1000 Miles in 2012

Well, actually, 202. 

Made it over the 200 mile mark today, on the last day of february! 798 to go! At this pace I’ll be done by Halloween! Well, not done, never done, just ready to set another goal!

Miles today: 7

Ugh, I know, I haven’t posted in forever. Some weirdness in my life has been distracting me but I HAVE been running every day. And I’ll try to log it in this more often. I always update my dailymile account so you can always keep track of me there if I go missing for a few days. Anyways, yesterday I was super stressed so I did a lovely 7 mile run. Omg, I felt amazing. I wanted to go for 3 more but then I had to get ready for work! It’s amazing how much easier it gets after the 3 or 4 mile mark for me. Like, those miles are fine and all, but after I have been running about 35 minutes I feel unstoppable. Or, at least, only my grown up responsibilities of having a full time job can stop me! 

Yesterday was decent weather for my run (cold and cloudy, i’ll take it!), but I have gotta say, I am SO TIRED of running in the rain! I keep thinking “it’ll make me a better runner”, but it just requires so much extra effort to keep going that it kinda takes the fun out of running, sadly. Ah, it’ll be spring soon.

The other day I bought some brand new Nike running tights and they are so amazing. Seriously, they look like they were made for me. I think they might even make me faster if that makes any sense. 

Miles this month: 80

so accurate!

days of wimpily shuffling through 2 or 3 miles, over! Powered through 5 today, easily! I guess this means the lingering chest cold i’ve had for the past week can SUCK IT. 

more later if it stays nice out.

Sorry about the lack of posting, i’ve been running every day but only 2 or 3 miles a day because this stupid chest cold makes it so painful and hard to breathe :(. It sucks that my mind is totally ready to run 7+ miles but my body is holding me back. I feel like I had a mental block about running long distances but now that thats gone..i’m sick.

Fuck being sick! I just want to RUN!

Third day in a row of a 3 mile run. I know I need to kick up the milage but I have been so busy! I know, excuses. Today was a beautiful run, at sunset. It was so sunny! It’s supposed to rain later this week but I want spring :(. Oh well, soon enough.
