Jacob, Yeah, I have training logs from my running since 1980. For the most part I've documented everything. There was a small period of time, I think in 1987 that I didn't put mileage into the log, but what can you do. That's why it's good to write something down, if even on a calendar, cuz you just may want it for a trivial reason later. I'll post my yearly totals, but approx. are: I remember that I started at around 1000 to 1500 a year in high school, and then in 1982, when college kicked in, I was up close to 3000. Then it was typically 3100 to 3400 per year through 1987. From then, it went to about 2000 to 3000 a year until about year 2000, then I've been hitting around 800 to 1200 a year. This year looks to be around the 1200 mile mark as well. I know that I'll have around 67,000 miles documented since then. That's kind of a cool figure to throw out there. One thing is for sure. The higher the mileage, the faster my races were. There is a definate connection there. Not that quality doesn't count, but it seems like if the mileage is there, the quality is easier to handle. I'll post the figures tonight. Bill

Wow. That's mighty impressive. 3700 miles in a year is a little over 70 miles/week. that's hardcore. did you just write all this down on a calendar? I hope i didn't make you sit down an add up mileage all afternoon...
