Well, October has been a month of first for me! First, I got to 1,000 miles of running goal for the year almost 3 months early, then I have ran more them 10+ miles for now 12 times in a row and counting! And with my 14 mile run yesterday, I have ran for 200 mile in a month for the first time!!
My body is holding up pretty good and hope it will continue to. I have big plans for next year!!

Miles Are Adding Up!!
Well, Last week I ran other 40+ miles for the 5th week in a row and Sunday I ran 10+ miles for the 6th time in a row!! I've ran 220+ miles in the last 5 weeks! Damn, that's more than I ever done in that time period. I'm feeling pretty good about my progress of upping my miles, but now I think I need to start increasing the length of my runs. I would like to start getting in a 20+ miler at least once a week. This would mean to lowering my days of running to prep my body for the long runs.

1,000 miles!
Feeling pretty good today! I hit my goal of 1,000 miles for the year 2 1/2 months early!! After 3 1/2 years of running I'm glad I still love it and still look to improve every year!! I remember my first 5K, I wanted to get under 30 minutes. I ran a 29:13. Now, just running, I run a 5K in sub 25 minutes. I hope I can do this for the rest of my life, just hope the joints don't let me down. So far, so good!!

50+ mile week!!
Wow! What a week of running! I got in 3 double digit runs and 2 of them were back to back! And as far as I know, I ran for 50+ miles for the first time last week!! Feeling pretty good, those 3 to 6 mile runs don't seem to be enough these days. So I might have to run few days with longer runs. Ultramarathon here I come!! :)

Running Year for 2011
Well, first it's been a good year for my running so far. I ran my first half marathon and got within my goal time, and the last few weeks I have been getting about 40+ miles a week and feeling great! As of today I have 61 miles to reach my goal of 1,000 miles this year!! I think I will reach it by the end of this month!! Maybe 1,200 miles will be the goal by the end of the year!!
But!! Next year will be my biggest year of running yet! I plan to run 2 marathons, 1 half marathon and hopefully get on a team to run the Cascade Lake Relay. And of course do the Jingle Bell 5K run in December, 2010 and 2011.
And I'm still working on details to run from Burns, Or to Bend, Or. 130 miles in 3 days!! Hopefully in fall of 2011!!
I guess I won't have much time to hike next year!! And I might need to get some new shoes!! :)
