Due to their recent post I took a look at my miles for the month and saw that if I ran on my day off today, that I too could hit that "magical" (?) 100 mpM mark. Well, I ran my day off today and broke into the 100+ miles per month mark. I ran it at my 10K race pace. Actually, I do feel like I did accomplished a goal. Of course I didn't give that goal any thought until I joined ya' all here at RA back in April 2008. I'm so proud of me Big grin

Good job to all the others in theyapper66 post that made it also. Next milestone to hit- a 10 mile single run

started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14

Well done! You should be proud, that is a great accomplishment! Build easily and slowly though, don't want to end up broken like moi.

Great job, slap! I had a feeling you'd get out there and hit the 100 mark.

I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it, but sometimes I love to hate it.

I'm taking it easy. Looking at my log there is a huge jump in mileage however I'm in shape for it. I'm just making sure I get the base miles and not worrying about the time as much. I find that I am enjoying it more. My goal for November is 25 mpw but i know life is going to get in the way so I'll have to be vigilant to get my runs in this month. My only muscle/tendon issues are my piriformis but ever since I've learned how to do the proper stretches for them and do them after each run I've been injury free. But thats what what I get from running my hilly slanted rural country roads. Not much choice in that manner.
