Ran 18 miles
Felt pretty cool about it too. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could run 18 miles and be well on my way to a marathon. Now I have done two weeks in a row. I need to watch out for my knees though. pesky things. Only 3 weeks to go and then it's 26.2. I must admit that I am rather proud of myself. 2 years ago I probably couldn't run 1 mile without resting.
I am thinking about tackling a birthday challenge of my own. Thanks Dirt Diva
Right now my thought, as it's my 35th is:
35 miles running
35 miles cycling
35 minutes of Napping
35 Push Ups
35 Jumping Jacks (I hate Jumping Jacks!)
35 Sit Ups
35 lbs of weight loss
35 oz of Beer that I have never tried before
I have also battled a short bit of holiday sadness. I made arrangements two weeks ago to get a German Shepherd. 7 month old female, seemed like a good thing then twist of fate. Someone got the dog before me. One week later, I made arrangements to rescue a 15 month shepherd from a woman who could no longer care for hers. She placed the dog two days before i was scheduled to come pick him up. Then sent me a text message to tell me she thought i was no longer interested. Now it may seem like a small thing, but for some reason, I don't know why these to events hit me rather heavily. It was during my run today that it sort of seemed OK. Like maybe it's all part of the cosmic plan... It's just that sometimes the cosmic plan seems to suck.
Any way. Still running and we'll see about that birthday challenge. If i survive the marathon, i can think about running 35 miles.
