Day 12

This morning I came up to Gainesville and surprised my ALF people with cookies!  I love and miss you guys dearly!  I also got to hang out with my parents a bit and enjoyed some delicious local food: Reggae Shack and Tasty Buddha.  Oh man, do I miss Gainesville food.  I'm also hoping to hit up Bahn Thai and Marco's Pizza before the end of my trip.  But that's not what you are here for, dear reader.  You are here to read about my running progress.  After all that deliciousness and catching-up, I ran a trusty old 3.3-mile route through the heart of Haile Plantation.

Ah, and in case you were wondering when you'd start hearing about yoga, on my trip up this morning, I stopped in Orlando and bought an awesome new yoga mat for my home practice.  I'm pretty pumped about it.

Day 11

I got my mile in this morning!  Tomorrow I'm heading home to Gainesville for the weekend and I'm hoping to run with some friends on some familiar routes.  Fingers crossed for decent weather!

Day 10 - National Running Day!

Happy National Running Day, everyone!!  That's right, today is National Running Day and what does that mean?  Well...not much really.  But it is my 10th straight day of running and that's pretty exciting!  In honor of National Running Day, I decided to run a 5k (on the treadmill).  For those of you who aren't too terribly familiar with common race distances - or the metric system - that's about 3.1 miles.  Pretty rad, huh?

Day 7

Another day, another mile!  That makes one whole week of this challenge - pretty exciting, guys!  This week's total (running) mileage was about 11.5 miles.  That's almost a half marathon.  In a week.  Slowest. Nearly half. Marathon. Ever.

Day 6

Who just ran a 10-minute mile?  I did!!  That may not sound like a big deal to most, but I promise you, it's kind of a big deal to me.  Progress!
