Month - 2008 - 2009
January - 151- 332
February - 103 - 255
March - 41 - 280
1st Quarter Totals - 295 - 867
(In late february, and all of March of 2008, I was pretty much sidelined due to a bad IT Band injury because I was running erratic distances.)
In 2008, I was in the dumps mentally after two horrible fall marathons where I chased a 3:15. I was seriously thinking I should maybe quit this stupid sport. I then read a book (Running Within), my coach planted an idea in my head, I ran for fun for 3 months, and things turned around dramatically.
Quite the difference with 2009, where I've run 572 more miles than in the 1st quarter of 2008!!
I did have a little knee frustration, but it's at 95%, which to me means... ALL SYSTEMS GO!
Before I get to Boston, I'll have 1000+ miles under me.
In 2008, I reached 1,000 miles in the middle of June.
I also thought it was interesting to look at the 3 months leading up to CIM, vs. these last 3 months leading up to Boston:
- Month - 2008 - 2009
- Month 3 - 287 - 332
- Month 2 - 301 - 255
- Month 1 - 275 - 280
- Totals: 863 - 867 Doesn't get much closer than that!
