Day 100

Start: 5:03am
Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 40:28 - 4 miles - 10:07

Thoughts: Woot! Made it to day 100. Another decent run after a false start. After 2 seconds RunKeeper announced that I had run 3.01 miles, so I had to restart my run. I believe I am closing in on the halfway point of my training, I'm thinking that this Sunday with be the end of week 15 out of 30 weeks. That's pretty exciting.

Day 099

Start: 5:09am
Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 30:38 - 3 miles - 10:12
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/68668187

Thoughts: Another mild winter morning and decent run. My weekly miles are getting up there and so far my knees are taking it. I'm starting to feel like this is possible, even though I'm still below the dreaded 20 miles per week (where my knees have given out in the past). The plan is to register for the marathon in March before the price increases as I will have been running 20+ miles per week for a good month by then.


Total Training Distance: 158.13 miles

Day 097

Start: 9:07am
Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 50:12 - 5 miles - 10:02
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/68378925

Thoughts: A good run. The sun was shining and the roads were nearly completely clear of ice. For a change I listened to an audiobook during the run. I think I will be okay running the marathon without a distraction, but I can only run the limited miles on the island so many times without starting to lose my mind. Listening to something is a good distraction from that and music is too likely to influence my pace.


Total Training Distance: 155.13 miles

Day 095

Start: 5:13am
Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 29:17 - 3 miles - 9:45
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/68085630

Thoughts: A decent morning and a decent run. To be truthful, I was thinking about code I was working on at work and the entire run flew by. I was surprised my pace was as slow as it was after the first mile, because I felt good, but I picked up my pace and ended with a decent one. My left knee was a little twingey.


Total Training Distance: 150.13 miles

Day 093

Start: 5:06am
Weather: Cool and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 39:32 - 4 miles - 9:53
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/67791520

Thoughts: An almost warm and mostly foggy morning made for a decent run. Luckily there was a bunch of rain the night before so the roads were mostly clear of snow and ice. The only exception was the dirt roads which for some reason are never sanded and are always hazardous. I nearly wasted my right ankle when turning on to my dirt road near the end of the run.
