Call for Miles | Week 8

Ah! I woke up this morning and realized that I didn’t do a call for miles on Saturday. I got home from the Portland to Coast Relay at about 5:00pm, had dinner and hung out the family for a few hours before I crashed for twelve hours of straight sleep.

I’m still tired but I don’t have muscle soreness. I did get some blisters on the bottoms of my feet from not being very prepared for the gravel walk I had, so my feet hurt, but other than that I’m good. The relay was great fun. Hopefully I’ll get the time to post about it in the next day or two. I’ll share the link next week.

Anyhow – week 8 ended on Saturday, so let me know how you did last week and good luck with the rest of this week!

Call for Miles | Week 7

How was your week? We’ve had record heat in my little part of Oregon and it made me very lazy. Not good.

Next week will be a big one for me though, and I hope I hear that whisper of ‘can’ as I’m tackling a seven mile leg of Portland to Coast – it’s my fourth year participating and I’m so excited!

Let me know your miles for week 7, and good luck next week!

Call for Miles | Week 6

Stacy told me this quote when I asked for mantras a couple of weeks ago and it’s a good one. I have a tendency to throw in the towel too often, but from now on I think I’ll try to wipe the sweat instead.

We’re about half way through round TWO. Can you believe it? I can’t! I think it’s been hard for most of us to get miles in this summer – kids home, family vacations, injuries, heat -- but I am inspired each week when I put out a call and you all reply with your miles. Whether it’s a lot of a little it inspires me to get out a little bit more. So thank you!

Let me know how many miles you got, and then go out there and use a towel!

Call For Miles | Week 5

Last week, I asked what some of your “mantras” are and I enjoyed reading them. I thought about this one this week because that is what I needed to tell myself: Keep going. Just keep going! If we do, we get to our goals eventually. Thanks for the inspiration, Timber. :)

How was your week? I hope it was great!

Let us know your miles in the comments, and good luck next week! Don’t let the heat get to you.
