My numbers were way down this month compared to April, but that’s mainly due to my doing a few races. I’ve been feeling pretty strong, and I was really happy with my performance in the Indy half marathon. I really need to make sure I get in that third gym workout each week, though. I know that will be necessary to stay healthy as I start to increase my miles again for my fall marathon.

This month marked my return to normal amounts of running. I think all the cycling has helped me build some more endurance without putting any pressure on my body. I was pretty good about getting three gym workouts in each week, and I even set a 10K PR while not even trying very hard. All in all, that’s a pretty good month, and I did not have to visit the elliptical trainer at all!

March had a ton of gym workouts in it plus my return to running. I spent the early part of the month on the bike and the elliptical trainer, but the last couple weeks I have been able to run again. Now I really have to pay close attention to my form when I run so I can keep doing it!

February was marked by my hurting myself to the point that I had to stop running. I also had a week off after the marathon where I had to just rest completely, so my running totals are way down. Fortunately I have learned to substitute in the elliptical trainer, so hopefully when I start running again I will still have most of my fitness.

January included a couple races and the beginning of the taper for the big day. I’m happy with those totals. All I have to do now is show up healthy and ready to go in a little over a week.
Running: 205 miles
Biking: 95 miles
Gym Workouts: 8
I know that’s my highest monthly running total ever. I’m happy with it. That included two 22-mile training runs and my best race so far.
Running: 175 miles
Biking: 76 miles

I’m pretty sure that’s my highest monthly running total ever. It included some really good high points, too. The Turkey Trot was probably my best race ever, and my 20-miler from last weekend was the farthest I’ve ever run where I felt strong the whole time. I’m really starting to get pumped about the marathon!
I saw Richard doing this and thought it seemed like a good idea. I have a spreadsheet where I summarize the miles from my workouts, but I only tend to go through and enter everything in about once a month or so. It would certainly be easier if I did it more often!
Running: 150 miles
Biking: 45 miles

Subject to the accuracy of my spreadsheet, I only had 108 miles in September, so this is a pretty significant increase. I think that mostly comes from converting Monday from a gym day to a running day.
