Three Things Thursday

1. During a sponteneous 3-ish mile run a couple weeks ago while on vacation, I hit the 1,000 miles run for the year. I started tracking miles mid-January and am still pretty shocked by the number. I became more laxed in updating my spreadsheet after the marathon was over, and I didn't start DailyMile until later in the year. I was happy I took the time to get the Garmin data into my spreadsheet to see the progress!

2. I've been lacking motivation lately. I still love the get out there and run (especially on the weekends) but it's been hard to get out there early in the morning on weekdays when it's still pitch black out. If I wait until it's light out, I love it, but that is often difficult scheduling wise. Guess, I'll figure it out soon, because...

3. Marathon #2 is confirmed:

  13. Ahhh I'm jealous ;) I REALLY wanted to hit the 1,000 mile mark this year but my injury definitely derailed that plan as I have 177 miles to go in only 6 weeks :( I'll definitely hit 900 though!

    YAY for your second marathon! I'm 95% sure I'm doing my second one on May 29, 2011. Shhhh don't tell anyone yet ;)

  18. Nice work, Abbi. I know what you mean about the early mornings in the cold dark. I've found a new "not-quite-love-but-not-hating-it-as-much" feeling for my treadmill in the not-as-cold-as-outside garage...

    Spring can't be too far off...
