MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 19 DAYS
Yes...The "Winds Of Change" were a blowing as a strong cold front pushed through the area while I attempted my 19th consecutive Training Run of 13.1 Miles on the Santa Fe Trail this morning. I had to advance "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" through a mercury reading of 35 Degrees per my Jeep Wrangler dashboard during today's run.
I could see the advancing cold front and low lying snowstorm clouds quickly approaching from the North, as I made my way from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado running straight into a brisk 20+ MPH headwind. Wow...What a difference a day makes with yesterday's temperatures peaking out at about 70 degrees! Even though at the start of my run it was 35 Degrees along with a cold windchill factor, I really did have a solid run today. I got to enjoy seeing some really big snow flakes floating around the Palmer Lake Loop as well as a spectacular view of the low lying clouds delicately covering all of the Front Range mountain tops in the immediate area. Oddly enough, I think I really enjoyed today's cold temperatures...It helped keep the swelling down in my extremities from running 254 Miles in 19 Days!!!
Wildlife Report:
Phew...No woodland creatures encountered on my morning run. They are all in hibernation mode due to today's approaching snowstorm!
Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...Yep he's hibernating too!
Celestial Report:
Wind...Wind...Wind! Finally some Snow/Precipitation after 45+ days of drought!!!
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 19 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 254 Miles (13.38 Miles X 19 Days = 254.22 Miles) and have burned approximately 29,393 Calories!
Due to a busy schedule...I will have to say goodbye to the light of day and usher in another nighttime run if I want to keep my "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" stretch alive and kicking. Per The Weather Channel, Friday night's low is suppose to drop to 13 Degrees so I am expecting it is going to be quite crisp on the Santa Fe Trail as I attempt my "20th" 13.1 Mile Training Run of my challenge. One thing is for sure...It is going to be Fun...Fun...Fun!

My legs, knees, and feet all performed above average while running through the strong North headwinds I encountered on today's run. They all earned a "☑️ +" for effort!
