Run This Year.... 1100 miles

It's getting toward treadmill season.... Have I mentioned how much I HATE the treadmill.  Now that I'm in this horrendous running funk, the treadmill is even more heinous.  I ran on it today, hit 1100 miles, and HATED every minute of it.  I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make it this season on the treadmill... I'm going to download some books on tape and see if maybe listening to a book will help me power through...

I did get another virtual Hogwarts 5K done.  But it was awful and painful and just plain yucky!  I'm worried that I'm not going to make my resolution...I'll need to step up the pace, and that doesn't seem very likely, unless I experience an epic change of heart.  

Run this Year....1000 miles

Still plugging along, one of our last rows of the year and I hit 1000miles.  I haven't been running much, but I've been making up for it with rowing...

Run This Year - 900 miles

While I've been rowing like crazy, including getting ready to row EVERYDAY this week, before we leave for Boston and the Head of the Charles, I have managed to get a few more miles in running as well.

I found the Hogwarts Running Club on-line, they host all these virtual races.  You register, the money goes to charity and you get a cool medal for completing the race.  They also compete for the "house cup" using an app called Charity Miles.  You log all your miles in the Charity Miles app and the house with the most miles is awarded the "house cup."  It's kind fun and I'm hoping it will give me a little incentive to keep up the running.  I got my 900 miles, along with completing my first Hogwarts virtual 5K, the Patronus 5K.  Brenna did it the same time as me, but in Wisconsin.  Kinda cool.

Run This Year - 600 miles

Running is still a struggle and nightmare for me right now, but I'm trying to hang in there and not give up on my resolution and running entirely...  I have managed to get 3 runs in while in Idaho.  The weather has been just beautiful, 70's low 80's, no humidity!  The good think about Idaho... is it's FLAT!!

I don't think these cows had ever seen a grown woman in pink spandex.  They seem truly puzzled!

I hit 600 miles with nothing but cows, wheat and farm machinery around me!  It was a nice change.
