Today: 6 miles total: 9 miles Streak: 2 days Division: 2-0 Conference: 2-0 Nipples: 2
I'm in. 1 mile yesterday. I'll upload the data later. 2 miles today on the hamster wheel. First time ever on a treadmill. I think I need one!
I have one. No way I coud keep up the streak without it with three kids. My treadmill guilty pleasure: watching The Biggest Loser on Youtube while runnig. Don't tell anyone.
Also, today marks one year of my streaking. Yay!
Penguin Power!
I ran a 5 mile race down by my parents house with DH and my friend Jess. Paced her to her A goal :-)
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)

TeaOlive, you ever run Bussey Point? The 12 mile yellow trail is well marked and a nice run.
X- No, I usually just run in my neighborhood. I hate to waste time driving anywhere. My first 50K was on
Bartram Trail which goes from West Dam to Wild Wood Park / Keg Creek just across from Bussy point it
looks like. The trail is nice but too much tree cover for me. Kind of claustrophobic. Looking at your map
Bussey Point looks pretty much covered as well.
I've been thinking of using Ft. Gordon Rec. area for my long runs (not all that far from my house) when I start
ramping up my miles again. It's more open and not so desolate. Plus there is the little store etc
We do use the Augusta canal starting at Savannah Rapids Pavilion running toward Augusta out and back.
It's a nice dirt road right between the river and the canal. Roundtrip maybe 15 miles.
If you want something more challenging you might like FATS. Convoluted drive to get there for you maybe.

I think I would like to commit to this, with maybe 60 December miles? I'm not much of a runner, but I need something to help me push through the winter brain sludge.
Did the minimum mile today. For some reason my shoes are tearing up the back of my foot. Oh, and I'm still sick with this damn cold.

Freezing rain before I got out of work today. Shuffled 1.3 miles on the edge of the road where it wasn't quite as icy.
Nice job on the streak Jancika.

Wind is not my friend.
Ran six today. I don't have a treadmill and hate them. However I can see their use in the nasty weather. Hope we don't get anything too bad for at least the next 33 days!

Another quick (for me) 3 today. Gorgeous day...sunny 46. Nice break in the Kansas cold snap. Now onto the family Thanksgiving gathering. Hosting 30+ and heading to the kitchen. They'll let me out about 9 pm.

Drove up to the mountains of North Carolina for a few days with family. Snow on the ground, but managed to get in 2 miles yesterday, for day 2 of the streak.
From the Internet.
Day 12, first run with new heart rate monitor. A humblingly slow 8.5 miles but feeling very good - I think low heart rate training will make it that much easier for me to keep up the streak.
1.3 easy today purely for streaking purposes!
Keeping the streak going although my legs are complaining from ten runs in a row, need to be careful because my mileage has been low this fall and don't want to screw anything up by ramping up mileage to quickly! able to run two runs in a row with friends, which was a great way to catch up with them, and both run considerably slower than my typical pace which helped me keep it easy and gave my legs a break
3 / 35 done!
I've realized today that my mileage goal is a tall order, but no way I'm not achieving it.
3 down, lots to go!
Did 14 miles on the treadmill today while watching the Stephen Hawking movie, "The Theory of Everything". I feel enlightened. And tired.
