1000 Mile Year!!!

1000 Mile Year!!!
Today I reached 1000 miles ran in 2017.  This is the first time I’ve ever surpassed the century mark since I started running roughly 5 years ago.  For a lot of experienced runners this might not be that big of a feat, but for me it’s a pretty monumental accomplishment. All in all I remained consistent with my training besides dealing with a few minor injuries. Here’s the breakdown of my mileage on a month to month basis.

January​​ 112.65​​       July​ ​177
February​ 109.8​       ​August​​ 8.75
March​​ 63.45​​           September ​93.4
April​​ 74.9​​                October​ 105.4
May​​ 92​​                    November ​120.5
June​ ​18.4​​                December 25

As I mentioned above, I had a minor injury that limited my running during June. In August I was sidelined by blisters that I got from my run across the State of Indiana and I also broke my arm in when I had a unfortunate bike accident.  2017 has not been without a few issues, but all things considered I’m pretty happy with reaching 1000 miles on the year, but I think I can still do more.  So, I’m raising the bar in 2018 and I will be attempting to run 1500 miles and work on being more consistent and stay injury free.  ​

Thanks for reading and happy running!!
