one of the ways i keep myself motivated is to track my miles. adding up all the miles i’ve logged for my “odometer” gives me a good sense of what i’ve been able to do over the years. i usually pay closer attention when i’m about to roll a new thousand (or ten thousand) digit and in april i rolled past forty one thousand miles.
looking at a shorter time frame, i’ve been able to run more than a thousand miles for the year so far. i’m about three weeks ahead of my previous year to date total and would be on track for three thousand miles for the year. narrowing down the time frame a bit further, i was able to run 270 miles during april. this also was a new best for me, nearly thirty percent more than the 209 miles i ran in April 2013.
that’s all good but now it’s the first of may. the monthly total gets zeroed out and i get to start all over again. the alarm sounds at 4:20am and i’m out the door running by 5am. a little past 6am, i’ve run the first seven miles for the month and head for the shower.
