Adding the miles

I did a quick run late this afternoon, which gave me over 100 miles for the month of April. My total for the year is now 357.27 miles after my 3.27 miles today.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 331.54 miles

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 165.77 miles.

Running after the rain

The needed rain continued for all morning and early into the afternoon. This still allowed me to get out for a nice 3.57 miles later on in the afternoon. I ran in the cemetary and there was a man walking his dog, as well as a lady who was sitting in her car reading. The cemetary is getting to be a popular place to go. Everyone ends up going there eventually.

The mileage now for me for the year is and even 354.00 miles.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 326.06 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 163.03 miles.

A tough run

I managed to get in 3.48 miles in the cemetary this afternoon.

I am not sure exactly why, but the run was not easy. It took me well into the second mile before I felt comfortable running. However, I did get the miles in and am pleased with that.

This gives me 350.43 miles for the year. I am also nearing the 100 mile mark for the month of April. Anytime I get over 100 miles in a month, I am very happy with that.

There were a lot of tent catapillars on the pavement today as I ran. It is that time of year. I never know whether to step on them or let them live.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 323.32 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 161.66 miles.

A nice long run

I got up and was out the door early for a run downtown and back. This is something that I occasionally do on a Saturday and it net me 11.12 miles. Since I did not run yesterday, I wanted the extra mileage and this certainly gave me that. That leaves me with an excellent week of running.

My milesage for the year is now at 346.95 miles.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 320.58 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 160.29 miles.

Sneaking in a run

On a beautiful Thursday in Virginia, I realized that I had several time commitments that was going to make a run during the normal times, next to impossible to pull off. So, I snuck it into my morning schedule and got in 3.3 miles under near perfect weather. The lawn mowers that were not operating yesterday during my run, were out in full force today. It led me to wonder just how much money is spent on gasoline for lawn mowers. At one time that was not a concern, but at today's prices it suddenly is something to think about.

The easy run gave me 335.83 miles for the year, over 1/3 of the 2008 goal.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 315.1 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 157.55 miles.

Running on a beautiful spring day

The weather doesn't get any better than what it was this afternoon. The sun was shining, the temperature was a pleasant 72 degrees, and there was no breeze to contend with during my run today. Utilizing this perfect weather, I ran a pleasant 6.48 miles. There was the sound of lawn mowers all along the way as everyone seemed to be making use of the weather.

This gives me 332.53 miles for the year.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 312.36 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 156.18 miles.

Varying the type of run

I needed to stay near the phone at my house today. As well, there was the threat of rain. As a result of these two facts, I decided to run 3 shorter segments with a quick stop at my house to check the phone. This was a good variation of my normal run and allowed my times for each mile to be a bit shorter than normal.

My running program has settled into a good, solid system each day that is working for getting me enough miles each day.

The total miles was 3.34, giving me 326.05 miles for the year.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 309.62 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 154.81 miles.
