1000 Miles

Year to Date: 1004.35
Whoo! Hoo!

This is the first year I have ever kept a running log, but I'm fairly certain this is the first year I've ever logged more than 1000 miles. It's only September 2. I might even make it to 1500!

Today I ran 12. Not very exciting. I had a very hard time getting started. I woke up at 6:30 and decided to eat a poptart and drink a cup of coffee. I've been forgoing the coffee this summer because I've been trying to get out of the house so darn early, but yesterday's run went so well after having coffee that I thought I was onto something. Anyway, I sat down to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix while I was eating and I just didn't want to put it down. Two chapters later it was 8:00 and I still hadn't left the house!

Everything felt pretty good. My splits were all in the 10s and by the time I got to 9 miles, I decided to pick it up for the last three miles. My real motivation was just getting home, but does it really matter what my motivation was? It seemed to work.

Mile 1 -- 10:46
Mile 2 -- 10:51
Mile 3 -- 10:50
Mile 4 -- 10:47
Mile 5 -- 10:42
Mile 6 -- 10:29
Mile 7 -- 10:27
Mile 8 -- 10:51
Mile 9 -- 10:33
Mile 10 -- 9:55
Mile 11 -- 9:44
Mile 12 --10:11

WTD: 38
YTD: 1004.35

I pretty much have to get up and leave, if I pick up a book or watch a show, it's going to mean an afternoon run.

Congrats on quite a year!
