July 110% Throwdown (Read 825 times)


Feeling the growl again

    Whatever, Mr. Moonshine. 

     

    I don't know what you are talking about.  That was just paint thinner.  The taste proved it.

      This challenge is going to break me.  What was I thinking when I said I could do 140 % of my highest monthly mileage which was run in October and March?  esp with low mileage the past 8-9 months (more than double the average from the last 9 months). Will keep trying, but not sure if there is a purpose to this kind of running.  This will either make me a stronger runner or a broken one.

        Holy hell.  95F when I started, 98F when I finished.  Go figure it was a southern boy who started such a contest in July...

         

        I will say...if not for this challenge...I would not have gotten out the door for runs like this...

          Well, that whining seems to have helped. Had a decent 4 mile run tonight, with a group of runners who are a whole lot faster than me, but they were doing a lot more miles than I was, and I could keep up with them, at least for the couple of miles I ran with them before turning around.  Will see if I'll feel it in the morning.


          Feeling the growl again

            These damned challenges.  I just kept running every chance I got and only realized going into my last run that I was going to hit 100 for the first time this year.  Craziness.  Especially since 90+ were on the treadmill....

              First decent week in a long time but I am way back. Time to dial this sucker up a notch.

                Ok, thru the 8th I am at 47.8 miles.  Should be @ 56.8 miles.  Behind 9 miles already.  Just like in real life.

                So bittersweet,
                This tragedy
                Won't ask for absolution;
                This melody,
                Inside of me,
                Still searches for solution.
                A twist of faith,
                A change of heart
                Cures my infatuation.
                A broken heart, 
                Provides the spark
                For my determination.

                  I was behind 9 miles in the FIRST DAY when my treadmill broke.  Get back on the horse and get it done.

                    I am looking forward to some cooler temps this week.

                      Week one: 55.2 for the week; 62.9 for the month.

                       

                      100.2 for Week 1, 102.2 adding in July 1.  Shitty start but I really surprised myself with this one.

                        No kidding.  If I had had to run this all outside I've had done like 20 miles this week.

                            Of course I was referring more to the 2 mile run on July 1st.  Wink

                              I am a Monday - Sunday ... so week #1 is 8 days

                               

                              120 miles.

                               

                              Body is bruised and beat up from 1/2 dozen wakeboard runs and as many battling inner-tubes fights over the weekend.  I do not think I will make the 600 ... I am choosing to not care about running SA-SU.  But it is early - I am trying to decide weather to schedule another boating weekend the 21-22 or spend it running.  If I run I still have a chance.

                              Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

                                If I had a boat...especially if it was a pontoon boat...I think the decision would be easy.
