March Miles

Should I aim for 50 miles a week now? It might only happen a couple of times this month since I'll be running in LBL's 50 Mile Run on March 14, but perhaps I'll still try for it. That's only 10 miles a day for 5 days a week- that's sounds attainable. Well, we'll see.

100 Miles Comin Up!

It's official- I just now signed up for the Mohican 100 Mile Trail Run on June 20. AHHH! $171 down the drain. I hope my flat, paved training miles will translate over to a crazy rooted technical trail course. If not, it'll be a lonnnnng 20+ hours of running. Chris has very, very kindly offered to pace me at the 70 mile mark (hopefully he hasn't changed his mind...if so, I won't be mad). Looking forward to the challenge!

6 Mile Run- Week's Mileage

I ran 6 miles yesterday, 7:51 pace. Sooo, I didn't get the 45 miles in like I wanted to, so 25 will have to do. For the first time, I actually wanted to run and wasn't able to. Things have been a little crazy. Oh well...sometimes it happens. I look forward to next week and getting back into routine.

19 mile run

I ran 19 miles after work today, 8:24 pace. 26 more to go.

Running Relapse

Yes, only 10 darn miles last week. I relapsed and did not feel like running and didn't care too much either. Each day I kept telling myself that I needed to run and I was always planning on it...but when the time came, I just didn't want to. Bottom line.

This week will be a weird, short one too because I'm headed to WI this Thursday to visit my friend and won't be back until Monday night. I told her I'm not brining my running gear because I don't want to relive last year's experience at their house after Kettle Morraine. I mighhhht try to run 15 miles today, tomorrow, and Wednesday to complete the 45mi/wk but it's doubtful.

I'll make sure I'm back on board next week!

4 Miles

It's cold out again and so I was back on the crappy treadmill. I planned on running 6 miles but after the first mile, the treadmill made my ankle/shin hurt. It's funny how I got used to the treadmill a few weeks ago and didn't have a problem with it; and now after a break from it, it hurts me. Sooo anyway I ran 2 miles and then did 8 x .25 mile sprints. I'll try to catch up the week's mileage this weekend.

6 Mile Run

I ate a Snickers at work, came home and ate some combos and girl scout cookies, and then took a nap---planned on taking today off from running. I woke up after my nap and felt like a nasty, lazy slob with a full stomach and decided I needed to get some kind of miles in. I ran 6 miles at an 8:41 pace. Felt good.

10 Mile Run

10 miles yesterday outside; 7:50 minute pace.

14 mile run

This afternoon I ran 14 miles outside at an 8:06 pace and then did 15 minutes of abs. I've now mastered the flat pavement...I'm just not disciplined enough yet to do trail/hill/sprint workouts. :(

9 Mile Run

Yesterday I ran 9 miles outside, 8 minute pace. Still lovin the weather!
