2014, Run 1000 miles (Page 5)

Sorry to hear you have had a bad week, Poupen.  Hope things are looking up.

I hit 65 miles today.  Slowly building.  Keep running everyone!

I am still having a great start to the year and focusing on my running.  I've tried to incorporate more swim/bike but it has been very difficult to get that next ride in while trying to keep my run miles up.  Maybe when the days are a bit longer and it's warmer out it will become more manageable.  I'm at 232 miles so far this year and coming off a 45 mile week.

I have been traveling and just generally busy so I forgot to check in and the end of Jan! Anyway, I'm at 436.52 for the year. More or less through my volume build for the marathon. Now into some more intensity and a few races (15K, HM, 5K ... maybe a 10K on the track )

Originally posted by Pink Socks One more thing. I sent in my Louisiana mary medal and hubby sent his Tally HM medal to medals4mettle.org. See the Thank You note we received. If anyone thinks they can give up any medals, this is a great program. -- Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 9:18:34 PM Subject: M4M medals Hi Pam! Thank you so much for dontating more of your medals! It is much appreciated. I want to share with you an email I recently received from the parents of a child at Wolfson Children's Hospital. Thanks again for being part of M4M! Stephanie "I am writing on behalf of my daughter, Annabella xxxxxx. She is 6 years old and suffers from Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) which is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the muscles, skin, and blood vessels. We have been coming to Wolfson's Children's Hospital since she was diagnosed in April of 2011 and will continue to do so for many years to come. Today during her monthly IVIG treatment she received one of your medals that was donated. WOW! There really aren't words to describe how excited she was and us as parents. To know people out there are this amazing and thoughtful brought tears to my eyes. This is a wonderful organization and we are extremely grateful to all those involved it making this happen! God Bless all of you! Amanda & Freddie xxxxxx"

That's cool stuff...I have a bunch lying around that I don't need, and somehow got 2nd AND 3rd place at a race I did. 

Still plodding along at 20 mpw now, so I'm up to about 90 for the year.  Raced a good 5K over the weekend given the 25 degrees temps and the course.

Headed out today to get in what probably will be my only outdoor run this week, given our predicted 10" of snowfall tonight.  Doesn't the weather understand my training plan????  Sheesh!

Broke through 250 this afternoon and am sitting at 253 for the year.  Every week I tell myself I need to pull back and take a recovery week but I get so much enjoyment out of running it is hard to not go out.  It's warmed up a bit here and this afternoon was very mild at about 50 degrees.
