Day 34...I Almost Tapped Out

MY TRAINING RUN RECORD NOW STANDS AT 34 DAYS

 Strideopolis Website
Day 34...Last night I was one step away from "Tapping Out" of my 30 Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge which now has been extended by 4 additional days!  When I stepped on the Santa Fe Trail it was 23 Degrees per my Jeep Wrangler dashboard and the Santa Fe Trail was covered in about 1/2 inch of freshly fallen snow.

The air felt quite crisp as I made my way from Monument, Colorado to Palmer Lake, Colorado in the darkness of the night.  In order to protect myself from the stinging wind chills, I had to alter my 30 Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge course a bit by staying within the friendly confines of the Pine Trees that run along the Santa Fe Trail.  I still put in the same mileage as the original training run course but the Pine Trees made my run a little more hospitable during my 13.1 Mile scamper.  With some bitter cold air moving into the Monument Area over the next few days per The Weather Channel, I am not sure how much longer I will be able to extend my challenge.  Only Mother Nature knows.


Wildlife Report:
No woodland creatures sighted on my moonlight run...They where all covered in snow!

Sasquatch Report:
No run-ins with Sasquatch...Ditto...He was covered in snow too!

Celestial Report:
Brr...Brr...Brr!  Cold and Snowy!

Bio Report:
Here is how my Bio Report currently reads (1= Good, 10 = Bad)
Feet Rank = 1
Knees Rank = 3
Legs Rank = 1
Fatigue Rank = 6

My Fatigue factor is starting to SPIKE!!!

Here's The Skinny:
In the last 34 Days I have now run a Grand Total of 454 Miles (13.38 Miles X 34 Days = 454.92 Miles) and have burned approximately 52,598 Calories!

Going forward...Each additional 13.1 Mile Training Run is going to be considered a lucky Bonus Day extension of my 30-Day 13.1 Mile Training Run Challenge.

Have A Nice Trail Run™
