Last day of the year

Yesterday I ran 6 miles, one hard uphill thing. Today I ran 6 outside and halfway though the snow came, lovely. The other runners I saw exchanged knowing looks...and an old Russian man said in a thick accent "good for you" as I approached summit road. Sometimes the universe is nice. Have to cook some cupcakes for a part tonight, and not eat all of them. all. of. them.

I hope tomorrow the streets are alright to run...cause the gym is a pain to get to from home.

Happy Last Day.

Day one...so mixed

Ran 5, Indoors...miserable. one of which was a horrific stair experience. Wow. I'm gonna hurt tomorrow. Also did weights. Lots of them.

Then went back to work, (in what I thought was a cute baby doll sweater...) wherein an older gentleman asked when the baby was due. I said I was gang raped by a dozen donuts thank you very much I don't know the exact date...i just know I woke up and there were sprinkles everywhere...

Shheeeeesh...great segway into weight and running eh?

The way I see it...To run this thing with any grace, I need to off a solid 40 lbs. Totally doable. I hear bulimia's making a comeback. Nah...I'm going the points route.

Day one eventful. I think I should keep my eye on a lesser Ultra...say a 32 miler in case I've bitten off more than I can chew...who am I kidding, there is no "more than I can chew"....

Running Log Day One

Okay...so I officially have 9 months till I attempt my first Ultra. Hopefully the Vermont 50 in October. That means from now until then I need to bang out 3 marathons. Which also means I need to get back in marathon shape. So I think to keep this animal honest I will blog my training.

I have modified my work schedule so that I can run 3 hours midday a few days a week. Today will be more like an hour test run. yikes. Let you know how it goes.
