I streaked...twice...

Yesterday was a double streaker kind of day.  I set out in the morning to try and get some miles in so that I didn't have to stress about getting the miles in at running club.  Well....I had some problems...some sports bra problems...apparently it is time for new ones.  I think I am down to 2 bras that I can run in without bouncing all around.  Needless to say my run didn't happen...I walked Harley for a mile though to make sure that the streak continued.
Running club was last night as well so we all went, Ty, Addie, and myself.  It looked like the skies were going to unleash on us so I was hoping I could get my four miles in.  I double backed a few loops of the parking lot and would then catch up to Ty and Addie again.  Around mile three every one else was finishing and I was ready to give up and just not make my 50 miles for the month.  Not sure why I was so scared of finishing after everyone.  It was the words of a 4 year old that made me finish.  Addie looked up from the stroller and said "Never give up mommy".  How could I not finish after that.  Thanks to Ty and Addie not letting myself I give up...I did it...I finished way after every one else but they waited for me and so did the two workers of Fit2Run.  I made my 50 miles for May!  Now if only I could keep the running pattern I had for the last week...28 miles in 7 days...and I wouldn't have to worry about getting my miles in on the last day :)

I'll combine today's streak post also.  I was only going to take Harley on my mile run (rest day) but Davidson looked so sad so I leashed him up also and decided I would attempt to run with both dogs.  Big mistake!!  At least they got a nice mile walk out of it and my streak continues!

Streak is on..

Yesterday I got another 5 miles in between rain storms.  I was really hoping the rain would let me run outside because we all know I hate the treadmill!!!  Plus my garmin doesn't work on the treadmill so I don't think those runs count :)  I did 2:1 intervals last night and it was hot and muggy again but I did it.  I haven't done back to back runs in awhile plus I did 30 Day Shred yesterday...needless to say my legs were feeling it this morning!

Tonight's original goal was 6 miles to finish off my 50 for the month...however my legs had other plans.  Still very sore...you know the kind you can forget about until it is time to go to the bathroom...you know what I mean!  ouch!!  I knew I had to get a mile in and after beating myself up about not going to be able to do my six I convinced myself, with Ty's help, that a mile would be ok.  I do have tomorrow to still finish my 50.  I took Harley out and did an out and back down the street and did 1.5 miles.  It started out awful...my legs were heavy and my heart wasn't in it.  After the first quater mile I was feeling better so I decided I would try to run the whole mile.  I would have made it, but I couldn't decide if I wanted to cross the street or just turn around on the same side when I hit .75 so I took a brief break waiting for the crosswalk, then decided it was taking too long so I just turned around and kept running.  I made the mile and then ran/jogged the last half to get back home.

And the streak continues.....

Streaking!

I know I still owe some race reports but for now I will update on streaking.  No not that kind that you are thinking of....but from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Ty and I will be joining the Runner's World Running Streak.  We have vowed to run at least 1 mile a day from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  This is going to be hard but hopefully one mile will turn into more miles and we will keep on keeping on.  Last night I didn't think we would get it in, and it was the first day!  But the rain held off...I started with Harley and did a rough mile and decided I needed a pit stop (potty stop) so we headed home.  I was ready to call the quits because my mile was done (even though my real goal was 5) but when we walked in the door, Ty and Addie were about to head out to join me.  So I went back out with them and took Davidson...he lasted a lap.  After that lap, Ty took Davidson and Addie home...I did 2 more laps...and made my 5 mile goal!  It's true the hardest part is just getting out the door.  11 more miles to make my May goal of 50.
Today is raining again...I did Jillian Michaels Level 1 of 30 Day Shred this morning...and if I have to run in the rain tonight I'm ready for it.
