My new favorite running commercial

Day 1160

Wow, its been awhile. just noticed that my runstreak mileage is 4999 miles. almost want to go run another mile just to get there.

14 days and 100 miles

Day 1109 - January 14, 2012

This is a first. I don't think I've ever gotten to 100 miles in the first 14 days of the month. 104 miles for 2012 already!

I should have listened

Ever have that feeling that your body is telling you today is not the day for a long run? I should have listened. I had a feeling I wasn't properly hydrated for today's run and after about 9 miles, I knew it. There was no way to shorten the run either. I had my wife drop me off at the Target shopping center and I was running a direct route home and I forgot to bring my cell phone. So, no short cuts, no bailing out and getting a ride back. I was able to finish without cramping up, but the last couple of miles were really tough and way off pace. I hit the 17 mile mark and walked the last quarter home.

Probably was bit more than I should have attempted given that today's run puts me at 54 miles for the first week of the year. Too big a jump.

Day 1100

Funny. It seemed so impossible that I would get to 1000, now the 1100 mark is like - eh, no big deal.

Glad I've kept it going and been able to stay healthy.

Good start for 2012

Day 1096 - January 1, 2012

Felt strong today and had great weather for a January long run. 15 miles in just under 2 hours.
