    I got my first medal for placing in a race this morning. It was a 10k and though the rain may have scared away much of my competition, it showed me how far just running consistently can take you. Just 2 years ago I was happy with 10min miles!

      Ran 5 days in a row last week for the first time in my life.  Started a HM training program about 2 months ago and we are ramping up and last week called for 5 days in a row.  Wasn't sure I could do it, prior to starting training at most I ran 2 days in a row and then had a rest day.  Felt great all week, took yesterday off and then ran 5 miles today.  Still feeling great!  It's hard to hold back at this point.  I want to just run!

            Take it anyway you can get it. Next time the speedsters will not be afraid of a little water.

              12-week layoff

                On Sunday, I ran 3 miles or so without stopping for the first time since I broke my ankle. It was slow, but it felt like a run, not the shuffle I have been managing since I started back.  Now that I'm actually running, I'm going to start logging my runs again!

                  30 days of my comic strip in the bag. A short milestone. Sort of like making it to mile 1 in a marathon, but it still feels like a small accomplishment. Any kind of progress in running or in life is truly one step at a time. One day at a time.

                              So, it's nothing compared to the streaks some people have going, but I hit my 100th day today.

                               

                              100 days, 975.6 miles.

                               

                              I'm pretty geeked out about it--and going to sleep a LOT tonight to celebrate! Smile

                              "When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."
