Running this weekend


It's late already.  Where does the weekend go? 
We did accomplish more this weekend than just running but for now the running review will have to do.

Run #51 - I finished my Friday with a double.  (a.m. 3.5 / 28:44 and p.m. 6.5 / 54:07)
I really need these temps to ease up.  I can not imagine "racing" in this heat. 



Friday evening #51


Saturday LBM and I went out for a single run.  The activites of the day combine with the heat to make just one run enough!  Run #52 (3.5 / 28:29) 



LBM ready to keep the streak going.

As you can see even after a cool down, I am still rather red faced.  When will I learn that it is ALWAYS better to get out first thing in the morning?


Saturday #52


No photo of Sunday's run #53 (3.5 / 26:53)  I figure you probably tired of seeing me all sweaty anyway.  We spent most of Sunday by the pool.  So as you can see I did rest from the double digits and double runs most of the weekend.  I am hoping that will do the trick to help my legs be a bit fresher for the race this Saturday. 

Where will this 100 Runs end?  The poll was nearly tied. 
I still have not made a decision and I may simply allow life and how I am feeling make the decision for me.  But for now, my body is saying let's do it and I am eager to see how far I can get.

  1. I'm at the "allow life and how I am feeling make the decision for me" stage right now, too. And I have to say, I really like it! I'm also finding, but because of my heel, that double day runs are much easier on me then one solid long one. We just gotta do what we gotta do to get it done, right??

    You look so cute in your pink shirt and pigtails!! :) And the little guy is precious as ever!! Have a great week, Shelly!!!

  4. Hey LADY!!! I need advice from the runner I know who runs more miles than ANYYYBODY else I know (you). hehe ok sooo last week when I tried to run a ridiculous amount of miles, the tendon right above the achilles started aching-- just an overuse thing. I'll ice and take a day off and get over it.

    The question is.... do you ever get these types of pains? Overuse pain or injury? Doesn't seem like it. How long did it take you to work up to sooo many miles? Oooh and follow-up question-- what does your racing schedule look like? Anything big coming up?

    Does this seem like an interview? Sorry if it does!

    Happy Monday!

  12. It's really hard to remember to get out first thing in the morning, isn't it? It's always a better idea in retrospect!
