Little AW: 1,000 miles, what's yours?

[jamalynn]

After this morning's run, I hit just over 1,000 miles for the year. Last year I did almost 1,300 so I should pass that number easily with marathon training starting in Nov. 

What are you Awing these days?

Great job!

Congrats!

Which marathon did you pick? Are you running Albany again?

Great stuff!!
I ran my quickest HM distance yesterday - 1hr 49m 25 sec. I'm pretty excited about that.

Congrats!

I got to my designated bailpoint today that I could turn home and do 3 miles, but instead pressed on and did 5 miles, I usually bail. Also I ran up all the hills, I usually end up walking part of them.

I Pr'd my power clean at CF tonight

[CallingAllAngels]

Great job, ladies.

I went for a 4 mile run tonight despite wanting to bail. Three miles in, I thought to myself, I'm tired of this - I wonder how fast I can get home. I ran a 9:39 fourth mile. That is so fast for me! It really helped that the weather is gorgeous.

Sub-8:00 on my 7.6 miles tonight without even really trying! This weight loss thing actually works, plus it was a little cooler tonight than it has been. Nice job everyone!

I have 2. I tripped and fell during my run yesterday at mile 6. I fell hard and then got dragged like 3 feet by my dog who was confused when stopped and saw me on the ground. I'm proud of the fact I picked my butt up and finished out my 10 mile run strong.

Even though I feel sore from that fall, we had plans to go hiking today. I did not want to cancel our plans, so we went out and hiked 10miles through the mountains as planned. It was so worth it too! And I'm soaking in a hot bath currently.

Way to go jamalynn!

I finally closed my eyes and did it- I registered for the Metric Marathon.  It's been causing me more anxiety than necessary, and I hope that I can just stop stressing about it now.  I've never run that distance and probably won't until race day.  But I'll get in with a slow pace group and just focus on finishing.

Last night's track workout was 1600 repeats at 10K pace.  Mine were 7:59, 8:02 and 7:39.  I've certainly never done a 10K at those paces, but I'll take it!   That was a fun workout.

Awesome!

[katyintx]

Wow, 1,000? That's awesome!

My AW is that last night we did 800s, and the pace we were running at felt pretty easy! It was 95 with only about 50% humidity, so it makes me think I am actually getting faster (since it was still hot and all, although not as humid).

[emuni04]

That's awesome!

[hannahb]

Nice job! A patient gave me 4 ravens tickets today and Awesome seats so I'm pretty excited about that.

[thom]

Yay! I'm so impressed by the miles some of you put down. ( I might finally crack 1,000 for the year for the first time in 2014.)

Congrats all!

Way to go jamalynn! Good luck tackling next marathon. You're laying the base for a great one.

I'm probably around 800 miles for the year. I'm old school and track in a notebook, so I'd have to add it all up. It's been a busy year, so doing the best I can here

Oh yes, I am old school as well.  Fortunately, this year, I have done a good job adding up my miles every month.

Probably.  I need a spring marathon that is close so that one works for me now.  After DH gets through law school, I have my sights set on Chicago and some other fun ones though.   

Albany also helps my chances of getting to Boston.

Definitely! That's a fast course. There might not be much in Albany, but I really enjoyed the course for the half. Flat, but with just enough slight ups & downs to use different muscles, plus a strong chance of good weather. I'm sure you'll have another great race.
