1/4 of the way done! (With month 1)

As of last night, I've now run eight days in a row, officially putting me over 1/4 of the way complete with my January challenge.  Woowoo!

It's definitely been a challenging week+, with snowboarding and being sick thrown into the mix.  Sunday has probably been the hardest day so far just because after being up at the snow from 9-3:30, driving two hours back to Fresno and then another two and a half back to Santa Clara all I really wanted to do was fall face first onto my bed and snooze.  Follow that up with two days of 100+ temperatures and it really was not a fantastical start to running...

Regardless, I feel like I'm starting to get back into it a bit more.  My breathing is more controlled and not as much of a block, now I am hitting the point where my shins and calves are the new limiting factor.  I really feel like this thirty days is going to be defined by rotating through assorted body parts grumbling at me.  :P  

I'm going to keep an eye on distances and times over the next week but I think my goal will be to be doing consistent two mile runs at eleven minutes a mile.  Nothing super crazy for speed or length, which is good since I'm not giving my body proper time to really recover and build up new muscles.

(As an aside, this is also now officially the most posts I've written for one blog.  Rest in peace Bad Movie Thursdays, Happy Hour Quest, and Video Game Completion thingy [the last I want to get back to, but after finishing Zelda 1, Halo 4 came out :P ] )
