Day 56

• 2 miles
• Slow
• 0800
• From/To Home
• The Streak leaves no margin for rumbly tummies, wasn't bad, but wasn't exciting either.   Another one in the books...roughly 20 days until I reach Becca's mandate ("this better last at least 2 and a half months or something").

Day 55

• 5 miles
• Fastish (8:10/mile maybe)
• 2000
• From/To home
• Felt good, wore iShuffle, which always helps.  Tiny sinus concerns, hopefully just for today.

Day 54

• 3.67 miles
• Slow
• 0745
• From/To Home
• Felt OK, not fast, not short, not long...just a streak extender I suppose. 

Day 53

• 3.67 miles
• 8:10/mile pace
• 1715
• From/To Mom and Dad's house (flat route past Beth Jacob synagog)
• Felt pretty good, probably because I rested all day and ran later in the day -- sped up on the return, felt good about it....thought about Missoula Marathon....

Day 52

• 3.5 miles
• Slow (9+)
• 0630
• From Mom and Dad's house to Clifton and Briarcliff 
• Hilly.   IRON BOWL DAY

Day 51

• From/To Home
• After Chick-fil-A, before trip to Iron Bowl

Day 50

• 6.8 miles
• 8:50/mile  (1 hour)
• 0600
• From/To Home
• 50th Day on Thanksgiving, pretty cool...I'm Thankful for everything, cliche, but whatever.  Having issues  being able to finish runs without having G.I. concerns, hoping that passes soon.   

Day 49

• 2 miles
• Slow
• 0730
• From/To Home
• 7 weeks, not bad, but 50 days sounds better...we'll see if I get there.  Short runs are definitely now easier, but of course never easy. 

Day 48

• 4.2 miles
• Slow
• 0515
• From/To Home
• Feeling better still -- took it easy and had to cut a little short due to running late for golf with Lickert.   Forgot to put Case's diaper on last night, which had expected results...

Day 47

• 2 miles
• Slow
• 0700
• From/To home
• Nothing special, definitely feeling better running...thinking a lot about the Missoula marathon.

Day 46

• 5.3 miles
• Slow
• 1915
• From/To Home
• Sinuses felt bad when I woke up, didn't bother me during run, hopefully getting over it -- City said she got the go ahead to do Missoula Marathon, time to train up.

Day 45

Saturday November 19, 2011

• 2 miles
• Slow
• 1700
• From/To Home
• Pushed Case in the Burley, had a good time, didn't run hard, sinus issues seem to be returning.

Day 44

• 1.7 miles
• Slow
• 0800
• From/To Home
• Pushed Case in the Burley, he took a bungee cord with him so he could hook cars and so forth as we went by, he came close, but the best thing he could truly hook was a bush that I let him snag...I think he had fun, I did.  Getting up and going after a 1pm bedtime makes The Streak respectable.

Day 43

• 5+ miles (45 mins)
• Slow
• 0630
• Miami Beach, FLA
• South Beach is seriously insane....never seen such scantily clad women in my life that all seemed to actually be attractive, head spinning.   

Day 42

Wednesday November 16, 2011

• 1.7 miles
• Slowish
• 0341
• From/To home
• Early start due to 6:30am flight to Miami for SFL terminal opening -- started run at exact time of day Case was born :).    The Streak goes on....

Day 41

• 5 miles
• Slow
• 0630
• From/To home
• Saw super skinning fast runner girl again today, she was running the opposite direction from what I have seen her running before, must live close to our house, would like to meet her and set her up with Becca so they would be able to run together...seems unlikely that it will ever happen, is nice to see a familiar face out when running though.   Felt good today, not at all fast, but did come to the conclusion that health and 40 days of consequitive running result in me finally being able to halfway enjoy running, or at least tolerate it much better.  

Day 40

• 1.8 miles
• Slow
• 0810
• From/To Home
• Man, Noah spent some serious time on his Arc.   Wondering what I should give up for lent this year...hmmm....

Day 39

November 13, 2011

• 2 miles
• Slow
• From/To Home
• Felt fine

Day 38

November 12, 2011

• 5 miles
• Slow
• From/To Home
• Feeling better, finally.

Day 37

November 11, 2011

• 2.5 miles
• Slow
• From/To Home
• Veteran's day

Day 36

• 3 miles
• Slow
• 0715
• From/To Home
• Supposed to go a bit longer today, self directed, but didn't get out of bed and started soon enough so cut it short (still long for me lately).   Not as congested, but head felt like I was on brink of sinus headache the whole run....tried to pick up the pace ever so slightly, but didn't have much success.   Think I'm nearing 100% healthwise, which will be nice.

Day 35

• 1.7 miles
• Slow
• 0650
• From/To Home
• Wore gloves and Liverpool hat, thought of Seamus.  Definitely feeling better, close to 100%, wanting to start running for real, but scared to relapse...this may be the sickest I've been since 2000.  

Day 34

• 3 miles
• Slow
• 0630
• From/To Home
• Felt much better today, still congested, but had more energy...started thinking about doing real training, probably too soon to think that way, but can't seem to help it.   Still having sinus headache of short duration, makes me not want to run fast.   Longest run in weeks, which is pathetic.   Wishing i'd have named this blog "2k everyday" as that seems catchy, but then, no one sees it but me so I'll just call it that.

Day 33

• 1.7 miles
• Slow
• From/To home
• Thought of my cousin Kevin as I do on this day each year -- his birthday.   My closest relative in age and truly my favorite cousin to be with when I was growing up...everything he ever did was cool and no one has ever filled the room with happiness like he did, never once dorky, but always 100% happy.   Thinking of his great family today as well.  

Day 32

November 6, 2011

• 1.4 miles
• Slow
• From/to home
• Estimated distance, really hope gmaps-pedometer gets back to functioning properly as I do not like to estimate, though I know it's within .1 because I haven't ventured off loops/routes that I know yet.   Feeling better, not yet good, still pissed -- last day of 5 day Z-Pac that's supposed to make me feel better.

Day 31

November 5, 2011

• 2 miles
• Slow
• From to home
• Still not feeling well, but getting a little better.   Peg in town, which is very fun.   Guess this is a confirmed month, good for me, really looking forward to not feeling like crap. 

Day 30

November 4, 2011

• 1.5 miles
• Slow
• From/to Home
• Estimated distance, confirmed over 1 mile but can't remember the route so cannot calculate (confirmed means I went past a marker that I know to be 1 mile from home -- roundtrip)   Not feeling good yet.

Day 29

November 3, 2011

• 1.5 miles
• Slow
• From/to Home
• Estimated distance, confirmed over 1 mile but can't remember the route so cannot calculate (confirmed means I went past a marker that I know to be 1 mile from home -- roundtrip)   Went to Doctor, got Z-pac for sinus infection, look forward to it working.
