Heavy

Still trying for that 3 mile mark. Today I only made it 2 miles, but I had fewer 20yrd breathers along the way. Today was tough because of my mentality. I weighed myself before I ran and found out that I'm about 15lbs heavier than when I stopped running in the fall... holidays are rough. lol.

This "knowledge" made running hard today, because I just felt heavier like it was harder to run today.

The dogs where out again. I don't want to take action but they got closer today than yesterday.

I Hate Mad Dogs

So I went for a little job this afternoon, being that I didn't have to work today. I made it about 2 1/2 miles although I feel like I am getting close to 3. I just need to suck it up and go that far just to do it.

Some problems today:

Very Windy. Probably 10-15 mph winds... maybe not that fast but still windy none the less.

AND, One of the farm houses on the route let their dogs out today... they were pissed that I was there. I have seen snakes, wild boar, deer, coyotes, and fox while running, but loose dogs are scary too. I use to carry a can of mace with me but I think I will see if this is a continual thing before I take any action. I just don't want to get bit.

Any tips, and clicks on the Ads by Google would be greatly appreciated.

Stupid Interweb

My Interweb service is not working well so really really quickly...

I did not run today, but I did go on a 6 mile forced march to watch my brother run track.... that counts right? More next time I run.

First Time in a While

History Lesion: I am not a strong swimmer. Nor a strong runner. Last year I was geared up to run a marathon but was unable to get close to running one. I ended up running over 250 miles in training in one pair of shoes.

This year I plan on running more miles although I am not sure if I am going to try for the marathon again.

I need new shoes. ha ha

Anyways today was the first day of my month long adventure. It was a great day to run. The temperature was about 60 degrees outside, sunny and bright. It is winter time so I don't have to worry about snakes or anything... that is always a fear of mine.

I ended up running 2 1/2 miles. My immediate goal is to get to a steady 3 miles by the end of the month. I think that is a good realistic goal, because I know tomorrow will be very difficult.
