Day 351, 14 To Go

December 17, 2013

Oh yeah!  One week until Christmas Eve and only 14 runs to go!  Yayyyyyy!  I think I am happier about the 14 runs than the arrival of Christmas.  However, as much as I may or may not be looking forward to Christmas, Honey makes up for any lacking of excitement on my part.  She has already begun the begging to open some of her presents early.  I offered a deal where she would perform certain wifely functions for the honor of opening up one of her presents early.  I believe she may be considering it.  Christmas may come early for me!

Now that I have thoroughly embarrassed Honey, I can get to the fun part of my blog.  I am going to give you a few more rave runs (yes, I am stealing these runs from Runner's World which shows a new rave run every month in their magazine) to enjoy.  You know what, let's look at my numbers first:

Time: 30:00

Distance: 3.34 miles

Pace: 8:58/m

Max Pace: 7:31/m

Calories: 326

Avg HR: 127

Max HR: 135

Not much to talk about on this run.  I am going through the motions at this point.  That's not to say that I am not paying attention to my form or my cadence or any of the other important things to think about when I run, I am just kind of getting through it any way I can.  Ok, let's take a look at something beautiful!

Livingston, Montana

 This run will take you to 5,600 feet above sea level, so you had better take it easy or you'll pass out from oxygen deprivation!  No worries though, because when you wake up, you'll be greeted by scenic views of wildflowers and mountains!

Patagonia Region, Chile

We take our first trip outside the US to Chile!  Look at those mountains in the distance.  The thing that has always struck me when I go outside the country is that not only are the people and language foreign, but the landscape is too.  That is a good thing.  Variety is the spice of life!!

Santa Barbara, California

This run takes you through the University of California and along the coastline.  You'll be greeted by beautiful views and beautiful coeds all at the same time!

That's all for today.  Happy Holidays everyone!

Run for Life!!
