partner. We accidentally got lost and had to tackle some monster hills. Maybe we should research a little before taking on a new route!
I did a new run on Saturday, when I was adding miles to hit 10 miles for half-training. I ended up going around the airfield (I live on a military base) and down this massive hill… which felt great going down…. but felt 75x longer going back up. Phew. It was a challenge. And then I tripped and fell at mile 8. Nice scars will be left from that.
Awesome giveaway! Would love to try out a Garmin so I could declutter all the gadgets I bring on a run with me.
I tried a new route for my long run and it was really fun to run somewhere new, plus it helps to not get mentally worn out. It was a great morning long run!!!
I tried a new kettlebell class. Now that is a workout!
While visiting my grandparents in North Carolina I ventured off for a run & discovered am amazing trail alongside a railroad. It was amazing to just run with no particular mileage or path in hand. I just ran !!!
I love to vary my routes – it keeps me so entertained during runs to look at new surroundings!
My new route this weekend was my first half marathon – ever. The Fredericton Marathon in New Brunswick! It was all sorts of exciting!
I’m a beginning runner but I think this is really cool and would make my life a lot easier. Running with an iPhone in my hand gets a bit annoying.
Total mileage will probably be around 120 by the end of the month. Nothing fantastic, but I’m working on building back up. :)
We ran a section of the trail we had never been on before, assuming it was for “walkers” and “hikers.” Boy were we wrong!
I ran on a couple of trails near my parents’ house… it would have been awesome (great scenery), but I’m lame when it comes to heat and humidity, so it kinda sucked, to be honest.
Wow it showed me how much I need to change up my rout more often. I got use to the one I was doing and after today, I need to do it more often.
25 miles so far this month!
When on my long run, I took a different route and loved it. Got to do that more often!
25 miles this month so far. Getting there!
I ran a new route this past Sunday! I was at my parent’s and needed to go for a run… so I just went with a general idea of where I wanted to go and how many miles I wanted to run, and wound up running through parts of my hometown that I had forgotten about. It was nice to see them on foot rather than in the car!
I ran the new trail that is almost done being built yesterday (Leap Trail in Pensacola, FL). This trail is very convenient for me since it’s right across the street from where I work. However, the blistering sun took a toll on me ( I started my run at 5:15pm and finished about 6:00pm). I enjoyed the trail, but next time I’ll wait until it’s a little cooler (maybe start my run at 6pm).
I ran a new route the other night! it was a challenge because it involved some hills and a neighborhood I wasn’t used to but it was awesome!!
I ran a new route every day this week! In fact, yesterday’s new route was a goof which gave me an extra mile!
Today I ran a new route, saw some people I knew out on the street, which is always fun. Ran by my Y for a water break (water breaks are always strategically spread out in the run)
Ran 8.8 miles today!
My same route for 3 miles is boring! I decided to mix it up and run around our neighborhood lake (why haven’t I done this before!!). It’s so beautiful to watch the sunrise over the lake.
I would love to try the Garmin Forerunner 10. I’ve heard such great things about it.
56 miles so far.
I’ve just started running up this trail on Mt. Sentinel in Missoula. Currently, I’ve mastered running up it and mostly flailing down it. I think my downhills need work.
I’m on vacation, so I actually took a new route this morning! I went an easy 2.5 mile run along the beach :)
I tried a new route last night. It was fun and HARD. Lots of hills!
I tried a new hilly route. It was tough but definitely refreshing to run on new terrority.
I ran a new 5 mile route today mainly to escape the sun and take a more shaded scenic route. It’s nice to change things up :) I rewarded myself with a cupcake from a shop right off this new route.
Running a new 10K route tomorrow morning! :)
I’m a trail lover, but I tried a brand new trail on Long Island this week= peaceful!!
Last Sunday, for the first time ever, I ran on Disney property when it wasn’t a race!
It’s May in Texas. I run a new route every time I go out… I look for the shade and run in it, lol!
So far this month (May) I’ve run 55 miles.
I am about to embark on a several week journey of running new routes at races all over the great state of Michigan! A new GPS would be great.
