I PASSED 100 MILES

IT only took 4 months and 15 days, but this morning, during my 7.5 mile run, I passed 100 miles of running for the year. Why is this important. Well, before this year, I don't think I ran 100 miles total in all my life... let alone in 4 months. It's amazing what happens when you set goals, and surround yourself with people who not only are better than you, but motivate you to be better.  My new goal, be at 200 miles by July 4th.

5 Mile Run Saturday Morning

This morning I had an okay 5 mile run.  My average pace was 9:22/mi and my time was 46:49.  There were a few miles where I was running into the wind, and I felt like I was running in place. But somehow I managed to make it the whole 5 miles without walking.  My new goal for running is to do this 5 mile route on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturday run 7-10 miles. 

Pushups!! I hate pushups.  I'm almost done with this app that is suppose to get me to 100.  I can only do about 57, and I only have 4 days left of training.  The last time I did 19x2  22x2  18x2  22 and then 45. The last two sets are extremely hard, and I have to take a longer break than the recommended 45-60 seconds.  I'm a wuss, what can I say.  Next week I should be about to do about 65 pushups. We shall see.

I'm about 12 miles away from running 100 miles this year. I should be there in one week, next Saturday.  I'm super excited because I've never run 100 miles ever in my life, let alone in 4 months.
