Summertime Streaking

For the third year in a row, I'm participating in the Runner's World Streak Challenge.  What the challenge entails is running everyday (a minimum of 1 mile) between Memorial Day and Independence Day...  This year it's "41 Days of Awesome".

Today was day number 7.  Totals so far...  18.81 miles (3:02:54)...  2,733 calories burned.

I'm feeling good, but my schedule for the next two weeks will make this even more of a challenge.  Hopefully, this will set me up for my marathon training that begins on June 21st.

Has it really been that long??

Wow, it's been almost a year since I last posted to the blog.  I can't believe that it's been that long.  So what were my final totals for 2014?  Well...

961.54 miles run
156 hours, 35 minutes, and 18 seconds (6.5 days)
18,829 feet of elevation gained (3 times the height of Mt Washington in New Hampshire)
and 134,050 calories burned.

Also, a total of 20 races to include 2 marathons (Walt Disney World & Boston), along with 3 half-marathons.

This year doesn't seem to be shaping up the same way, but we're not quite halfway done, and I've got some big plans ahead.

Stay tuned!
