    @HealthyFocused715‌ I guess in that case, I should picture myself crossing the line in 2.5 hours :) Still, if I don't put in a few hundred more miles of training runs before the race, visualization might not get me too far.

    Solid mid-distance run this evening.

    3/1 - 17 miles
    3/3 - 5 miles
    3/4 - 8 miles

    Total: 30 miles
    Goal: 180 miles
    Remaining: 150 miles

    Wait until you start naming them.... :)
    Ha - I thought I was the only one to do this and I would never admit to it! But then they have to have names so you can track the mileage on each pair, right?

    Lol - so far I managed to track the mileage just fine by calling them "Saucony ProGrid Paramount 2" or "Icebug ENLIGHT-L RB9X", but I guess "James" or "Susy" would roll
    off the tongue a little more easily :p

    Related to tracking mileages: is anyone using a "Milestone Pod"?
    I recently heard about those. I don't really need a clip-on gadget to keep track of mileage (especially not since it can only do that for a single pair of shoes), but apparently it also gives you statistics on running form things like cadence and how much front/midfoot/heel strike you do.

    March 1 - 5K - 3rd place in my age group. Not my best time, but happy with it! 29:07
    March 2- rest
    March 3- 5.05 miles and strength training
    March 4 - 5.09 miles
    March 5 - 5.13 miles

    65 with 100% humidity. Have to get used to this humidity again. It’s back and will be here through October. New shoes were great! I didn't realize that my old ones were getting so worn.

    The moon this morning, at 4:30. Strange... it was a beautiful, clear sky but my phone turned it into a Monet painting.

    Lol - good idea. I took a marker and wrote a big O inside the old shoes so I would know those are the old ones, in case later I get them mixed up. So those old ones will be known as Obert. And my new ones... IDK yet.

    3/2 = 5.09 miles
    3/3 = 3.11 miles
    3/4 = 3.27 miles
    3/5 = Weights and x train
    ________________
    Total = 11.47 miles
    8.53 miles until goal

    Giving myself a running break today. Less of a desire and more of a necessity thing. Cannot wait for the next three days. They are forecast to be beautiful.

    3/1 - rest (injury related)
    3/2 - 3 miles
    3/3 - rest
    3/4 - 2 miles

    A couple miles on the treadmill last night, and three more scheduled today. Weather looks like running outside might be feasible next week (50 degrees?!) here in Wisconsin, but the temp this morning has yet to get above zero, so I'm still stuck inside for today. Thinking warm thoughts!

    Do we have to post cycling miles too now? I thought this was a running challenge. I'm confused.

    No, you don't have to post any other activities, but you may. I think it's nice to see what other ways people stay active on their non-running days.
