A quest for 80

✴︎

For much of this month I haven’t been looking at my overall mileage very closely. I’ve been feeling great and striving for continued consistency. By shifting my focus a bit, I didn’t realize until the end of last week how close I was to 80 miles for the month — before yesterday’s run it was 18.9 miles to go; now it’s 14.6. I also want to get to 20 miles for the week, so if I’m a bit short Saturday, I’ll certainly nail it Sunday.
There’s something special about hitting 80 miles with where I’ve been since logging 120 miles in October. If I’m this excited about hitting 80, I can only imagine what it will feel like to get back to triple digits again later this year. I’m staying patient, but I’m also very excited for what’s ahead.

    I'm glad you're posting about it, because it got me to look more closely at my mileage from March to April, and made me feel like WHOA PROGRESS.
    Get that 80!!

    That's very exciting David, I now how good of a feeling it is to see those numbers climbing back up again. All I'll say though is keep that patience. I think I let my excitement get the better of me lately, as I've been upping my mileage, and having my knee start to bother me just a bit again. I'm going to slow things way down again for the next week or two and make sure I don't end up at square one with this injury again.
