I began running in earnest 13 years ago today, with a three-mile run at the nearby middle-school track. It was the start of my training for the 1996 Dallas White Rock Marathon. Here is my annual mileage for the past 13 years:
Year Miles Daily Weekly Avg Avg ---------------------------------------------------------- 9-14-96 to 9-13-97 1086.89 2.97 20.84 9-14-97 to 9-13-98 999.57 2.73 19.16 9-14-98 to 9-13-99 827.98 2.26 15.87 9-14-99 to 9-13-00 669.05 1.82 12.79 9-14-00 to 9-13-01 625.89 1.71 12.00 9-14-01 to 9-13-02 523.73 1.43 10.04 9-14-02 to 9-13-03 590.38 1.61 11.32 9-14-03 to 9-13-04 392.95 1.07 7.51 9-14-04 to 9-13-05 362.46 .99 6.95 9-14-05 to 9-13-06 490.91 1.34 9.41 9-14-06 to 9-13-07 488.82 1.33 9.37 9-14-07 to 9-13-08 581.43 1.58 11.12 9-14-08 to 9-13-09 692.89 1.89 13.28 ---------------------------------------------------------- Totals 8332.95 1.75 12.28
This past year was my fourth best, in terms of aggregate mileage. I love running as much today as I did 13 years ago. Curro ergo sum!
