Run With Me #16 ~ Over 900km for Year - Rest Day Today
900km for the Year!
Yesterday I officially hit over 900km in outdoor mileage (is kilometerage a word? lol).
MapMyRun my run, my favorite runners app, does a challenge each year to hit a certain amount of kilometers for the calendar year. This year the goal is 1017. Yesterday I got to just a smidge above 900km!
I met up with my client and ran 4 miles yesterday.
Kept it at a nice steady but not too fast pace. I love running with this running partner. We chat almost the entire time and it just makes the miles fly by!
In my endorphin induced state she asked me if I could run with her today as well. Of course I said yes and scheduled it for 7:30am.
Sometimes I forget the importance of rest days for myself and/or I lose track of when my last rest day was. When I woke up this morning I knew I needed a rest day. With the 10miler coming up this Sunday it was time to take a break. I txted and let her know that we both needed to take a break today. I’m the coach so what I say goes. Lol!! 😂
So, I celebrated hitting over 900km with a rest day. Still taught my TRX and got a little strength training in but nothing too too strenuous.
I have a few more runs planned before Sunday’s race but they will all be small and easy.
Check back in with me Sunday and see my race report!!
That’s a pretty good distance for the year so far. Congratulations! I guess you’ll be hitting 1000 here pretty soon.
I wish I had ever been disciplined enough to track my mileage so closely in years past when I was running a few marathon each year Which I haven’t done the past couple of years. I did go for a nice 5 mile run today on my lunch break. I was running with a coworker so we pushed the pace to about 7:30 per mile the last 2 miles and it felt great. The weather was cool and the humidity was low... perfect day for a run.
It’s definitely better running with other people. It makes the miles / kilomete
There’s no time like now! MapMyRun is a free app. It’s highly motivating to see all the data and participate in the challenges. I love a good goal!
