This morning, my intention was to run 8 miles. That didn't happen.
Instead, I did 3.
I got a late start, and with a gazillion things to get done this morning before we leave for the Keys this afternoon, I just felt like I didn't have the time to run longer. I feel bad because I have really been shorting myself on long runs, and haven't run anything longer than 7 miles in a long time. This wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have a HM on Halloween.
I'm getting the kind of weekly mileage in that I normally would for a half, but almost all of my runs are short. So, I know I'm shorting myself on that training, but what can I say? Life has simply been too busy the past few weeks, and when I'm pressed for time, 30 minutes sure seems more economical that 80 minutes out of my day.
Anyway, I got the run done, so at least the streak continues on. Today marks day 90! Just 10 more days until I reach the 100 milestone.
Alrighty, that's all the time I have for today because I still have to finish some packing and clean the house before Jerry and Norah get home at lunch. And then we're off! It's funny because I think we are packing more stuff for 2 days of camping than we did when we went to MN for 3 weeks last spring! We may need a U-Haul to cart it all down to the Keys.
Enjoy your weekends! I'm gonna spend mine parked in a camping chair on the beach with a beer. Norah can entertain herself. Right?

Norah can entertain herself - that's what leaches are made for.
Um, leashes - not leaches. Although that may solve a problem too...
Have fun camping!!!
Have fun camping!
Could you do 100 minutes of running on day 100 to get in a long run? (bad influence over here)
but you are running every day. that counts for sumfin...
Sounds like a fun weekend,camping is always lots of stuff to pack for me before having a baby...I can't even imagine now! Enjoy!
Have an awesome weekend camping!
I just want to say I stumbled upon your blog from my google reader (love google reader)and have loved it ever since. I like your "life is first" approach to running. I am currently training for a HM and got injured (stress fracture) so my bike is my best friend these days. But its fun to check in and see the steak continue. You are a motivation for me to stay on track even if its not running....do something I can tell you now I am a master rower and biker. Not sure my HM will go well but if I had to row to Denver CO I probably could. Let the steak continue.
Have fun!
90 Days...Wow!
Mmmmmmmm beer.........
That's why I don't think I could do a streak... I definitely need my rest days in order to run any kind of distance. Good for you keeping the streak going!
Have a great trip to the keys.
90 days in a row!!! That is awesome. Keep it up!!
Your weekend sounds great!
Have fun camping!
Hope you had fun! Don't worry too much about the half, you have plenty of time to get some longer runs in!
Congrats on 90!
