Holy cow, I ran 30 miles this week!

So the past few weeks, my life seems to be completely consumed by running. It's all I do. If I am not at work, sleeping, or eating (see previous post)I am running, or talking about running, or thinking about how far I'm going to be running and what trail I will take. It's really kind of sad.

But there is a silver lining, and that comes from the obsessive-compulsive, data-driven mind of Tyson, who has had me track where I'm running and how long it takes me to go over the past two months. So to start, this is what the spreadsheet looked like:



Notice how short each of my runs were.

Now fast forward to this week when I hit, wait for it, 200 miles!



And that is interesting at all, to me at least, but it doesn't have any flash to make you wonder what is going to happen next! I feel like I could use a Hollywood special effects team to make this running blog more interesting, because I fear I have built up this excitement in my mind and you're going to see the next picture and you're going to be "Really? I scrolled all the way down the page for this?! Do you know how many muscles I had to use to control my mouse in such a fashion so as to allow me to see what was coming next and all I got was this picture? Seriously?!?"

Well, here goes:



This chart shows how far I've run so far, and how much time I have left before the big race!

I know, I know, not that exciting, but it is a really good motivator for me to have something for me to look at that says, "you have to run far this week, because you don't want that line to point down!"

Thanks to Tyson for the obsessive-compulsive, data-driven spreadsheet!
