Week 2

8/21/12 - First day with new bike!!  9 mile bike.  4.5 mile run. 

Also, Won the Packaging Team Olympics (here's a pic of me winning the final race by jumping instead of running) and got the chance to Run the bases at Target field as Bullseye!

8/22/12 - SO TIRED today.  Ran 2.66 (20 min) + lift.  Just want to sleep.

8/23/12 - Ran 6.25, slow pace.  Massive run blister on my right foot is making me limp. Ugh!

8/24/12 - Set out to run 5.66, ran 6.0.  Much easier than the previous day :)

8/25/12 - Ran 4.0.  Didn't have a lot of time today, spent the morning painting the spare bedroom downstairs, then ran, then went to tailgate at the Saint's game with Riz & Natalia, then went to Jon & Merrin's housewarming, THEN went to Brix's batcheolor party in NE.  They had a party bus and I stuck with them until they decided to go to the Deuce Deuce.  Skipped out and met Jess & Julie @ 1029.

I'm going to end 'week 2' here and continue all further posts recording Sun-Sat.

Week 1

Awhile ago I heard about something that a guy I went to high school was attempting to do.  Run at least 1 mile per day for an entire year.  I always thought this sounded like an interesting idea.

Well, I've been running a lot this summer and last Friday realized that I had run the past 5 days in a row.  Maybe I should give this challenge a go.

So, here's the blog dedicated to that goal.  Let's see how I do.

Day 1: 8-13-12:  5.25 miles.  7 400m sprints
Day 2: 8-14-12:  2 miles + lifting
Day 3: 8-15-12:  6.25 miles through downtown MPLS
Day 4: 8-16-12:  2 miles + lifting
Day 5: 8-17-12:  10 miles, Cedar Lake & Theodore Wirth
Day 6: 8-18-12:  4.5 miles, 7 min/mile treadmill
Day 7: 8-19-12:  5 miles, 7 min/mile treadmill (Day after lots of drinking at Shamrock's for a fundraiser)
Day 8: 8-20-12:  5 miles.  2 1600m sprints.  (A lot more difficult that the previous 3 days)

and that's where I am so far!  More (hopefully) to come!
