I finally updated my running log to Runner's World today. I ran a little over 750 miles last year which at first sounds like a lot, but when you break it down it's really not very impressive. But, it is what is, right?
Before I get all negative on myself let me just say that in that year I trained for and completed my first marathon. I also ran a half marathon (PR of 2:05), my first and only 10k, and two 5K's..both 5k's I ran with my daughter. I hope I'm not forgetting anything although it wasn't a big year for races since my focus was really marathon-marathon-marathon.
According to my running log, I ran less than 30 miles in December and less than 30 miles in January..now that is pathetic! February isn't looking much better, I have to say. I should also mention that we have had a LOT of snow. In fact, our kids have had 6 snow days so far this winter.
On average, I'm only getting out about twice a week and that's just not enough. Running 4 or 5 miles is a real effort right now...I'm hoping for better days to come.
The log also tells me that I have 500 miles on my shoes! I was ready for a new pair right before I did the marathon, but I didn't want to make that rookie mistake. So, I ran the race in the old shoes which was fine. I was going to wait until spring for new shoes, but I think enough is enough. It's definitely time..
Well, I'm looking forward to spring and wearing a few less layers..how about you?
