To say it has "been a while" since my last post would be an understatement. But, I'm happy to say, I've been so busy running so many miles that I just forgot all about almost everything else. Here's the scoop on my progress since April of '07.
I am now stronger than ever. Period. I've ramped up my weekly mileage from 25 to 40 miles a week, and I can easily see myself going farther this summer. My goal is now 50 miles a week. All I need for that to happen is a job so I can afford to keep buying shoes every couple of months!
I've been experimenting with my diet a bit. Lots and lots of carbs and even more water. I've been finding also that eating more is working much better for me, so I will continue to do that as long as it works.
Each run the past month has made me feel nearly invincible. I've run in new places, including up steep mountain tops, the appalachian trail, and 2 am downtown running adventures with my trusty new headlamp. *I love you, petzyl!*
I owe a lot of my success to my garmin, for the simple fact that it accurately tracks my mileage on each run. This device has allowed me a ton of freedom and I feel that piece of mind has helped me mentally.
On a more important note, I will be going back to school in a couple of weeks to get my teaching certification for physical education. If you would have told me a year ago that I was going to be doing all of this, I would have told you you were crazy!
So overall, I've been running very strong, and long, which is my goal overall!
