Mileage

Do you use a running app or mileage tracker?

One of the reasons I love using Runlogger via Facebook is that it's an easily accessible journal of every run I've done. Today I was thinking about my friends who are running the St George marathon next weekend, wistfully remembering all of the long runs that we ROCKED in preparation for the Oz marathon in April. March was the only month I've ever run 100 miles! One week before the race is when you just get giddy and nervous, because you know you've done everything you can to be ready next week and if you're not ready there's really nothing you can do other than show up and enjoy it! It really is a fun time that's hard to describe.

So, I peeked at March in my Runlogger app today and was surprised to see I've hit 400 miles in this calendar year. I was suprised because I really haven't run very much all summer...like 3 miles every 10 days not very much!

Looking at this today motivated me to get back on the horse, now that our record breaking hot summer is over and I'm injury free. I may even join a new running group Saturday morning. I need more people bugging me to come run more often!
