July Recap

At the end of every month I log onto dailymile to see what my monthly mileage was. I was completely shocked when I saw July’s number. July was my highest mileage month EVER!! I almost started to cry because I was so proud of myself. The craziest part is that I still have 13 weeks left in marathon training so I know I will reach a new milestone in the months to come.

• Total miles: 90
• Average Pace: 10:13
• Total miles for the year: 472

And just for fun – here is a recap of the year.

• January 2010 – 70 miles. Avg Pace: 9:40.
• February 2010 – 59 miles. Avg Pace: 10:33
• March 2010 – 61 miles. Avg Pace: 10:23
• April 2010 – 68 miles. Avg Pace: 9:34
• May 2010 – 65 miles. Avg Pace: 10:24
• June 2010 – 59 miles. Avg Pace: 10:02

I ran a bunch of 5Ks in January & April which is why my average pace is so speedy for those 2 months.

2 years ago when I was just thinking about starting to run I never imagined that I could achieve all that I have. I was happy with the thought of being able to run for a mile at 230lbs and here I am at  169 lbs and training to run 26.2 miles.
