Day THIRTY

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Thirty days. I ran all but four. Well... ran  or played soccer or one night rode the bike :) Point is, I rocked it. I'm totally excited and much more fit than the beginning of the month. I haven't weighed, and with Thanksgiving last week I'm sure the scale hasn't moved that much, but otherwise I bet I would have dropped a couple of pounds. But Thanksgiving was verrrrrrrrrrrrry good to me this year :) And I pretty much did it.

Monday is soccer night. I was hoping to get picked up for a second game but I didn't, so just one game = 2 miles. Of course, I needed 2.25 miles to break 100 miles so when I got home I took a nice short jog up and down the road. A quarter of a mile later... success!

Today: Soccer + .25 mile run = 2.25 miles

Total: 100 MILES!!!!!

Day Twenty Nine

Almost done! Woo!

Meant to go for a long run today but got caught up with grad school apps, etc. "Etc" being watching football and being a lazy bum. Finally heaved myself out the door with only enough time for a few miles before sunset, but then it felt so good I ran in the dark. And tripped on the sidewalk, spraining my ankle. I'm a klutz. This is why I don't run after dark.

Today: 6 miles

Total: 97.75 miles!

Catch Up

Whew.

Whirlwind trip to AZ meant I really fell off the horse. Whoops :)

Wednesday I worked all day, jumped in the car with Boyf and seester, and sat in traffic. Gah. Didn't get into AZ til past midnight. No run. Oh well.

Thanksgiving was full of cooking and eating and spending time with friends and fam. No run. Again, oh well :)

Friday we went on a nice long hike, about 5 miles. I'll count it.

Saturday spent some time at the airport with my grams and drove back to CA. No run again! Oh well.

Today is Sunday and I will be running. I promise.



Last few days: 5 miles

Total: 91.75 miles

Day Twenty Five

Another Ugh day. I had a terrible day at work, got off late, sat in traffic for an hour. By the time I got home my brain felt fried but after a little time to recharge I picked myself up and headed to the gym. The complex's gym has 3 treadmills, which is usually more than enough for the number of people who want to run. But tonight TWO OF THEM WERE BROKEN. Gah. And I got there 5 minutes after another girl, who claimed the one working machine. It was too late and too cold to run outside so I jumped on the stationary bike... ew... and did enough for 200 calories. I'm undecided as to how to count that - its the same number of calories as running 2 miles but I didn't actually run it. But either way day 25 was somewhat successful and now its overrrrrrrr and I only have ONE MORE work-run day. Thank god for this long weekend.

Day Twenty Three

2 soccer games.

Today: 4 miles

Total: 84.75 miles

Day Twenty Two

Today was my worst run so far. Ugh, I swear it was unbearable. I felt so heavy the first three miles, felt good for like a mile and a half, and was so so tired for the last couple. Ugh. I was counting down the entire time... "ok, only like 3 and a half miles to go now!" But I got through it and I'm glad I did. It was a nice long run and now I don't have to go on another long one for a week! Yay!

Today: 11 miles

Total: 80.75 miles
