New running record set this week

Overall the posts have been slow and/or sporadic due to fatigue from the late nights, not the Olympics. It’s a blur even why I didn’t achieve much beyond the Gordon visit and a really killer Stars v. Checkers game.

Running at the gym or Y was one activity I managed not to compromise. Thanks to having a couple late mornings for attending work, I could pound out more miles on the treadmills. Plus I discovered the Y has a couple PreCors which are easier for me to maintain a steady cruising speed. The Matrix brand just gives wears me out for reasons I can’t explain.

So I achieved the year’s first 100 miles in record time, less than two months! I remain a day behind on maintaining the two miles/day average. I pulled it off last month but the cold weather destroyed my motivation. After Monday, I think the freezing trend has finally been defeated. Now if the construction people can fix all the flaws in those new commuter showers, I can walk from the gym to the Deuce (my new building) as a cool down and shave a few minutes off of grooming in a less crowded locker room.

Next milestones?

  • “Banking” enough miles to prevent the 2m/day average from sinking too much when I go to Vegas in May. I highly doubt I will get any practical exercise done.
  • Complete 200 miles before my 15th anniversary with Apple. No wait, it will put me at the HQ goal too.
  • Obviously 1700 miles.