I ran a new route last night instead of my usual out and back… it actually seemed to go by faster!
I did speed work on the track for the first time!
I was sick almost all week, so only ran 8 miles.
I tried to run an awesome new route, but I got chased off by a loose dog. Total bummer. I found another way around so it was still new :)
I love seeing the maps. Didn’t realize they had the feature of seeing where others run. New routes are always nice.
I just moved cities last week. Every run is a new route at the moment. Moving to a more rural area has me excited to be running some really great trails really soon.
I live right near a couple city planned paths. so I live hopping on the path and then jumping off on random streets. find good hills that way. and bad neighborhoods.doh!
They extended my running trail so I got to try that out and it was AWESOME!
So far I am at 28 miles for the month of May!
I’m 10 miles into running after healing a femoral stress fracture and this morning I did my fourth run on a new route. I ran to my gym, did my core/strength/PT routine, and ran home. I’m hoping this starts a frequently used route now that I plan to keep up the core/strength/cross training work as I re-start running.
New route! Broad Street in Philly :-)
Tried a new trail route. It was super challenging but it was fun to switch it up!!
I finally completed a run in my new city and it was BEAUTIFUL! Had a brief stop when the fire trucks/ambulance blocked my path to get to a nursing home, but other than that, fabulous run. Couldn’t have asked for better weather and exactly halfway through the 5k route was a Starbucks :) Perfect for an iced green tea to cool me down since it was rather warm and sunny out.
So far for May I’m pretty low on mileage… around 45!
Living in a big city is the best for new running routes. I’ve taken to the back of Hampstead Heath for hill training and trail descents. I also plan to run a route in each of London’s boroughs for a bit of fun, a Garmin would help! :)
Hubby and I like to try new routes every once in a while. We like to change it up so we don’t get bored of the same route. We like to adventure. We stop every now and then for pics. :)
My May mileage is only 48, but I still have some days left!
Ran a new route while on work travel in Miami! It was fun :)
I ran a new route around my neighborhood- It was a pleasant surprise to see an area that I did not know existed!
Yesterday I ran at my sister’s for the first time … it’s hot and humid where she lives which I wasn’t used to. Crazy sweaty run, but a lot of fun!
I have been trying to run where there are more inclines instead of running on the flat trails by my house.
I am about to 80km for the month of May.
I tried something new this month… running on vacation! That used to NEVER happen!
I just ran my first race ever! It was the Spokane Windermere half marathon! New to the race and new to the course! I loved it!
Can you run a new route on a happy mill? No, then Im taking my legs on a road trip…time to hit the beach!
I intentionally ran a different route earlier this week and today. One thing for sure is that I am a creature of habit. My new route brought 3 hills. I only conquered two (with a jogging stroller) so now I have a new challenge to conquer hill #3.
My race mileage for May is 27.5mi. I hope to get in 5-6 more miles before the end of the month.
I ran a new 20.20 km route this morning! Lots of hills. Home to the beach and back! I’ve been trying out a few new routes for my own long runs because I get bored easily. I’ve also been supporting a friend as she is learning to run for the first time and introducing her to not only new routes but a whole new lifestyle!!!!
My May running total so far is 152.95 km or 95.04 miles. I am committed to 6 more runs this upcoming week to finish off the month.
Ran a new Utah route on Saturday and had a great time, but started to make me realize how nice it would be to have a gps watch so I wouldn’t have to tr to figure the distances out myself!
Just got back into running partway through the month after a longer absence, so my total mileage is for this month is only about 40 miles.
I definitely tried out a new trail as I went to California this month! I ran through Muir Woods and on the Dipsea trail and it kicked my midwestern glutes and quads!
Only one route in my area; and it wasn’t fun ;) heat not here
I tried a wilderness trail yesterday (first trail run ever for me). It was pretty difficult! I need to learn to follow the signs because a couple times I strayed from the path. Thankfully the park isn’t all that large, so I easily got back on a trail. I also need to focus on where I’m running. I tripped so many times! But it was still really fun :) Much more effort needed than all the road running I do!
