Day 22...Rocky Mountain High

MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 22 DAYS

This afternoon I successfully completed my 22nd consecutive Training Run of 13.1 Miles on the Santa Fe Trail running from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado.  "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" takes a step forward as I set another personal training run record on a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon here in Colorado.

"Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver was the song that I was singing today on the Santa Fe Trail because after running 22 consecutive days of 13.1 Mile Training Runs my metabolism is really starting to hum.  I am absolutely starting to feel a very intense runner's high or in my case a Rocky Mountain High as my cumulative miles ran over the course of my 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge continue to increase.  I have also reached a point where there is some really serious body sculpting going on all around my midsection from all of my training.  I am now burning so many calories that I have opened up the diet floodgates allowing myself to eat everything in sight in order to satisfy my insatiable appetite.


Wildlife Report:
No woodland creatures encountered on my afternoon run...Sunday was their day of rest!

Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...but I Believe!

Celestial Report:
Another sunny warm day...Not sure how much longer this beautiful weather is going to last!

Bio Report:
Here is how my Bio Report currently reads (1= Good, 10 = Bad)
Feet Rank = 1
Knees Rank = 1
Legs Rank = 1
Back Rank = 1



My body is holding up just fine!

Here's The Skinny:
In the last 22 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 294 Miles (13.38 Miles X 22 Days = 294.36 Miles) and have burned approximately 34,034 Calories!  Bring on that Thanksgiving Bird!

When I attempt to complete my 23rd consecutive 13.1 Mile Training Run it is going to have to be another nighttime run due to a very busy Monday schedule...Oh joy!

Happy Running Trails To You™
