DAY 70 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

I literally jumped out of bed this morning in anticipation of Day 70 (the last run of the challenge). I cannot believe I made it this far. Remembering the first few days of the challenge being so terrifying. Feeling anxiety and fear that I wouldn’t be able to do it – especially since I announced […]

DAY 69 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

I still have this lingering stomach virus, although this morning’s pains weren’t nearly as bad as yesterday. I was debating on whether I should go to the hospital afterwards – the pain subsided enough that I decided not to, but still might if it doesn’t go away in a week (or if the pain gets […]

DAY 68 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

Today’s run was terrible to say the least. I caught a stomach virus (I think) on my way back from Portland which has been causing shooting pains in my stomach, and I feel very tired and weak. Toronto’s weather was really hot and humid at 23 (definitely felt +30), which didn’t help. Mentally and physically, this […]

DAY 67 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

I’ve returned home from my trip to Portland and today’s run was back in Port Credit. Yesterday’s crazy early morning run left me physically exhausted so I went to bed shortly after my plane landed early evening. Today’s run was probably my slowest one so far of the challenge. My digestive system was out of […]

DAY 66 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

I’ve been dreading this run since I booked my return flight back from Portland. I wasn’t able to find a direct flight back to Toronto on Wednesday July 19th later than 8:00am which meant that I would need to do my run at around 3:20am to get there in time. I’ve learned over the years […]

DAY 65 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

I’m visiting my aunt in Gresham, Oregon for the last leg of my trip and got to experience a more scenic run today (as opposed to the city view). Gresham is very close to Columbia Gorge that encapsulated beautiful waterfalls, a dam and fish ladders, amazing hikes, vistas, and many other incredible sights. I ran […]

DAY 64 OF THE #RUN70 MILEAGE SERIES

Today was the hardest run I’ve done so far of the challenge at day 64. All the walking around Portland, early morning wake-ups, and lack of recovery has left my body feeling stiff and very sore. Today it felt like each step hurt – I had a throbbing headache and each kilometre felt like it […]
