2014: 2,378.56 miles

Holy moly, that is some serious mileage!!

Streak-versary!

One year!  Over 2000 miles!  Not always easy but always worth it!

2014 goal achieved!!

This morning's run took me over 2000 miles for the year.  It feels pretty great to meet this goal with so many weeks left in the year.  Awesome!

2011 mileage: 1505.50 miles!

Whew.  I was a little concerned making the 1500 goal would be difficult with these last two weeks of December being such a busy time.  Fortunately the weather in Portland was cool but dry so I could get in some great runs.  It sure feels good to set a goal, work towards it all year long, and then actually see myself achieve it.

2010: 1241.17 miles

Love that my running has been taken to a new level. Enjoying the great running weather all year long down here and love the group I started running with in June. I've had running groups on and off throughout the years and I've always enjoyed the social part of it. Some of my best conversations with friends have been during runs. Life's problems get figured out, ideas are bounced off each other, solutions for something totally minor are found... The folks you run with are there 3x a week, rain or shine, cold or hot. There's nothing better than battling out some tough miles with others who love it as much as you do -- and then to top it off with some hot coffee, breakfast, a cool dip in the ocean, or even just 15 minutes of stretching and talking about what we just accomplished. I absolutely love it.

My goal for 2010 was to run 1200 miles. An average of 100 miles per month seemed realistic given unexpected things in life, vacations, etc. I'm thrilled with this year's total miles run!

Goal for 2011: 1500 miles. Bring it.

August goals

mileage - 60 miles
distance - 9 miles
pace - 10 minute miles (for 9 miles)

June: 19.62 miles

Last night I was thinking about what my running goal should be this month. I definitely need a mileage goal, but shouldn't I have distance and pace goals, too? June was spent easing back into running, but now I feel like I really need to step it up. Maybe still a bit conservative, but my goals for this month are...

JULY goals
mileage - 45 miles
distance - 7 miles
pace - 10 minute miles (for 7 miles)

I also need to kick the remaining pregnancy pounds to the curb. A BBQ with old friends at the end of the month is my incentive to lose these last 12 pounds. It's certainly more than the recommended pound or two for healthy weight loss but it would put me back under 130 pounds. If I can somehow pull this off, the last 5 pounds I'd like to lose can wait until Labor Day. If the 12 doesn't happen, I'll try not to sweat it. I just want to wear my regular clothes again!
