One week, 3 cities, 20 miles...

I am the winner of the amazing 20 mile challenge race!

I know it's not a lot of miles for those hardcore runners out there, but it was a pretty rare week where I ran all five weekdays. Now, I've got my group run Saturday, and we're planning on a 10 mile race on Sunday if it's not too hot. So, that'll be seven straight days. Monday will be nice!

Midweek Challenge Update

Just a quick update to the 20 Mile Challenge. It's Wednesday, and I have 13 miles out of the way. Looking good for a successful week!

Today's run was a nice easy 3 miler to let my legs recover. They were complaining last night about the increased mileage, so I tried to appease them today. They also demanded ice cream later tonight, and I told them I'd see what I could do.

20 Mile Challenge

My lovely wife proposed a challenge this week: 20 miles of daily runs before Saturday. I've not been great about sticking to the distances on my training schedule so far. Maybe this will give me some incentive to get those longer daily runs in.

So far, so good. I ran 5 miles before work today. 15 to go!
