7 for Day 70!
Today marks 70 days in a row running. 70 days!! That's CRAZY. So I celebrated with a 7-miler. Okay, not really, that was just what was on my training schedule, but still, it was cool. 7 Miles on Day 70!
The last week or so has really been an eye opener as far as running is concerned. I used to think that you had to properly fuel your body, and hydrate it, and get the proper amount of sleep, and rest between runs. Since I was traveling last week at a conference, I neither properly fueled my body, properly hydrated it, slept or rested between runs. I was go, go, go, living on diet coke and ... diet coke. And while the runs were not the BEST runs I've ever had, they weren't the worst, and certainly I was able to get through them. And to even run while sleep deprived and in heat and humidity, I managed to impress myself!
So, today was day 70. I ran 7 miles. Not that bad at all. The weather here was beautiful. High 60s/low 70s and low humidity. Most of my route was shady with a wonderful breeze. I kept pretty steady with 10:00-minute miles. Again, this will be interesting to watch since I am hoping to continue running every day and combine that with training for a half marathon in October. Still no goals for running everyday, I just want to keep going as long as I can. (Okay, don't tell anyone but secretly, it would be REALLY cool to hit day 100!)

Great job doing that many days in a row... I'm sure you'll hit and surpass 100!
So 7 miles had you running for over an hour?

Yes, Phil, 7 miles took me almost exactly 70 minutes. BTW, 60 minutes or a 10k, is a great next goal after you complete Couch to 5K. Many people look at "The One Hour Runner" next.

I'm glad I was able to run with you a couple times during your streak. It's the closest I'll ever come to doing it myself.
Good luck with the next 30 days. If you can run during IamLUG, I have no doubt you can run through anything.
