The Little Train that DID!

These legs ran ONE HUNDRED MILES in January.
The most EVER for me in one month.
I beat my previous high water mark by 15 miles.
Running 39 miles in 2 days didn't hurt any.
Don't expect another triple digit showing in February.

Mols and I walked 28.5 miles in January. This is in addition to my running miles.
Had a good showing on the bike in January too. I haven't logged these kinda miles since I trained for my Half Ironman in 2006. It's been really good cross training.

My doughnut fix. Isn't fixed. While running my 12 miler today, I was on the trail that runs pretty close to Krispy Kreme. You could smell them making doughnuts. Mmm...If I would have had any money on me, or knew that I could beg in the parking lot, I would have been there in a heart beat.

To my run today...It was CRAPTASTIC! My new favorite word I stole from Sarah. I ran 12 miles and never really got in the groove. Ya know...just one of those days you have every so often. Good thing the weather was perfect and the sun was out and shining. BUT...Craptastic turned into Fantastic when I finished that last mile and hit One Zero Zero, baby!

  1. Oh man, that's my trail, too, and I've been tempted by Krispy Kreme more than once. It doesn't help that occasionally I park there at the tennis courts right near. Don't forget that on Saturday they usually pass out free glazed donuts while people are waiting to order. If you go when there's a crowd, you can get your freebee and then just slip out. I've never done it, but it's always in the back of my mind.
