Day 369 -- Push up Day 3

• 3.42 miles
• 6:46/mile pace
• 1820
• S. San Francisco, CA
• Pretty fired up after the end of my golf binge (another 36 holes today, too many of which were bad), felt like running hard, which I did.  
• 50 push ups -- 1 set before run, 1 set after...I think the pre-run push ups got me into the run hard mode, plus the poor golf helped.   Did these push ups in the hall outside my hotel room...not even sure why, just felt like it.

Day 366 -- Push up Day 1

• 2.15 miles
• 8:10/mile pace
• 2014
• Pleasanton, CA
• Happy Birthday to me!   I'm a man!, I'm 40!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjF93E4LjlA
• 38 more holes of golf today, scored well for 1st 18, horribly for second and then bogied the final 2, whatever, I suck.
• Glad to have made it 1 year officially, many times I wasn't sure, many more times I thought of course I would, but in reality I never knew, until today, now I know...so, time for a new streak...and to continue this one for at least a few more days.
• Did 25 push-ups today, 1 set, nothing noteworthy as they won't be until after I finish my golf binge.

Day 365

• 3.74 miles
• 7:57/mile pace
• 1931
• Pleasanton, CA
• One "standard" year in the books, er, uh, on this blog?   Anyway, done!   Sort of.   I have to log another to complete the real year, since it was a leap year...and then maybe I'll keep going? 
• Played 36 holes of golf before this run, felt good considering.  I suck at golf. 

Day 269

• 5 miles
• 7:49/mile pace
• 1305
• Arrowhead CC
• Treadmill -- I like watching golf.  
• 378 feet climbed
• 700 calories burned, though I'm not really sure how that is calculated since no stats specific to me were input/considered

Day 134

• 5 miles
• 8:03 pace
• 0615
• From/To Home
• Talked myself out of pushing the pace this morning -- apparently I'm not even above making up reasons to run slow...I used the fact that i was going to be playing golf later to justify not getting to tired during the run.   Golf.  Seriously.   I suck.  Need to schedule that running session with J.E.C. sooner rather than later.  

Day 126

• 5 miles
• 7:12/mi pace
• 0740
• From/To home
• Pushed the pace today, had shortness of breath for pretty much the whole run...had a few moments where I felt relaxed and gliding at a good pace, but mostly just a struggle to keep up a pace I felt acceptable.   Tried to really push the last mile, ran out of gas resulting in a 6:39 mile -- not bad, but was hoping for better.   Can't believe I did an entire marathon at a faster pace than this and I've set a goal to do even better?  Perhaps I am really old now, depressing.   Need to start on the strength stuff and keep stacking the mileage before I give up I guess.   Also need to play more golf, not to help me run, but because I now suck and that isn't acceptable.  

Day 121

• 2.43 miles
• 8:30/mile
• 0550
• From/To Home
• Playing golf with Casey Jones at Blackstone CC this morning, so wanted to warm up, but not get tired...guess I accomplished that while extending The Streak.  Becca asked today how consumed I am by The Streak -- not sure, I don't think about it too much, but definitely every day...I'll have to evaluate that over the next fews weeks.  

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...
