After a nice gentle 4 miles this morning, I was looking at my running log today and I saw that I had done 199 miles for the month.
I'm not quite sure how this has crept up on me, because I don't really feel like I have done that much more running.
And yet it is my single longest mileage month - since I started running!
And yet '199' is a slightly uncomfortable number. I'll be out later for a slightly faster one just to ensure that it tops 200.
I am also approaching 400 miles in my road shoes. They were something of an experiment really, as they are designed as Trail Racing flats. But as experiments go - they have been a revelation! They are incredibly comfortable. They are great over the marathon distance, as I discovered at Langdale. And for shoes with soft sticky 'performance' rubber on the outsole, they are lasting really well.
I'm not sure that I'll get 500 miles out of them, but it will be pretty close. And with the consistent mileage that I'm going to HAVE to do for this challenge, those 500 miles will come upon me pretty quickly
So this mornings run.
Plan was 8:00-8:30's for between 3 and 5 miles
What I DID was:
4.17 miles
34:44
8:20 min/mile
Splits: 8.22 - 8.16 - 8.29 - 8.13 - 8.16
