Thanks everyone.
I guess I have to accept that I cant stay up all night, work all day and party all evening anymore.
What is everyone doing for lunch? I had 4 oz grilled venison, 2.6 oz grilled chicken, and 8 oz of Albacore Tuna with some NC BBQ sauce (vinegar based). 103 g of Protein and 15 g of fat.
I have my next paced run this afternoon hopefully. Depends on if it thunder storms or not. I guess my legs have recovered from my run this past weekend
I hope the thunderstorm holds off and you can get your run in!
Last night got onto the my Dreadmill because it was too muggy outside, AND there were thunderstorms around our town threatening to rain on my parade
I ended up doing one of my ‘baby runs’, and then stretched it out and foam rolled for a good 20 minutes afterwards 
. While I was really hoping for some fresh air, it was a solid run. 
2.1 miles
21.22
Ugh, the dreadmill! You did great!!!! Stay safe in those thunderstorms! Best to run inside if it looks iffy for sure!
Promise I will read through the whole thread later. I have only done a handful of 5ks, but I like doing them. I am participating in the Pluto virtual races this summer. I envy all of you that can go out in this horrid humidity and run. I get heat stroke easily and can’t, so I either go out very early in the morning or as the sun sets (if the humidity is decreased). My times aren’t great, but I keep pushing. Eventually, I want to participate in a 5k, 10k and half marathon in Disney. That’s my end goal.
Welcome to the group!!! All levels are warmly welcomed and we all have our own goals. We are here to support you and cheer you on! How fun that you are doing the Pluto virtual 5k series! There are a few others doing them on here as well! Be safe in the heat and humidity! I too have heat sensitivity issues (and I live in the desert of southern New Mexico). Our humidity is usually low but we are in our summer monsoon season now, so our humidity first thing in the morning has been 70%+ and temps in the low 70’s. I’m training for the Dopey Challenge right now in January and it will be my first full marathon!
Thanks everyone.

Haha! Are you getting old, Matt?!?!
I can barely stay awake all day most days! And I never feel bad when I fall asleep at 9:30pm! We get up at 5:15am most days for our runs in the summer.
You rock your Nutrition! I’m not great at that or counting! I’m having Chick-fil-a nuggets and salad! Then a huge Starbucks coffee!!Haha! Are you getting old, Matt?!?!

So everyone says the hardest part of running the Dopey Challenge is the sleep deprivation due to 4 days in a row of super early wake ups. Well, have no fear, we apparently are incorporating sleep deprivation into our training plan now! ????????That huge thunderstorm last night kept us awake from 11pm-1:30am. Poor Winnie was scared and slept in our room, but that went much better this time, we took off her collar to sleep! It was crazy humid this morning from the storm. But I managed 5 miles at an 11:46 minute/mile pace! And I did it in under 59 minutes!!!! Ryan gave me a mile head start today. I managed to stay ahead of him until mile 4.5, then I chased him to the finish! There was a lot of water flowing through our water runoff areas. I was also thankful to see the running trail cleanup crew out this morning! Sand and rocks cover parts of our running path after big storms.
Thanks everyone.

No way is my lunch nearly as healthy as Matt’s but I did have an apple for my morning snack!
Great job @eeyorepoohfan! Your time is decreasing, that is awesome! Poor Winnie with the storms.
I’m glad she was able to sleep with you guys for comfort and that it went pretty well.My lunch today:
2 cups mixed greens
1 cup kale
1/2 cucumber
1/2 green pepper
4 cherry tomatoes
4 oz grilled boneless chicken breast seasoned with Olive Oil,Garlic Powder and Italian Seasoning
2 Tablespoons Newman’s Own Balsamic Vinegarette
All tossed together in a bowl for a delicious and filling salad!My afternoon snack is a bowl of fresh pineapple…. And of course a cup of coffee
Tonight for dinner we are having white chicken chili

I really need to drop a good 10-15 pounds, but that never seems to happen!
I’m almost 38 years old and it seems to get harder each year to drop the weight!