I have my training plan strategically in place so my May mileage will total out to be 91.5 miles, cross-training included. I’m recovering from runner’s knee, so I’m really excited to be back at it after a 2-month hiatus!
NEW Route: Yes! 5 miles, part of a swim-bike-run adventure at Del Valle lake in Livermore, Calif. *Fantastic* trail for running, it was only about 1.3 m long, so I had to go back and forth a bit. Still, had awesome fun (especially having swam .5 miles and biked nearly 9 right before that). Back home, a friend informed me there are rattlesnakes there… oh well. What you don’t know…. right?
May mileage so far: 70.5… wow, so low. I’ve been biking a lot, though. Total miles (incl bike and swim): 267!
With only a few days in May, I have one more run planned (4 miles)! I’ve taken many spontaneous turns lately, exploring new trails and conquering hills!
Exciting Giveaway! Currently at 44.91 miles. Hitting 50 by end of the week. Whoop! Whoop!
I ran 44 miles this month. Getting close to starting my training for an October marathon.
I Ran a new trail this weekend…first trail run of summer. My favorite runs are those that lead to a new discovery or a new route. I trick myself into running further than I intended by taking a different way home.
I recently moved so this weekend I ran my neighborhood for the first time! It was exciting to see the types of houses I’m surrounded by, how people decorate their yards, and how far the run actually is (a measly 2.75 miles but fun nonetheless). Garmin is on my wish list too!

@amandadee__
So far I’ve ran 42 miles for the month of May :)
SUCH an awesome giveaway, PR! I tried a new route yesterday and forged along the other side of the river on a path I haven’t been on yet. Turns out I like it more than the side I always run on!
I tried a new route. IT went pretty well running wise. Although I discovered that there a few too many blind curves and the edge of the road isn’t runner friend (ditches on each side). So I’ll probably need to find a new new running route lol.
So my new path was a trail path near my friend’s apartment (that we got a little lost finding =p)and it was a humid day but boy it was rough. Hopefully with doing it more often we’ll be ready for a race in August that is a trail path!
So I know its not totally the end of the month yet but, I have to estimate because I am just starting to keep a solid schedule and haven’t recorded everything, as my friend keeps yelling at me to do =p. I would have to estimate around 25, I know its not a lot, but hey I’m just starting =]
For the month I think I’m at about 30 miles!
I’ve been traveling a lot lately, so lots of opportunities to try new routes. The hardest part for this last one was finding it. I found the parking lot for the trail head of a major bike/hike path, but I would never have guessed the actual trail head was more than a mile away. Two of my three miles were some really ugly scenery!
Found a great new state park for runs!
I ran a new trail new my house I’d never been too before. It went great, but was a little muddy in some spots.
Ran a new route this week- trail route! It was pretty, but rocky. Worried about my ankles out there.
55 miles
This morning a friend took me out on a new route in my new town – it went out of the little town and into the rolling hills of the country. So beautiful!
I’m at 148.3 but should break 150 after running 5 or so tomorrow. I’m down a little bit this month because of recovery but will be amping it up again in June!
New run yesterday up the Game Creek Trail in the Bridger Teton Forest. Amazing! Don’t know why I hadn’t done it before!
My May mileage is embarrassingly low… 5 km I think!
May mileage 74.2
May mileage will be at 46k tomorrow… C’mon nice weather – show yourself!
Total mileage including the 3.4 I’ll be doing today 34.99 miles. In the coming months that will start to increase as I prepare for a 21 mile run at the end of October.
My May mileage was 40 miles! :)
What a great idea, I stayed in the same area but tried going a different direction and turning down different streets. It really made the run feel easier and quicker
sadly my mileage is super low this month! Like 25 miles low. Coming off my first marathon, getting sick and generally lacking motivation killed me. But I’m back on track!!!
My mileage this month was 106!!
Womp only 20 miles this month!
So far I hit 77!
I tried a new run on our vacation in Florida….I am loving it. Although I must say it is hot here in Florida compared to Iowa. I would just love to win a garmin!!!
