    Consistently Slow

      Missed 3 straight days running because of work.

      Hit my 60 mile goal still. 60.3 mile week.

      Sat- 30 Sun 15. Probably not the best training method!

      Run until the trail runs out.

          Heavy rains. Canceled the long run. Decided to actually race. Ran in  rain vest and pants.Took off the vest at mile 2. Did not start back raining until 10:00 after I finished. Very surprised with results.

                I wanted 11  miles TODAY to give me a weekly total of 30 miles, a 15 year high,  but I only got 10.   But I also paddled 18 with 2 gym days.   My legs are toast!    Oh well, 29 ain't bad.

                      Went for a run with Mrs. Shipo this morning; we did just over 10 at about a 9:00 pace.

                       

                      Sitting around a couple of hours later I was feeling restless and went back out to the trail and put in another 12 at about the same pace; my highest number of miles in such a short time frame since I ran my one and only marathon back in 1979.  Now I'm ready for some milk and cookies and bed.  Smile

                        Today marks the end of my first official year as a runner. I'm finally calling myself a runner now. I've actually been running for years but it was a year ago that I decided that I wasn't "just" running to support my daughter/be her running partner but that I was doing this for myself with my own goals. I did my first 'real' race (Frederick Half Marathon in something like 2:00:18) and have plans for my second with a PR time (Baltimore Half Marathon).

                         

                        To cap it all off I completed a 365 running streak (1 mile per day minimum) this evening with 1000 miles. I had some setbacks recently - twisted my ankle pretty good at the beginning of June followed by a "heavy growth" MRSA infection complete with IV antibiotics and some nasty oral antibiotics - but I managed to get in at least a mile a day and pulled off a couple half decent runs this week to get the 1000 miles.

                         

                        I'm pretty psyched. Wink

                          Marylander, congrats! I took a look at your log and it was so exciting! I expected you to be blazing (I don't know--a 2:00 half marathon sounds fast to me), but you just get out there. (And you're still faster than I am, let's be real. Big grin) Fired me up!

                            probably not fast enough

                              I'm 46, about 20-30 lbs overweight, never seriously exercised in my life, and last october I decided to take an active role in my health by walk/jogging on a treadmill.  I eventually moved off the treadmill and I've built up to being able to run 2.5 miles at 12 min pace and 4-5 miles at 13, but tonight, I went out for a one-mile time trial, and actually managed 9:36!  It's a small victory for sure, but I'm quite excited about breaking into single digits, even if only for a mile .
