Day #31 – Results of 1 More Mile
Today I made it all the way through the challenge! I’m very tired, so today’s update is going to be short. I’ll have more of a detailed description of today’s run in the next day or so. I don’t know what the donations made at Camp Sunshine today were, but thanks to the online donations [...]

Day #30 – Only 1 Day Left
Today’s update will be pretty short. I needed 30 miles today (preferably 30.52) so I decided to go out with each run intending to run 10 miles and then trick myself into running more. That worked great for the first run (12.8 miles) and on the second run had almost convinced myself to just do [...]

Day #28 – Definitely Tough Now
My achilles has definitely gotten better since last week, so even though today it was bugging me it’s still not as bad as it was. Hopefully it doesn’t get that bad again…there’s only 3 days left and I can let it heal properly! I ran twice today, a bit over 13 starting at noon, followed [...]

Day #26 – Lake Winds
Today can be easily summed up: WAY COLDER THAN I EXPECTED. Wow. I knew it was windy, and I knew that my thermometer likes to lie to me, but I figured, “Hey, it says 80, that means it’s probably about 50 degrees out, even with the wind it shouldn’t be too bad.” Yeah, famous last [...]

Day #25 – Setting New PRs
The original plan for today was to head out to Camp Sunshine and to scout out the course. Waking up to temperatures that were just above freezing and rain didn’t really make me want to drive an extra hour to run, so I decided to run at home and get it all done at once. [...]

Day #24 – Fixing the Achilles
This morning, I got my achilles taped by Julia Kirtland before the first half of my run at Bradbury Mountain. I’ve never done anything like that before (normally I just stop running and rest) so I had no idea how well it would work. For the first 3½ miles, my achilles felt fine and didn’t [...]

Day #23 – Routes for Day 31
Today I took a trip out to Camp Sunshine where I got driven around the local roads near there to show off some possible routes for next week’s final run. The first half of today’s mileage was split into 3 different parts. The first was investigating the option of getting onto a nearby trail system [...]

Day #22 – Back Cove and Blisters
Today was a good day company wise. Nathan joined me for the first 75 minutes, and as we got back to the cars Christine and Bob were just starting their run so they waited for me to refill my water bottle and then ran a few miles with me until I had to turn back [...]
