Day 346 ~ Third Run of the Day
Yesterday must have felt like Thursday because I went for 3 runs. My morning wake up 3 miles, 2.5 miles on the treadmill and then 6.5 outside in the gale force winds. It was during that third run that I crossed over 1000 miles for 2011. I think it's time for a new pair of shoes!
I have been stuck in that "What's Next" zone since floating back down to reality now that my A goal for 2011 was accomplished. You know that little 50 miler that I ran. Sorry but I will be talking about it until I do my next one. Since my B goal for this year is to increase my overall conditioning and reshape a body that needs to do more for me, I am still working out an achievable schedule to allow for family, work, running and cross training. While I have BIG plans coming that require a new level of fitness, I still have the need to get back out there in the woods and maybe chip away at a few more course PRs so I have already registered for the Fire on the Mountain Trail 50k October 30th. Yeah, I was the first to register.
Does that mean I should train to be the first to finish it?
Besides running three times yesterday the day also marked the start of a new running "season."
It was the Return of the Biking Sherpa!
Oh how I have missed her company on the roads.
If I could just get her on the trails too!
She never lets me slack. She is always good for a great story or three.
She helps those miles fly by and never breaks a sweat.
Thanks Biking Sherpa for a very challenging windy run last night
and for the many more to come!
The Return of Biking Sherpa
3 runs in one day and 1000 miles in 2011?! That's amazing! I'm completely inspired by you! I don't workout as much as you, but when I do, I definitely understand the difficulty you have of trying to balance the workouts and family life etc. If only I didn't need to sleep so much! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a bit of company to help with motivation. But I don't think I've ever known you to be lacking in motivation.
ReplyDeleteYay! I was hoping we would be seeing Biking Sherpa around here again soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd keep talking about that 50 miler. I want to talk about it and I didn't even do it!
Wow! Three runs in one day and crossing 1,000 miles for the year?!? That's awesome! It's nice that Biking Sherpa is back!
ReplyDeleteSo, how do you keep a pair of shoes for 1000 miles? curious minds want to know.
