100 miles of training done!

According to Daily Mile I have completed 100 miles of running since starting to train for my marathon!!!!!  My 2011 miles are actually higher but since starting dailymile at the start of my training, its 100.  My excel spreadsheet shows me at 97 but I round down on that so for example 3.4 miles on dailymile is just 3 on my excel sheet.  So yay for me!!!


I did 5 miles today.  It was slow but I got it done.  The humidity was so awful and I thought it was going to pour rain at any time (it did 5 minutes after I got back to my apartment).  I almost stopped at 4 miles right before a big hill but I pushed myself to finish what I had planned.  So yay for me!

I got up at 8am this morning and was actually already dressed to go running (yes, for motivation, I sleep in my running clothes so I am more likely to run when I get up) but did I go?  No, my hair looked fine and I knew if I went running, I'd have to shower and do my hair again.  And I couldn't be bothered.  But after my errands at 2pm it was way too hot to go running.  So I took a nap and ran at 7pm.  I wonder what my time would have been if I had just run in the morning when it was nicer out.  I like running in the evening though.  Live and learn, I'll eventually figure it out. 

morning or night?
