October Good News!... but assault on 3,000 will be tough.

Since I missed a turn and ran off-course for about 14 minutes, I added at least a mile to my race, which means that I was able to make up the half mile I was going to need to hit 300 miles for October. I have to assume that I ran farther than a mile off course since my average pace for the race was 10:37/mile, but I'll call it a mile. So my mileage total for October was 300.5!

I need 610 miles to get to 3,000 which will be pretty much impossible to achieve since I doubt I'll get much farther than 300 in November, and December won't be any higher than 250, if even that, since I'll be full on tapering for my big race on Jan 9 for the last two weeks of December with probably 50 and 40 miles on each of those weeks. Getting to 3000 miles is not close to as important as having optimally trained, then fully rested up for Bandera 100km.

We shall see what happens.

(still working on my race report. just too tired to think and I need to get tons of work done this week too)
