I sure picked the wrong year to commit to a running streak. We are in the middle of a huge transition at work, which has me working 10 hours per day during the week and more hours during the week end than I would like to admit. So, my week consists of getting ready for work, driving my daughter to school, commuting to work, put in a 10 hour day, fit in a run before dinner, then go to bed and do it all over again. Don't get me wrong, not complaining. I'm very grateful that I am gainfully employed and that I'm healthy enough to run, but heck it's only January and this 20 day streak feels like 100!
Even with the work schedule, the running has gone well. I'm around 60 miles per week and managing some pretty speedy tempo runs on Tuesday and Thursday. Oh, and I managed a 5:33 mile at the Meet of the Miles on Monday night. Good enough for a 11th place in the over 40 crowd and should get me first in my AG in the MDRA Grand Prix. I have a half marathon to race next week-end. Curious to see what the weather will be. Certainly won't be fast in these temps.
Happy Running!
