Sum up June .. the good the bad and the down right ugly

Courtney K June was a crazy, yet awesome month for me. got to do a obstacle race. hurt my illiotibial band ,got bit lazy but had fun and learned a lot

Alison J Got back into mountain biking, went over the handlebars, crashed into a tree, fell off a bridge, got lots of bruises, but had lots of fun doing it :-)

Claire L The good: Joined this site and joined the gym and am using it.
The bad: am suffering from back ache which I am hoping is just down to me getting used to it
The ugly: I think I would echo Joanne and say the amount of rain we have been having

Joanne M The good: I was really pleased to complete the Complete 50 TS Challenges challenge. That's was a big milestone for me. Onwards and upwards now! The bad: I'm struggling with some of the daily challenges - just can't seem to get them into my routine. The ugly: too much rain. Is a nice, dry run too much to ask for in June?

Neil B Good: worked out both mornings and evenings
Bad: have not been able to 100% eliminate alcohol
Ugly: still fighting the loss of muscle mass

Eran K So... The GOOD are 180 km running, especially 3 long trail events (15 - 20km) that really took me to a different level of effort, and joy. The BAD, I didn't get a chance to complete my 30km run, still itches... and the UGLY, well, that will have to be the weather over here lately, constant heat & humidity all the way till October, so here's to sweaty runs, late night workout and plenty of beach time. HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!!

First P June was a great time of running for me. It was a joy and it felt so good to be out there on the road, on the trail, in sunshine and in the rain. The pleasure I felt is indescribable. I felt stronger, I was and am running faster. Sometimes I had to rein myself in to avoid overtraining and injury. It's like the beginning of a love affair. I am loving running more than ever!
Total Mileage for June: 152 miles.

Cheeta L The good: Adventures on holiday in Spain (swimming, running, cycling, skipping & training in the lovely heat!) and starting Juneathon
The bad: having a car accident, not being near a computer to blog about Juneathon (on holiday in Spain) so having to call it quits.

Callie C The good.. We ran a great waananga (training camp) this month, the gooder... Lots of great adventures, the goodest... Achieving first marathon. No bad this month and looking forward to another great month ahead:)

John G I loved June 2012... It was the first month I ran ALL outside miles, no treadmill. Did over 100 miles!! June was awesome! Got alot of good work in!

Rick B Wicked hot and July doesn't look much better. Getting the runs/cycle in early of a morning! More indoor workouts on the horizon.

Aireal M June 2012: Pushed myself harder than Ive done in quite some time! Feeling and seeing the results. Lets go July!!

Maria G I ran 250 Km! YAY! Did 3005 chair dips! Almost 10000 crunches! + lots and lots of other challenges! All good! The ugly! Two 30 min. syncronizes Burpee marathons w/ Lisa M : P Ugly in a good way! : )

Samarth A It was a good month for workout. Did plethora of push ups, chair dips and crunches. Did Ab Ripper X and it was great( Still doing it). Core is better then ever.
Bad part that i ran less. Not more than 15km in June.

Rob R The GOOD : Kept to my core challenges, should book 5000 + push ups, churned through the core and strength challenges, got on the weight loss. The BAD: Not pushed out anywhere enough km on running or cycling...I can use the excuse of lack of time and the c**p weather, but I truely I need to prioritise this more.

Lorain R The Good: Had a birthday (#53) and I am in the best shape of my life! I have beat my previous personal best (which I just set last month of 206 miles of running) I am at 213 miles for June and I have yet to run today. (Last June, due to an Achilles injury I logged only 55 training miles) I have logged almost 900 training miles for the year, so far. I have run 66 days in a row; before that I was ecstatic at having completed 7 days in a row. I got back on my bike, and did some real barefoot running. The downright ugly: did some whining, doubted myself a few times, and I still need to clean my house. I am more interested in my personal fitness than I am in making sure my chores are done. There you go.

Frank P June- by the end of today I will have completed 10kpushups, 641miles of cycling and some odds and ends fitness training. I also completed my 1st metric century (4:13) and century (6:15) rides, and my 1st offical bike race/tour All while fighting a nasty chest infection consisting of a nasty cough which I am still holding on to. Overall, I am pleased - however, I missed my goal of cycling 800miles for the month.

Kirstin M June - Was feeling a bit down with pole classes stopped for June and needed something to use up all my excess energy - discovered TS and really enjoying all the challenges, tribes and discussions. Actually think I am in better shape now than at the start of June!

Wooohoooo O Good - my birthday trip to Harry Potter Studios Tour, getting a sub25 minute 5k PB. Bad - not being able to exercise at the mo as a result of the Ugly: infected toe following the Wall Run

Marie N June was a great month :) The GOOD: have covered 130.73 miles my biggest monthly total since starting to run in January; I treated myself to a pair of proper running trainers; I came fourth in the Race for Life and got a PB for a 5k (23:20); we had an offer accepted on a house and we are hopefully exchanging next week. I really can't think of anything BAD or UGLY that has happened this month .... wish all months were as good :)

Sam S June saw me complete the 54 mile London to Brighton cycle. It was, quite simply the BEST physical achievement of my 38 years and I am ridiculously proud of myself and can't wait to try it again next year...FASTER! Training for this and 3 charity 5k's has got me back to a reasonable fitness level and I just want to do more. The only ugly side of June was when I bought new scales and realised I was heavier than I thought...bummer! It's probably all muscle though so that's fine ;-)

Archie H June was a exciting month. I ran a 5k and won my age division. The YMCA in Dewitt put out really nice dryfit shirts. I got to meet a local tv anchor person. Workouts have been great. I'm learning to regulate my sugar and carbs. June was super.

Molly H Good--lots of regular exercise and lost three pounds. Bad--not making my yoga classes this month. UGLY--trying to retrain my running stride to stop the heel striking!

Sarah T June was far too lazy a month for me. I only put in 38 miles (61 km), when my goal was 50. The scale isn't moving, either.

The good things were - my size is changing (had to get rid of a couple more things from the closet), I got back on the bike for the first time in 10 years, and I climbed a mountain for the first time in a very long time. Those things make me very happy!

Ian C Good..the 11 mile run at the beginning of month and entering the 'ultra distance' London Duathlon in 10weeks..bad..the inability totrain due to the 'down right ugly'..trapped nerve in back!!

Mike D The good = I am the fittest now I have ever been
The bad = Too much alcohol last weekend
The ugly = Bleeding nipples after a long run

Rab A The Good...I am strong
The Bad...I am having a flare up of my Auto-immune disease
The Ugly...Me, after 7 mile run last week...I was wrecked...

Casey K It was a great month, started marathon training, up to 14 mile long run. Ran my PR in a 5k in 22:37. Its been great, really no ugly!

Louise F The good - being cleared by my physio and consultant for running (well, stomping like a toddler)
The bad - being cleared by my physio and consultant for running (well, it hurts!)
The ugly - 4 horses with more grass than they know what to do with - they are being very, er, lets say 'productive'!!!
