30 Day 5k

Drum roll please...
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
3. The oil face wash, Castor oil/olive oil/tea tree oil
4. I am not going to color my hair until December, it could get ugly!
5. Have a scoop of Chia everyday, more on this subject next week...
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!!
