91.6 miles and 26 hours so far. now that i am actually counting the time i spend being active in aikido class, things add up quickly. do not ask me why i thought they didn't really count before. i come out of class sweaty and tired and i'm still working on convincing myself that it really is a sport activity. mostly because my mental health barometer is a bit skewed. i find myself lately blaming the rest of the world for not seeing the truth of the matter that i am in reality a lazy failure. academically, i get that i'm doing the equivalent of a part time job with aikido and running (and biking to and from work) in addition to the full time job that i am actually doing, but when i look at myself, i still see failure. yes, i know i need help, no i still haven't convinced myself i deserve it. meanwhile, my long runs are going spectacularly. i am a contradiction. sorry for the comment spamming, feel free to ignore.
35.5km! And my heel is acting up, so I might be on DL for the rest of the month. But at least I got really close to my running goal! (and you know, we'll see what my heel thinks of this all after a few days of rest)
I was basically away from 9th August until today, but as of 19th I had run 10 km of my goal of 25 km. I had also clocked 19 active hours, because it turned out that the con involved a whooole lot more walking than I'd been expecting when I set myself a lowball goal of 15 hours.

Have been running four times a week for five weeks now, and it's definitely harder, both on my body and logistics-wise.
