Yesterday was my first anniversary of running.
Day one vs. day 365:
- 9/12/2011 workout: Couch to 5K – w1d1: 1.53 miles @ 14:52 pace [Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes]
- 9/12/2012 workout: Honolulu Marathon Training Plan – w6d3: 7.53 miles @ a 7:57 pace [pacing test run with a goal of 8:07/mile]
The six-mile difference was completely unplanned!
In 12 months, I’ve:
- Run
- 308 times
- 1,392.36 miles
- 213:55:27 (h:m:s)
- Run 18 races:
- 7 – 5Ks
- 1 – 8K
- 1 – 5mile
- 1 – 10K
- 2 – 12Ks
- 1 – 10 mile
- 1 – 11 mile
- 4 – Half Marathons
It’s been a really, really fun year. I’ve learned a lot and have really enjoyed challenging myself in something that I never really thought I’d find fun and fulfilling.
So, here’s to many, many more years of running enjoyment aaaannnnd…
GIDDY-UP!
