RW Run Challenge: Thanksgiving-New Year's Day (Page 9)

That's AWESOME!!!

Bummer. 

Remember, walking a mile is totally legal and an acceptable method of complying with the streaking regulations. 

Happy Friday!  3 miles done today after 30 miles on the trainer watching Dean Karnazes 50 Endurance Challenge (50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states...amazing). 

Just found out both girls have been invited to a friend's farm overnight...bow-chica-wow-wow!  

owl_girl - 2011-12-23 2:08 PM I'm streaking faster! 

Great! I got my 2+ miles in this morning. Super hilly. I mean ridiculous. Running down one of the hills, I had to run from side to side rather than straight down because it was so steep.

But the view was amazing. I remember So Cal having more air pollution. Maybe those emissions standards/laws are having a positive affect.

Merry Christmas Eve Streakers!

7 mile run this morning. I have come to the conclusion that my Saucony Cortanas are not the shoe for me.  My achilles gets very sore anything over 5 miles and my knees ache when I'm done...in 15 years of running my knees have never bothered me until running in the Cortanas.  I was in the Kinvaras, moved to the Cortanas.  I don't think minimalist is the way to go for me.  Back to a neutral cushioned normal shoe for me!

My longish run yesterday was in my NB Minimus trail shoes and I had no pain in my knees following it. I've battled with ITBS for years and had reached a point where I kept on top of it with motion control shoes, an insole in my right shoe and foam rolling.

Merry Christmas to you already, and to everyone else in a few hours.

My everyday shoes are minimalist -- the Merrill Pace Glove. I love them, but I don't run much in them. I have a pair of Saucony something or other -- not the super fancy ones -- maybe Pro Grid?

Anyway -- I got sick yesterday at about noon, while touring an orange grove. I still ran a mile this morning, but that's really all I could handle. I'm feeling a little better this evening, but my throat really only feels fine if I'm drinking something hot -- so I've been drinking a lot of hot water with honey and fresh lemon in it.

We have only a week to go on the streak. Even with some of our setbacks, we've done a great job keeping this going.

I got lost in the hills and ended up running five miles this afternoon.

I hope everyone had a great day. I ate too much. Blech.

I ran for 30 minutes this morning and didn't get lost. We leave here tomorrow morning. Figures.

On to Valencia!
