Run 100 miles before May 1st, 2012 (read all 20 entries…)
46 down, 54 to go

Another 3 miles, blisters popped again just as my lungs and legs were hitting a rhythm. But overall it was an okay run. Forced myself to keep up a 10 minute mile pace because my feet hurt just as bad no matter how fast I ran, and the faster I went the sooner my socks and shoes could come off!

A sockless, late 2 miles. Went to vote in the special election, so I didn’t get to the gym until late, then realized I’d forgotten my socks. So I put 2 in before I felt the blisters form and pop, then called it quits and did some stretching before going home to wash up and put peroxide on the open skin.

There are socks in my bag today. I made sure of it.

41 down, 59 to go

Really trying to hit the halfway point this week. The run was lovely, except that I had the hiccups for the first mile! Owie!

But one of the ladies at the gym showed me how to get the closed captioning on the TVs! I actually know what they’re saying on the news now!
