I sense my streak will come to an end this weekend... Bugs you might win afterall...

If I have to run through this miserable cold of mine you gotta keep going too!! I wasn't trying to so much compete with you but keep you motivated, but I kind-of sensed you liked being ahead of me. So what's going on?

Bugs - I don't mind not being ahead of you!! And I like that we were both keeping each other motivated!

But why do you think you will have to break streak? Honestly, I was just doing this because Nobby encouraged running everyday. These one milers I've been doing seem kind of stupid, but they make me feel like I'm telling this cold who is boss. We'll see in a week won't we? For me this streaking would be more fun if it was at least 3 miles each day, but I'm really trying to avoid that dam cardiologist, so I run just one milers while sick. So what IS GOING ON????

Ah OK, note to self, check gmail account. WOW! Good for you. Murphy does it all the time, why not you. This cold is a cough thing now. DH is coughing just as much, so must not because I ran my @ss off last night.

I was about your age when I first started biking. I would bike 3-4 times during the week about 40-60 minutes, nothing major. On the weekends I might bike for a couple of hours. I didn't run then, long story. One day I decided to see my brother, who lives 40 miles from my town. I get to the edge of his town and decide it was probably dumb not to call ahead, so turn around and go home. I only had one bottle of water, got stuck in a major thunder storm, and got sunburned. By the time I got back to the edge of my town my legs just stopped working, they were done at the drop of a dime as I really the WALL, but I made it. On very little training (and overweight) I went out and biked 80 miles with no nutrition. I didn't know this was considered hard until I got older. It's still one of my favorite memories. Sometimes you just have to put what is hard or crazy out of your head and go for it.

thank you for sharing! This is definitely the most "crazy" and "stupid" thing I've ever good. DH says it's good for me! LOL

You will be fine, you have youth on your side. You did the right thing to post to Team Blister.

What happened? Did I miss it? Did you get injured? I'm back on the roads. Not everyday, but more often than not lately...and working towards everyday again. I'm slowly getting my motivation back.

I've decided that not running the Monkey would cause me more regret than the pain I will suffer from running the Monkey unprepared...
