Going the Distance

Day 100

YES!!! Day 100 is finally here.

I did a run in the morning heat. I was aiming for 10 but it was just too stinking hot. I have done quite a few longer runs since I last posted. I plan on running daily and really getting some miles under my belt. May or may not keep up blogging – not so good at it anyways.

total 6 miles

Day 82

Okay.. I officially suck at blogging. I know there’s only 2 people reading this (at most!) and do they care if I run every day? Or if I write about it? Not sure? But I certainly do! And I’m getting back into the running part of it. Although, the writing is certainly lacking. I’ll try to do better. I want someones morning routine to include reading my nonsense and cheering me on in my running campaign

Since I last posted…

- ran 3 with Andrea

- ran 2 with Stacie at Hillendale

- hiked 6 on the Whiteoak falls trails in Shenandoah http://www.hikingupward.com/SNP/WhiteOakCedarRun/

- and yesterday I ran 5 with Andrea. We had a few short walking sections so ended up doing 6 total

Today is an off day. Tomorrow will be my first run in the Georgia heat and I think I’m going to do my first hash this weekend. Details to come!!!

Day 77

Went for a 3 mile jog with Andrea – our goal was – to find the flattest road in Hburg. I think we succeeded!!! It was a nice slow paced jog. I had a horrible stitch in my side the entire time and it sucked! But we got our mileage in!!

total 3 miles

Day 76

Went for an evening jog with Andrea – she’s training for a half marathon in September. It was a nice slow jog in this awful humid heat of VA. I felt really good – def one of those days where I felt like I could have run 10 miles!!

total 2 miles

Day 74

dewolfkatie — Mon, 31 May 2010 23:45:09 +0000

Wow! Took some time off from running, had a great vacation, started back at school for summer but now it’s time to get back to the routine and get some miles under my belt. I ran once while on the cruise but the rocking of the boat made it quite difficult to stay centered on the treadmill. And the amount of alcohol in my system wasn’t really conducive to running! Once I got back it was hard to get my head back in the game. Today I decided it was time to kick my butt into gear so I headed out for a short run around the neighborhood.

total 2 miles

Day 50

dewolfkatie — Fri, 07 May 2010 02:33:26 +0000

Drove back to Ohio today! A pleasant 7 hour drive with the Suka monster. When I got home I decided to stretch my legs and take a jog around the block. My watch was malfunctioning although I’m guessing it was mostly user error. I realized that my New Balance runners need new insoles – so that will be my mission for the weekend because my feet/shins really felt the pavement today.

total 3.5ish miles

Day 49

finals fun run by dewolfkatie at Garmin Connect – Details.

Last final exam today. It’s a gorgeous day outside so why bother studying when I can go running? Took off with no route in mind and just enjoyed the run. However, the excess of morning coffee about killed my bladder and mandated a pit stop at the McDs. All the chubbers eating their bfast and I ran in all gross and sweaty nearly about to pee myself. So funny! The rest of the run was nice and I would have liked to go a bit longer but I was feeling guilty for not studying.

total miles 3.5

Day 48

Finals week is not very conducive to training. No miles today.

When I wrote about geeking out about gear – I forgot my fave new item… my performance toe socks!! They sound funny (and prob look funny too) but they are truly amazing. I read about them in a multiday/long distance runner’s blog. They are nice because they prevent friction and thus blisters between the toes – which is where I get most my blisters! They require a little extra room in the toes – I might opt for a 1/2 size up when I buy my new shoes just so I can wear these and allow for some swelling. They are really awesome so check them out!

This link should take you to the Garmin Connect page which shows the stats from my Garmin 405. I didn’t really want to get out of bed and go run this morning, it’s raining and finals week. Double yuck! Hope the link works.

total miles 3.15
