A running and training blog by Andrea Hill (formerly runlikeagrrl on livejournal)
This was a good month:
I hit over 100 miles, which I hadn’t done since May. I ran 19/31 days, and of course scored a big 3 min half marathon PR in Phoenix.
I liked how I’ve started mixing it up a bit, running some shorter harder days on the treadmill. I think it helps [...]

Total miles: 110.46
One completed Race: Bolder Boulder 10K: 48:19
One DNS (Greenland 50K)
Also did yoga and roller derby.
This was a really strong month for me in terms of working out consistently. It wasn’t all running, but it was different activities that kept me feeling strong and energetic!

Total mileage: 92.15 miles, but that’s supposedly because I only ran once between the 11th and the 20th, and that doesn’t seem right.
One race: Boston Marathon (3:47:49)
Derby 5 or 6 times (2 hrs each)

Yesterday someone asked how running was going, and I responded that I wasn’t running much anymore. Granted, I need to recognize that I ran a marathon two weeks ago, so with tapering and recovering, I wouldn’t expect a ton of mileage, right??
Miles: 53 (yes, that’s including 26.2 of it at once)
Roller derby: 8x (2 hrs [...]

Had a good month, logging 189.26 miles. I took 6 days off, so that’s an average of 7.57 miles per run. I spent 26:57 running – that’s almost 27 HOURS of running, wowza!
Overall I feel really strong. Even during the week of my highest mileage (57), my average pace was above 8:40 on [...]

I ran 24 out of 30 days, averaging 6.85 miles per run.
I surpassed 1500 miles this year.
I ran [...]

Miles: 107.58
Ran two races: PRed in the 10K my first week in Colorado, ran an acceptable (somewhat surprising) 3:42 in the Denver marathon.
Started training for the Phoenix marathon using a Custom McMillan plan. I put in 43 miles the first week, in which I also missed one run. However, the runs are already [...]
