143 miles run in September! Hello, triple digits! It's been so long since I've seen you!
I know that to some of you that sounds impossibly huge, and to others it sounds ludicrously small. I usually strive to run more than 200 miles/month, so to me, it feels inadequate, especially since I'm hoping for a marathon PR in January. But I'm on my way! Last month I ran just over 52 miles. The month before, 8.5, in combination with a lot of walking. (I'm not counting pool running.) So things are looking up!
My tracking program also tracks my other activities, like walking, mountain biking and pool running. (I don't track rafting, skiing, or hiking/backpacking, though.) Interestingly, when I add them all together by time (since pool running and elliptical don't have distances associated with them, I can see that even though I spent a lot of time being active over the months of rehabilitation, my total active time is still a lot higher when I can actually run. I think that's because I like going out on long runs, and hate spending long periods of time in the gym.
I've got just under 31 hours of "workout time" this month - so basically, I spent on average just over an hour every day doing some sort of exercise. Hooray!
