Has It Really Been 3 Years?

I wrapped up my running for the month of September this past Sunday and with that I also wrapped up another year.  I can’t believe that it has been three years since I first stepped outside and took that very first step to a new me.  In just under 11 weeks I will arrive at the start line of my very first marathon.  Something that I would have never thought I could do even one year ago.  This past Saturday I reached a new personal best in distance of 16.5 miles.  It had been a while since my last PR and it was worth the wait.

I’m actually going to do my marathon a little different that most of the runners that I know.  I am going to be running 16 minutes and then walking 4 minutes.  This will have me running 80% of the time.  I first tried running 8 minutes and walking 2 but that just wasn’t working out for me.

Today I want to share with you some stats that I’ve accumulated over those three years.

Total Mileage: 2,254.46

Total Time:  2 weeks 4 day 21 hours 54 minutes 1 second
