August Miles

In preparation for the NYC Marathon, I'm trying to get my weekly mileage up to a level higher than in previous years.

I've run well over 50 miles for the past three weeks (a first), and my monthly total for August was 238, an all time high.

It's hard to tell how much this will pay off in the marathon, but it feels good regardless. The long runs are less traumatic, and the build-up feels healthy, rather than forced.

Knock on wood...
