Run the Year 2017 (May edition)

Published May 31, 2017

Run the Year Motto: EVERY day’s a run day, 2017 miles in 2017

May 2017 update: Ash & Tom’s Colorado wedding dominated everything May – attendees represented all 4 U.S. time zones. HUGE life moment. Not a record month of miles but still exceeded 200 miles for a 5^th consecutive month. Two more marathon finishes, completed my 3^rd Canadian province – tally now at 90. On track to celebrate marathon #100 in Ireland, October 29^th.

June focus: HYDRATION

As temps heat up this summer, gotta solve the riddle. Hydration & nutrition – my marathon nemeses. Consciously increasing raw vegetable & fruit intake all summer. ‘Tis the season, local foods available, time to focus/commit.

BIG supporter of local Boulder business – LOVE LOVE my Newtons (third year, same core brand). However, gonna mix up hydration this summer (been using Skratch Labs). No set solution, sampling Tailwind & Crank Sports’ e-Fuel next month.

Race ReCap: 2 countries, 2 marathons – same East Coast time zone. Cold run in Toronto, warm finish in New Hampshire.

Streaks: 159 consecutive run days, 42 months marathoning

Mileage ReCap: fifth 200+ mile month, ended May at 1,056 miles (216 miles ahead of goal, 2017 half-way mark)
