200 miles and counting
2 months into 2008 and I have crossed 200 miles running. 207 miles thus far, to be exact. The running has been good, if unremarkable. Last weekend I ran about 11 miles in 2 1/2 hours at Cougar. That’s about as long as I can run just now, but I think that’s pretty decent. I still haven’t set any major goals for 2008; no races on my calender or anything. You know what? That feels great. I am enjoying the lack of pressure to log a specific distance. I’m maintaining a reasonably high level of fitness, but don’t see any ultras in my near future. I could easily knock out a half marathon or two, though.
According to the app I’ve been using on Facebook, I’m logging just shy of 25 miles per week and a session average of 5.3 miles. Good enough for me! Highlight of my week- a new pair of road shoes AND new trail shoes. I broke in the road shoes yesterday and tomorrow will be testing the trail shoes at Cougar. I didn’t realize how bad the shoes I’d been running in were until I put the new ones on. Oops. Should have switched about 100 miles ago. I’d like to keep up my 100 mile/month schedule. No pressure, though.
