Congrats! I am going to hit 80, later today. That will be my highest to date. I want to maintain that through the winter, and then work up to 100/month in the spring. When I look back at 30 mile months earlier in the year, I'm pretty happy with 80, though.

Not even close. I need a 3:20. Not sure how I drop another 20 minutes off that effort. I know the prescription though. More miles, mostly easy, sometimes hard

That and age. Getting that extra 10 minutes helps. I figure at that rate I can BQ somewhere around age 60. Shocked

I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Paul, congratulations! I know (from hitting the same milestone on the same date), that this is a big deal. I'll be looking forward to bigger and better things from you. Big grin

Thanks, again. Looks like quite a few of us here are enjoying the same milestone this month. Glad to be a part of the progress.

Thanks a lot- I being hanging at 20 mpw for the last 4 weeks or so. After i read your post, I looked to see my monthly mileage. Hey- if I run on my day off on Friday I too can hit 100 for the month. You just cost me my day off from running Smile

Let you know if I make it- only 10 more miles

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

You're making some good progress, red. Keep slowly building your base and I bet first of 09 you nail a 100 mile month, too.
