2020 Running Goal - Update #21

May is officially done. I missed three running days and had a couple running days where I wasn't feeling good or was too tired to finish. But, all in all, it was a good month. I ended up with 165.16 miles, which makes May 2020 my third most mileage month ever.

My body is pretty decent, even though about a week ago, I accidentally hurt my ribs on my right-side when a metal handle was pushed into them. It is slowly healing now and getting better every day.

I have one more month of running to get to the halfway point of the year. I am about 129 miles away from the halfway point of my 1,500 mileage goal, so I believe that is doable. With good weather and a healthy body, I should be finally able to get rid of my mileage deficit as long as I don't miss too many days.

I am currently only 1.66 miles behind where I need to be at this point in the year after having run for over 103 hours. Let's keep this train going.

2020 Running Goal - Update #20

Well, I missed one running day so far this month (yesterday), so I think I'm in really good shape mileage-wise. I've been feeling physically good overall doing my morning runs, too. I think I'll try to run a half-marathon this weekend as the weather forecast looks good and I would like to get another one under my belt so I have a shot at getting ten done for the year.

I noticed I am getting close to 4,500 running miles and should pass that in about 4 or 5 days. I have been keeping track with my GPS watch since 2013.

2020 Running Goal - Update #19

I started May planning to run exactly 50 minutes per day, hoping to average somewhere around 5.5 to 6.0 miles. So far, so good. I had one day where I had no energy, so I didn't get very far. But other than that, I'm feeling good with my effort and energy.

I am officially under 1,000 miles now, with only 994.63 miles left to run in the year. With the increased daily run time, I'm also finally starting to decrease my mileage deficit. Today is the 130th day, so at 4.10 miles per day, I should be at 533 miles to be on pace. I am at 505.38, so only 27.62 miles behind (or roughly 6.7 running days).

Current yearly stats:

Runs: 106
Distance: 505.38 miles
Total Time: 84h 59m 12s
Avg Distance Per Run: 4.85 miles
