And I am officially at 1800 miles today for 2011. Wohoooooooo! I did a celebratory dance this morning on the bough of the dreadmill. I'm a goof ,but hey, I was so excited. This next year my goal is 2200 miles or more. I know I can do it if I can keep healthy. I try to train smarter these days. I don't like to run my body into the ground anymore.   :)

Ran 7.75 and worked my legs in the weights. I hate leg day because it hurts so bad. SO BAD. I did the leg press where my friend Roy moved the weight up each set. First set was easy peasy 110 lbs. Next set was 130. The set after that was 190. OWIE! The next set was 250. Yes people, I leg pressed 250 lbs and I almost died. I only did 6 but I did it and I almost started crying afterwards. I am hobbling around now. Why do I abuse myself?

1800 miles yaaahoooooo!

2 miles in the pm

Yippeee! Lily dance! I can't really do the Lily dance, my legs are old and broken ... I walk around like an old lady these days ;-)

Congratulations Lily, what a great way to end the year, and I am sure you can make your goal next year ...

"train smarter, not harder" (this is a quote from a physiologist who worked at the Olympic training center in CA and worked with Deena Kastor -- it is one of her favorite quotes).

Wowza Bonnie, look at your miles Lady. See, you are SUPER WOMAN! :)

From Bonnie on Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 14:04:33 from 64.119.33.134

I don't feel much like super anything right now ... but this is the last week of hard training for Houston! I hope I feel more zippy in a couple of weeks!

Yay Lily!! Nice work. I wish I had my miles tracked from the beginning of the year. I am glad I am tracking now. :)

Congrats, that's a big number. Nothing like achieving goals.

There's still time to get 2000 if you go with Davy Crockett down to his race in Arizona :-)

Nice job - great mileage with some time lost to injury. I am impressed by the leg presses... I think I would snap something (not sure what exactly, but definitely something) if I tried that!

From JulieC on Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 23:20:29 from 67.41.188.93

Lily you are AMAZING!! : D I am sure you LOOK THAT way too !! I want to cry reading about it. I mean vomit. I can't imagine trying to heal after such workouts!!

From Lily on Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 01:02:34 from 67.199.178.210

Thanks you guys. I know there are people with more than 1800 miles for this year, but I had a rough start to 2011. I feel like I still came out on top. I am proud of those 1800 miles.

Julie-this mornings weights HURT. Ouch!

From Steam8 on Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 13:00:17 from 166.70.55.77
