2018 Running Goal - Update #18

I ended up with 93.61 miles for April. That is 9.39 miles short of my 103 mile monthly goal. I was going to try to get the whole enchilada tonight, but something unexpected came up at my house (ah, the joys of owning a home), and my plans were thwarted. I still think this is okay, because if this summer acts like a normal summer, I can ramp up my mileage in June and July and get back on track. Anyway, for the year, I am now 26.35 miles short of where I should be at end of April. I am trying to stay positive.

2018 Running Goal - Update #17

Finally some nice sunny weather deep into the month of April. Temps in the low 50s the last few days. It actually feels like spring wants to stick around. But, I have a lot of mileage to make up in April. I have 9 days left to run before the end of the month, and I'm going to need about 5.8 miles each day to get to my goal of 103 miles per month. It will be a struggle, but doable if weather holds up.

2018 Running Goal - Update #16

Well, April had a huge snow storm that dumped a foot of snow over a few days, so running was out of the equation for me. So, I have only finished four runs out of eight days. To try to compensate for lost mileage, I ran a little longer on a few of those days. I am at 22.34 miles out of 103 for the month. That leaves about 80 miles to go in roughly 22 days, or about 3.6 miles per day. If the weather gets better, I should be able to get that.
