From Tumblr to Twitter to Facebook

So, I have this running addiction. Healthy or not, it is what I do every day. It has been what I have been doing every day for the past 110 days. That whole time I have been well. Today I am sick. Not sick of running, but sick in general. Earl Grey hot tea with honey sick. I am debating wether I run or not today. Why even question it? Well, I am trying for a clean 120 days straight of runs. Not sure yet. If I do later, you wont know about it cause the wife would kill me. if I post something about 120 days straight later in the month, you’ll know what I ended up doing later today.

This is the Legacy Park Loop path that I typically hit. The night was beautiful due to the clear skies and full moon. I don’t know why Twitter isn’t populating this posted content?

Running in 2011

Another year is almost closed out. This year marks the most miles I have ever covered by foot, by sea or by pedal. Prior to this year, the most miles I had covered in a year was around 1992 when I was cycling significant distances. This year marks the first for consistently running. It wasn’t without injury, but I am happy to report nothing serious/major. This past year I was lucky enough to run next to both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, at least 10 different states and all kinds of time zones. I would say I had a break through in September when I stopped drinking for a year and concentrated on running instead. That really amped up my miles. All-in-all, a great year. I am looking forward to running just as hard for 2012 while we still have a planet to run on. As always, my main purpose for running is to be prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse at the end of 2012. See you all next year.
