Met up with my friend Jenna, who I am running with for the OC Half, and went for an 8.5 mile run. Saturdays are my more favorite days to run as its usually by the beach. About half of this run was on the beach along Crystal Cove in Newport Beach.

Two Runs in Corona Del Mar for 13 Miles

Went to a Ducks playoff game the night before and wasn't even sure how far I planned on running Saturday. I figured I would be tired and groggy. As it turns out, I woke up feeling great and I ran about a Half Marathon. I enjoy when I surprise myself with how my body allows me to push it past what it thinks is possible. This puts me at 31 miles for the week. 

First 6.5 Miles 
Second 6.5 Miles

Thats about as ugly as they come

1.5k Calorie 10 mile Run

One my first day out I went 10 miles and for 4 of them was joined by my friend Kim. I stopped along the way to take a few pictures to share. The Running Gods were favorable and gave us some bubblewrap to stomped on the way. The way I look at it is I just finished 1/100th of my goal.

The Beginning

I am going to undertake the task of running 1,000 miles in 1 year and keep a log of every jog that I go on and with who. I would love for anyone to join me in these runs; beginners and experts alike. This will mean averaging almost 3 miles a day. Considering 3 miles takes less than 30 minutes to run; I am committing to 30 minutes out of the 1,440 minutes in a day to running. I have made this blog and group to not only keep track of my runs but to keep me accountable. I hope to meet many new people who will push me to reach this goal. As with every goal I make; I will reevaluate it every quarter. The group on facebook is open to everyone. Free Jogging on Facebook
