So, tapering for my first marathon on November 6th, 2011 led me to create a training plan for the first time since I started running again.
I haven't been the best at following it. Went a few miles longer than I should have last week.
Realized something great, though: if I actually follow the plan, I will hit my 1,000th mile since starting to run again somewhere during mile 26 of the marathon.
Holy crap. Couldn't have timed that better if I tried.

That's really cool.

How was your marathon? More importantly, how was the 1000th mile?
The marathon rocked! Hardest thing I've ever done--and most rewarding. Mile 1000 was a HUGE boost to me--it hit during mile 25!
