550

I would just like to take a moment to point out that I updated the miles I've run (on the left side of my blog) and I have passed the 550 miles running!

15 weeks... 557 Miles.
That's an average of 37 miles per week.

- I heard or read that an average person takes +/- 1,500 footsteps per mile.
1,500 x 557 = 835,500 footsteps (or 417,750 per foot.)

No wonder I have intermittant calf, hamstring and foot issues! At these rates the odds are slim to none that you're not going to feel pain somwehere!

For those that live by the metric system:
557 miles is 896 Kilometers!
37 miles per week is 60 kilometers per week!

In 64 more miles, i'll be at 1,000 kilometers. That's just 2 weeks away!
I may just calculate it out and stop and kiss the ground when I reach 1,000.

dang, that's a lot of weekly mileage. I'm supposed to get up to that by March - but for now I am happy with 20-25. :)

I would like to witness you stopping to kiss the ground.
