Run 100 miles in DEC (Page 2)

7 miles suffer run at 82 degrees puts me at 52 total milesfor the month.

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

I passed 100 miles for December today. That makes 100 miles for every month of 2015. (Compared to 7 months in 2014.) I was tempted (just a little bit) to intentionally stop at 99.9 miles. Streaks have way of taking on a life of their own and I don't want to let running control my life or make me start saying no to other activities just to keep a stupid streak alive.

I'm hoping that the cross country skiing will be so good in Jan and Feb that I won't have many opportunities to get out running.

11 mile run today. Furthest I've ever done in my life with no walking and about a 30 second water break. About an 11:00 average pace which is almost a minute/mile faster than I usually do on my long runs. Was able to finish the last mile with a 9:30 pace as well.

Had my alarm set for 5. Didn't crawl out of bed until 5:30 and after letting the dog out almost didn't go out because it was cold and sprinkling rain a bit. Glad I went anyways.

Just looked at my Training log and I didn't start running until March 11. (My last run before that was in May of 2013) My first run was a 2 mile 2:30/2:00 walk/run which I did in about 24 minutes. I guess I did improve a little bit on that.

John, nice, nice, nice job. You have really improved a lot but more importantly, seem to be enjoying it.

Don, 100+ miles every month is awesome!!! Funny though about the streak. I've heard that other people do the same (skipping a run to intentional halt a streak) and I think that is healthy.

Made 108 miles this month.

Hope everyone has a great new year!
