Ah come on, that's good for building mental toughness! (... says the girl who is working from her balcony today because SPRING)
Ha! Yeah, sure... but I did TEN MILES on a dreadmill. I think that proves my "mental toughness"
Definitely! I'm one of those people who actually don't mind the treadmill, but ten miles is my limit.
I don't think I've made it past 4.0 -

I don't think I've made it past 4.
Because I am fat and slow, my limit seems to be about 5 miles, or whatever I can actually accomplish in 2x30 minutes (because I go to the rec centre when I have to run indoors and the treadmills have time limits...).1 -

I like running in a time frame rather than mile targets, anyway. I think I perform better. My weeknight trail runs I pull off while my son is at soccer practice, so running against the clock keeps me cookin'!2 -

No run today, after much deep heart searching I am giving notice at work, which means I will lose access to the killer free gym we have here. Kind of bummed about it really. Use to like my job here, but sweeping changes in upper management have killed that. Thankfully I have portable skills and have found a new place.
So skipping my run to check out Planet Fitness which is real close to my house. The website says it is $10/month which seems reasonable to me for a 24/7 full gym with fitness classes and such.
After the Ultra, I hope to restart my anti-t-rex plan which means I will need weights and stuff that I do not have, nor have space for. $10/mo seems like a good deal for that.
I will know more when I walk in the doors and lay eyes on the place.9 -
6.7 hilly km this afternoon, putting my total at 14.1 km.
85.9 to go!3 -
My suitcase is scary full haha. Given the weather forecast for Saturday afternoon keeps changing I have running gear fit for -20 to about +5C. And 3 pairs of shoes LOL.8

Got another 5.31 miles in this morning. I find it so much harder to go longer distances when I'm home from university, I can't plot the distance as well in my head
Goal distance - 60 miles
Completed - 9.69 miles4 -
My goal is 80 miles.

A short run this morning on what was a cold but beautifully sunny day.
Then a walk to the hospital for more tests on my thyroid (we’re now on a wait and see no drugs regular blood tests regime with the hope it disappears yay!)
Took the bus home rather than walk as strictly speaking I was at work.
And this evening - my first trumpet lesson! I made a noise through the thing! It was even a tuneful noise at least once! The rest of the noises weren’t tuneful in the least. I now need to work out whether I can run and play at the same time6 -
I spoke too soon. Oncologist appointment tomorrow morning at 9am.19

Another 32 minute run today. I was up most of the night watching a horse with colic and really wasn’t feeling well, but I told myself I’d try and stop if I just couldn’t do it. About 3/4 of a mile in, I felt much better. Six months ago, I never would have been able to talk myself into running while feeling the way I did today. I almost don’t recognize myself!
April goal: 40 miles
Today: 2.3 miles
Total: 6.1 miles6 -
