December 29, 2014 1000 Mile Goal

TA-DA!!!!! I completed 1000 miles of running this year! Yay me! I've been streaking and will continue at least for now, so this isn't a final number for 2014 yet, but here is a picture from yesterday when I completed the 1000 miles :)

Random update: remember my horrible gross bruised tonail that got shut in the car door? Well here is a picture of the day it happened and then what it looks like right now, 7 months later and still not normal lol.

December - Frozen Foot - 1000 miles goal

It's finally December and time to see if I fulfilled my goals! I've run a race every month this year and I'm just 22 miles shy of my 1000 mile goal, which I'm totally hitting.

Frozen Foot

A freezing cold 4 mile run in Canton, NY. The cost is only $5 for all 3 races, so that's great for the wallet.  I did well and felt great even though it was a big icy! 

Yay for making goals and completing them.  Time to think about next year!

November 2014 - Hobble Gobble & Turkey Trot

So yep, I've been really bad about blogging!   Still running and I have completed my year or racing one race per month.  In November I ran two races, the Hobble Gobble 6 miler and the Turkey Trot 5k.

Hobble Gobble

Well it was a freaking cold day and I was sick.  I had a temperature of 102 and felt like barfing ever second. Buuuut well I just can't stay home and rest!  LOL! So I went and ran and then left directly after eating a bagel.  I had barely eaten anything and I did ok for the first 4.5 miles and then I felt like death and my pace dropped a lot. But, I finished! And, I got a medal and a cool shirt :). I actually ran with Molly Ladouceur and Chelsea Bill for much of the race.  Chelsea ended up falling behind while Molly pulled ahead in the last leg.

Turkey Trot

This race starts right in my town and the cost is simply a donation to the local food bank.  So I brought my donation to the Fire Hall (.3 miles from my house), but I had the times wrong and showed up an hour early. So I went back home and waited a bit before heading back.  It was another cold day, of course... November in NY and all that.  But I ran pretty well and finished about 5th overall of the women. It was definitely fun :)
