MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 18 DAYS
The strong Colorado winds "Were Whistling Through The Willows" this morning as I attempted my 18th consecutive Training Run of 13.1 Miles on the Santa Fe Trail running from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado. I easily advanced "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" yet one more day but had to battle very strong crosswinds on the Santa Fe Trail throughout the entire course of my training run.
Breakfast was served immediately as soon as I set foot on the Santa Fe Trail as strong wind gusts hurled big clouds of dust and dirt directly at my face and mouth. The Santa Fe Trail dust and dirt needs a little more salt because it did not taste very good as each new wind gust pummeled me flying trail debris from every direction. The calm before the storm is now over with as these strong winds are now proceeding a cold front which is going to drop tomorrow's high temperatures into the mid 40's with a chance of SNOW per the Weather Channel! Even though today's run was quite windy, the outside temperature as registered by my Jeep Wrangler showed the mercury climbing to 70 Degrees. With this approaching cold front, tomorrow's run is going to be a bit more challenging with colder temperatures, precipitation, and stronger winds blowing around Palmer Lake.
Wildlife Report:
Phew...No woodland creatures encountered on my morning run. They all got blown back into the woods by today's strong winds!
Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...He's hunkering down due to the approaching cold front!
Celestial Report:
Sun...Clouds...and Strong Winds. Monument and Palmer Lake just would not be the same without them!
Bio Report:
Here is how my Bio Report currently reads (1= Good, 10 = Bad)
Feet Rank = 1 (Drop From 2)
Knees Rank = 1 (Drop From 2)
Legs Rank = 1 (Drop From 2)
Back Rank = 1
Here's The Skinny:
In the last 18 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 240 Miles (13.38 Miles X 18 Days = 240.84 Miles) and have burned approximately 27,846 Calories!
Tomorrow's run should be a lot of fun...I now have to battle the outside elements along with 19 Days of running 13.1 Mile distance training runs!
Have A Nice Half-Marathon™

I am still running strong despite 18 consecutive days of taking a pounding on the Santa Fe Trail.
