Nearing 1000 Mile Mark

Started logging my runs October 7, 2006.
As of today total miles run are 974.
That's about the distance between here & Boston!
Next year's distance goal is set at 1500 miles.
Since my last post here are a few good things that have happened:

1. I passed the 800 and 900 mile marks.
2. I ran a personal best one day distance of 18 miles, a 3:06 venture.
3. Ran at least 21 miles on the beach and boardwalk of Virginia Beach.
4. Was 107 out of 398 in Jasper's 5k Staussenfest on August 4.
5. Logged a personal best distance for the week of 50 miles on August 13-19th.
6. Signed up for my first mini marathon race on September 8 at Bloomington.

I have had to contend with some extremely hot runs during this stretch of summer. The results have been slower times and later runs. Sometimes I have had to confine running to the high school track which is slow and monotonous but it sure beats getting on the roads in the dark! I have also had bouts with shin splints but I know now that I can work through them.
