last january, i began tracking the number of miles i ran. i wanted to know, at the end of the year, how far i had come. on the days i didn't run, i typically cross trained. those miles aren't recorded here.
here's how it breaks down:
January = 74.05 miles
February = 49.15 miles ( i spend several days in the hospital that month and a week skiing, which is why the total is low)
March = 80.5 miles
April = 74.0 miles
May (the month i got the stress fractures because i overdid it) = 96.75 miles
June = zero miles (stress fracture hell)
July = zero miles (wearing the robo-boot, in recovery mode)
August = probably around 15 miles, but not enough to track.
September = 87.15 miles
October = 64.2 miles
November (when morton's neuroma struck) = 22.7 miles
December = 81.85 miles
total tracked miles for 2006 = 631.25
had i not overdone it and been injured for so long, i may have logged near 1,000 miles.
goal for 2007 = stay injury free, run longer distances, fewer days in a row. listen to my body. if it hurts - stop. complete another half marathon. run a full marathon. run a 5K as fast as i can. get a six-pack (abs, of course)
here's to another year of running!
Congrats on a well-run '06. I've been a lazy girl over the holiday break, but my goals for '07 are like yours: Stay injury-free and steadily increase mileage, running every other day or so.
ReplyDeleteAnd LISTEN to my body! Tough to do when your mind wants to keep going :)
