30 and 100

Since I am not currently training for an event I decided to run a 30 mile week and reach 100 miles this month. I need a goal- a reason for putting my running shoes on everyday! In January, February and March I had 100 mile months and it felt great logging all of those miles. I keep track at mapmyrun.com and I love, love, love entering my runs and seeing my progress! It is very satisfying!

Yesterday, I split my 6 mile run up. I ventured out around 8 a.m. and ran 3. Then, I ran my son to an appointment and accomplished the last 3 at a local park with a track around it. My second set was scorching hot! Knowing that I would be out there for less than 30 minutes allowed me to just get it done.

Today I did a full 6 around 9:30 and again it was hot. After the first 2 miles I knew that I would get the entire run accomplished. I was feeling good and had plenty of water to keep myself hydrated. I usually don't gel for a 6 mile run, but I decided that it couldn't hurt. My music was keeping me entertained and thankfully I was in the groove. I just love when that happens!

At this point I have 12 miles down and 18 to go!
