The 300 mark has been annihilated!
Last Thursday my friend took Ethan for the day to play with her little one which left the day open for me. I have been in the kitchen non stop for about 2 or 3 weeks and had put cleaning on the back burner. A rarity in my world. So I deep cleaned all 3 bathrooms and hit the road. I was only planning on 6 miles, but the weather was so beautiful and "Miles from Nowhere" came on and I figured that with my road mileage and a trail thrown in I would have exactly 7.7 miles in, for the 7 years we have missed Nate and Bryan. It was a glorious run. Everything fell into place. However, I will give in to buying a can of mace, too many loose dogs and it is just a good idea.
So in one run I broke 300 miles!
Another big milestone Miss O and I ran the Pumpkin Fun Run 5k and raised food for the local food bank. I loved doing it with her. She wasn't 100% she has been fighting the bug that has gotten the rest of us, but she did it! I told her Sunday that I was sorry we ran it, I should have made her rest, and she looked at me with her big sick blue eyes and said "but it was fun, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it." Happy faces!
Total mileage for the week: 12.6
Total mileage for the year: 303.55
I also upped my circuit training with a Boot Camp DVD, holy cow! I was screaming in that one! I watched the Biggest Loser while I ironed Wednesday and followed it with the workout. The theme was a quote from Bob "Your fat is your fuel." So whilst I tortured myself with ridiculous amount of triceps things for lack of the term, I was yelling "My fat is my fuel." There isn't much left but trust me it could get me through a weekend in the woods :)
So on to this week, first of all, Happy 11/1/11! I have decided to take my friend Danny's idea from last month and do it this month, so for 30 days I plan on running a 5k. 30day5k! We'll see, I am going to be in Philipsburg this month, and you should see the calender I just filled out for the kids, crazy! I hope I can manage it... wouldn't it be cool to get to 400 miles by December? That's not all, I am in really experimental mood today, so I decided since I ordered all my stuff for it, here is my plan...
1. Run the 5k a Day
2. Do the NOPOO method, no shampoo for 30 days just baking soda and apple cider vinegar
6. Read Jane Eyre, I completely spaced my BBC reading challenge for the last 2 months!
I almost forgot my favorite goal accomplished this week! Eat some apple pie... Cheers until next week!!
