Go ahead. I'll wait......
Good! That saves me a lot of typing!
At the end of July I finally went over 500 miles for the year!
Halfway!
My year has looked something like this:
- January - 48 miles (about half of those were from that 1st fateful run and the 1/2 marathon!)
- February - 10 miles (foot injury)
- March - 56 miles (trying to get back up to speed)
- April - 95 miles
- May - 100 miles
- June - 100 miles
- July - 95 miles
Very doable - as long as I don't have an..... "I"-word (I'm not even going to type it) !!
Yes! I'm giving myself a big 'ol pat on the back!
It would have been so easy to give up during all the January drama. Who would have blamed me?? And I cannot even count the times that I have forced myself out into the heat and humidity to get in my 23 miles a week - when it would have been so much easier - and totally justifiable - to just take it easy. But it seems that the more life throws at me: injury, surgery, heat wave, another surgery, gaining 4 pounds (ha!) - the more determined I am to see this through!

Can I do it?? Will I be a triumphant 1,000 mile runner come December 31st?
To be continued.....
Do you have something you'd like to pat yourself on the back for? Let's hear it!!
