Yes! This is good. Whenever I run for chocolate I think of you because I only found the Hot Chocolate race series through your running it so it comes full circle. Purple shirts are the best.I got my official race shirt on Saturday and it was purple. I thought of you. Then I wore it to my race. And thought of you. Just wanted to share.

I also forgot to mention, I did 101 miles in October! I've never done 100+ miles in a month. I remember when I thought getting 50 in a month was tough but look at all those miles Coach @DopeyBadger has me running. There should be even more next month.
Wooo! Lots of running all around.I had over 100 in October too. I think that's only the second month I've ever been over 100.
So I ran around 40 times to make my 4 miles.
I told DopeyBadger when he was making my plan for Dopey that I preferred 5 days a week but that I was most focused on finishing the Dopey Challenge in the upright position and would do 6 days a week if that's what it took. So six days a week it is. It gets me up another 3-10 miles each week depending on my schedule.A solid week, if a few physical hiccups, that you pushed through. What prompted the move to 6-days a week?
Thanks! To be fair I didn't have to drive to the gym. Plus I had music which is super rare for me except during the daylight hours or on race days so it made it bearable.I admire your determination to get this one done. Between the dilated eyes and having to run FORTY laps, I'd have been sorely tempted to abbreviate.
It was bad but the laps were so short that I actually lost count a few times. It wasn't as bad as I imagine those 1 mi marathon courses are that you have to run around 26 times. 1 mile is long enough that you feel your joy dying inside.40 laps?!? UGH. Well done on getting that accomplished.
Also, the remark about the bird looking smug was great! Excellent training week.
Also guys, I'm away later this week which is exciting but it means the rain last night may have blown one of my only chances to get all my runs in this week. Do you think it's socially acceptable to put on running clothes and jog around an airport? I'm guessing no.
I mean, I ran into the school I was voting at yesterday and continued to jog in place as I checked in and voted. The police had a good laugh and everyone probably thought I was super weird... I had tried to time it so that my run ENDED at the school then my cool down would be the walk home but... I was too fast.
Thanks! I couldn't either. It's way easier to run further when "the plan" tells you to. I figure I have to train even on vacation because I paid a ton of money for the race and I have to be ready. Also, because I don't want to disappoint @DopeyBadger. He made me a wonderful plan and he'll be at Marathon Weekend so I feel like I have to give it my all.Your training is going so well! I can’t imagine ever hitting the 100 mile month mark!
Also, good job getting in your runs with the travel - that isn’t easy!

So I did not run through the airport. I sadly did not run to vote because I'm not nearly as dedicated as @xjillianpaige but I did get the two weekend runs in around travel so that should count for something. I'll probably write up my report tomorrow because I don't have the Garmin app on my phone and forgot to sync it to the computer before I left for work so I don't remember my paces except for Saturday = Too Fast, Sunday = Weirdly Slow.