I ran new routes because I was on vacation. I ran in DC, Pittsburgh and in York, PA (where I ran my 14th marathon).
75.86 miles this month! Most so far this year.
May miles…91.25
Here’s to 100 in June!
147 miles this month!
I ran 99.2 miles this month. If I had been counting along the way, I would have ran that extra .8… hindsight…
Total May miles – 113.37
210 miles this month thanks in part to my first Ultra (a 50k). Hit the halfway mark on “running the year” yesterday.
I’ll have 93 miles for the month with today’s run.
Finished up the month at 124.24 miles recorded … a few runs not recorded too. Also did some awesome trail running on the Grouse Grind!
80 boom!
Tried a new trail in a new to me park for the last long run of my half marathon training. Ended up loving it and having one of the best runs of my training!
57.3 miles in May.
I finished the month at 61.43 miles :)
62 miles this month! Yeah!
69 miles for the month…should have pushed it to 70!
Tried a new route on Long Island, and ran a half marathon on streets I’d never been to before!
I tried a new route. It was a bit hillier than I had anticipated. I really got a workout in!
67.44 miles for May!
Just over 50 miles for the month of May!
I am a new runner, so my monthly total isn’t high, but I did it!! My total for May is 35 miles.
Ran a new route with my son this morning on the Acorn Trail.
65 miles for May! I know not much for most runners, but it’s the most I’ve had in a month (so far!)
I ran 40 miles in May :)
I finally had a chance to take two new routes this week. Route 1: I ran from my house to the trail I normally run (normally drive)and ran on the unpaved side rather than the paved side. Route 2: Ran from Folsom/Embarcadero to AT&T and back.
I ran 185 km’s in may :)
96.18 recorded miles for May!
My new route was from my running partners house. We swapped childcare, so every other week I ran from her house and we took care of each others kids.
I ran on the beach for the first time ever! And, I learned that I should do that more often. Running on sand was tougher than I expected.
May’s mileage was less than I realized but considering the kiddo’s softball and soccer activities, I will take 29.93 over 0.00 any day.
Ran 96.7 miles. Bad month but did do some new routes. :)
52.2 miles for May!
I took a left rather than a right on my normal running trail – it was shorter but a nice change of pace
I dont have a way to trackmy miles yet, but i try to go about 1-2 miles 4 times a week
Tried a trail race, did a 50k at Pineland farms. It was so muddy, the muddiest year. The hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Oops forgot my mileage total, which was 171miles
This has been an awesome challenge, I have logged 88 miles this month, including new runs on beaches, trails, running tracks, train tracks…wow!
109 miles for me! 50k tomorrow :)
I hit the 100 mile mark today! Woot Woot! Thank you for such an awesome giveaway!
Would have like to have logged some miles today, but I’ve been under the weather. Still, 89.19 miles for May, ran a new 10K trail for an upcoming race, and achieved a post-baby 5K PR–not too shabby for 1 month. Thanks for the giveaway, and good luck everybody!
Ran 85 miles in May!! Biggest month ever!
Just 25.9 miles this month. Looking forward to a better June!
Total mileage for the month of May: 120mi/193kn I had a few new run routes. One in a park I haven’t been to just past our house. It was great to see the kids practicing soccer and playing at the skate park. I also had a fantastic 10K race last weekend on a beautiful new route in Calgary.
According to my daily mile recordings I have run 96 miles in May :)
I ran 166 miles in May. Most of the month led up to my 14th marathon on May 26. Since I was on vacation, I ran in many places this month: DC, PA and TX.
I ran the lowest monthly amount of miles this year for May: 51:04. Kinda disappointing, but then I remembered that I was getting back into the swing of things after resting from my Spring race season. :)
My mileage for May was 68.6 miles!
I found a great new waterfront 10k trail that is my new fav route! My May mileage was just under 60 miles!
I ran in a new place last month :) Ran a park near my house with a group of friends. Miles always go by faster when I run new routes so I’m always trying to mix it up in my neighborhood. PS LOVE the colors that this watch comes in!
Logged 64.06 miles for the month of May :)
