September miles

The key to running goals of high numbers is consistency. This actually goes for most long range goals of life. No one run is going to "make" or "break" the overall goal but each and every run becomes important as you put them together.

September is an important month for me in my running. This is the month of the local Virginia Ten Miler race. I always plan to run this race, this year for the sixth consecutive time. This means solid long runs in preparation, but then tapering of miles later in the month. Hopefully I am able to get in my 100 miles for the month.

Here is the number of miles run for each day of the month of September:

2nd 4.12
4th 4.04
6th 5.29
7th 1.17
9th 5.77
10th 5.45
11th 4.00
13th 2.61
14th 10.00
18th 2.39
19th 5.25
20th 4.01
21st 4.27
22nd 4.53
23rd 4.00
24th 4.21
26th 1.00
27th .35 Warm up for race
27th 10.11 Virginia Ten Miler race with a separate report
28th 10.00
29th 4.28
20th 3.19

This totals exactly 100.0 miles for the month of September. I am trying to make that number my minimal amount to run each month and now have a streak of 6 consecutive months in which I have reached that goal.
