Danville Running and Fitness Club

a little update on my quest to run 2011 miles and 365 days straight. We hit the 100 mile mark this morning haven't missed a day so far.. A good slow easy run this morning ( most runs have been that) Outside temp of 20 with wind chill of 10.So far no injury problems, had to deal with weather and a couple 12 hour days at work, But still managed to get run in. So far all runs have been outside. Started a Live Healthy America team last week, So I have another reason to get out and run. Stay tuned for more updates at a later time

Time to annouce my goal for the coming year to the world. It is what I call Operation 2011/365. my plan is to run 2011 miles total and to run at least once every day. That's 365 days straight.I will either end up injured or in pretty good shape. But at least i will be able to eat pretty much any thing I want. Does any one want to join me in my quest? That means a weekly average of about 39 miles. I am starting off using the Jeff Galloway run/walk method.

The Shamrock 5K was one of the happiest races I have ever run.  The day was beautiful and everyone was in high spirits.  I saw a lot of new faces on the course and quite a few familiar ones as well.  If there was ever a perfect day for a race, it was March 20, 2010.  After a long, cold, dreadful winter everyone was out to stretch their legs and enjoy the warmth.

Running and blogging? Two of my favorite things combined in one lovely place. Even better, since this is a website about running and fitness I can assume that if you are reading this you must have some sort of interest in running, unlike my friends and coworkers whom I am sure simply tolerate me and nod at what they consider to be my complete insanity. I mean afterall who wants to run 10 miles? With nothing chasing me? So I'll take a moment to explain how this obsession started.

I am the epitome of a has-been runner.  In college I ran cross country.  After college I did an ironman triathlon.  I loved to run, bike, train, and do whatever athletic activities I could find.  After that I got away from training every day and eventually stopped altogether.  Fast forward 12 years and I find myself in the worst shape of my adult life.
