MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 25 DAYS
It was "Lights Out" on the Santa Fe Trail tonight when I ran from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado during my 25th consecutive 13.1 Mile Training Run. "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" odyssey continues as I get to advance my token to another record breaking running attempt on Thursday afternoon.
Yes it was "Lights Out" after the batteries in my headlamp began to go out shortly after I started my training run tonight. Instead of turning back, I just decided to turn my headlamp off to conserve whatever battery life it still had left and proceeded to run to Palmer Lake in the pitch black of the night! Wow...What an awesome experience being able to run down the Santa Fe Trail in complete darkness under one of the most perfect clear starry skies I have ever seen since I moved to Monument, Colorado. There were a thousand stars visible in the Colorado sky and not a single cloud in sight. I took a page out of Galileo's playbook and used the stars to help me navigate my way down the Santa Fe Trail during the course of my entire run. This is the first time in my entire amateur running career that I have ever went on a 13.1 Mile Trail Run without the aid of a headlamp! That was so much FUN I cannot wait to turn off my headlamp on my next nighttime run!
Wildlife Report:
No woodland creatures encountered on tonight's run...It was to dark to see anything!
Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...He blended in with the darkness of the Santa Fe Trail!
Celestial Report:
I was blessed by the Celestial Heavens tonight by being able to see such a breathe taking light show of bright stars in the clear Colorado sky. I give tonight's light show a 10 out of 10 STAR rating!!!
Bio Report:
Here is how my Bio Report currently reads (1= Good, 10 = Bad)
Feet Rank = 3
Knees Rank = 1
Legs Rank = 1
Back Rank = 1
Here's The Skinny:
In the last 25 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 334 Miles (13.38 Miles X 25 Days = 334.50 Miles) and have burned approximately 38,675 Calories!
Yahoo...When I attempt my 26th consecutive 13.1 Mile Training Run tomorrow afternoon it will be in the light of day and not the darkness of the night. Tomorrow's run will also make more room for that Thanksgiving Bird. This is Galileo signing off...Till next time.
Happy Running Trails To You™

My Legs, Knees, and Feet did a great job running down a pitch black trail absorbing all of the bumps and shocks the Santa Fe Trail had to offer!
