200 Miles & ATX 10/20

For the past 3 years, I have used MapMyRun to track my mileage, pace, & routes. I was on it the other day & starting wondering... how many miles have I ran this year? I've been training for a marathon, so I'm sure it's a lot!

January:   119.83 miles
February: 82.70 miles
TOTAL:    202.53 MILES!

Holy shit! I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw that. I was also not really surprised. & proud of myself!

Finally got up to Bandera this past weekend. Dad went up with me, which made it an adventure of course! I can't count how much beer I drank but I know I had a damn good time. Only misfortune was being bit by a dog during my run on Saturday morning...

I have a particular route that I follow when I run in Bandera & it's just around the neighborhood. They're on the outskirts of town so there is not a lot of traffic, if there's any at all (I think I saw 3 cars during my 30 minute stint). While running toward the highway, there were 2 dogs running loose on my right (I ALWAYS run against traffic) that made no motion or threat towards me so I thought nothing of it. On my way back, running right next to them, one ignored me & the other apparently felt threatened & bit my right calf. Reported it with the sheriff, got a bit of the bite, yada yada... Healing just fine!

Signed up for my next run; the Austin 10/20! 10 miles, 20 bands. Should be a lot of fun!
