MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 30 DAYS
Wow...I did it! Today I went on my 30th consecutive 13.1 Mile Training Run and hit the 400 Mile Milestone right on the nose...well maybe one mile over the milestone mark! It was a sunny, chilly, and very windy final training run when I hopped on the Santa Fe Trail running from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado this morning. "My Personal Training Run Challenge of seeing how many 13.1 Mile Training Runs I can run consecutively" vision quest continued as I added one more training run of 13.1 Miles to my streak, officially hitting my Goal of 30 training runs in a row. I really can not believe that I got this far into my 30-Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge because after completing my first week of training runs, I really felt like my body was already spent especially when my feet and knees started to ache at night. The "Good News" is that I stuck with my 30-Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge and ran right through the pain until it cleared up all on it's own.
Looking back at the last 30 Days/30 Runs, I have really put myself in a very good position for when I run the 24-Hours At Palmer Lake Fun Run and the Salt Flats 100 Mile Endurance Run in April 2017. I already dropped 15 pounds through diet and exercise prior to running my 30-Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge, and these additional 400 Miles I have run during my challenge have truly sculpted my body in ways I did not think were possible at my age. I am now thinner and more cut than I was in my mid/late 20's! The "Bad News" now is that I will have to go out and buy all new clothing because everything I wear today is super baggy on me.
Wildlife Report:
No woodland creatures sighted on my morning run!
Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...but "The Man, The Myth, The Legend" is out there somewhere!
Celestial Report:
Sunny, Chilly, and Windy! In other words...A great day to go on a Training Run!
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
Here's The Skinny:
In the last 30 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 401 Miles (13.38 Miles X 30 Days = 401.40 Miles) and have burned approximately 46,410 Calories!
All I can say now after 30 Days of consecutively running 13.1 Mile Training Runs on the Santa Fe Trail running from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado is Mission Accomplished...or Is It???
Have A Nice Trail Run™

I am really flabbergasted that my Legs, Knees, and Feet all feel better now then they did during the first week of my 30-Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge.
In the last 30 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 401 Miles (13.38 Miles X 30 Days = 401.40 Miles) and have burned approximately 46,410 Calories!
