Tonight’s run puts me at 134.6 miles for the month – a whole tenth of a mile more than August. With inaccuracies with a Garmin, let’s just call it even.
September was a great month — I maintained speed, no run besides untimed recovery runs were slower than 9:30-minute miles. My two 20-milers were more than 15 minutes faster than a year ago, and even then the pace felt fairly easy. My new easy and slow paces continue to get faster.

Also this week, I passed 800 miles for the year, just a little more than a week after I hit that mark last year. With the low mileage at the beginning of the year, I would have never imagined even thinking about 1,000 running miles again. It’s not a goal right now because it’s not important to me. Not yet anyway.

Just like a month ago at the end of the month, I have a choppy post at an attempt to reflect. Actually, all I want to do is look ahead. I have a marathon to run on Oct. 15 …
